There's nothing wrong with a man feeling happy when he accomplishes a goal. Just be happy for him.

Rooting for my hometown team Los Angeles (Clippers) to beat OKC Thunder.

Then rooting for Portland Trail Blazers to beat LA Clippers in the West Finals

Rooting for the thunder because I love Durant and Ibaka

[Rhyso]

Am I the only Celtic fan rolling their eyes at Doc's antics? He was never this excited even after winning a championship with us. I feel like they need a reminder that every penny they earn going forward is still going in Donald Sterlings pocket so this isnt exactly a triumph over racism. Tell me I'm not the only one feeling this way...

I bet Doc knew how important winning the series was for his team. If the Clippers lose in the first round, more attention goes back to the Sterling fiasco and players may walk from the team next season (and probably Doc himself too). The only way he has a contender again next year is to win big this season and give players a reason to stay.

Anybody but the Clippers

After getting beaten up by the Grizz for 7 games, the Thunder are going to feel very free against the Clippers.

I think the OKC are going to win this series fairly convincingly.  The Clips just don't have the kind of wing defenders to give KD trouble, and they don't have the depth at the big positions to keep OKC from going small and running.

Definitely rooting for the Thunder over the Clippers.

Smart man.

Grizzlies were the better team and should of won the series. Sad Z-bo got suspended and Allen was not right for Game 7.

[Endless Paradise]

Grizzlies had their chance to win in Game 6 in Memphis and instead they lost by 20. Them's the breaks.

PIERCE!

Yesterday, the better team won the series in all 3 games.  I didn't lose faith in OKC or IND when they went down 2-3, and same thing with BKN.

I think Brooklyn wins this game even without the home-court advantage that OKC/IND/LAC had.

AND.... I think Dallas becomes the 4th team to come back from 2-3 (also away).

I hope Brooklyn take this game I don't want to see a Raptors/Heat second round don't think the Raptors match up well with miami.

I hope Brooklyn take this game I don't want to see a Raptors/Heat second round don't think the Raptors match up well with miami.

I want to see Toronto win because I like their team and do not like watching the Nets play ... but I agree, I think Toronto would do really badly against Miami. I don't think either team (Brooklyn, Toronto) has a chance at knocking Miami out but at least Brooklyn would push Miami a bit.

[SparzWizard]

This game reminds me of Game 7 2012, Boston vs Miami.

I think Toronto will surge a comeback in the second half...

[SparzWizard]

I saw that Paul Pierce iso coming...Celtic fans know that lol.
