Good luck, Cavs. Smelling like frauds.

Why would the pacers take all 20 second on the clock? Take a shot within 10, if it's a miss, foul and even if they make both, you can tie with a 3.

Damn prayers goes out to Isaiah Thomas family

Isaiah Thomas' Sister Killed in One-Car Accident in Washington

The sister of Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas was killed in a single-car accident Saturday morning in Federal Way, Washington.

According to the News Tribune's Craig Sailor, Chyna J. Thomas, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident after the 1998 Toyota Camry careened into a barrier after the car drifted into the shoulder.

"That vaulted the vehicle head-on into the sign post," State Patrol spokesman Trooper Nick King said, per Sailor.

According to Washington State Patrol, Thomas was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.

"We are terribly saddened by the tragic loss of Chyna Thomas," the Celtics said in a statement Saturday, according to ESPN.com's Chris Forsberg. "The thoughts and prayers of the entire Celtics organization are with Isaiah and his family."

NBA commissioner Adam Silver also released a statement expressing his condolences:

Thomas and the Celtics are scheduled to open their first-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden.

Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe reported members of Thomas' inner circle will head to Boston on Sunday morning to be with the point guard.

Not impressed at all with the Cavs win. I really hate that they've evolved into a run and gun offense. Their defense was dreadful. And we're seeing more and more that it's making it really difficult to protect leads. Even worse because they can't seem to hit free throws. They're lucky they have such an easy path in the east. With this defense, Golden State will rain 120+ easy.

I'm afraid Kyle Lowry playing a bad game or even being a consistently bad playoff performer still doesn't make the Celtics or Wizards any kind of threat to knock LeBron out (or even any good at all).

I could have told you that before the season started. It doesn't take a genius to realize when a 73-9 team who lost in the finals 3-4 in a 7-game series signs a top 5 NBA player they will probably win it all.

That's probably one of the reasons NBA Ratings has sucked this season. Everyone already knows who is going to win it all. Barring a significant injury to one of the Warriors star players the Warriors should win the championship with relative ease. Maybe the Spurs will take them to 6-games but that is probably the closest anyone will come to beating them.

Durant took the easy way out. He's a mamma's boy b**ch.

That's not what I meant. I said he took the easy way out. Like MJ said he wanted to beat the best not join them. It's his life and his choice and he seems like a good guy off the court so it's whatever but in my mind he is somewhat of a coward for signing with GS.

MJ didn't want to join them because he was already in that eras version of the Warriors. He played with hall of famers with a hall of fame coach.

he can want to win, but he's a coward for joining an already historically stacked team while being up 3-1 against said team prior. He's a pussy for his decision in terms of competition.

So he should give up his chance of winning a ring just for "competition". And lets be honest, Warriors without Durant are still better than OKC would have been with him. He made a decision to win a championship like anybody else would have in that situation. I'd rather win a championship (and a chance at multiple championships) that stay on a team that is going to be consistently 3rd or worse in the conference for the sake of competition.

I know.

He was key in the Raptors turnaround.

He could get them into the playoffs but will never be the guy to lead them to a championship.

I think they need to go in another direction at PG.

They were one miss away from losing to the 8 seed. When LeBron wasn't on the court they gave up 158 points per 100 possessions. That's amazingly bad. I don't see how you can talk like they performed so great.

And what happened to the raptors being better than the Celtics and wizards while we're talking about failed predictions?

Cleveland is obviously going to win that series. That's beyond obvious regardless of what happened in game 1. There's no way anybody can be all that confident in the Celtics beating the Bulls (especially after what Jimmy Butler did to them tonight).

Well they finished two games ahead of the Wizards in the ever so important regular season, did they not? My point was always that the three of them (Raptors, Celtics, Wizards) weren't good at all and have no shot at supplanting a motivated Cavs team. Nothing has changed.

They're not winning a championship until LeBron declines significantly or the current Warriors disband anyway. I'm not sure how many years Lowry has left at a high level (it's probably no more than two or three), but if you do get rid of him, the Raptors aren't probably any better than a 45 win team going forward.

He was not giving up a chance to win a ring if he stayed with the Thunder. You act like the Thunder lost 0-4 to the Warriors and got blown out every game. They came very close to winning the championship with Durant.

It's not the same to join a super team and win it when you could be the driver and win a championship that way.

How can you join a 73-9 that just beat your team the way they beat the Thunder? Draymond Green kicks your teammate in the nuts and you go join that team. You call Westbrook (who clearly doesn't like Curry) your brother then go join a team with Curry. Talk all this crap about how you love OKC and then leave.

Durant is as fake as they come. He is a selfish prick who can't be trusted.

