Charles Barkley was on Spittin Chiclets. It's a good listen.

Celtics are cooked. Well they are a good road team but nothing here has shown they’re capable of winning this. Bad coaching.

[Hockey_Ninja]

This Heat team is different

[expo2428]

The heat continue to roll. They just want to win so much more than their completion so far.

[Mathgod]

South Florida is winning both championships this year, aren't they...

And then could you imagine the Rays winning too...

Hmm... better put a wager in for the Dolphins & Bucs to meet in the SB...

The NBA is so much more exciting to watch now that it’s not automatic that a LeBron team goes to the finals.

[Kasi]

Wow Boston is in full self destruct mode now.

[Hockey_Ninja]

The Celtics really might get swept. Wow

[Beninho]

I’d be happy with a Heat-Nuggets final. Two likeable teams. Murray/Jokic getting a ring or lowry getting no.2 is good with me.

Lebron vs the warriors before Durant and Lebron vs the spurs were exceptional finals. Probably some of the best I have seen. NBA is more balanced now tho so I get the sentiment.

Nick Nurse is going to have all of the options this offseason.

Definitely agree with that. Those finals were amazing, but the series before the finals were generally pretty boring. The finals this year will likely not be quite as good, but the whole playoffs overall is way more interesting.

Ya no its more interesting with a more open field, even tho both these conference finals are 3-0. Lakers folding makes sense, they overachieved. Seeing the Celtics completely implode is pretty hilarious though. I wonder what they do in the offseason because after this debacle I doubt they run it back.

The way Nash handled a terrible situation in Brooklyn leads me to believe he has the soft qualities down. From his playing days he was always a fast thinker, so he has that down. Only question I'd ask is how good is his communication on the x's and o's during crunch time? Secondly, if this team is rebuilding is now the best time to bring in Nash or is he destined to fail. It's a tough one but I think I do like the experience of Nash.

[expo2428]

Looked like the lakers were going to avoid the sweep easily but a terrible 3rd and they're going to have to fight for it

[Hockey_Ninja]

Jokic just set the new single playoff triple double record passing Wilt. Dude is amazing

[expo2428]

Yeah 2 quick offensive fouls means he'll have to be less aggressive these last few minutes

[expo2428]

Jokics play making is unbelievable

[expo2428]

Unbelievable 3 point shot when the shot clock was hitting zero and then another great pass to Gordon. Hard not to cheer for the Nuggets especially with Murray on the team.
