In my opinion, the Pacers did not play badly. They had a very slow start in the 1st quarter because Bron came out very aggressive, and for forcing the issue, not necessarily because of Dipo's foul trouble. If you are the Cavs, you should be genuinely worried because you did not outplay the Pacers despite the win and you are going to have a banged up K. Love, worse still may be without him. I am very confident the Pacers can win both games in Indiana. The Pacers are an excellent half court team and they thrive on forcing the ball into the paint and that provides a lot of mismatches for the Cavs. The Cavs are playing a fast-paced offense but they are also playing a lot of isolation plays because they don't want to get sucked into the paint against the lengthier Pacers. "Born Ready" has to play within his ability and stop punishing his team with ridiculous decisions on both ends of the court. As for J. Green, he has to be honest with himself. His performance during both games has been poor to put kindly. 2 Likes |

Don’t know how long this will continue but Minnesota are squeezing Harden. Dude is so off beat and rattled, he is even missing free throws. KAT is playing aggressively but yet to find a rhythm inside the paint. I am assessing the Rockets based on this series. If they fall short of a gentlemanly sweep...at least. Then they are not ready for the NBA finals. |

I will be shocked if Popovic takes a break to mourn his wife. I figured something was off because he has been uncharacteristically cheerful during interviews. I thought it was his way of making peace with my belief that Kawhi would not be with his team next season. Tough situation but Popovic is tougher. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Initially I thought it was a phantom foul on Carmelo but by replay he did push DMitch when he jumped. 97-93 in Utah’s favor. Adams has fouled out. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:52am On Apr 19, 2018 |
kcluv2men: It was. The big 3of OKC were straight up thrash in the 4th. But the key was putting Adams in foul trouble. Donovan waltzed his way into the paint Willy Nilly after that. |

Eruditor: I see you are worried about the Rockets. You are right to be bro. Minnesota is not an easy opponent. Warriors are playing the weakest team in the western playoff. And I believe Rockets match-up well with the Warriors. If anything, they are more ready for warriors than any other team. Their real test will be in the semis if they play against OKC |
