That "Walker, stepback" call from Spero Dedes on the call tonight syncs up well with Dave Pasch's from the 2011 BET against Pitt.
 
Thankfully we have this Mavs/Clips series. The first round is an absolute snoozer across the board otherwise.

It usually is a snooze fest. Best of 5 makes it so much more exciting. That’s the one thing Silver needs to change

Problem with having an 82 game season: You need to reward the teams who did the best during it, otherwise why did you play so many freaking games. So they're constantly trying to find that balance between boring and not a big enough advantage to the best regular season teams. That and 7 game series usually gives between 8 and up to 16 more games of playoff revenue.
 
Great live reveal of the Coach of the Year presentation to Nick Nurse by his high school coach, then delivery of the trophy by Van Fleet and Lowry.

Got a little misty in my living room.

They also want to guarantee each team/city two home games.

So good. Kemba was huge tonight. That Raptors series is going to be fun.

Doing it to Al Horford makes it special
I did like Horford with the Celts - he just looks out of place in Philly

Kobe would be proud. He missed his share of 3's (some airballs) but when the game is on the line (all through the 4th Q and OT, he came up big, bigger, biggest. Not sure I have seen a better playoff game performance. His team down 2-1, Lose this and just pop the bubble,

And welcome to the world of Porzingas. 7' 3" guy will be battling injuries for his entire career.
 
Luka is unreal good. He makes everything.
 
Luka is going to get better which is crazy.

He did it on Kobe's birthday. Somehow feels fitting.

That's the only thing that will stop them from winning multiple championships. If they get a big time wing and Porzingis stays healthy it may be lights out for the rest of the league next season.

Looks like he listened to what you posted Friday night.

That's what's crazy, his three point shooting and ft's are subpar for a superstar with his talents. I argued with posters on here who said he was about at his ceiling even before this season started because he's not elite athletically. Just wait until his three point percentage gets to the high 30's and ft's get to mid 80's.

His footwork, body control, and bball IQ are off the charts.
 
I thought it would take another 20 years before a player reminded me of Lebron. Luka showed up and proved me wrong. Kid can do it all...except be a lockdown defender, but he is only 21.
 
Insane how good Luka is playing in his first ever playoff series. And against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, on an injured ankle? Wow. That shot tonight was legendary.

For how good Luka is playing, Paul George is playing just as bad. Really rough shooting this series.

weren’t there some bouk super fans who compared him to jamal murray
