That third quarter as a disaster.

Fortunate. It was idiotic to give the ball to Smart at the end there. I knew he'd miss that first free throw. At least I can sleep tonight. I really thought they we're gonna blow it.

I don't have any expectations for them to beat Clevland I just wanted them to stop Philly. At least this year.

Warriors over Rockets in 6

Cavs over Celtics in 6

(Though I would not be surprised if the Celtics won the series.)

Agreed on all accounts.

A few weeks ago I would have said the Celtics have a chance but LeBron's been so next level and beyond lately it's pretty hard to imagine. I just want them to put up a good fight. I wish Kyrie were healthy...regardless of the outcome it would have been a great story line.

All season long I've felt like the Warriors have been holding back, both in effort and with certain plays/strategies for this series. I look for them to go to the Durant/Curry pick and roll quite a bit if times get tough.

Steve is going to get hurt. Maybe Durant too. Hope Draymond can step up in their absence.

Don't forget about Chris Paul too. He usually hurts a pinky or eye socket or shin this time of year too.

He'll be fine.

What game do you think Harden will have 9 turnovers? I'm guessing Game 4.

None of you know what you’re talking about. Rockets in 7.

I really think both series could go either way, but I've been saying Warriors in 6 all year and I haven't seen enough from Houston this postseason to make me change my mind. Houston's switching defense will be tested against an offense that is last in the league in on-ball pick and rolls.

Capella has shown he can stay on the floor by not being vulnerable to small ball douche lineups. Can't wait until his first swat on Steve.

Yup. Got to keep the Finals in June I guess.
