Apparently the theme of this years playoffs is, some things never change...
Expect the Spurs to win later on, and the Warriors to turn it on and win by 25+

Imagine if Kyrie passed to Baynes for a 3 with the game on the line.
It's Marc Gasol, more like kicking to a wide open Horford with the game on the line, which is a good decision and one Kyrie has made in the past.
I wonder if it was because the Magic had a foul to give. Try and get the shot before the foul.
Yep, can't let yourself take the chance of getting fouled before the shot.

Btw, Steve Clifford deserves a ton of credit for letting his team play that last scoring possession out. A lot of coaches would have called a TO there but that would have given the Raptors a chance to set their defense better.

I have yet to see Ben Simmons play well.

I have heard that he is good; never seen it.
Didn’t he win rookie of the year last year? He must have been good at some point. Frankly I love to see the Sixers lose. Hope they get swept.

He has great stats. I mostly only watch Celtics games. I listen to NBA podcasts and they rave about the guy; I personally have never seen it. 6ers fans should pay me to not watch their games.

Man, there is a lot to like about Jonathan Isaac. Orlando is *good*. I'll probably regret saying this in 20 hours, but the C's got an easier first round draw than the 2 or 3 seeds did.

And, jesus, Ben Simmons is a basket case.

I think they did too, though I think Philly and Toronto still win the series. Orlando was hot as fire from three today and Embiid has to realize Brooklyn won't be able to stop him around the hoop. If he's healthy enough to go, he's gotta get off the perimeter and into the post.

Brooklyn and Orlando are so well coached, and Brooklyn in particular is so deep. I really like Rondae Hollis Jefferson and he didn't even get in today.

Curry sets the NBA playoff record for three pointers made, taking it from Ray Allen. He did it in 91 games. It took Allen 171 games to build up his numbers.
