    Also, ESPN is fucking terrible.

    Given the intensity of that game, showing no replays, not showing and talking about game resets, cutting away to ads during last minute timeouts, failing to analyze even the most crucial play at a deeper level. They even showed promos while FTs were being shot in the last two minutes. Ruined a great game.

    I am but they’ll probably lose. Needed 7 games and a miracle comeback from 1-3 to beat injured Jazz.

    Denver was missing two starters as well. Now that Harris came back he played the crucial D on Mitchell last possession. They still miss Barton though, but what i'm saying is not only Jazz were injured.

    Big problem for Denver is Millsap is crap. He was normally the one that was guarding the LeBrons, Kawhis etc of this league. Grant is good, but not like prime Millsap.

    “The Blazers can boast they’ve reached the postseason seven consecutive times. During that run, however, the Blazers were eliminated three times by sweeps and four times by series counts of 4-1”

    Tell me again why this team isn’t being blown up? It’s clear it’s not working. Now don’t get mad at Fentress for spitting REAL facts.

    Did you happen to miss "Eventual Champions" on three of those losses and most likely 4 if the Lakers win the chip this year? You seem to also have missed the one WCF and Two other second round exits.....

    The NBA and networks will do everything in their power to ensure a Clippers vs Lakers WCF. That is a given.

    How did the Miami Heat end up being better than us? How do they play better defense than us when they sometimes have 3 guys on the court who are not very athletic at the same time? How come we didn't get Jimmy Butler when Minnesota traded him? Are they in better shape than us? Are they held more accountable?

    Not only are they better than us now, but they have the cap space to sign a star in the offseason.

    Miami is just playing at a different level from anyone else right now. Such precise execution.
