Been disappointed with the Pacers this series. Warren has been good but not great this series, same with Oladipo. Sabonis getting injured definitely hurt them but I expected a better fight. Unless they rally in the 4th, Miami will be the 3rd East team to sweep.

Trading doncic was the dumbest move possibly in nba history

Doncic is still very young. Can you imagine what he will look like in his prime

And how bout those Kings passing up on Luka when during that time it was just a toss up between Deandre and Doncic for the number 1 pick...what a loser of a franchise them Kings are.

Yeah, that one was a shocker. Considering the Mavs traded Dennis Smith Jr, DJ and a couple of protected 1st rounders for Kristaps, imagine what the Kings could have got for DeAaron Fox!

3 sweeps and one 4-1 demonstrated lack of depth in East. Basically 4 good teams and the test blah.

Unless Dame steps up this could be a blow out. I wonder how much Dame is restricted by his dislocated finger

Was just about to post something about that .

OK, the 24/8 Kobe thing gets a little silly.  But really?  First off it’s totally impossible that the Lakers would be playing on 8/24 in a normal year.  But secondly, how many games does a team go up 24-8?
Yup

I still cannot get over how the Mavs acquired both Luka and Kristaps in deals that can best be described as grand larceny.

Those were two very 'Ainge-like' trades if there ever were.

Two crazy lopsided trades that were really bad the day they were made. The Knicks got nothing for Zinger.

Maybe the Memphis Grizzlies or Phoenix Suns would've given the Lakers some challenge.

They basically look like the Celtics from last year. Win Game 1 in a big win on the road, and then proceed to get swept.

The Knicks are by far the worst run franchise in the NBA, and yet I'm still scratching my head at how they screwed up the only good thing they had gotten in the past 10+ years in Porzingis.

Didn't like that flagrant call against Whiteside.  Big men are taught to keep the ball high.  That's a basketball play, not a hostile act. 

Thought they got that one wrong.
