Thompson has really impressed me this post season. He’s stepped up big time with his toughness and energy. He set the tone. Need more guys to follow his lead.

So true. We were hoping his intensity would pick up in playoffs like the old days when he was with Lebron. He had a monster night.

Gotta give some credit to Grant, he played a good game tonight.
only player to really have a bad game was Kemba.
Amen about Grant. Played some good D on some all-time great scorers

I’m not a Grant fan, at all....but he did have some really big plays in the game. Give credit, where credit is due. Well done.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

1. the win was a bonus. i just loved to see the team play with heart, fight, and smarts for the first time in a long time.

2. never in my life have i questioned the ref’s integrity. i always assumed they’re doing a tough job and they’re not perfect. that changed tonight after the reversal of the durant charge. don’t think i’ve ever seen a more questionable reversal since the replay was introduced. the nba should launch an investigation.

Sorry man...

But Tim Donaghy called Scott foster before almost every game he bet on. And now he's arguably the leagues top ref.

This isn't a conspiracy theory.  It is fact reported by the FBI

This league is ultra corrupt

Google it if you think I'm lying
You’re not. And yet I still watch and want to believe. It’s pathological.

Shout out to TT too, who will be somewhat overlooked given Tatum's performance (and Marcus's as well), but he was a friggen monster in the first half. Did all the dirty work and had to shoulder the load with TL succumbing to the inevitable injury again. That was EXACTLY what we were looking for from him and it couldn't have come at a better time.

You have the Tim Donaghy scandal and you think refs ever have an integrity?

i was making a general statement. there will always be bad eggs like donaghy, as well as bad games by refs with integrity. i stand by my statement.

I expect the Nets to double Tatum more next game

Some of the other guys will need to step up

My favorite moment:

KD gets a fortunate foul driving against Fournier,  who falls down during the play. KD stands over him like the fake tough guy that he is

Grant comes over and gets right in Durants face, protecting Fournier

Evan pulls Grant back, knowing he might kill Durant abd get the Cs barred from the playoffs

The KD-Fournier beef is the most unexpected thing to come out of this series, and I'm here for it.
