2019 NBA Playoffs

[Indy]

Harden only played 34 minutes last night. I will be surprised if it doesn't go 7 games.

I thought the Rockets lost that game with their focus set on the refs after the game before. It was like when the Suns lost their focus on the Spurs back in the day and allowed their angst to be on how they got screwed by the refs or the league. I guess I wasn't surprised that they lost this game, but I also feel like they will play much better in Houston coming up. I don't know if it will go 7 games, but this series is closer than the results of the last 2 games, imo.

Which were both close. There was a wide open 3 that would have cut it to 1 with less than a couple minutes left.

You're right, it wouldn't have surprised me all that much to see Houston with the 2-0 lead coming out of Oakland. But, it's GS with the 2-0 lead and what seems like a huge lead at the moment. Big enough that Marty is predicting a 4-1 series win.

In other news, water is wet.

[Split T]

Bucks seem to be taking control of series...could get Brogdon back for game 4. Could be huge!

32/13/8/3/2 from Giannis....I think he’s figured out Boston

[Shabazz]

I’m pulling for Toronto, but would love Milwaukee to win the title as well.

[Split T]

Toronto hasn’t looked as good as I thought. They’re in trouble with Philly

[JeremyG]

Toronto is never good in the playoffs.

[Democritus]

C'mon Raptors, give us Monty ASAP.

[JeremyG]

We are 8.4 seconds away from the first quadruple-overtime playoff game since 1953!

4 OTs, crazy long game. My wife is wondering when I'm coming to bed.

I got home late tonight and just finished watching the game. I had only added an hour to my broadcast so it ran out with 1:30 left in the 4th OT. Had to go to my NBA LP app to watch the end. Wow. That game could decide the series. Denver now has to win game 4.

[Hermen]

Jokic rested for 3 minutes total. That's very little even for a game without OT, I hope he's able to recover.

[O_Gardino]

Toronto is frustrating to watch, because they are a better built team in terms of player fit and skillset. But Philly just has more talented starters. I'd love for Siakam to take over the series, but it's not going to happen.

Toronto was supposed to have the better bench in this series, but that has not the case so far.

I thought for sure the ECF would be Milwaukee/Toronto. But almost nobody has shown up for the Raptors. Gasol hasn't given them what they need and Lowry is performing his annual postseason choke job. I feel bad for the franchise because this lackluster playoff performance is probably guaranteeing that Kawhi will leave. If they had gone to the Finals, say, wouldn't he have to at least consider staying and being part of a perennial Finals team? But now with nobody really stepping up rather than a rookie, I don't see any chance that he stays. Poor Raps. In the long run they probably should have just kept DeMar who loved the city and wanted to retire a Raptor.
