The Playoffs Started To Get AGGRESSIVE...

Things got completely out of control in the playoffs. From pure chaos of a game, to a superstar altercation in Dallas, and a debacle in Phoenix.
But we gotta start with the most chaotic game of the playoffs. And it was like that from the start.
The crowd was absolutely rocking in Indiana, as the Pacers blitzed Milwaukee with a double digit lead early on.
The Bucks only scored 6 field goals for the entire first quarter as it seemed like Indi would blow them out in game 3.
After that initial avalanche, and with Lillard having a horrific half of 2 for 10, Milwaukee felt okay with being down just 12 points at the break.
And they continued to chip away at the deficit, setting up a wild 4th quarter.
With the Pacers clinging to a 1 point lead in the final minute, it was crucial for them to score on this possession so…
What a clutch rebound for Siakam the bucket and the foul for a chance to put the Bucks away, buut he misses, leaving the door open for Milwaukee to extend the game and play the foul game.
So with the weight of the world on his shoulders, Nesmith stays ice cold at the line and knocks down 2 huge free throws. So now, whatever you do, don’t allow the three…
Oh my goodness what a shot by Middleton to bring back Milwaukee from the dead, and we go to overtime.
The entire arena is deflated, and in OT, Indi is playing catch up, trying to hang with the Bucks.
And what follows is an epic display of the fight and will to win of a young team, mixed in with the fear and inexperience with the game on the line.
Unbelievable…This was a combined possession of more than a minute and a half.
Amazing effort by the Pacers, but they didn’t know how to capitalize on that, so we got Middleton at the line and he calmly sinks both, so now all of a sudden the Pacers need to save themselves…
And on the other end, phenomenal contest by Nesmith to force this miss, and then things escalate because….
A colossal shot by Nesmith to once again give the Pacers a 3 point lead, so now again, don’t allow the three.
This is pure madness! Middleton goes hero mode again with another crazy shot to tie the game, shocking the entire arena.
But this would set up the final scene of this thriller…
Tyrese send the entire arena into a frenzy! Are you kidding me?! What a wild ride of a game.
He makes the free throw as well, and we all know who’s gonna take this shot right?!
Wooow what a game, without a doubt the wildest of the playoffs, as I gave it a 9.5 on rategame.

Moving on to Dallas where Luka started to really pull the Clippers defense apart in the second quarter.
Yeah that’s Kawhi Leonard who Luka is saying is too small.
Doncic was rolling, the role players were benefiting off of his assists, and the Clippers couldn’t follow this pace. So the Mavs went on a run and by half time this was a 13 point lead.
LA fought in the third quarter, and just when they thought they would have some kind of momentum at the end, leading into the 4th, Kyrie said not a chance.
The Mavs sensed that they could put an end to this game early, so right in the first minute, Luka and Kyrie went to work.
And the entire arena exploded on this fast break…
Seeing that this game is slipping away, the frustration was building for the Clippers, and things got heated at the end…
Westbrook with a disrespectful move towards Doncic, but Luka stays calm and of course his enforces will step in and do the dirty work here as PJ WASHINGTON takes over and handles things.
As it turns out, this would be the most interesting thing in the 4th quarter with the Mavs easily won this game for a 2-1 series lead, and I rated it with a 6.2 on rategame.
And in Phoenix, this was essentially a must win game for the Suns, so I was curious to see if there was going to be a big run at the start similar to how it was in Indiana.
However not only did Minnesota had answer for every bucket, but they went on the break with a 6 point advantage provided by their suffocating defense once again.
And then, the familiar script from every game in this series. The Timberwolves go on a huge run in the third quarter.
And just like that it’s a 20 point lead on the road. Once again the Suns don’t have an answer for Minnesota in the third quarter.
There would be frustration for Phoenix as well and some back and forth chirping but nothing really notable, as Anthony Edwards and the Wolves were able to go in there and completely quiet the crowd taking a commanding 3-0 lead and everything points out to an exciting second round matchup against the reigning champions the Denver Nuggets.
This was only a 5.8 on rategame but we got a 4 game slate for tonight so I’ll see you guys on there.

Exactly the problem with the Clippers. They sold almost every scrap of potential for 3 HOF'ers (Russ is #4 but on a good contract) who are past their prime. I get giving Kawhi & PG 5 years to do something, but now there are many players just as good and who are way younger. Zu, Mann and Powell are great role players, but they all have their hard limits. They have No talent to replace their big 3 and barely any draft picks to if they hit lottery. Their only hope is that a young blossoming talent will sign at their first free agency. The Clip ship has sailed. They only will win a chip if other teams lose focus and discipline. Mavs did in game 1. Thunder and Twolves don't seem to be as immature as ppl expected. Very sad...maybe the curse is real and maybe with the Clipped TV show and the move to their own arena will break that. I hope so.

Random thoughts: 1. Man, I really want that MIL-IND to go to 7. 2. A healthy and dramaless Kyrie is such a joy to watch and support. 3. Luka is one of the very, very, VERY few who can pull the 'too small' on Kawhi and actually back it up. He's been doing so since he was 21y/o. 4. What if the Wolves actually knock off Denver? I mean, I don't think the media is even ready to tackle that series postmortem aside from 'Ant has arrived.' and 'The Wolves are too big' stuff.

Clippers will need to seriously step up as a whole team to beat them imo. Mavs defense ironically got crem de la crem in the last month or so with Luka and Kai included.. The only two guys they still haven't figured out how to slow down are Powell and Harden.

That Bucks ending was wild. I was watching live and couldn't believe middleton sunk such a weird shot to go into OT. Then to end OT halliburton used his skillset perfectly to close it out, I thought bucks had him but he did everything perfect.
Anthony Edwards - "If you're not down with that, we got two words for ya"
This new era of superstars is really making their presence known immediately. Definitely reminds me of the Byrd/Magic era or the 96 draft class era where they just took the game to new heights purely on skill and determination.
2:31 Brook Lopez with the FlightReacts defense
Why is Lopez always uninvolved in defensive rebounding? He either boxes a player out or does nothing. Somebody please tell him he is 7.2 foot tall and should get at least 10 defensive rebounds if he plays 40 minutes. Pacers got loads of offensive rebounds almost uncontested

Westbrick has and always been, a SORELOSER. He is so arrogant when he wins but three times BITTER of a SORELOSER when he loses.
Pat Beverley is a liability on offense and his defense is suspect. Why do teams continue to pay this man, for morale? Bucks need Giannis back and eventually a new coach.
One thing that got mavs moving was the big role players. So many dunks set the stage.
