Don't forget Boston was without two of its best players, Irving and Hayward, due to injury.
True, and the Cavs were without their second best player and the roster was cobbled together before the season, blown up and reset in February. Yet somehow they are still a billion dollars over the luxury tax cap.
Not sure where Hayward fits with this team when he comes back but the Celts will be stacked for years.

These guys are going to be very good next year. They will probably lose Smart to free agency but the rest are coming back. The window could be small because it will be difficult to keep all these stars happy financially.

The Rockets are going to lose this game. They’ve missed all their 3s in the 3rd and that’s been about 90% of their shots.

Plenty of time left for Houston. They need to settle down and run some offense. Get the 3 off the pass not the dribble. Next 2 minutes are critical for them.

Houston en route to some sort of conference finals record for second-half futility.

That's 62 points over the last 1.75 second halves.

Your shots aren't falling and you're in the bonus. You have to take it to the rack and take advantage of the clock stoppage.

I just don't think of durant the same now. There's never been a team assembled better than the warriors. He ruined it for me. Never has anyone tipped the scales like this.

No chance it was ever going to be anything other then Cavs/Warriors.
I'm pretty sure neither Cleveland or Golden State saw it that way after G5.

I hate this brand of basketball. Just keep jacking up 3’s. Harden is a joke. When he’s hot he is great but when his shot is off he contributes nothing. He’s the fifth best player on the floor and will win MVP. Change his name to James Haren - no D.

It's D'Antoni ball. Never cared for the guy.

Agreed. Front runner basketball. No adjustments, no ability to find a way to score when your outside shot isn’t falling. Old school euro league garbage.

Never f*cking heard of the concept of defense either. That's not championships caliber coaching to me.

How many years do the warriors get to luck out. Last year kwai Leonard gets hurt when the spurs were giving them the business. The championship before that, irving and love were injured. And now Chris Paul gets injured game 5 when the rockets have them on the ropes.
