    I'm enjoying the Cavs being put away in 5. At least the Rockets are not in misery anymore. I hope the Thunder lose the series against the Nuggets as well. I'm even enjoying watching the Celtics melt down against the Knicks.

    Also, hoping that Warriors are also put away in 5 while we are at it. They may not have been a #1 or #2 seed, but F them for all the league allows them to repeatedly get away with.

    Pacers vs NY is a classic ECF series. I enjoy Haliburton's game, they need to stop saying he's overrated honestly.

    64 wins getting gentlemen’s swept in the 2nd round to the 4th seed

    Rockets won 65, when they lost in 7 games to the super warriors

    Everybody wrote the Pacers off after the bad start, but they've low key been elite for a while now.

    Cleveland always had regular season paper tiger written all over them. They had absurd shooting, once that regressed back to a reasonable level they've been far more beatable, albeit still really good.

    So I'm not shocked at the end result, but I am pretty surprised it was this easy for them.

    Mitchell and Garland foul baiting while Haliburton kept going for their hearts and Indy is so well put together

    And they play fast and everyone has a green light but they look for Hali first …

    Ime would of benched Mitchell several times cause his rotations was late and awful during Indy comeback

    It would be cool if Clutchfans would let other fanbases register or show their team loyalty or logo for different discussions, and no confusion they aren't pure Houston fans,

    Missing 3 of your 5 best players for the first half of the series would be devastating for any team. And then after they came back still limping, their best player in Mitchell got injured bad. Pacers were the better team but Cavs had some terrible, terrible luck and timing. Thems the breaks though.

    Loser Mitchell strikes again. I haven't hated a player more than him since Kyrie Irving. But at least Kyrie was clutch. Mitchell forgets he has teammates, apparently. It's either win on my terms or get bounced. Oh yeah, the year that Kawhi magically got healthy during a contract year is up there too. That guy is a too much.

    Mitchell doesn't have "it"

    If we traded for him, we'd be de facto relying on a choker to be our #1 option.

    Someone was overrated in this series. A few players actually.

    I heard this the other day but I just looked it up - he does kind have a ridiculous number of high scoring playoff games - he has 4 40 pointers & 3 50 pointers - that's basically up there with Steph.
