Pistons are done. Cavs have too many vets to lose two in a row when it's one at home and one on the road. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I do think it's improbable.

Cleveland had a better effort tonight, but they're going to need to be a lot better at home than they have been on the road so far.

Detroit is just more physical than Cleveland is. I don't see the Cavs overcoming this deficit, but we'll see how it plays out.

Crow is delicious. ... Cleveland has come with a better effort.

... Hopefully Harden can buck his playoff history and help the Cavs win the series. ... It's a good time to exercise his playoff demons.

Can't stand the Pistons from the Bad Boys days, but I don't have any animosity towards this group of Pistons, just like them less than the Cavs.

If either got there, at best both of these teams would be fodder for the eventual champs. ... I don't see them getting to the Finals.

What happened to All-Star Duren? He has fallen off a cliff in the playoffs and was benched in the 4th qtr of game 5. Yeah these Pistons need more options on offense. Can't count out the T-wolves just yet but it's looking like OKC vs SA will be the real Finals. Don't see how the East will be able to compete. Spurs and Thunder have so much quality depth. Maybe the Knick's heart and chemistry with their top 8 will be just enough, Cavs still have the core from their 64 win season a few years ago, and Pistons could make it interesting with their defense and if Duren finds his way again.
Congrats to the Cavs (and Donovan Mitchell for making his first CF), ... it was looking bleak early in the series.

Thunder v Spurs WCF
Knicks v Cavaliers ECF

If consensus holds true the WCF is the actual NBA Finals this season, but we'll see how it plays out in the end.
I like the Knicks over the Cavs. Hard to say for Thunder Spurs. Spurs have had their number all year, but that doesn't always dictate how a playoff series will go. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the Thunder won in 5.

I think Knicks will squeak by in a game 7 unless Mitchell just has a flat out great game.

OKC Spurs gonna be a great series. Hopefully the officiating doesn't dictate the series. If refs call it even for both teams, Spurs in 6
OKC fans getting on the refs is absolutely hilarious
Oh I see Kittle is a bandwagon Thunder fan
Spurs too young to close out

Very dubs like in 12-13

Dude he was doing really good lmao. If Spurs would've lost it could've been a a JJ Barea guarding Bron talking point.

In the end Wemby was too much and Shai is a b***h
