Devin Booker, DeAaron Fox, Jamal Murray, and Jimmy Butler are playing as well as anybody during these playoffs.  Booker vs Murray should be fun.
Kawhi is quickly becoming the new Porzingis.

It's really hard to watch the Clippers be bad.  And have a stratospheric payroll.  And with the new CBA looming, have almost zero avenues for improving their team.

I'm devastated.
Jokic and the boys are going to smack the Sons right on their baby bottoms.

Jokic brothers vs Booker 2.0.
What an awful start of the playoffs for Cuban.  He has to know that Luka sees Jalen playing great on one of the new league darlings after the Knicks being a mess last year.   Then Luka can see the quickly rebuilt Lakers have a new lease on life by picking up 4-5 solid players at the deadline for the corpse of Westbrook and a top 4 protected future pick.    

Things can change in the playoffs, but Mark better hope the internet connection is not strong in Slovenia right now.
Mobley and Allen both lacking 3-point range has been killing the Cavs. If Robinson is allowed to camp in the paint he is an absolute monster around the rim.
If you shut down Mitchell and Garland from scoring, the Cavs can't win..they're not getting nothing from their bigs and Levert and Okoro are the only ones creating any semblance of offense. Mitchell has been less than stellar these last few games.

With the lack of spacing it´s difficult to create good looks. Paint is clogged and they are forced to into difficult pull up attempts. Mavs would know. Too many guys that don´t need to be guarded on the perimeter can kill an offense.
Randle out with a sprained ankle. We'll see how the the Knicks respond without him. Brunson has cooled off a bit, but Barrett finally has shown up after being MIA most of the series, and Quickley hits big shots.
Mitchell Robinson is controlling and dominating this game, and their defense has been stifling.
Knicks advance to the 2nd round for the 1st time in 10 years, 106-95
Other NBA teams have multiple inbounds plays that they can use to get a crucial bucket and some of you are still wishing that the Mavs pushed for the play in?
Bucks relying on Wes Matthews in a must-win game? Yeah they're done!
Coach Bud can't coach, and Giannis can't make free throws. Heat upset the Bucks 128-126. Butler had 42 pts.
Wes Matthews and Jae Crowder aren't winners. Another year trying to latch onto a "contender" and another year going home empty-handed  Big Grin
