I am loving watching Brooklyn implode. I love how folks had them predicted to win the title. With that roster? With a bunch of spoiled brats who hog the ball, chuck up tough shots, and don't play defense? KD and Kyrie are talented offensive players, but this team just isn't a title team. And I love watching them burn. Celtics look pretty scary good, too. Interesting to see the Bucks look so mediocre in their series; I wonder if they've got enough to get back to the Finals? At this point I assume the Celtics are the Vegas favorites to come out of the East.

Wow

I was watching that game and it looks like Durant and Tatum were just a little too chummy. I know they are friends but during playoffs you have no friends except for your team mates. This is WAR!!!

And this is something we can all relate to

Good for him. It’s about time somebody calls it like it is.

I think the Suns are best equipped to handle “playoff officiating” since they haven’t gotten calls all year.

I am not sure there are 10 better offensive players than KD in the 75 year history of the league. Something is wrong with him and I wouldn't be surprised to hear he needs surgery as soon as the season ends (like Chris last year).

I was always skeptical of him playing, but I hear he's targeting a return for Game 8.

I hear Simmons is experiencing sweeping back pain.

You don't try and incorporate him for the first time ever in an elimination game.

Of course not, which is why these reports have been silly from the start. Always smelled like Young Socialite PR nonsense to me.

I assumed it was more GM nonsense to make it seem like didn't give away all-nba talent for nothing.

Maybe, but Harden wasn't All-NBA this season and he was actually playing. Just seems like Simmons cares more about image and damage control than the Nets.

Nuggets still fighting in the second half of Game 4, but it just feels like the Warriors are going to cut out their hearts in the end.

It’s fun listening to Doris Burke actively root for the Warriors on a national broadcast.

LOL. I'm indifferent about Burke, but the Warriors play beautiful team basketball so is it really a big deal if broadcasters say nice things about them?

By the way, it was nice to see the Suns get a mention in the pregame show as they discussed who’s better between us and the Warriors.

ETA: Oh, boy. Burke just made a comment about Steph Curry’s shoulders and how people are just bouncing off him now. :lol:

I feel bad for Jokic for the lack of a whistle he's gotten in this series.

The Nuggets snapped their 7-game postseason losing streak, but they were sure running on fumes there.

Good for the Nuggets. Now they'll have the pleasure of getting routed in SF.

All that fouling finally caught up with Draymond. He would've been inbounding the ball if he hadn't fouled out. It was Porter instead and it resulted in a stupid pass for a turnover.

I’m glad the Warriors don’t get the sweep. Make ‘em sweat a little. Could have easily been a 2-2 series. Warriors don’t look that dominating. It’s a little early to be crowning their asses.

Suns swept them last year and every game was a blow out. I’m just saying.
