Lebron and George duel it out and Lance goes for 16 points in the loss.
Jazz trying to hold off the Clippers without Gobert. That would be an upset if they pull it out.
Favors looks good tonight.
I thought he looked like Favors at age 34.
He's usually much more explosive and mobile. But he was a gamer. I don't know the last time he played 30+ minutes, especially in that type of game. He looked gassed.
[Note: What are the odds Thibs calls a timeout with 10 seconds left in a tie game in that situation instead of Snyder letting them play it out? I say 100%... unless he already had wasted those TOs prematurely...]
you can find multiple rose game winners where Thibs didn't call timeout beforehand

I wouldn't mind seeing Atlanta, Toronto, and the Clippers knocked out in the first round. That would drastically increase our chances at getting a shot at Milsap, Ibaka, Blake, or Deandre

Atlanta has a bunch of FAs and a few of them are gonna cost a bunch of money. Even if we don't get Millsap some of the other guys could be nice additions too and then paying the expensive guys might allow us to get some of the other guys. Morris had a fantastic game. It would be nice to get one of those players that was sorta problematic and they turned out to be nice enough players.

Bulls about to go up 2-0 on Boston. They are looking pretty good. That Rondo guy looks like a totally different player.

It's the TNT Bulls. They play amazing when they are on national television and they suck when they are not. It is kind of amazing

I love watching any player have success who has been panned by the media for years. Go Bulls.

As good as the Clippers have played and as bad as it's gone for the Jazz it's only an 11 point lead of LA at the end of the first quarter.

Hayward really forces some bad shots. I don't see how he's a max player, he really has to work to get a good shot.
The Jazz are really well coached for the most part. The ball doesn't stick with the majority of players on their team. No Gobert makes them a different team, but you never know what the clippers are capable of screwing up.

And the Celtics look terrible. They've been exposed.
Or, more accurately, Ainge has been exposed. DO SOMETHING.
Robin Lopez is dominating that series.

Chris Paul is an enigma. I feel like he could get 50 every game and part of me thinks he should. He always seems to wait too long to take over games.
