Totally forgot about Simmons return to Philly tonight even if it was just sitting on the bench.

Klay Thompson and Draymond Green look like two guys playing at the Y.

Lakers down 20 points with 6 minutes left. If no comeback they are officially done for the season. That's a shame...

I was just coming post that this game is big for 2 reasons. LA is done and Phoenix sets a new franchise record for wins in a season. And of course with the season hanging the balance Lebron sits.

The best thing about the playoffs this year? Not hearing Lebron’s name mentioned every 5 seconds on ESPN.

Oh, they'll still talk about him.

Nothing but trade rumors et al.

This is great!

Glad LeBron got served some humble pie this season. Can't wait to see the drama unfold as he asks the front office to make his next dream team happen. Russ Westbrook surely will be the fall guy if he isn't already. Reminds me a bit of the Lakers when they had Shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone, and Gary Payton and they underachieved. What looks good on paper doesn't always mean it works out when you have those egos and skills on the floor at the same time.

I'm glad the Lakers are out. I have zero love for that organization. Time is just catching up with LeBron. His production is still great, but it's clear his body can't handle the wear and tear anymore. And this year's team was so mismatched, everything needed to go perfectly if they were going to make any noise, and it just did not happen.

Some of the East Match-ups are set:

3. Milwaukee vs. 6. Chicago

4. Philadelphia vs. 5. Toronto

Will "probably" be:

2. Boston vs. 7. Brooklyn

1. Miami vs. Cleveland/Atlanta/Charlotte (guessing ends up Atlanta)

 

[CloneGuy8]

Lol, poor Boston.

Chicago is so screwed. Was hoping for Milwaukee Brooklyn first round

Couple of Western Conf. match-ups set:

3. Golden State vs. 6 Denver

4. Dallas vs. 5. Utah

Warriors over Nuggets as long as Curry plays

Jazz over Mavs

Bucks over Bulls

76ers over Raptors

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Jazz vs Mavs I think could be as good as Jazz vs Nuggets was in the bubble.
