dont feel bad for him, its his job to make his teammates better, look at warriors game, best team ball ever
Unreal game by Lebron. Thought at this point in his career he would start to sputter, father time and all that. But he can still impose his will. Amazing.
Incredible performance from LeBron. They sat Love and Irving the entire 4th and he still galvanized them to victory. He doesn't just make the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the East an after thought he does it to the 2nd and 3rd best players on his own team. Just amazing.
The Craptors once again proving to be total frauds in their game although the Bucks are a terrific young team who are going to make things difficult for us for years to come.
Giannis's game tonight was incredible. His playoffs performance will probably make Jonathan Isaac a top five pick.
Westbrook is a maxed out player doing his job. He is not out saving children's lives saving the planet. Don't get me wrong, a hell of a player but not a cerebral kind of player, a balls to wall incredible physical player capable of incredible feat. With harden and Durant gone he has risen above. He is the next evolution of Derrick Roses MVP year!
I get why Durant was not all to broken up leaving him. Westbrooks only fault is he does not know how to pace a team cuz he can't pace himself. he need not to perform but can't win the game by yourself. one day he'll complain he don't have enough help and it will be funny.

playoff fugazies...

home is where the heart is. mine is in the north.
the question you should ask the folks here is "are you ready to leave an abusive relationship?"
Westbrook and Harden are great players but I hate this style of play. Too much one on one.
Nba needs to review focus enforce shots and continuations. Harden should not get the calls he gets.
Boy it is nice to have a guy like Joe Johnson when nothing else works on offense.
Blake Griffin out of the remainder of the playoffs with a Broken Toe...

I guess we ain't the only cursed franchise...Is this 3 yrs in a row that either Griffin or Paul has gotten injured in the playoffs?

Have no dog in any of the playoff fights...but I like to see teams healthy when they compete.
Rondo...Blake...Gobert...etc., not right when a team can't be at full strength.
Would seem that someone gave the Raptors a rather convincing motivational speech after that blowout game...
Great win by the Grizzlies. Conley is awesome.
The Nurkic trade or the Gibson/McDermot trade might be the best trade deadline deals for playoff teams in a long time.

Same...I wanted to see a healthy Clips team square up against the Warriors..Either way, the Warriors would have favored to win but wanted to see the Clips last hurrah..
This game was all Nene. Russel Westbrook learning the same lesson all iso players learn. You cant win 1 on 5.
