Takeaways

Pacers lack of scoring is a huge problem, they’ll miss Oladipo as expected. Boston should have that series in the bag comfortably

Lillard finally showed up in the Playoffs

Enes Kanter was the X factor for Portland in G1 very good performance

Paul George don’t look healthy and that’s a problem for OKC

Pistons are hopeless without Blake

Bucks look SCARY GOOD, Giannis is on another level

Very impressive win by the Rockets. Harden also laid down a statement

surprised how easily rockets dominated Utah’s paint. Looking forward to how Utah adjust

Interesting Stats and Facts

Boston held Indiana to just 29 pts in the 2nd half (8 pts in 3rd Quarter). Serious lack of scoring for Indiana

Portland snapped a 10 game losing streak in the playoffs - first playoff win since 2016

Russell Westbrook has tied Wilt Chamberlain with 9 career triple doubles in the Playoffs (6th most all time).

Bucks scored the 2nd most pts in franchise history in the 1st half with 70 against Detroit. Statement.

CRAZY BETTING FACT - Under is 8-0 against the Over (Points) in the 2019 Playoffs so far

Joel Embiid WILL play tonight

Sixers looking much better tonight, what a performance in the 3rd Quarter

No boos tonight 😄

Steph Curry is straight ridiculous right now... some of the shot making is still surreal to me although he’s been doing it for years

WOOOOW WHAT A COMEBACK WIN BY THE CLIPPERS... WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? Unreal this may be the greatest comeback win in a single game I’ve ever seen. Lou Williams is unbelievable

Takeaways

Sixers looked more like a title contending team in Game 2. A fantastic performance

Ben Simmons bounced back strongly

Clippers have absolutely no quit in them. What a resilient team

Clippers comeback win is the greatest comeback win I’ve ever seen in an nba game. That was special

Lou Williams is an allstar level player

Pat Beverley has definitely caused KD problems

Warriors should be embarrassed for blowing the lead

Interesting Stats and Facts

Sixers scored 51 pts in the 3rd Quarter which ties the NBA record for points in a quarter by a team in the playoffs

Ben Simmons became just the 3rd sixer ever to have multiple triple doubles in the playoffs career (Barkley, Chamberlain)

145 points is Sixers franchise high for points scored in a playoff game

Clippers 31 point comeback is the largest comeback in Playoffs history

Clippers scored 85 pts in the 2nd half which is the most amount of pts since they were the buffalo braves

Clippers scored 44 pts in the 3rd Quarter which is franchise high for a quarter in franchise history in a playoff game

Lou Williams 36 pts is franchise record for a player pts off the bench in the playoffs

Clippers became the 7th team to comeback from a 20 pts down on the road in the playoffs over the past 20 years

Boogie is expected to miss the remainder of the postseason with a left quad injury; There is “faint optimism” he could return by the Finals

Well well well, first of all hope he recovers well, but these last couple of days have been horrendous for the Warriors first that choke job and now Boogie is out. Houston must be licking their chops at a prospect of playing Boogie less GS in the 2nd round as long as they don't choke to Utah

Warriors blowing a 31 pt lead, wow the 3 and 1 memes are back in full flow huh 😄 shoutout to the Clippers man they are TOUGH

Someone edited this, I can't, Lowry can't catch a break from being trolled rn 😄 😄 😄

WOOOOW the Internet is brutal 😄 , credit to him for bouncing back tonight though playing a hell of a game

Typical Lowry stinks up Game 1, does well in Game 2

Kawhi played absolutely unreal tonight

Takeaways

A very good bounce back performance by Toronto and Kyle Lowry

Kawhi Leonard was absolutely unstoppable in Game 2

That was a HUGE comeback win for Denver

Jamal Murray was sensational in the clutch

Lillard and McCollum are absolutely balling in the playoffs so far

Russell Westbrook has to play better

OKC are in serious trouble

Interesting Stats and Facts

29 pt Win is raptors largest win in franchise history in the playoffs

Jamal Murray had 3 pts on 0/8 shooting in the first 3 quarters. He dropped 21 pts on 8/9 shooting in the 4th QTR however. Clutch

Thunder have now lost 11 consecutive road games in the Playoffs

Blazers are now 20-2 in their last 22 games at home and have won 10 straight in front of their fans. Regular season included

Man the Nuggets responded so well to adversity last night, I gotta give credit to Mike Malone never let his head down continuously pumped his guys up especially Murray who eventually just exploded. Mike Malone is a DAMN GOOD COACH

KYRIE IRVING MANNNN HE’S COOKIN TONIGHT

Kyrie is the difference in this series. Indiana just don’t have that luxury with Oladipo injured and its cost them a win yet again. Boston wins this in 5 imo
