I would love to see what kind of adjustments Jazz had for the Suns. Suns swept them in regular season although neither of them was in this form

Wrong again, as usual.
Philly Brooklyn and Utah Phoenix looking the likely conference finals.
Both should be fun especially the west matchup. Very similar teams , will come down to late execution.

He should be posting up, not driving. His handle aint that legit. I'm disappointed I'm the coaching these days. These teams simply don't take advantage of mismatches.
You can bet the media will still focus on the LA teams with segments like "Should be more embrassed with these playoffs, LA Clippers or LA Lakers?"
Does anyone know how to post up anymore? Seems like a lost art.
They'll focus on the east, more "stars" and potential for clickbait on that side. Phoenix and Utah will be underrated until they win it all.
It's funny that yesterday some were discussing how underrated Stockton is, and Malone, today Stephan A Smith said that Donovan Mitchell is the greatest Jazz player ever 
Yea mate, let's ignore the 2nd highest NBA scorer of all time and the all time assist leader for someone who is in his fourth year in the NBA.

Did people really pick Denver? Suns are far better. The Lakers one is understandable and had AD stayed fit then who knows. I hope I'm wrong anyway. I want the Suns to win.
If Harden returns, I don't think it'll be that close vs Philly. Embiid's health would worry me too.
The WCF should be great though. Both teams have similar personnel.
@Sarni If you are anything like me, you have tried to think about all the scenarios involving the Blazers and their paths to improvement. How do you see it? What kind of coach do you want and what do you think the team needs in terms of personnel?
This season was a major disappointment. I still feel like the team was good enough to go far and personnel wise very close to teams who are still there.
I would like to trade CJ but we won’t get anything good for him. He may be better suited to a sixth man role, maybe that can be his future. Powell’s contract is expiring, if we can resign him for a good deal I would like that.
I am hoping a new coach can bring some life to that team. Then we will need a more reliable center, and a solid wing. If we can get a CJ trade that’s fine but I would expect us to trade him 50c on the dollar now so I’m not sure it is the way.

Fun game so far, hope Kyrie is ok.
Weird refereeing on both sides of the pitch so far. Pitbull Tucker the best player so far.
Another injury
Cant see kyrie playing in the next game as well. I guess harden will suit up.
Ugly sprain on Kyrie that
Durant not playing well and he has no help from his teammates. Looks that this is gonna end only in one way, and it might well be the end of the series if neither of Kyrie/Harden return for the remaining games.
How absolutely open is this if the Nets aren't in the final four..... I'd say there's little between the 5 main teams that aren't a fully formed Nets. Maybe the Eastern two have the minor edge, but it'd hardly be some lopsided matchup either.
Injuries deciding the playoffs seemingly every year now....

Referees have been atrocious on Durant tonight.
Giannis needs to stop shooting 3s. I do admire his optimism.
I haven't seen this kind of defense on KD since 2013.

Kyrie is probably out for game 5. I don't think Harden is coming back this series.
That Bruce Brown disaster in game 3 might have just defined the series.

Stupid from Jokic to get himself ejected, the Nuggets were still in the game.
Chris Paul was magnificient.

As always. Just a majestic player.
Amazing.
Some obscene shit from Paul in that series. 5 total turnovers.... .627 shooting. The fact he's 35 and was clearly playing in a very economic way to recover an injury only like 10 days ago.
Give me Suns/Bucks for the feel good finals... that I don't know who I'd want to win, but probably CP since Giannis has another decade to get something.

They’re interviewing her for the sake of pretending they’re being diverse again. Only way she’s getting a head coach job is at Spurs if Pops backs her when he retires.
You have the right idea, but the wrong organization. She was on everyone's list but we assumed she wouldn't be interested and only wanted the Spurs job. I am just glad she took a meeting in the first place. She would be perfect for Portland.
Gsus Christ what a miss by Embiid, like he choked dunno what was that.
Edit: Just saw stats he actually went 4/20 FG tonight, thats way to low for him.

That was a truly awful performance by Embiid.
Wow...did not see that Hawks win coming. Embid has been hurting the entire game and in addition to his knee, think his back has been bothering him since Game 3 when he landed very hard on his back.
Just read that Embiid went 0-12 in the second half, not good at all.
Yep. Scored his only points from FT line and missed that last possession layup.
Horrible offensive second half from him and it was clear he was physically banged up. Curry and Harris nor the bench couldn't step up in the 2nd half. Atlanta dominated on the defensive end.
Jazz really need Conley back.
This might get ugly for the jazz
Clippers win to tie it 2-2.
