You have Poole putting up Durant type numbers that is a scary group. They keep playing like that I don't see any team stopping them in the west.

Middleton sprained his mcl. No idea how long he’s out for.

Would love to see Chicago advance, and really they are capable of winning any game, because their star duo can be unstoppable at times.

Considering how easily Brooklyn were beating Boston for most of Game 2, there is a good chance Brooklyn will tie the series at 2-2.
Boston have a very loud and energetic crowd that allowed them to win the first 2 games, which could have easily gone to the Nets.
As the saying goes, the series doesn't start until somebody wins on the road.... although that would mean the series never starts if everybody wins their home games for the entire series.

The Nets are playing the hottest team in the league. If they can get past Boston it may get a little easier after that


That being said they played through Celtics tough 2 times on the road. kd had 2 bad games and kyrie 1. My guess is kd will have 2 good games at home.

I'd rather be up 2-0 and looking to steal one of the next two road games. All that matters is the final score.

I’m glad the bulls avoided the sweep. They’ve had some bad luck this year but have shown a lot of heart at the same time. If they can swap Lavigne for some unhappy star elsewhere this team might have a shot at the ECF next year (if healthy).

I don't get the Brooklyn love. You're certainly not alone. Pundits on ESPN keep leading me to believe the Nets are about to show up. Maybe I will be proven wrong. I just dont see them coming back to win tis series. I called them as getting beat in the first round before the season even ended

Meanwhile, Memphis came back out of nowhere against the Timberwolves tonight.

Amazing comeback by Memphis. I was watching the score on the screen of the Dallas / Utah game and Dallas getting off to a great start in Utah. I assumed Luka was back since it was hinted he would be. But no. Dallas up 17 on the road without Luka.

Brooklyn has a big mountain to climb. They need to win 4 of 5. Starting with two in a row at home. I really thought that KD and Kyrie were the best offensive duo in the NBA and that would be enough to win it all. With support players doing their thing. Boston has really made it hard for Durant. He has looked mortal for two games. I think he will play better at home. But they should have won game one. They had the lead and choked down the stretch. If they lose the series that might be the biggest factor.

This looks bad for KD's legacy. Could not win a title in OKC even surrounded by 2 future MVP's with him. Wins with the Warriors who probably would have won two titles without him there. And now this is year 3 of the experiment with the Nets. I realize year one KD was recovering and Kyrie decided to take the year off. Next year will be year four if they flame out with Boston.


And the Sixers with Harden now look as good as anyone in the east. Maybe Harden made the right move.
