What idiot scheduled these two games at the same time?

4 games today and 1 tmrw.

Just cuz of the nfl draft? Idiots

No. There were 4 games scheduled for today but three of those series ended on Tuesday. They can’t change the dates mid series. Has nothing to do with NFL Draft.

The Bucks just crumbled late in the last two games. Not taking anything away from Jimmy Buckets because he has been brilliant but it took both him being so great and the Bucks really breaking down.

How do the Bucks lose? Seems Lopez all around game better than Bam. Giannis a world better than Love. Same for Holiday over Lowry. Middleton better than any SF for Miami. Only Butler far superior at SG. Their bench is not bad.
 
Noticing some tough and intense (but also with some smart playing) guys out there: Hart, Butler, Mitchell Robinson, even a Tillman. Maybe Vanderbilt, Looney. I'm sure I am missing some. Do Blazers have anybody like that?

When your star misses 13 free throws in a game that goes to OT.....that is one huge factor.

Cleveland has some soul searching to do. They lost two play-in games last season and now they win 50 games and have HCA and lose in 5. The last time they won a series without LeBron, Mark Price was their starting PG. Crazy.

Another smaller, offensive minded backcourt that doesn't perform as well in the post-season. And they have big-time defensive help behind them.

Yes....get lucky with the Draft Lottery, select Wemby, then trade for Giannis with whatever you have left except for Sharpe. (Which wouldn't be enough, but it's fun to think about)

If you have the two superstars, there are ways to get good players around them. Look at what the Lakers just did. Remember Boston after they traded for Ray Allen and KG, people said they had nothing left but they found Posey and PJ Brown and House. Also- Rondo turned out to be good.
 
I think the two more experienced teams close out their series at home tonight. I know most in here don't want them to and I definitely am not rooting for either one of them just think that's the way it will go.
 
it's pretty much OT, but today has been absolutely gorgeous weather in the Willamette valley. And it reminds of back in the days of the Drexler teams when Portland was making their playoff runs...there were days like this in May & June on the weekends when right in the middle of the day the Blazers were playing and on the TV. I always watched but at the same time I felt guilty about wasting the weather by sitting inside in front of the tube

lol...that's one advantage to Portland being a lottery team...don't have to worry about wasting a gorgeous spring day. Small favors

Yep. I remember this too. We’d be watching on TV and then my brother and I would run outside and put the game on the radio and play.
 
I can't believe how awful Huerter's been.

I don't think he's a great player by any stretch of things, but the one thing he's supposedly able to do is make open shots. I could see him have an one game on, one game off, but he's been bad the whole series.

If he's even good enough that he doesn't hurt his team, the Kings are probably looking to close out tonight. The way he's played, they probably are going to lose in six.
 
Bane/Jackson 1-10 combined...not a great start.
 
Memphis desperately needed the spacing that Kennard gave them. This series is over.
