Crazy cuz the Clippers had a great team.

Denver going to win in 6

If Chet and JDub choke it, maybe. Jokic is going to need to be amazeballs in this series. Aaron Gordon is going to need to bully Chet, if possible. Murray is going to need to match 80%+ of Shai's shotmaking, which will be difficult given the level of OKC's defenders.

Yeah I'm saying the cheesy 80s drama is less interesting, less entertaining to me than both of them thinking it might be them. The chip on the shoulder thing is way way way way way past played out.

Your thought that "chip on shoulder" is 80s thing is just a statement about your age. It was not invented in the 80s nor is it less appealing to any younger generations who didnt grow up watching Rocky movies.

You may have gotten tired of it personally because Hollywood spammed you with that concept in that era, but will for revenge is such a basic human sentiment that its gonna exist in media narratives forever.

I've gotten tired of it from this message board specifically.

Ya OKC just doesn't have weakness. Great defense everywhere, great offense everywhere, depth, size, athleticism, length. Only thing they lack is experience I guess. They are loaded currently and have the best warchest of picks in the entire league.

They lack experience. If you shut off Williams you limit to them being very SGA dependent. And while they do have some good shooters, they arent shooter shooters (outside of Joe).

Cleveland is really an 8.5 point favorite over Indy with Garland questionable?

Ya in the post you quoted I said that they lack experience.

I think Indiana is going to give the Cavs a very tough series

Indiana has really impressed me in the playoffs. Great game tonight.

Pacers lackadaisical on offense and Mitchell is pushing the Cavs back.

Waited too long to call timeout as well

Mitchell really impacting the game even though his shot isn't falling. Now I'm starting to ask myself if Jeremiah Fears can do what Mitchell is currently doing--just drive the ball downhill and get the defense backpedalling. Truthfully, our guy Collier could be doing this, I think.
