Sports 2016 NBA Playoffs

I think I'm more depressed than any OKC fans. Just watched the Cavs title chances go right out the window. Sigh.
 
Was pulling for my boy Durant and OKC but I gotta hand it to Klay. He carried this team on his back and earned them a shot at the finals with one last game in Oakland. Curry was clutch late, but Klay is the reason this team is still alive.
 
Chokelahoma City returns with a vengeance.

KD and Westbrook should probably spend the summer trying to break their ISO heroball tendencies when games get down to the crucial final minutes.

I want the "best regular season ever" to be undisputed as the best season ever by Golden State winning the Finals this year.

Like in soccer, NBA players have flopping to draw a foul down to an art form. It's taking advantage of the refs not being able to have eyes on all spots of the court at all times. It got so prevalent that the league started to evaluate game footage for flops and then fine players for actions they determined were egregious acts of flopping in the 2014-15 season.

I wish they handed out techs or flagrant fouls to count against the player if they get caught flopping, not a fine of an inconsequential amount (for the NBA pros anyways).
 
Even if Cavs win games 5 and 6 I just do not see them being able to pull out a game 7 win in Oakland. This has been a pretty below average finals in terms of overall game quality imo.

This whole postseason has been blowout heavy. I think there have been about 20 blowouts of 25+ points so far, iirc. Can't remember the exact numbers from the infographic during the Game 3 win by the Cavs.
 
Kyrie had himself a game. At least we won't go down in less games than we did last year.
