Indiana tie the series as expected. They will win the series, but who will be waiting for them? The Chicago-Washington tie took another twist as Nene is suspended for game 4.

Just saw this today and found it absolutely shocking. Sometimes I feel closet racists like this guy are even worse than the loudmouths, because of the way they hide it so well and justify the reasons to themeslves to the point of delusion.
You might have expected it but I didn't! Comeback victory, showed a little life, I'll take it!
It's disgusting, that's some serious high level racism. I hope he's forced to sell the team or leave LA or is pelted with eggs in front of the person whose respect he most wants.
I know you're frustrated but come on. There is just too much quality in that team for them to lose to a 38-44 team in a 7-game series. And as far as I'm concerned, they're still the strongest team the Heat might face in the East (although the Nets have been annoying lately).
I think Washington will be able to give them more to think about than Chicago in the next round, and for this reason I'm cheering for Washington now, but without Nene the next game will be tough, and if Chicago wins it, then Chicago will definitely be the favorites to win the series.
Vinsanity!
DID ANYONE SEE THAT? WHAT A CLUTCH SHOT BY VINSANITY!
Mavs lead the series 2-1 against Spurs. Brilliant Game.

Going down in Memphis. Brilliant series.
Durant and Westbrook shooting 10-41.
Nene sort of had a brain fart. No idea what he was thinking. Sunday will be tough without him-and losing 2 at home puts Chicago on the front foot. Can see this series going to seven games.
This is an excruciatingly long overtime period.
OKC level the series 2-2.
What a series this is turning out to be!
Reggie Jackson with a massive massive performance. That hug from KD said it all.

Just found out about the comments from the Clippers owner and its absolutely disgusting. If confirmed to be legit then swift and firm action needs to be taken against him. The rest of the series will be really tough for the Clippers fans, coaching staff and the players, its a very tricky situation to be in.
To actual ball news I managed to catch the Pacers Hawks game live yesterday due to the early start time. Paul George hit some BIG shots same goes for David West. I was really impressed with PG he wanted the ball and he wanted to step Hawks might dispute some calls towards the end but I think it was a fair result at the end.

On the Donald Sterling thing, I'm not sure what actions should be taken against him. It's not exactly illegal to be privately racist or anything. The fact that Doc Rivers is the Clippers coach and Chris Paul is their star player shows that it's not really affecting the way he handles the actual franchise right.

Pretty sure there is a law against racism, no idea what the punishment is though. And there are probably rules for league owners, he could be in for a huge fine.
I'd think most of the damage would take place in lost fans and revenue. I couldn't root for his team.
It would probably be best if the fans boycotted the games next season, refused to buy season tickets until he sold the team.
There is no law against racism. The NBA could force him to sell though.
Well there really ought to be a law. At least discrimination is illegal.
There oughtn't.
Steph Curry!
Memphis should have taken the game. They will never have it that good, with both Durant and Westbrook going cold.
Curry is phenomenal by the way.
What a move by Griffin.
Even on a shitty stream, the Warriors are fun to watch.
Raptors tie it up! Lets get it boys!!
Best first round in the playoffs since.....
The most disgusting thing about Sterling's racist remarks is the way he addressed the fact that he employs them. He said he "feeds them, clothes them" etc. like they were his property. The NBA really should do something, I don't know what they can do but the man should be nowhere near the sport. This is a sport dominated by African-Americans and to be publicly racist towards them is really gonna make owning a franchise difficult. Fair play for their response to it.
What a game 4 between Portland and Houston! Overtime yet again, big plays all the way through the 4th quarter until the very last seconds. Its 3-1 to the Blazers and most would write off Houston now but i'd still give them a sliver of a chance to take it to game 7. Rockets seem to have no team spirit at all even with the big plays they had I could hardly sense any excitement from them unlike the Blazers. I expect Portland to go through but with this round you just never know easily the best 1st round playoffs i've ever witnessed.
I'm not familiar with US law, but I'll be surprised if there is actually a law against being a racist. Now, if they can prove that he is promoting white people within the franchise, not hiring black people etc, then yeah that would be illegal. I'm just saying that if there isn't proof that he is actively using his power and position to discriminate against black people (or any particular race), then really I'm all for doing nothing.
Miami are on course for a 4-0 sweep while Indiana are struggling BIG TIME against Hawks. Down by 25 points with its 2 mins left in second quarter. Atrcoious display by them.
I can't wait to hear the crowd at halftime.
Woo, go Pacers. Definitely gonna win the series, right?
Atrocious second quarter by Indiana. Pretty sure it was 28-6 in the second quarter at one point.
Miami win the series 4-0. Complete sweep. They're a different juggernaut in play-offs. And, LeBron man, what a beast he is!
Meanwhile Pacers are down by 30 points.

wooo
If the hole they dug in the second quarter was a little less deep than it was (30 to be exact) they would have won the game.
Atlanta exploded from 3 this time (shooting more than 50% from beyond the arc), but those explosions don't happen that often. Don't count Indiana out yet. There is still a fight in this team and they showed it in the end.
Atlanta on the other hand don't have the experience (or the quality to be honest, especially without Horford) to close them out.
Game 7 in Indiana and Indiana should win it.
It's all about match-ups. Miami are something like 19-0 and are unbeaten by Charlotte since the big 3 era. The real test will begin in the next round against the Raptors or the Nets.
Is it this summer that Bron-Bron can opt out of his contract?
Any ideas where he may go? I was hoping it would be the Lakers, but that seems almost impossible.

He will stay in Miami I think.
Hearing rumours he recently bought property in Detroit.
