Too bad the Blazers weren't a better matchup. They have a bright future

Heat and Spurs move on.

I could see Indiana win out tonight, or lose and go to a game 7, but I'm guessing they win the series.

I think OKC closes it out tonight... the Clips let that last game get away.

It may happen. It was a real nut punch to lose that game the other night (particularly the way it happened), with the potential to go up 3-2 and heading back to LA. I hope the team is more resilient than I am LOL

The good news for me is that no matter who wins, I can be relatively happy. I root for OKC unless they're playing LAC. The bad news for me is that no matter who wins, the Spurs are probably going to dismantle them. I don't believe either team is sophisticated enough to put up much of a challenge to a highly polished Spurs club.

I think the Clippers take this one

Donald Sterling's lawyer writes letter to NBA saying he won't pay $2.5 million fine, says "no punishment is warranted."

The greatest season in Clippers history. They should hang some banners.

In a decade or so, once they get out of the Sterling mess, they might top that. OK, probably not.

BTW, Scott Brooks of OKC started Steven Adams instead of Kendrick Perkins in the 2nd half last night.

That's how bad, Kendrick Perkins sucks these days.

I went 2 for 2 last night. Well Kind of. I hedged my bets on the Pacers game, but who knows with that team? I thought they'd win, but I thought they'd win game 5 too.

Should be a good Conference Finals. 2 Best teams in each conference made it.

Concur, the most deserving teams are in the conference finals, top 2 seeds in both conferences. To their credit, Clippers were the only team in the semi-finals that put up a real fight, IMO, but OKC executed better in the clutch and moves on. San Antonio now has a real battle. Good.

Steven Adams is going to be a very good player. He's a couple years away, but he was a difference maker throughout the series and the previous one against Dallas.

We had season tickets for the Clippers when they were in San Diego. I loved them and Lloyd "World Be" Free. And then they left for Los Angeles and I was all

I think the Spurs might win it in 5. I'll be rooting for OKC but I just don't see a finals that isn't the Spurs vs Heat
