Whatever two of the top four east teams didn't make the ECF were always going to consider it a bad season, doesn't mean much has to change. I think Philly are going to keep everyone together and go into next season saying this lineup will be better with a full year of play together. For all we know Kawhi might not even be in the east come next season.

Think I've watched more Sixers games than any other team this year and to be honest I haven't a clue what I'd do with them. So much young talent but I think they're glaringly missing that talent to take them over the edge. It's a tough one.

I don't know, it's a very good season. Definite step forward from last year, nearly forced OT in game seven in a series they were underdogs in. They'll be competitive and pushing for a top 4 seed again next year.

Was lucky enough to see Bucks, Raps and 6ers (and Wizards v cavs

) a few months ago. I said at the time the best player of them was Giannis, but the best team was the Raps. Should be a fun series. Dont mind who wins. I like both.

Shame none of the games are at a reasonable hour for us here.

As if you couldn't love Kawhi Leonard enough.

ButtersSuki

Some shot, and to do it over Embiid too as a buzzer beater? Wow.

Also this will be the first time in NBA history that two brothers face off against each other in the conference finals... and it's happening in both conferences. (Seth vs Steph and Pau vs Marc)

Very weird. Shame Pau is injured so we wont get Gasol on Gasol in the post.

I mean come on

What a game.

What a series.

Kawhi literally hit the Vince shot from 2001. Un ****ing believable. Tremendous Lowry game. Ibaka immense. Gasol played 46 minutes. Just amazing. Bring on the Bucks and Kawhi v Giannis

K.O.Kiki

How TF...

Osmosis Jones

Well, Kawhi joins the very short list of players to have hit a series winning buzzer beater, absolutely unbelievable performance from him in the 4th quarter tonight.

Few fun narratives for the WCF now:

-Dame vs his home town of Oakland, always plays out of his mind and gets a great reception in the Oracle.

-Steph Curry vs Seth Curry

-Last summer KD and CJ got at each other on CJ's podcast when KD told him Portland can't be successful and he should stop worrying about what goes on at the top.

That pod was funny alright - one of the few McCollum pods I’ve listened to as he always drops in some comment about how rich he is, his thread count, his cars, his wine collection or his waterfall etc. - all things to help you connect with your audience.....

It’s the soft half of the draw though to be fair. The two best teams in the West though are/were GS and Houston.

Denver will rue all those missed free throws and some bad offensive decisions. For the team with the best home record in the NBA this season to lose after being up 17 in a Game 7 at home is bad though.

ButtersSuki

Big Game 7 road win for Portland, esp. considering Lillard was poor by his standards and they shot so badly from 3. All things considered that's the best I've see CJ play, and Turner came up clutch for them too.

They might take a game or 2 from GS, but barring another injury I can't see them beating them GS.

Osmosis Jones

Thought our season was over when Nurkic went down, in the WCF now.

LuckyGent88

CJ McCollum coming up clutch here. Outstanding game and great hustle on that block earlier

ButtersSuki

Bad play by Denver there getting blocked, getting the rebound, and then throw up a horrible 3.

ButtersSuki

Hyperextension apparently.

Suspect that's Hoods PCL gone anyway, I think that tends to happen more in instances of extension rather than flexion of the like an ACL.

Yup, the way he was hit from behind/walked into the screen would suggest as much. Or maybe a medial injury.

Lillard having a mare (from a points perspective).

Portland are edging back despite not being able to buy a 3. 3 point game.

Denver are humming. Lillard anonymous.

Joker and Millsap make a nice pairing, limited defensively vs more athletic and dynamic offensive players but watching this thus far it's hard to see how Portland won 3
