    It’s a fascinating series. Nuggets are a very good team and a couple of different subs and Murray getting a couple of easier shots and this is a different ball game.

    My concern with the Clippers is that they can drift in and out of games because of their talent and depth. Want to see a bit more fire in the belly and Lou and Harrell playing a little more together to put pressure on the Nuggets second unit.

    @ACT-Crusader they are punching above their weight but without a true superstar it's going to be hard to get another game back. Vanvleet is having a career year, Lowry is old but still putting in serious work like Chris Paul. But Siakam is their true scoring threat and he's down on his regular-season figures by quite a bit. I saw Nick Nurse is putting some of it down to Pascal struggling to adjust to the bubble but not really very sure what else is going on.

    Hard to see a clear title favourite at this point. Every remaining team feels about 80% of a really good team.

    I still favour Lakers or Clippers, purely down to Lebron and Kawhi. When it all breaks down, they are the only two I trust. But their teams have some pretty glaring flaws.

    Celtics look strong at the moment. They are young, athletic, well coached and deep. Hayward will be back for the CFs too

    @ACT-Crusader I don't get why Rivers gets away from criticism for the way the Clips are playing. Without doubt they have the most talent, but they fall asleep on D frequently, and their offence seems to revolve around Kawhi, PG and Lou W taking turns

    Yeah I reckon they’ve gone away from what they did pre-bubble in the regular season.

    How good is Thies playing? I’d love to see Miami vs Celts in CFs.

    The Celtics are the only team left I can even remotely get behind. Always liked Walker and Hayward, now Tatum and Brown as well.

    As a longtime Lakers fan I can never support the Celtics.

    I am cheering for the Clippers though.

    @Bovidae is recent times that’s seems to almost be as bad as cheering for the Celtics, as a Lakers fan.

    @raznomore I won't have any problem if the Lakers win but I'd be just as happy if there was a first-time winner. That means either the Clips or Nuggets.

    Bucks raising the white flag by ruling out Giannis. If it was a G7 I'm sure he'd find a way to get out there

    I don’t think so. He wanted to come back on in game 4 when he was dominating the game, but the injury was too bad.

    There's talk that OKC are set for a rebuild.

    They actually did quite well. They have a few young pieces I didn't know existed before the bubble, if CP3 stayed and they could get the right coach they could build on what they have

    Lebron’s got that look in his eye tonight. A big first half.

    Donovan wasn't really sacked, they just mutually agreed to part ways. Presti will need to work his magic.
