When was the last time that both conference finals series ended in a sweep? Has it ever happened?
Go Suns!

Back when they were Divisional Finals in 1957 and best-of-five, it happened, with the Boston Celtics and St. Louis Hawks sweeping their respective series against the Syracuse Nationals and Minneapolis Lakers.

These playoffs have kind of bummed me out. I was hoping for it to be more competitive, but a lot of these series have been sweeps or dull.

The best series was a 1st round series between 2 teams that have been eliminated.

Do the Warriors know there's a game tonight?

The longer the series goes, the more Steph gets to pad his three-point record.

Curry pours in 11 points in the opening quarter, yet the Warriors trail by 23.

Ever since you said that the first time, the Rox have been going to Howard on almost every possession, the Warriors have been playing him straight up, and getting stops. So, naturally, you say it again.

Yay, Bogut picks up his third and Howard goes to the line. You must be thrilled, SDC.

Howard makes one of two. Yippee.

And, moments later, a three-point play opportunity for Howard. Fouling him is sure profitable. :eyeroll:

I think they're more interested in trying to win the game.

Ouch. Curry comes back, things start to fall apart for GSW, Harden gets hot, Curry throws up an air ball.

Howard should have been ejected. He backhanded Bogut in the face. How is that not a flagrant 2?
