The fouls can’t be hurting that much, they played 42 and 41 minutes. Not a lot of time to not be out there together.

I didn't think it was possible they both had that many minutes again,I know Booker had to set twice and KD came out soon as Book went back in. I think Booker has had 4 or 5 fouls for at least 3 or 4 of the games,I don't remember him ever getting in that much foul trouble before but I think in these playoffs he has step up more on the defensive side of the ball then I remember before too,so I guess they equal each other out.

Not surprised the Warriors won last night.
Also not surprised about AD. I haven’t seen the elbow to the head and I’m not saying it was intentional but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team get as much luck with opposing team’s injuries like GSW

Yes let’s play the luck card again. It works both ways, we had players out for injury/suspension in the finals losses to Cleveland and Toronto

Every series going to game 6 wild. I can see at least 3 of the series getting to 7 and ngl at the beginning the only series I thought would get that far was Suns/Nuggets. The Sixers continues to show me they're better then what I thought they was,Harden is looking like the beard of old. |

You can still be a fan and realize they’ve had some very helpful breaks. They have, but a lot of people like to insinuate that they wouldn’t have won or didn’t deserve to win because of it. As if their opponents are the only teams with players getting hurt. Chris Paul gets hurt every year. This year has seen Giannis, Embiid, Butler, Morant all miss games. Kawhi and Paul George. We’re not the only ones to benefit, and it has happened against us as well. |

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it to discredit or say they wouldn’t have still won championships. Just seems like every time they’re reeling they catch a hell of a break But I agree, the injury bug has bitten them in the past too. I just hate to see stars go down in the playoffs regardless of team. It can have such a drastic effect on the entire postseason |

D@mn it,another starter down. With how Ayton's played this postseason,it might not be a awful thing on the defensive side but without CP3 and DA they're running out of points. Book/KD gonna have to put up 80 if Ayton doesn't play to be in the game.

Every series at a 3-2 right now
How exciting!
I'm really feeling a Sixers VS Nuggets finals and a Philly ring!

That's looking pretty likely right now but I can't see Philly beating the Nuggets if they're hitting on all cylinders. If they hitting their 3s I don't see anybody hanging with them. I will say I think its a good 75% -80% chance or more that the eventual champ is playing tonight. |

As a Nets fan, all I can say to Suns fans is ... yep, that's the Playoffs KD I know. OUCH.

Just read GSW may be without Wiggins for game 6 as he’s got a fractured rib. So just disregard my injury posts lol
It’ll never happen but how good would the payoffs be if no stars were out and everyone was as close to 100% as possible. But that’s why playoffs are big on coaching and game to game as well as half to half adjustments.

Warriors apparently don’t have a good track record with the officials tonight, so it might be a long night as we fade off into the sunset. |

Denver advancing isn’t shocking but I think Denver handles either team from this series. It might go 6 games but Denver just seems too honed in and the shots are falling |

This LA-GS game has had more whistles blown than any game I can remember. And we’re midway thru the 3rd

😭 Now that was an embarrassing way to go out,for the second straight year nobody showed up in a elimination game. I love Book,imo he's easily a top 10 guy in the league(personally I think he's higher)but this is 3 years in a row he's pretty much disappeared in the elimination game. He's had one of the best playoffs run I can remember but d@mn that was not the same guy that has given everything throughout the playoffs.
I hate to say it but I think its time to see what's out there and send CP3 and DA on their way. The big two can only do so much,Ayton got out played by a guy off the streets and Paul just looks to old anymore. I seen some people talk about Dame,I don't really know how I feel about that but at least he can chip in so KD and Book doesn't have to go for 75 every night or get blow out by 20+.
If Philly beats Boston tonight,I didn't get one team right in the conference finals. Ill still give it another try I got Denver/Boston(yeah ill go down with the ship on this one) in the finals with Denver winning in 7.

It was definitely a long night riding off into the sunset. I’m sure people will point to the FT disparity, but the problem was they couldn’t put the ball in the basket. Steph and Klay were way off from 3, especially Klay, who had open shots all night but was still missing. And LA had a lot of fast break opportunities off misses that turned into fouling for FTs, so making shots would limit some of the FTs too. I always believe in their ability to win at home, but the “Road Warriors” were too much to overcome. We also failed to win both games that came down to the very end, can’t do that either. I really didn’t think we’d get back to the finals, but I wish it wasn’t the Lakers who we lost to.
