    Yep. Pacers won in 6.

    And yes, a series between these two current squads will be great. Julius Randle and Jimmy Butler led squads should be pretty good.

    Poor Boston fans. Three ECF appearances in 4 years without a series win and now they’re in the play-in and may very well lose it.

    Poor portland fans. 1 WCF in 9 years with no conference final game won.

    Not feeling too bad for Boston.

    Yes but we’re healthier with better prospects than Boston right now. I’d rather be a Portland fan than Boston fan right now.

    The Grizz winning that game. I think there will be some in here making a big deal about our team being in the fifth slot after this game but those people better take a look at the schedules.

    Thats a matter of opinion. Of course you'd say that.

    Boston plays in an easier conference, with a fake top team in Milwaukee and fragile Philly. We have *checks notes and then gestures wildly at the western conference* all this.

    Can’t wait for your post next year. Only 1 NBA Championship in 9 years. I’m convinced the people that are negative will stay negative even if we win it all. TEN people here want Stotts fired even if we win it all. Many people will say it has an asterisk because Players X and Z were injured. Negative people will always be negative.

    Thanks to Memphis, we have control of our destiny. Definitely not an easy road ahead, but it is there.

    Big Knicks fans tonight!

    That doesn't make sense. We are talking about today.

    You also said the Warriors didn't deserve a championship because the other team had injured stars. Can't complain about someone else to which you are also at fault of doing.

    Boston’s second best player is out for the season and they have a much worse record than us. Blazers fans having more fun so far.

    I didn’t say deserve or not. Just pointing out facts.

    In the post I quoted you were talking about the future.

    Keep up man. One post I have to say were talking about now. Next post I have to say were talking about the future.

    My post still stands. We have a heavier gauntlet today and in the future when their second best player comes back.

    So if you're pointing out facts are you going to correct yourself? You're at fault here too

    And you did say they didn't deserve it. You said it several times in trying to make a point to which you now want to counter with.

    I'm all for ending the discussion here, just own up to your side of it. Thats all I'm asking for. Be accountable.

    I feel bad for Bulls fans. They were in the playoff race when they made the trade and then they completely collapse. Sucks.
