The Clippers are seriously the poster children for front runners.

Up 20, you'll see a sad sack like Crawford hit ridiculous 3 after 3. Under pressure? The guy has a deer in headlights look. Their whole team is like that.


Which is probably why it was so satisfying watching them choke this bad. They started showboating and stopped playing defense, and their intensity dropped. They basically ran prevent D the entire fourth quarter, hoping for the clock to run out. Sadly, for them 12 minutes is a long time in an NBA game, and enough time for the Rockets climb back from a 19 point deficit.

Wasn't the offense. They give up 25 points in the fourth, they win.

This is either the best or worst conference finals I've seen. No team is dominant, but anyone of them have a chance to win. Go Hawks.

hawks will likely lose in 4 or 5. if they get lucky, 6 games.

they are overrated and struggled for the majority of their first 2 rounds against average teams from the east.

it sucks. if gasol didnt get hurt, the bulls would have beaten cle.

Hawks are not a worthy conference final team.

East is pathetic.

Say what you want about that Spurs1st round/ Clipper 2nd-round choke job/Wheelchair Pierce mouthing off, those were probably the best series of the postseason. This conference finals however...

Hope your wrong. But your probably right.
Lebron has been a beast this postseason. There's no denying that.

Important win for GS tonight.
Kyrie going down sealed the finals for GS.

Jon Barry reportedly heard someone within the Cavs organization say that they feel Kyrie Irving (knee) will not play again in the Finals.
"I heard something from a Cavalier person – and this is not documented – but they feel like he’s done for the series," said Barry in an interview with Dan Patrick. The injury really didn't look good at all, but we'll be waiting for an official diagnosis from Cleveland's side before making such a bold statement. Irving is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday, so we should have an official ruling on Irving's status for Sunday's Game 2 soon. Stay tuned.

That would suck if true. Was hoping this would be a competitive finals.

That was such an idiotic move for Blatt to play Irving in Game 4 vs the Hawks with Cleveland up 3-0.

That book looks like a romance story about LeBJ.

The fact that the East is so sadly weak that the Cavs can walk through it is only half the story.

The other half is watching GS win a ring.

LeBron gets to win 2 titles in 5 trips. Fair or not, he won't go down as the GOAT because he had 2 hall of fame player with him in Miami and he never won a ring without those two players.

True story bro!

I called GS in 5 when Irving went down.
We'll see if they can get it done in 6.

Damage control for their golden boy. It's funny yet sickening at the same time.

@HPbasketball: Emmanuel Mudiay 0-for-2 with three turnovers and a -10 in 6:29. I’m holding onto this for when he’s an All-Star.

Lin looked real good in his Hornets debut. When he looks over at the bench, he's probably relieved Byron isn't there.
