2 game 7's this weekend. Crazy!!

If I could only have one, I'd sacrifice the B's because the C's have a legit shot.

[King Postwhore]

I dint think like that. They gave to earn it. Up to them.

[TAC]

Er...

[King Postwhore]

Sacrifice?  What is this bullshit?  Fucking want both to win.

[TAC]

[jingle.boy]

Sacrifice?  What is this bullshit?  Fucking want both to win.

With any luck, they'll both lose.   

ABB... Anyone But Boston.

Luv you guys.  Hate your teams.

[King Postwhore]

Totally get that but nee ner, nee ner.  Lol

[T-ski]

Tatum got help, Giannis didn’t.

Game 7’s are only fun when your team isn’t involved. May the best team win.

[King Postwhore]

Yeah, completely agree.  He seems to be on an island.   No secondary scoring with consistency.

So much this. Like Joe said, we have two of them this weekend.

[TAC]

OK Sports Gods. We burned the Bruins at the stake for you.

[Azyiu]

Someone is going fishing after tonight, and I surely hope it ain't the Bucks nor the Suns.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I don't know, CP3 sometimes looks like a bass on a line. 

[KevShmev]

I don't know how so many root for Chris Paul.  He is a flopper, a dirty player, a dick, and an all-around asshole (based on everything I have seen and read about him).

[Azyiu]

I hear you, and I used to hate him too. Then again, he has been behaving rather professionally since he got traded to OKC. Sure, he still whines and flops, but those acts are not as bad as when he was younger. Perhaps he finally learned he can't get far by flopping.

[Azyiu]

I know it is just the start of 4th qtr, but the Bucks look so out of sync on offense, and couldn't make any shot; while the C's just keep making shots left and right... I think it is likely game over for the Bucks.

[King Postwhore]

The first quarter had me worried but it looked like the Bucks were just worn down.  They missed Middleton for his points but also, his minutes.

[T-ski]

Hard to win when you can’t shoot. Celtics outscored the Bucks by 159 points on three pointers during the series.  Amazing it went seven games.

[T-ski]

We stunk, but we didn’t stink as much as the Suns.

[TAC]

*checks score*

Oh shit. 75-35?? WTF??

[KevShmev]

What a satisfying game to watch.

The Suns literally quit in the first half of that game. Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole than Chris Paul than to see the team he leads quit in a home Game 7.

Luka is unreal. Giannis is the best player in the league, but he may not hold that title for much longer, as Luka is gunning for it.

Maybe offensively but Luka will never be close to the defender Giannis is.

[Azyiu]

It is 4:39 am here, and I just woke up for a toilet break... found out what happened in Phoenix... man, I am glad I wasn't watching it live... 27 points at the half... as a team?! This was game 7, man! That was as crappy a performance as us in 2006 first round game 7 vs the Suns.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I can't believe what I just watched last night, and this definitely says it all.

Very true.

What's really funny is the final score was much closer than the game actual was (and the Mavs won by 33!).

Dallas was up 30 at half, and my thought was, "Okay, Phoenix will come out and make a run to start the 3rd Q and we will see if that gives them any chance to come back," but the opposite happened. Dallas continued thrashing them and were up by 40 in the blink of an eye.  Luka didn't play a second of the 4th quarter because he didn't need to.  I can't recall in any sport seeing a team take that much of a beating in a home in a Game 7.

[hunnus2000]

As a Mavs fan I too was shocked at what I was watching. Maybe it's just me but I but I saw a whole lot of give up on the Suns side of the house.

Only 10 points in the second quarter?

[LithoJazzoSphere]

The Suns starters had 1 (Paul), 2 (Booker), 3 (Ayton), 4 (Bridges), and 5 (Crowder) points at the half.  That hasn't happened to a team in over 20 years.  Wow. 

[TheOutlawXanadu]

It's not rational but for some reason Devin Booker annoys me about as much as anyone in the league. I think it's because he has that style of game where he can't really get to the rim, but instead just shoots a bunch of wobbly jump shots, which of course leads to fouls because he's crashing into to people or landing all over the place. It's that style of game that feels a bit doomed in the playoffs once you run into a good defense.

CP3/Booker are definitely contenders if not the best guard duo in the NBA right now.

I think perhaps an amendment should be made to the latter quote! 

[Azyiu]

Fun news day already...

Rondo is alleged to have pulled a gun at the mother of their 2 kids. No arrest yet, but the judge has granted her protective order.

Meanwhile, even Dame joins in to slam Beverley for talking bad about CP3.

[Dublagent66]

LOL Suns.  They're like the Dallas Cowboys of basketball.  They go up 2-0 and think the rest will be smooth cruising.  Pretty ironic they got owned by a Dallas team.

[TAC]

That game was pathetic. Fucking Suns??

It's so easy to overreact to an awful game or series, and it's certainly been fun in the moment to enjoy this disastrous debacle (unless you're a Suns fan).  But until the playoffs and arguably even after they were up 2-0, it still seemed like a pretty warranted take.  And there's a world in which they eat an ocean of crow, lick their wounds, and come back strong again next year.  But it's going to be a K2-sized mountain to climb to do it, so I'm not counting on it.

Yeah, he thinks he's the next Kobe, but nope, he sure ain't Kobe.  K-Mart Kobe has been making the rounds, which is probably disrespectful to K-Mart.

Meanwhile, even Dame joins in to slam Beverley for talking bad about CP3.

I suspect a lot of players think what Beverley said, but since Paul used to be president of the player's union and likely still has a lot of power, many want to stay on his good side off the court, so they keep mostly quiet.  A guy like Beverley, though, just doesn't give a crap.
