MRI to show extent of damage on Steph's knee soon..Stephen A Smith believes it is a serious injury and thinks he will miss a few games next series, if not the whole series. If this is true, it blows the door wide open for someone else to win the Finals.
Confirmed MCL sprain, Steph is out for two weeks meaning that he could be out potentially the next series. Spurs now bookie favourites to win it all. Damn Montejunas.
Crazier things have happened but I really can't see LA winning without CP3 and hobbled Blake. Dub nation will be hoping the series goes to 7 games and LA pull off an upset because a healthy Portland team with Lillard will certainly put the dubs in a precarious position.
Honestly surprised Portland haven't been getting much love since the playoffs started. They lost a couple of close ones to the Clips in regular season and even had a game where CJ didn't play cause of that stupid lineup mistake. If they do win this series like they should now, Portland could still push the Warriors. Lillard had games like 51, 40 and 38 against the Warriors in 3 of the 4 meetings this year, so his going to be a handful to deal with and with the extent of Curry's knee injury still needing to be reevaluated in 2 weeks. There is an opportunity there for the Blazers to get into the Conference Finals if they can execute. Their rise has to be arguably be one of the best stories of the season and hopefully theres more to come
This team kinda reminds me of the Warriors team 3 years ago when they first made the playoffs and had their backs against the wall when David Lee went down. Both teams fell behind in the series early, but with their minor adjustments in offensive approach they began to flourish
The Clippers played superb defense on Lillard the whole game, often trapping hard and double teaming him. He made crazy hard shots in the fourth, full credit to the Clippers for giving it a good run to win the game without their superstars.
Kemba has really lifted his game to a superstar level, but Wade was too good down the stretch..hasnt hit a 3 since December then makes two in a row. Ba boom.
