    I'm suddenly remembering the vintage Rockets with all this playing around when the game's not over.

    Since Harden apparently won a Championship after game 4 in the second round I thought I’d let you losers celebrate. o_O

    Nice - Celtics staging a Boban style fake comeback after the game is out of reach

    Mazulla may become a great coach but he's just too inexperienced for this type of team in these situations.

    Him apologizing the other day about not calling the time out almost makes it worse. Instead of being some stubborn coach that thinks his way is right and everyone else is wrong, he...just didn't know to call a timeout to advance the ball and get a chance at another possession??

    RFA after next season. He should hold out on anything short of the max, somebody will hand him a max offer sheet.

    Like I said, props to Doc Rivers for fighting against the moreyball offense. They turned the corner when they went conventional post ups and kickouts and pressuring the use of midrange.

    Nobody can stop the MVP. You had the majority blaming him when they weren't using him properly with the 5 out bullshit.

    Rivers deserves coach of the year.

    That Game 1 by Harden was so pivotal

    Single-handedly saved the SIxers season.

    Big game from Maxey, Embiid impacting both sides of the game, Harden played well and Doc Rivers with the House adjustment. Had to close it out but strong win, we'll see what happens next game.
