NBA playoffs
Oh my, that just happened.
In San Antonio last night, a crazy final few seconds – including at least one missed call and potentially a few others – left the OKC Thunder with a stunning 1-1 tie against the almighty Spurs. It’s the kind of drama these playoffs need.
Add to that the coin toss series between Miami and Toronto and the uncertainty of when Steph Curry may return, and the playoffs are about to get fun.
Side note: LeBron and the Cavs won Game 1 at home against the Hawks on Monday. It was an up-and-down performance – the Cavs squandered an 18-point lead before reclaiming a double-digit margin of victory. The Hawks got an insane performance from reserve point guard Dennis Schroder. It is also worth noting that no superstar since Shaq has been penalized for his physical superiority like LeBron. Dude is so strong driving to the basket that contact that would send a lot of players flying looks lighter than it actually is. In turn dude gets few calls. And that’s with LeBron flopping entirely too much.
