    Seems like the Mobley Allen pair of two bigs just didn't work in the playoffs. They were great in the regular season and Mobley has a bright future. Just need better spacing with a 5 man unit than having them both on the floor. Maybe Mobley gets a 3pt shot some day.

    It's part of the reason I was so critical of the huge Nurk contract. Bigs that can't shoot 3s while good over 82 games are much harder to play in the playoffs.

    Nurk has 3 playoff wins and 13 playoff losses as a Blazer; not a coincidence nor that the year he was out they made the WCF.

    The Bucks just crumbled late in the last two games. Not taking anything away from Jimmy Buckets because he has been brilliant but it took both him being so great and the Bucks really breaking down.

    It's going to be hard for the Kings to come back even though the Warriors only have a one game lead after this. The Warriors just have so much experience to draw off of.

    Giannis with 38/20 but........ "you got to make your free throws"
    The 7 turnover didn't help either

    Just because you repeat it doesn't make it right.
