    And that's it. Three (four?) missed threes by San Antonio with Patty Mills rebounding like a fiend. There are now 13 teams left. The Warriors will face the Pelicans in the second round. Starting Saturday, I believe.

    Not only did the Warriors not get knocked out in the 1st round, they did it without Steph Curry.

    "Steph curry held the Warriors back" is what you'll say, but it does make me giggle.

    Amazing 3rd quarter by Philly last night. That team has some great chemistry and they play brilliant basketball. Simmons passing is insane.

    Clutch x2 by James. First the block to save the game, then the three at the buzzer for the win.

    The block was clearly a goaltend, but it made up for the "turnover" right before that was really off Indy. Regardless though, that 3 was winning the game. Incredible shot. Better than MJ's playoff buzzer beater against Cleveland?

    Whats worse.
    Portland getting swept by the Pelicans this year.
    Or
    A former MVP, a top 3 SF in the league, and Memelol getting beat down 4-1 by a team who lost their best player in the previous FA.

    Not as good as the MJ shot because of the situation. It was a series winning shot. Similar to Dame's shot.

    Are we certain that Cleveland didn't fuck up with their midseason trades? Wade, Rose, and Crowder have been playing great in playoffs. Why did Cleveland trade them?

    Crowder just hit his 6th three. Cleveland could totally use him.

    Oh well, at least they won't blow another 4th quarter lead. Down 71-46 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd. That team has a whole lot of quit in it. We may hove gotten swept, but at least we showed up.

    I just don't understand why Russell Westbrook shoots so much. He's horrible at it. He's taken more shots than Paul George and Carmelo combined. What the fuck? There is substantial evidence that they play MUCH better when he takes 17 or fewer shots and yet he just chucks up the shots anyway. Makes me nostalgic for Kobe in a way. He was selfish as fuck but at least he won championships.

    We showed up for one game. And in that game (4), we played horrible defense.
