Yup! But how come I have visions of Okafor at the line when Howard is at the line?!? ;-)

You aren't the only one but are they visions or nightmares? Lol

There is some defense played in this game! That block by Klay on Harden Q would love. :)

I know I might be the only one on here but I do not like the Warriors at all and I am rooting for the Rockets.

Honestly I don't care for any of the remaining teams. The Hawks were so good right around the All-Star break that I was really pulling for them, now they aren't playing that same brand of beautiful basketball they are just kind of blah. The Warriors are a super-powered speed killing machine that is almost unfair, they are like the death star of basketball teams, so I want to see them lose out of spite. The Bearded One just annoys me, he has 0 personality apart from his stupid beard and stirring the pot thing, plus he is a Taco Bell breakfast defector so you know there is something off about that guy. The Cavs are the unfortunate side effect of the Love trade. I am really happy we got Wiggins but I don't want to see the Cavs and Love win (even if he is out). Also I don't like Dellevadova, J.R., or Perkins. I am a big Lebron fan so I suppose if he can bring a title to his home town and build his legacy even higher than go Lebron.

So in the end I'll watch the Finals but my mind will always be on that #1!

I don't know if it is just me, but I still enjoy the games (like the one tonight) but since the Spurs got eliminated I have not been super happy to watch the games. This gets me worried when the Spurs big 3 retire because it just feels like something is missing. It probably is just me, but I am not loving the playoffs and the teams in it and looking at the teams these will be the teams for awhile

Good point about Taco Bell Breakfast that stuff is terrible and I am not picky.

I felt/feel the same way about the Spurs not being there. I think they will come back for another year though.

It also could be the loss of Bill Simmons, he might be a douche sometimes but he really makes my NBA experience so much better with his podcasts and columns

I have felt the same way about the playoffs this year. I think it's a combination of no OKC, San Antonio, and no team to hate like the Heat.

I'm a bit miffed about Simmons forced radio silence after the ESPN split. I would really love to hear his take on the draft lottery and prospect evaluations not to mention general playoff take
