    Curious is the Thunder looked better than most thought they would? Hold on, let me go look at the predictions.......

    They barely beat the Jazz at home, when PG played amazing and Russ (surprisingly) allowed him too. And it's one game...

    They looked bad against us. I think it was because they played the Warriors the night before. By the way, they beat the Warriors by 40 so they can't be too bad.

    They'll come back. I ve seen many times where a team gets trounced in one playoff game just to come back and dominate the next.

    I'm still betting that the Cavs take this series.

    And I'm still betting (not really - I don't bet) that we take ours. Doesn't mean both POR/CLE aren't playing well.

    Sixers are so fun to watch. Blazers are one of the youngest team but can’t run like the Sixers.

    Cool to see Rebecca Haarlow with a national TV job. She's working courtside for Sixers/Heat right now.

    Blazers are THE youngest team. By the way, we would sweep the Heat easily.

    Can't overreact to one game. I love the Pacers and would be fine with them winning, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavs win the series in 5.

    Looking for constructive feedback on how to improve the way I talk on these, whether it be inflection, tone, delivery, enthusiasm, etc.

    I'd say you're plenty constructive. I wouldn't look to change too much in that department.

    Olynyk is so solid. Dude makes the right play consistently.. catches the ball at the FT line, spins to pass to the weak side, realizes two guys are standing right next to each other in the corner, waits for the first guy to cut, pass fakes to the cutter than passes corner. 3-ball. Such a solid player.
