    Jefferson is visibly uncomfortable out there after coming out the locker room. Should maybe sit for a little while longer.

    He's pretty much their only chance of winning, so that's not good.

    They will be in the finals, I am telling you. Its not far-fetched at all, only one team in the east might be better.

    I think they showed that this is not going to be an easy series. Which I should of expected, it is a team full of players who have experience, and a really good head coach.

    It appears that this might be the quickest series.

    Its a really good win for the Wizards, they might be in the ECF if they can beat Chicago.

    going to parlay Indiana/Chicago/Clippers series prices

    bizarre how many clearly better teams lost Game 1.

    Spurs should've lost but Dallas just folded like a Craig Sager suit in the final minutes.

    Which teams were clearly better? I mean we all knew the Wizards were a legit threat months ago, we all knew the Pacers were frauds months ago. I mean I am not surprised by anything so far tbh

    The three I mentioned. There's reality and then there's soxxx world. Indiana is clearly better than Atlanta. Chicago is clearly better than Washington. LAC is clearly better than GS.

    Yet you picked Chicago and Indiana to win so you can cover all your bases. The tricky strategy, "I told you they were dangerous" if they win or "I didn't pick them even though I called them dangerous"

    I thought IND would lose a game, was surprised it was game 1. I'm not too surprised Chicago lost a home game, but I am surprised it was defensively that caused the problems and Wall didn't have a great game

    LAC especially once Bogut went down. The Griffin to Big Baby drop is HUGE for the Clippers.

    Tomorrow night is fun, OKC/MEM And LAC/GS. Awesome two games to line up

    for sure

    It showed during the regular season matchups

    Golden State was able to play the Clippers much better with Bogut protecting the rim

    Bogut was a big loss

    Ugh what? I mean I warned y'all, you guys had to choose to listen to me or listen to ESPN and the rest of the media. I mean no one wanted to listen to me but thats fine, everyone has to make decisions in their lives at some point. But dont forget:

    are you serious? You want me to dig up the thousands of times you've made way off base predictions?

    I mean I am talking about the Pacers right now, I DEMAND ESPN to issue an apology because the Pacers were never a good team, never should have been labeled as "contender", none of it. I think if they can win a playoff series then they would be overachieving, because thats about it for them, ESPN lied all year about em, and built em up to be something they NEVER were. Im not even sure where this idea of them being a top 5 team came from? I tuned out the media all year and when I heard that the Pacers were a contender, I was like, what in the world?

    your thing has been that the pacers suck and the rest of the East is good

    The Pacers post-AS break swoon has been well-documented, and you know what? No team aside from Miami was even close to them in the final standings.

    So the Pacers sucked for 2 months and yet they finished 12 games ahead of the Nets and 19 games ahead of the Knicks.

    So now we are judging teams based on records? What about the eye test? I am glad I muted all my games, ignored the media, because I think many more people would have came to the same conclusion that I did, instead ESPN shoved the contender label down everyone throat which was really off base and made absolutely zero sense to me.

    OK, we shouldn't judge teams based on how well they performed during the season.

    We should judge them based on whether soxxx likes them or not.

    After the NBA Finals is NOT Spurs/Nets, we can all come back and question whether soxxx is the expert analyst he thinks he is.

    Umm, I have already said I lack basketball intellect, unfortunately the rest of the people around me lack it even more. Regardless though, if the Pacers get beat by the Hawks would you consider it a success or a failure?
