That would sink their odds of coming back in this series, which is already a herculean task.

Tonight was Tatum's 121st NBA playoff game. He has never had a season without being in the playoffs going back to his rookie year. That's a lot of miles put on the tires.

Yeah just turned on the game to see them showing the replay of someone getting hurt and there were so many bodies that ended up on the floor I didn't know who it was. I hope that's not the injury but it doesn't look good.

It also shows the importance of taking advantage of those opportunities when presented. Boston...

- made it past 1st rd in 8 of past 9 years
- 4 losses in Conf Finals
- 1 loss in NBA Finals
- 1 title

If they can make it back to a championship level, they'll have to do it with a lot of different pieces than they've had... and a bit of good luck.

Cleveland goes down. I really thought they were the scariest team out there with their combination of size and defense up front and shot creators in the backcourt.

And how about Indiana? Similar to the Wolves they had a good, not great, regular season but just got better as time went on without making any trades or major roster moves. I could see them giving the Knicks a great series.

Also, who is Indiana's top NBA 5 player? Do they even have a top 10 guy? Tyrese Halliburton is one hell of a player, but he was their 3rd leading scorer at 16 PPG in the playoffs and their leading scorer was Pascal Siakim at 19 PPG. They are a superstar-less Conference Finalist.
