What a game. Second straight game, wizards build an early lead and then to run out of gas in the end. Halimaw si IT talaga. Pero good game. Sagutan ng big shot after big shot pero naubusan na si wall. Si jennings amp for a "big game talker" wala namang pinapakita.

I picked the wiz in 6 and i still think its in play. They have to close better though and find an 8th or 9th man to contribute. Celtics depth helping them win these past two games plus IT's play

Pareng darkshader, game 1 ng utah at gsw bro. Kanino ka kampi pre, for old times' sake?

[DarkRushBeat]

Hmmm, marami naniniwala na Wizards pa rin daw ito in 6 games....Who knows?

[skp_16]

Mukhang GSW vs Cavs talaga ulit ang finals. Well...sa tingin ko sure na ang Cavs sa East (as usual), sa West naman chance lang ng Spurs/Rockets kung may ma-injure sa big 4 ng Warriors.

The Wiz should have taken 1 of these two games, but the Celtics did what they had to and protect home court. I'm still confident that the Wiz can take this, Wiz in 7.

And I love IT man. That guy is a beast. Nung pinaalis siya ng Kings, I knew it was a big mistake. The Kings could have had Cousins and IT together for a potent inside outside combo. But of course, the Kings being the Kings, they effed it up lol.

Anyway predictions ko for the semis, di ko lang na post kahapon:

Wiz in 7
Spurs in 7
Dubs in 4
Cavs in 5

Tingin ko me laban pa Jazz dito...Sana maka isa or 2 sila sa Dubs....

Sana makalaro pa si TP9 this playoffs.

As a spurs fan, im fearing the worst for tp9. Get well soon and possibly face the rockets without him the rest of the way. Pau was big on the boards and simmons provided much needed energy. Along with kawhi of course.

Im surprised to see harden struggle today pero kalokohan yung fould baiting niya sa tres. Version lang yun ng "swipe through move" where he starts to hook his defender with his off arm and he hoists a shot as soon as tumawag yung ref.

Game 3 i dont know for sure who takes it. Maybe moreyball threes will connect again or maybe they wont.

Quits na raw sila (SAS-HOU)...Gantihan lang, tambakan lang he he...

Baffled by the Isiah Thomas to Phoenix deal. From a kings' fan perspective, i wish him well (I actually like him better than Collisson), but why are the suns doing this? I don't understand, but they're getting a good player nonetheless.

He's also signing on for 7 million a year which is great value, the kings should have just paid him that.

This was my post in 2014 about IT. I was right on all accounts a) it wouldn't work in Phoenix b) That contract was going to be a hell of a deal and c) the Kings should have just paid him that lol.

I obviously didn't think IT would turn into this monster of a player, but he was already averaging 20 points playing alongside Demarcus lol. In what world did they think that "hmmmmm yeah darren collison is better." Oh well.

Birthday din pala na little sister ni IT kahapon kaya ganadong ganado maglaro.. iirc bandang dulo if not last pick siya dati.. and now all-star na.. nag no.1 seed pa.. and ahead ng 2-0 sa conference semi finals..

[DarkRushBeat]

Next max contract na yan si IT....Tapos tuloy na yata ang exit ni Butler sa Bulls....

[flipsflops]

[skp_16]

Still hoping for GSW vs SAS western finals.

[parokyano]

feel bad for TP.. but i don't know if this will make me feel better or worse..

[charliedrama]

Feel bad for tp9, underrated pg for almost a decade now, leader on and off the floor. Spurs need to win 1 on the road to give themselves a chance for home court advantage.

[ron_bato]

Lol what a joke. 500 USD for basketball shoes for someone who hasn't proven himself yet in the NBA? get outta here

Even worse, they're selling flip flops for 200 USD

[parokyano]

Turned off the TV na.. hindi pa tapos 2nd Q.. durog na ang Jazz..

[ron_bato]

I think one thing we're seeing with Mike Brown that Steve Kerr didn't want is a more active Draymond Green in terms of shooting it from 3. Steve Kerr didn't like Draymond shooting 3s (and he wad dismal this year) - but it looks like Mike Brown is giving Draymond some leeway in that front and he has been producing.

[DarkRushBeat]

panget na, mahal pa ng Lonzo Ball shoes na yan...
