Props to the Clippers for stepping it up when their best player went down.

Man what a choke job. Well done by the Clippers being able to capitalize without Kawhi. Utah gonna be kicking themselves for a while over this series.

We kick ourselves every year lol.

Didn’t think I’d be hurt worse than the 3-1 series lead against the Nuggets last season but here we are

Of course the Clippers finally break the curse when a total random drops 39 in a closeout game. Feels like every team in the last 8 will be thinking this, but it seems especially true for Utah that this was a major opportunity thrown away. Even without CP3 I don't like the Clippers chances against the Suns, but they've shown great heart the last two games so who knows?

This seems like the moment the Bucks complete the collapse.

What a shot by KD!

[GreenLantern2814]

That’s a toe away from being the most incredible shot I’ve ever seen.

[Hockey_Ninja]

KD, Kobe and MJ are the best scorers ever

[Strange Brew]

Harden nothing but a decoy during crunch time in the playoffs.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Just an aside but it's a good thing this is Marv's last year, the mistakes are endless now.

[GreenLantern2814]

Allow me to channel my inner Skip Bayless and declare Giannis to be the LEAST. VALUABLE. PLAYER.

[GreenLantern2814]

There’s seriously been 2 whole points scored this entire OT.

[Strange Brew]

This OT is brutal.

Did Skip mention Lebron after Durant made that game tying shot?

[Senator Clay Davis]

That was definitely one of the worst overtimes in playoff history, I guess congrats to the Bucks for still choking, but getting lucky enough Durant wasn't a foot further back.

Congrats to the Bucks. KD played his heart out but he was obviously gassed there on that last shot. These playoffs have been crazy.

[Kasi]

Yay glad to see that awful team of players who quit their way out of their last teams not get rewarded. (Not KD but for sure Kyrie and Harden, Durant is easy to root against for many other reasons)

I don't follow basketball as much as other sports, but is Nash that bad of a coach?

Few people I follow on Twitter have basically been ripping him all season and then blamed this loss on him. I don't know if they have anything against Nash, but I figure you'd want him to succeed since he's a local guy here.

[Kasi]

Not sure since obviously being able to coach that group of head cases has a challenge all in itself and it’s to his credit we really never heard much. Also the fact they had as good a record as they did despite all the injuries to all three players is impressive. But he has also never coached at all previously and I’ve read some criticisms of his in game skills that could maybe have swung things in games.
