Huge eff ups by Chris Paul. Last guy you'd expect that from.

Westbrook is still dumb.

Really sloppy last 3 minutes by both teams. Kind of disappointing.

Westbrook saving Durant again. Theme of these playoffs.

Easier to guard Durant when they are playing lineups with Sefolosha and Perkins. They essentially double Durant the entire time. Still, he hasn't been making the shots he usually does.

The NBA needs to come out and squash referees from doing these make-up calls when they're supposed to be only reviewing possession. Either the change the rule and allow them to review the whole play or make them stop doing this right now. That's two nights in a row it's happened. It cost the Clippers their game and it very well could have done the same last night.

Is there a more worthless player on the Thunder in the last years than Perkins?

Serge is out for the playoffs Perk is gonna have to play 35 min a game. Spurs in 6.

Indy wins today, no worries, Miami wins the series.

I'm still very disappointed the Pacers didn't bow out in the first round.

Isn't this exactly what happened the last 2 years?

No, Miami won both game 1s against the them previously.

I'm seeing this more like the 2011 series against the Bulls, where Chicago had home court, took game 1 and then Miami won 4-1.

Miami outscored Indy 54-38 in the paint. The Heat will be fine.

I think the Pacers will put up a much better fight than the 2011 Bulls did. I would imagine this series goes six games, and could easily be tied 2-2 before the Heat put it away.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Indy is gonna win the series.

The Thunder were trying every lineup combination they could think of last night. They're going to struggle to win more than 1 game without Ibaka.

The Bulls put up a much better fight than 4-1 would indicate.

Miami in 5 or 6.

Still calm now, but good lord it could be a different story 10 hours from now.

Percent chances to win the Finals?

I got:
Spurs: 50%
Heat: 30%
Thunder: 10%
Pacers: 10%

I hope the Heat can win their series. I'd love to see the Spurs crush them in The Finals.

Lol. I think the Spurs would be favored, and would crush them game 1...but that series would go at least 6 I think. The Spurs are definitely better, though, so if the Heat did win it'd be all LeBron.

I really want a rematch in the Finals, but there is a lot of basketball left to be played.

I know a lot of people feel this way, but as die-hard Bulls fan I really don't. Even though games 2-5 were all very close, I can't honestly say I really believed the Bulls would win a single one of those games down the stretch. Well, maybe game five, but even that massive choke job felt inevitable. I think they could have played out all seven games of the series and the Heat would have won six of them.
