Shaq and Chuck both like the Lakers tomorrow? Sounds good to me.

Well we still haven’t seen a game this year with Book and Durant on the court where they both cared about the game for more than 30 minutes. On one hand they haven’t really lost any games where they were both healthy and playing, on the other hand we haven’t played any real teams in those games either. Only quality wins would be against the warriors.

Picking 3 of 4 road teams is just plain stupid.

And the road team he didn’t pick is the one that won

Those single-elimination games should be played on neutral arena. That's basic.

The semi-finals and finals are, but higher seeds got home court for the quarter finals

I think we'll see the neutral site atmosphere to be pretty flat with exception to Lakers games because there are a ton of fans in Vegas.

The Pacers v. Bucks game should be high in quality, but the atmosphere will probably be pretty meh with an arena of mostly indifferent fans.

I started watching the Pacers/Bucks game and it sounds like it’s in the bubble to start. Very little crowd interaction.

I was expecting the crowd to be subpar, but that building is silent. It's not a good look and really takes away from the momentum the IST built up in the last handful of games.

I'm sure the next game will be a little bit more lively.

It’s hard when it’s a 3pm local start time on a Thursday with two teams with zero ties to the location. Lakers-Pels will have a much better crowd.

Probably something to fix for next year. Not sure how though if you plan to play both semi-final games on the same day and on the same court. Does Vegas have two nba level arenas?

Lebron is playing really well for the Lakers (may get a passing mention on Sportscenter?). CJ McCollum is -21 in 17 first-half minutes - oof
