Looks like Boston-Dallas Finals.
- It's looking like the conference finals might both be 4 games too
  
  I could see both teams stealing a game or two to get a gentleman's sweep.
  
  These are the most boring conference finals I can recall in ages. And I thought last year was bad.
Timberwolves @ Mavericks
- Wolves were built to slow down (if not stop) an elite big man, but monkey's paw curls and they faced 2 elite guards in the next round.
- I didn't see Dallas being this good
  
  Me neither. I give Jason Kidd a lot of credit. He's got both Luka and Kyrie playing super hard on defense. Which is like making Derozan play defense. He's a better coach for this change than Casey or Pop.
- KAT has SUCKED bad in this game, and in the series (1st half almost over, he's got 1 point!).
Celtics @ Pacers
- Carlisle once again messing up by not calling a timeout. That's what, 2 games now in this series where it was his call that cost them the game? That last football style rush play was great execution, but they should've done that the play before.
  
  He should have called a time out late game when Celtics were on a run and his young guys weren't getting good looks.
- Hali out with hamspring.
