Huge comeback!

**TahoeJ** · 04-16-2019, 09:33 PM

Murray stepped up big time...

**DolphinSki** · 04-16-2019, 09:35 PM

Woah! Jamal Murray! Those back-to-back threes were huge!

**The SnowShow** · 04-16-2019, 09:47 PM

Murray was clutch!

Zers, baby. Gritty as fuck.

**TahoeJ** · 04-17-2019, 07:54 AM

Nice seats plugboots.

Really got the vibe from that game that Lillard and Westbrook *do not* like each other. You probably got a nice up close look at it.

**Danno** · 04-17-2019, 09:13 PM

Pleasantly un-disappointed that the Celtics are 2-0.

**cinnepa** · 04-18-2019, 04:21 AM

^^^i will respectfully take the opposite opinion.

**Danno** · 04-18-2019, 06:55 AM

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

**MultiVerse** · 04-18-2019, 07:41 AM

The Celtics aren't looking as good as expected, though. Bogdanovic is good but not a closer like Oladipo and yet the Pacers were still in it with a shot for both games. At this point maybe the Celtics are playing up or down to their opponent. The Rockets on the other hand are playing like assassins. It's been a rough couple of games for the Jazz.

Closer to your mom!

Let's not get too excited.

FUUUUUUCCCKKK. Second game in a row the Pacers have blown a double digit lead with a scoring drought. I think they've still got a great chance to tie the series up at home. As of now, Vegas has them as the favorite for Game 3.

I love Bogey, and he's developed his game so much this year going from a spot up 3 guy to someone who can score mid-range and at the rim. I really hope the Pacers re-sign him this offseason. But he's not Oladipo. He isn't a guy you can just give the ball to in an iso at the end. Pacers are playing well because they've got great team chemistry and it's tough to see them throw that away at the end of the game for iso plays.

Rockets look like best team right now. Much as I hate to watch them

Yup. Pretty weird to see yourself in the background watching highlights.

There seems to be something wrong with Westbrook, he was off his game somehow and Lillard appeared to pick up on that. And George? His shoulder is just messed up.

It's all about matchups, though. However, let's just say I'm a lot more concerned about the Rockets now that the Warriors don't have Boogie. He was absolutely destroying Capela - and the pick n roll action that he and Klay were putting on Capela and Harden was going to give Houston fits - they had no answer for it the last time they played. The Warriors weren't very deep even before losing Boogie - Steph and KD are going to have to log more minutes than usual in that series (if it happens).

**DolphinSki** · 04-18-2019, 06:18 PM

Embiid out tonight. Nets by 20? Especially since they're probably pretty fired up after Embiid and Simmons laughed during their post-game interviews at the question about Embiid elbowing Allen.

EDIT: Nevermind.

**TahoeJ** · 04-18-2019, 08:57 PM

Warriors are up 11-4... the officiating so far is horrible. Get the damn whistles out of your mouth.

Now it’s 22-9 and it’s still really bad. No excuses, they just suck.

Choppy game due to all foul calls.

Sure, it's choppy. The Clippers are trying to make it choppy. Everything is clearer now though, couldn't find a good TNT stream so I'm watching the game on an NBC Sports Bay Area stream...these are the whiniest announcers I've ever heard. It's just non stop complaining. Not saying you guys are like that, but this type of announcing can influence your opinion.

**54-46** · 04-18-2019, 10:02 PM

Dubs n Clips on pace for 62 fouls in game (pretty even 16-15)

**TahoeJ** · 04-18-2019, 10:09 PM

Clearly Beverly is in KD’s head. I mean, if he wasn’t he’d have way more than 27 points after the first half.

Btw - I’m watching the TNT feed.

I flip back n forth and watch with the sound off half the time. Shitty flow and stats are obvious no matter who announces