The NBA is going to continue to suck if players like Durant keep doing this. There is only going to be a few teams worth watching and small market teams will never have a chance to compete because as soon as their star players contract is up they'll go to the best team in the league.

Durant and LeBron both set a bad trend that hopefully will not continue although at least LeBron went back.

Reggie Miller talked about this and explained it way better than I ever could.

OKC is overrated. Westbrooks great season has hidden them as a team. They have a ton of holes that I figured would easily be exposed during the postseason. It'll probably take them years to get back to how good they were with Durant-Westbrook.

Durant leaving really hurt that team but at least they made the playoffs and were able to sign Westbrook to an extension.

Reggie Miller also doesn't have a ring. So what did being loyal get him and why should KD have followed in his example?

Once again, when would it have been okay to leave okc? Since 9 years isn't enough, should he have waited until he was with them 15 years? 20 years?

Reggie Miller explained what it got him in the link I sent.

It is fine to leave OKC but to do it and join a 73-9 team, a team that just beat your team in a hard fought series, is taking the easy way as far as winning a championship and disrespectful to your former teammates. It's also bad for the league because it makes watching only a couple teams worthwhile and I think you saw that with the ratings dip the NBA experienced this season.

That's all I am saying. I'm done talking about it lets get back to talking about the NBA playoffs. It has been pretty good so far.

You need to refocus your anger a bit. Kevin Durant gave you EIGHT incredible years of his playing career. Immediately after leading the Thunder to the Finals, Presti repays Durant by shipping harden off for peanuts. More recently, Presti trades off the other remnant of that "young" core in Ibaka. If Presti wasn't overtly trying to destroy the team, it certainly seemed he was letting Durant know exactly where he stood.

It is fine to leave OKC but to do it and join a 73-9 team, a team that just beat your team in a hard fought series, is taking the easy way as far as winning a championship and disrespectful to your former teammates. It's also bad for the league because it makes watching only a couple teams worthwhile and I think you saw that with the ratings dip the NBA experienced this season.

That's all I am saying. I'm done talking about it lets get back to talking about the NBA playoffs. It has been pretty good so far.
So a FA should go to a bad team instead of going to the best team possible? What ran offers him the same opportunities as GS? The double standard people have for athletes is hilarious. People would drop everything to work at a slightly better company. An athlete does the same and he's a pussy.

So if a mutil-millionaire co-worker who is set for life left the company you both work for a rival company you both used to hate you'd be okay with that? Or if your gf left you for a richer better-looking guy who you both used to hate, again, you'd be fine with that? Yeah right!

A FA should be loyal if an organization has been good to him and want to beat the best not join them. That's just the competitive and loyal nature of my beliefs but not everyone has that and I understand.

I can understand your viewpoint but I hope you can understand mine as well.

With that said f**k Kevin Durant and the Warriors.

You're jilted and upset. I think that is understandable. I think you may also be underestimating the difference in living in San Francisco and OKC; quality of life matters.

series wont be close and this is where OKCs lack of real talent comes into play. Yeah you can win during the season with overpaid spare parts like Enes Kanter but when playoffs come teams will lock it down and expose overpaid bums like that.

Same thing is happening in Boston with their spare parts in Amir Johnson and Kelly Olynyk. Boston is basically Thomas, Bradley, Horford and Crowder for defense and the rest of their rotation is going to get exploited. Robin Lopez eatting them alive.

Uh...Multimillionaires leave their companies for competitors every day. And girls leave their boyfriend for someone better looking and more successful each day.

And why the hell should a FA be loyal to his organization? It's the same organization that traded James Harden because they didn't want to pay him. How much longer is he supposed to stick to an organization like that?

The only reason why Boston finished where they did was because of their consistently high effort level. The playoffs are a great equalizer in that regard. Everyone is now trying hard. That makes a team like the Celtics that isn't all that talented (outside of the few you mentioned) quite vulnerable.

And everyone makes a big deal about Lebron going to 6 consecutive (or whatever it is) NBA Finals.

Just shows how easy the East has been all these years.

Hard to believe Cleveland is winning games in the playoffs after struggling in the regular season. Have never seen anything like this before.

... We're 2 games into the first round. Did anybody say they would lose in the first round?

And the same trend of them being outplayed in the 4th quarter has been present in both games so far. That's not a good trend to have as they get deeper on the playoffs and play better and better teams.

But hey, they've beat the 8th seed team in game 1 and 2 and have given up an average of 109 points. Everything's perfect.

First game came down to the last few shots and tonight the last minute. Seems likely the east is weak enough as always that the Cavs can use it to actually start playing well but they are not now.

For once I actually agree with -King-

There is nothing to be impressed with so far. They are up 2-0 on a crappy basically one-man Pacers team. Big deal.
