That may be the only way to stop Curry!

You have to have great body control to NOT have hit Curry on that.

Much better than the 1st round. Every series is still up in the air with no clear cut favorites.

Wow...look at the championship droughts for the remaining 8 teams in the playoffs.

Cavs, Clips, Memphis - Never won
Hawks - 57 years
GS - 40 years.
Wizards - 38 years
Houston - 20 years
Bulls - 17 years

Only 3 of 8 have won a championship since Tim Duncan was born.

Nice to see some new blood in the hunt.

Last time each team played at least 3 series in a single postseason:

Grizzlies - 2013
Bulls - 2011
Cavaliers - 2009
Rockets - 1997
Wizards - 1979
Warriors - 1976
Hawks - Never
Clippers - Never

Its a good series though, maybe as good as cavs bulls. But, Nene and Gortat will out bang Millsap and Al..both are a bit undersized. And Teague cant keep up with Wall at the end of the day, let alone him and Beal.
The Wiz does have more height in their front court but I do think that ATL and WAS are even because I feel that Milsap and Horford can drive on Nene and Gortat regularly....but it depends on if the jumper's falling. Don't forget, Milsap is a respectable 3 point shooter too.

Youre right that they are the more skilled players, Id think. But you cant teach size.

Game 3 should be fun.
Interesting. So, you would just let Al and Paul hit open J's? Korver really hasn't been carrying the Hawks in the playoffs, DeMare Carroll has been consistent. The Hawks lost a double digit lead in the first game and shot like 16% in the 4th Q....only losing by 6. I can see ATL winning in 6.

Cavs running the Bulls out of the gym early in Game 1; Shumpert is playing with a tremendous amount of confidence. If Cleveland can survive these first two games 1-1 and get Smith back for Game 3, I think Chicago is in trouble.

What do the Rockets need tonight?

Less turnovers, less missed free throws, need Harden to impose his will.

Sit Capela, use Dorsey who is bigger and bulkier inside and has at least been around the block.

Hopefully they watched Memphis get into the shirts of GSW last night.

Just give a better focused effort.

The game is too long for that sentiment.
