Awesome firepower display by the Warriors. And KD is back. That's good news.

The team needs to be blown up and a do over is in order. On paper for the past few years that team should have been able to play with the best of teams. I have always felt they could be beaten in the first round of the play offs this year and it now seems possible
Imo, it's hard for the Clippers to go far without Blake, the old Blake, pre-punching Blake. The best year for the Clippers was their 2015 first round 7-game victory over the Spurs, where they dethroned the defending champions with Chris Paul's last second acrobatic shot. They have almost the same core this year, but the other guys seem inconsistent - Reddick, Jamaal,Rivers, Felton, Speights, their numbers are mostly small to be able to support the core players. Without Blake, they're hard up filling up his shoes, and winning games. Tough times for Doc. Wish him all the best.
I liked the old, pre-fight Blake as well. Have lost confidence in him of late. We shall see what happens.
Regarding the Celtics, seem like the ghost of Red Auerbach is back. Somebody turned off the hot water to the visiting Bulls' showers at the Garden after game 5.

Good luck to Larry Legend. It might have been ominous. My brother just got me a green Celtics T-shirt with Larry's face in the middle of it. I'm sure Ainge can offer him a spot, or his spot.

Better hang on to Danny. Bird was the better player but Ainge is the better GM.

My hats off to Brad Stevens for making the lineup change starting game 3, putting in a more athletic and better shooter in Gerald Green in place of a turtle like Amir Johnson. Green has provided them with the spark early on for each of the last 4 games. And the C's were finding their mark from the outside. Good sign. Next up is the Wizards, where blood will boil, basing on their past few meetings in the regular season. John Wall and Bradley Beal are playing on top of their games.
Clippers grinded out a win in Utah to level the series at 3-3. Chris Paul is THE man, and maybe the ONLY man for the Clippers who wills them to win.
Boston vs Wizards tomorrow. Tensions were high in their last 2 games in the reg season.
Toronto gets another crack at Cleveland. Hopefully adding beef in Ibaka and Caroll can change the series result.
Spurs vs Rockets. Antoni's system will meet a tough wall.

Succinct .....
The reality is I thought the Celts were initially outplayed and figured that being down 16 early in the 1st they would lose but what a gutsy comeback to win game one
As for the Clipps, I think we have all written their epitaph. I still believe change has to start at the top and the top 2 are doc. Many players will be elsewhere next year, Pierce played his last game and there is new ownership

BTW, my vote for Coach of the Year is to Brad Stevens
And how about Isaiah who plays the day after his sister's funeral and loses a tooth as well
