He was clutch in the 2nd half. He drilled like 3 big 3's in a row. Luka was no help today though. The announcers made it a point to mention him being ill every possession they weren't glazing LeBron. This was one of the few times LeBron deserved hype.

I’m only privileged to highlights but it was a great game I missed. Orlando played much better at home.
I only caught the 4th. Orlando is a fun team to watch. Paolo Banchero is much better than I thought he'd be at this stage. Franz Wagner is great as well. They're putting up a fight.
This is the most I've enjoyed a Suns-less playoffs. All series are interesting and could go either way, except the 1-8 in each conference. I think knowing the Suns didn't deserve to be in the playoffs helps make it easier to digest. There's been other years where the Suns didn't deserve it either but this year that was the expectation so it's a different perspective.

FYI they also finally updated the injury on Payton, officially right shoulder strain he's 50/50 but expected to at least play. Again the guy locally who has been giving Warrior fan injury updates for years and is always right insists they had to pop Payton's shoulder back in during game 2 after Jalen Green shoved him from behind and he fell and hurt it. He missed a dunk later in the game where reportedly he told the trainers it hurt to lift his right arm up and that's why he missed

Ja Morant is out for today’s game.
And the Grizzlies get swept.
I know they've rallied without Ja before but they don't have a leader or primary scorer to even begin to fight back against the OKC onslaught.
But as usual he does just as many bad plays. He bricked a shot off the side of the backboard. Also the pass he fumbled. There was another play too, I think we he got blocked (which was actually a travel, no surprise).

Hah Jaylen Brown complaining about the physicality. Holiday didn’t play so maybe they missing that extra edge he brings. I swear holiday is so underrated.
Jokic is a whiner
.1 second win IMHO

Considering how badly the Warriors played being down 3 at the half is good. The Rockets missed a ton of FT's that really kept us in it.
I tend to judge games based on which team is getting better shots, even if they're not going in over time they usually do. Houston is getting better shots and easier but as much as he drives me nuts, when Hield was in the game the Warriors seemed to get much better looks. Kuminga is out of control he's -8 again the worst on the team other than Moody. I would start Moody or Payton over Kuminga in the 2nd half. Gotta get Post going

Watching the slow Mo replay of the last shot from the Nuggets - the only reason Jokić got separation enough to throw the ball or was cause he blatantly traveled with no call

Curry is so good it's crazy. They are literally throwing bodies at him over and over, holding him constantly off the ball, no Jimmy to help and he's at 27 in 29 minutes.
If they can get anybody else to score they can win this, otherwise Steph is going to have to go 40 plus by himself

Game within the game the Warriors were complaining all series that Sengun has a hitch in his FT that's a fake and makes everyone come in early. The first miss you could see the players telling the ref to watch for it he fell into the lane he was trying so hard not to hitch, then he missed the 2nd one too. They got in his head
