    Why do we even follow this joke of a charade when we know exactly what's going to happen.

    Turned it off when the Warriors were in the penalty with 9 minutes left in the 3rd. #Blatant

    That was a flop and a half.

    On the one hand.... I hate Draymond and it's nice to see his bullshit not work anymore. On the other hand, I despise the Lakers and Anthony Davis is the softest big man I think I have ever seen.

    Curry is the real MVP. Sorry Jokic and Dame

    On ESPN they just showed that the Lakers are 3 to 1 favorites over the Suns. It's the first time that a seventh seed has ever been favored over a second seed and they're favored by a lot. I think it makes sense though. I don't think the Lakers will play as bad as they did in the first half again and they are really deep and have very versatile lineups they can put out there.

    Imagine working hard and get a 2 seed then find out the 7th seed is the favorite. I don’t envy the Suns

    Nah. He wasn't even that good in this game. His turnover with the Warriors up 3 late was awful. His refusing to take an open 2-pointer down 3 with 40 seconds left led to a second year guy taking the game-tying shot.

    I’m rooting for Grizz to beat Warriors even though Warriors would have a better shot against Jazz.

    I’ve been saying Curry is trash but no one will listen. He couldn’t respond to Kyrie in 16 and can’t respond to LeBron tonight. Does Curry even have a signature moment in the playoffs? Besides getting shut down by Kevin Love, I mean?

    Because they're going to enjoy watching a Blazers/Lakers series?

    Portland is in the 3 vs 6 slot. If they advance they'd play the winner of the 2 vs 7 match-up which would be Suns or Lakers
