    Hawks gonna give the celtics a bully beat down this series I believe. Maybe the celtics will come out strong 2nd half.

    Get the brooms out! (Nah, not yet but soon)

    Big hit for the Celtics if Avery Bradley is out for some time, he injured his hamstring

    Good win for the Cavs today. If the Pistons can s---t like they did today, it should be a great series.

    Something tells me the Pistons can't keep that kind of shooting up, but I could be wrong. Not a good sign when they s---t that well and still don't pull out the win. That was their game to steal.

    What really screwed them was Reggie Jackson in the 4th quarter, as well as Drummond getting benched for Aaron Baynes. I get the fact that it was a basketball decision, I just think the better decision would've been to play Drummond. It's his first playoffs, let him go out and prove something! Baynes was horrible on D late and I think Drummond would've been better. Not much, but better.

    Yeah I had the Heat winning this series, but expected the Hornets to do better than they did that game.

    Rooting for the Heat this playoffs. Loved watching the Heat during the LeBron era, it would be amazing if they met each other in the Conference final.

    I agree they would have better letting Drummond play, and Reggie Jackson needs to be more posied. Regardless they had a great chance, the Cavs played an off game for sure. If the big 3 can keep playing like this (kyrie needs to nail more jumpers tbh) and the bench steps up some I think the Cavs will at least have a chance to challenge the Warriors, or maybe the Spurs if they make it but I doubt that. & @Jakey I think that'll be the matchup for the ECF & I'm sure it'll be awesome, I'm looking forward to that if it happens.

    Was nice to see K-Love and Kyrie k--- it today too. Makes you wonder what last years finals would've been like with a healthy Cavs team.

    I do think with both of them healthy they would have won. But only if Kyrie defended Curry like he did in Game 1. I mean his kneecap was on the verge of breaking and he still blocked Curry off the backboard to save the game and send it to overtime. & Love would have had the ability to do everything that he does. That man can be so valuable to the Cavs when he plays like this.

    Anddddd K Leonard takes DPOY. Draymond finished 2nd and Whiteside 3rd. I have no problem with the order or anything. Ik Whiteside is prolly pissed but he still took a huge leap from being out of the league to being the 3rd best defender in the NBA.

    Another interesting, and rather impressive, note about Whiteside's season...He led the NBA in blocks by nearly 100, and had the best block season by anyone in 8 years. He'll still feel slighted, but he has nothing to be upset about. Now hopefully we can keep him!

    Yea hes probably gonna miss the rest of the series. Also Crowder hasn't been the same since he came back from the high ankle sprain and ditto for Olynyk after the shoulder injury. I would have said the series was going 7 with either the C's or Hawks winning WITH Bradley, without him I'll probably say Hawks in 5 or 6. I think the C's could have easily won Game 1, they had come back from 19 down to take an 83-80 lead when Bradley got hurt with 6:42 left.

    If Stevens pulls this series off it would be hard to not call him a top 5 coach in the league. Unfortunately hes probably gonna be looking at a 1-8 or 2-8 playoff record.
