Thats a better team than I expected

Watched them win 2 in LA without KD

Haven't seen them with him

It used to be that Race Bannon and @TheKobeStopper were the only ones here talking basketball. But now it's just Race, as Kobe is over at the Tug doing his part to undermine Western civilization.

So, so disrespectful to the Blazers takeover and road to the glorious WCF sweep by the Warriors bench players in 2018.

I didn’t think much of the Harden trade when it happened but the more I think about them in the playoffs the more I like them. Obviously Durant needs to be 100% though.

They don’t have good defensive personnel but if they just switch everything in the playoffs they can turn every game into a 1 on 1 fest and they’re just better than everyone at that.

I wouldn’t say they’re the favorite, Kyrie getting switched on to Lebron or Kawhi is a disaster and they have nothing for Embiid. But they’re a legit contender.

Kyrie or Durant will be hurt during the playoffs.

First. Right.

Chris Paul is on the clock

Paul has never made a conference final until now. He had an epic choke with the Clippers against OKC in 2014 or so

Speaking of the Clippers that is why they have never been to a conference final.

Maybe until now. LIPO

That’s piped in right?

RaceBannon

I think New York opened up today

Looks pretty full on TV

TheKobeStopper

I’m not questioning it being full, I’m questioning anyone in NY caring enough to cheer for him.

I'll give a premature shout out to KD for tonight

Bucks don't finish

Green was drafted with KD wasn't he by the Sonics?

Seems like decades ago

Legendary performance by Durant.

I’ve got a lot to say about the Bucks but Durant earned the night.

Tequilla

It’s been a while since there’s been a more mentally fragile team than the Bucks

Harden should have been run off the court in 10 minutes tonight

Looks like George Karl choked in the playoffs again
