Re: 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread
27 pts down at Half, what do you talk about in the locker room?
"Anyone know a good place for dinner?"
I'm sure they will close the gap as the Warriors might just go into cruise control in the second half but I don't see them coming all the way back.

Re: 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread
Wow Harden didn't shoot a single foul shot? He's toast if he's not getting the calls.
And how did the Hawks only win by one point? I couldn't take the commentating anymore and shut it off in the third but the Celtics couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

Re: 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread
Frustrating to see the Celtics fight back from that far down and then lose it on a few key possessions. Stealing game 1 would've been huge.

Games have been a little more interesting tonight. 
Curious to see how the Warriors look without Curry (for an entire game
)

Wow, that was close, think it's good.
Edit: Ooh, maybe not, lights are on with his hands on ball, Dallas wins.
Both games so far swing tonight.

GS so far looking like they would not have too much trouble sweeping the Rockets even without Curry. Don't think they could get away with that in R2 though.

Re: 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread
The Rockets almost threw the game away last night on their last 2 inbounds. The last inbound was close to being a steal that would have resulted in a wide open layup...
