    It was over as soon as he fouled out.

    Many years ago, I sat at courtside, I’m talkin on the floor front row for $1500/ticket for Clippers a few times and thought it was totally a good deal for that seat (basically Jack’s seat at Laker games). One time I sat next to Paul Allen. Another time, Donald Sterling. Totally worth it. I sat courtside at Warriors too in their Oakland days. About the same price. Good times.

    It will be because of the media and their agenda making him look like the angry black man or something.

    Pretty crazy to think Jokic missed 3 Free Throws and two wide open looks from three in the last few minutes of that game. Not blaming him for the loss as many players didn’t step up but that was pretty uncharacteristic of him.

    I like Draymond's game and intensity, but I wish he'd drop, Its about making him look like an angry black man. When he hammered nurkic that's flagrant, he's not an innocent victim.

    Draymond can score. Just didn't. Role players stepped up, so did Butler, Green disappeared.

    The end of the first half was incredible. Indiana couldn’t miss.

    I think the issue is the Cavs don’t have a LeBron James.

    It really hurt not having the full team for the first two games in Cleveland.

    This is exactly why you make the playoffs and see what happens. Anything can happen in a playoff series. Already we have seen The Bucks, Warriors, Cavs all decimated by injuries and now out (Cavs still have a chance). Health is what matters in the playoffs. The team that can stay healthy and play consistent will win in the end. Depth will prevail.
    A few years back Golden State won it all without ever playing a team with a full roster.

    This is why the way games are called changes so drastically from regular season to playoffs. Teams being allowed to play like the playoffs all season would produce much more exciting games yes but unfortunately players would never make it through 82 games.
