    Just have to say, I absolutely hate Marcus Smart's offensive game. He thinks he is better at it than he is, but it is rubbish.

    Yeah same here probably why the Celtics went with IT despite his defensive liabilities.

    Gordon Hayward is a joy to watch.

    Draymond hurt his knee. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

    With no major blows to the teams. You pretty much know who's going to the NBA finals before the season even starts. I bet the majority of the NBA fans even have a good guess at who's going to win. GSW right? The NBA really needs to do something about the players having too much freedom for where they go and who they team up with. I really wish the NBA would go back to hard nosed basketball with hand checking and first round best of 5 series.

    Tonight's lineup: Cavaliers @ Raptors, Spurs @ Rockets. It's the Captors and the Sprockets! Sounds like an '80s band.

    Since I don't watch non Blazer NBA basketball, did he hurt it trying to kick someone?

    No, he fell down driving to the hoop and when he got back up it buckled on him, but it was nothing. He laid there and then went the the locker room and then came back to play all within a few minutes.

    That was awesome. Olynk is a punk, and players don't do shit like what Oubre did often in today's NBA.

    That was a clean screen, shouldn't have even blown the whistle. Oubre was just mad because Olynyk laid him out with that screen.

    Olynyk would whoop Oubre's ass, that was a good flop on the push to seal a flagrant 2 and possibly suspension. Not that Oubre is a difference maker.

    I agree, I'm still glad to see that kind of intensity return to the NBA.

    Pop figured out Harden. This arms up defense is giving him no more of his bullshit foul calls. Love this coaching back and forth from game to game in the playoffs

    CJ spending a lot of his offseason time on ESPN. Definitely going to get into broadcasting/sports media after he retires. Very well spoken, if I wasn't a Blazer fan I'd still love to hear his takes.

    Love the exposure for him. Gotta do what he can to raise his profile nationally. He is really well spoken too.
