Boston radio guys are mean! They were down 30, about to go down 3-0, but still acting confident and cocky while making fun of stuff the Heat were doing.
 
At this point I'm rooting for the NW division Nuggets to finally win a ring..Murray and Jokic really deserve this title.
 
Actually really surprised that Boston is getting rekt by the Heat. What a disappointing end to such a hopeful season for them.

James played one 82 game season. Stockton played sixteen 82 game seasons plus a full 50 game lockout season.

I'm just going to say John Stockton was a great player that was indeed very durable. Don't want to diminish his career in any way.
I'm going to also say yes Lebron is showing signs of getting older and that doesn't diminish his accomplishments either in any way.
Then I'll just leave it at that.

Thanks.
Still, the point remains the same. Butler at 30, Jokic at 41......players are out there besides the lottery.

Yeah, of course the #3 pick or any lottery pick is super valuable.

But all first round picks, even late ones could hit an amazing starter. Blazers shouldn't give up future firsts for average starting level old veterans, and should highly value some picks coming back in trades even if they may be mid or late picks.
 
Sweep Stats!

Denver has never swept a team but they’ve been swept 6 times.

Blazers have swept 4 times, the last being a 3-0 sweep of the Suns in 1999. Blazers have been swept 8 times.

The Lakers have completed a record 31 sweeps (no other team is close) but have been swept 10 times (the record is 11, Detroit).
 
Announcers openly rooting for LeBron and Lakers. KCP hit a 3 and was fouled. The lead announcer said nothing, If LeBron did the same thing, he would’ve gone ballistic.

Wow. LeBron should’ve been ejected for that. Anyone else would’ve been. Can you imagine Sheed or Artest getting away with that?

Looked like Gordon was locking LeBrons right arm and wouldn't let go. Never seen LeBron play dirty, seems like he would have a legit reason at year 20

LeBron been awesome this half.

But he's been gassed in most playoff games for the 4th quarter this year.

I wouldn't be shocked if he has trouble in the 4th and Denver has a big run. They just need to stay close.
 
Amazing how all this playoff coaches getting fired while our tank coach still has a job.
 
This game sure turned quickly. Nuggets are just better and looking like they are more disciplined.

He pushed Gordon and elbowed him in the neck. And the refs didn’t even look at replay.

Yes that's the play I commented on. It looked like Gordon was locking LeBrons right arm and pulling him closer while LeBron was pushing his elbow into Gordon's neck.

Staying close is not what the Lakers need. They’re down 0-3. They needed a statement win.

Why not? He was asked to tank so he did it. Putting in John Butler Jr in as PG was a great adjustment. We almost won that game.

Having his arm locked doesn’t excuse LeBron. They should’ve at least looked at it.
