3-0 for the Warriors. Going to be tough for Dallas.

Dallas need a centre. Powell was getting coooooked in P&R as usual. Weird that someone as athletic as him gets caught flat footed so many times.

Gobert anyone?

Yeah it's crazy the Mavs have made it this far with zero production from their bigs and no shot creation from any forwards.

They've needed an upgrade at centre for years. They need a lob threat for Luka and someone that can protect the paint. Gobert isn't an ideal fit but he'd be a huge upgrade for them and will almost certainly be traded.

Just on paper they need rim protection at the least. They give up so many easy buckets it's honestly crazy they made it this far with such an average team. Suns choked bigggggg time.

Celtics/Heat winner is the next champion tbh. The more I see Warriors the more shocked I am they are even going to be in the finals. I think it says more about how weak the West has been and how badly impacted by injuries they've been as well (Lakers, Nuggets, Suns, Memphis).

Yeah they've had an easy road. The Western Conference playoffs have been rubbish. Could be a bad thing for them as they won't be used to the intensity or physicality of Miami or Boston.

It will be interesting to see how the finals are reffed because the Eastern teams are basically playing NFL at the moment. I can't imagine the refs will let Steph get roughed up the same way.

The problem with all of the blowouts is that the team that loses gets so embarrassed and the media all write them off saying the series is over.. Every time the next game is must win. So now I expect Miami to do the same next game and win by 15-20. I hope I'm wrong and we get a close game for once.

Once again Robert Williams showed the impact he has. He misses every second game. When he plays, the Celtics look unstoppable. When he doesn't, teams can attack the paint and outrebound them and the offense relies on too many contested shots.

I hope he can stay healthy the rest of the playoffs but even in this game he was hobbling.

As predicted the Heat are getting killed in the media. Now they're going to come out even more fired up in game 5. I can see another blowout win for Miami for that reason. Pride and desperation has dictated who wins games in this series..
