23 to 2 FTA in favor of GS, tough to win like that if you're the Pels

Yeah looks like it's Warriors' year again.

Can't stop 3 of their Big 4.

It amazes me how even now we manage to under estimate the Warriors. Curry is out and they are still waxing the floor with a very good team that swept their first round series. Every series people convince themselves it will be close, and yet we forget they still have 3 all nba level players on their team. Crazy. It wouldnt shock me if Houston vs GS is wildly underhwelming.

That's if Houston gets past Utah, who soundly beat OKC's Big 3.

But Warriors will crush the Rockets with their Big 4. CP3 may finally get to his first WCF appearance but not enough to outscore their quadruple threat plus AI.

It amazes me how we continue to underrate the referees.

It s not only the Warriors..... We as fans tend to under estimate everything that is not related to our team ....

So, does Lebron go out in the first round of game 7? Pacers better get out to a sizeable lead because I have a feeling the league doesnt want "the king" to go out this early.

Granted, even if they get by the pacers there are only better teams to face such as the raptors next round. and a series against the west in the finals may be a sweep.

so do the pacers have any chance here?
1) on the road in a game 7
2) best player on the planet desperate not to lose a game 7 in the first round at home
3) refs giving special 'lebron' treatment
4) nba wants lebron in nba finals

A pretty tough road for them today....sigh

Pacers shot selection is terrible. Get to the rim and get some easy hoops

LeBron has been 0-3 in this series playing on ABC.

I think he'll end that streak today.

Lebron wills them to the 2nd round. Would require a monumental game from Victor and 2 other Pacers on the road, just don't see that happening.
ok fine

Took Ty Lue 6 games to realise that Thompson is a centre and Love isn't
