Takeaways

Ben Simmons is straight up balling and shutting everyone up right now

Sixers have taken control of the series against the Nets

I don’t know how Denver are going to win in San Antonio that is a very daunting task

Derrick White is playing out of his mind, yet another great development product by the Spurs

DeRozan has been great in the Playoffs this year

Warriors are just way superior to the clippers. If they stay locked in it’ll be quick work in Games 4 and 5.

Kevin Durant has awaken

Interesting Stats and Facts

Sixers has 3 25+ pt scorers in a single game in the playoffs for the first time since 1978

Ben Simmons is averaging 24.5 ppg 7 rpg 10.5 apg on 76% FG in Games 2 and 3 against the Nets

San Antonio Spurs have beaten the Nuggets 14 consecutive times at home

Derrick White is averaging 23 ppg on 69/33/82 shooting splits in the Playoffs so far this season

Warriors have now won at least one road game in 20 consecutive playoffs series which is a new nba record

Kevin Durant 27 pts in the 1st half was the tied career high he scored in a single half in his Playoff career

Jonathan Isaac is SO SO GOOD DEFENSIVELY

Orlando came so close man. Can't believe they let Lowry get that rebound. Siakam a different animal this year for Toronto though what a season and series he's having

Pacers yet again being let down with sloppy stretches. Could be 3-0 up yet they’re 3-0 down. Cant wait to see them next year with Oladipo healthy

Embiid might be out again today

Takeaways

Orlando Magic have been giving Toronto an extremely tough series so far

Pascal Siakam has been incredible for the Raptors. What an improvement by him this year

Pacers lack of offensive fire power hurt them yet again. Missing Oladipo badly

Kyrie Irving once again proved to be the difference in the key moments

Great response by Russell Westbrook and OKC in Game3. That series is back on!

Interesting Stats and Facts

Pascal Siakam is averaging 24.3 ppg 10 rpg 3 apg on 55% shooting in the Playoffs this year so far

Pacers have been held to 12 pts or under in at least one quarter in every game In the series against Boston (3rd Q G1 - 8 pts, 4th Q G2 - 12 pts, 3rd Q G3 - 12 pts). Slumps are killing them

Trail-Blazers have lost 8 straight road games in the Playoffs

I still don't understand what Thaddeus Young was trying to do here 😄 , what kinda lay up attempt is that

Nevermind that, Embiid IS playing today and is starting

Caris LeVert is playing so damn well right now

Dudley's antics got Butler ejected, this series is heated! Brooklyn have a fantastic chance here though with Butler out

I LOVE PLAYOFF BASKETBALL

Idk why DeMarre Carroll is getting minutes. Dude stinks, can't make anything at all

This is too entertaining

Embiid has taken this game over and Brooklyn are crumbling. I'm feeling Sixers will steal this now

YEP, Sixers steal this one! Series is Over. Embiid absolutely ridiculous couldn't be stopped. expecting a blowout win in G5 from Philly

Mike Scott nails the clutch dagger out of all the stars they have.. That's a tough one for Brooklyn to take man, the inexperience showed down the stretch they'll be back next year for sure

Jokic playing one of his best games ever. What a performance so far. Denver look like they'll be taking home court back

Blake Griffin is ACTIVE for Game 3 against the Bucks

DeRozan tried to take the Refs head off 😄 😄
