OT: NBA Quarterfinals

That's all on Chris Paul, you are up 19 on your home court to close out the series and you let a 34 point swing happen to close out the game. Maybe not all on Paul but 90% of it is, he's your veteran superstar point guard, it makes zero sense that he couldn't stem the tide.

That's one of the craziest turnarounds I've ever seen in a basketball game. This was over, multiple times.

You can't marry a self-implosion and a firestorm any more succinctly than that. 100-88 LA with seven and a half minutes left, and then...29-4 Houston run. Blake Griffin went from looking like the best player on the planet to somebody who couldn't get a shot off.

Josh Smith...these are the games that keep him in business. Pair him with Jason Terry and Corey Brewer and the Rockets are like the irrational confidence all-stars. I don't know whether it's crazier that I knew he was going to take that step-back three or that I wasn't surprised when it went in.

As someone on /r/NBA said, Josh Smith played like Josh Smith thinks Josh Smith plays.

Josh Smith, Brewer and Terry the irrational confidence all-stars. That's a freaking funny line because it's so true.

I'm so impressed with John Wall.

 

[Dynasty]

Anyone see this Hawks-Wizards finish? That would have been an all-time great shot if it counted.

 

[D-NICE]

The Truth was too late.

 

[Scoe]

The Truth was too late.

Good Ray Allen he is not.

 

[Scoe]

Check out the shot Curry just made from 3/4 court.

 

[UConn990411]

Good Ray Allen he is not.

Yeah, he's better.

 

[Scoe]

Yeah, he's better.

Then why didn't he make the shot and Ray made the shot back in 2012.
