    2 missed shots in second half. That's it. One of the best performances of the playoffs thus far.

    You are not completely wrong. Against Phoenix, PG has been more dominant, but before this series, your opinion was more common amongst Clippers fans.

    Jusuf Nurkic On Next Season: 'If [Lillard] Goes, Then I Leave Portland As Well'

    This is why you can’t trade Dame’s friends. He will get mad and if Dame leaves all of them leaves lol.

    Dame is not going anywhere. But if he did...... does anyone care what other vets leave? They would be trading them all for young players. No room for a high-maintenance center. Dame seems like the only one who can keep Nurk in check.

    So again like most every year we are seeing what it takes to win deep in the playoffs.

    Gritty hard nosed defensive work for 48 minutes and players that have great games throughout the series.
    Coaching adjustments and health of players
    Luck! Lots and lots of Luck. When shots from beyond the arc bounce three times off the rim and still find their way in while the other team seemingly misses gimme layups the ball in bouncing your way.

    Last but not least in any way. Officiating.

    The regular season pales in comparison.

    Blazers blew this post season in game 3. The one thing that will come from all this will be a few much better teams. Unfortunately one of those teams will not be the Blazers.

    I would have thought that deserved a flagrant 2. That move is taught to Army basic trainees to try to disable an enemy combatant. It looked like 100% intentional to hurt.

    Ty Lue is the best coach in the NBA.

    They're like bizarro counterparts. Doc Rivers: most likely to go 2-0 up and lose. Tye Lue: most likely to go 0-2 down and win.

    Most float in the around 30M between the cap and the luxury tax.

    Warriors were about 37M over the tax line. That would be a tax bill of about 117M. If they were in the repeater tax, the penalty would have been 157M

    Nets were about 34M above the threshold. So, about 103M in tax

    Clippers were only 5M over so about 7.5M in tax

    Trae out. Don't see much of a chance for the Hawks to get a W here. They will need the game to get ugly for them to scrap it out if they want a shot.
