So much for the Knicks walking into the ECF.

Anyone think the Heat have no chance against the Boston-Philly winner?

I like Miami's chances against either Philly or Boston, especially Boston. Embiid will be need to be on his game to get them past Miami because Butler and company will shut down Harden.

Boston seems out of their element already so I don't know if they'll get past Philly let alone a rematch of the ECF from last year.

bad start. On the replay that foul on Wiggins looked like a clean block he must have hit lebron down low because he didn't argue. We're getting good looks from 3 just missing, they're getting layups or freethrows every time

4-19 1-10 from 3 in a closeout game?

terrible last shot by Steph but what a recovery from 17 to 5 in like 3 minutes.

Donte changed the game he did what GP2 was doing before he got the 2 fouls

Refs agenda is not helpful. When dubs also suck it’s a disastrous combo.

how does a ref miss that call and give it to the Warriors?

Austin Reaves is a heck of a player. he's just so crafty, great pumpfake and he's tough.

has to be asked how was that foul on Schroder not a flagrant? He grabbed Payton and pulled him down on purpose while flopping, not a basketball play at all. That's why Van Gundy was so mad and then he argued the cal

It’s only flagrant if a warrior does it.

Jordan Poole my god what are you doing? That 3rd foul was the laziest foul I've ever seen, he didn't want to guard LeBron so he fouled him like 3 times until they called it. The 4th foul looked like another flop by Schroder. But on that last play he literally stepped aside to give Reaves a more open shot.

The only good thing I can say Steph and Klay are 6-23 , 3-14 from 3 and they're "only" down 10. Could be much worse.

Honestly Donte and Looney were the only guys who actually played well they really should be down 20.

If I'm Kerr I come out for the 2nd half early and just get after the refs about those calls on the screens by Davis, he's bumping the defender into the guy with the ball and they call the foul on the defender not Davis. He got 2 fouls on Donte and 1 on Poole doing it

Dubs have only won 1 game this post season when they score less than 120
And only lost 1 when they score 120+
