The chance to finished is series @ home is very possible, and if you have that momentum for sure you'll grab all the opportunities to make your fans loves you more.

PG has been criticize no longer new to him, he just shut all those people who called him that alias, after this monster performance for sure a lots of expectations from him to continue the chase of lifting the team winning this series.

Congrats Clippers, one more win for the WCF finals.

Rockets are good in this season

Paul George has been criticised for his performance against the Mavs, even calling him Pandemic George. So it's just a matter of time before he really step up, just sad that it somewhat needed for Kawhi to get injured. Morris Sr and Reggie Jackson also was in the zone, hitting 3's to dosed Utah rally in the fourth quarter.

But in any case, they hold off a strong Utah Jazz in their homecourt, but the series is not over yet although Clippers is just a game within.

The 2 top 1 seeded in team in both in Eastern and Western Conference are in the verge of getting a second round exit because they have been beaten by their opponents.
What an upset for both of these 2 teams.

76ers got a highest lead of 26 and leading most of the game but they didn't have any gas coming into the 4th quarter. The Hawks came back erasing the deficit little by little until they got the lead. What's worse is looks like Embiid is the one who is responsible on both of their losses. In Game 4 he shot 0/12 in the second half causing their losses and again in Game 5, he missed the 2 most crucial free throws. Ohh I forgot, they have a coach that  choked in the Bubble last year and he has a MVP candidate who choked too at the time where he is badly needed. A perfect combination . I might say some harsh words but its true .

Now on the other hand, this is more upsetting than the other game because their main superstar Kawhi didn't play but PG13 alongside Jackson and Morris did the almost impossible and won the game at road. It looks like PG13 still got the momentum that he had in their last 2 games and I'm just glad that he got some support from his teammates. Almost all 5 starters of the Clippers are in double figures and.. what can I say. Just a wonderful performance to them .

Now both the top 1 are in the verge of getting eliminated because they lose their must win game on their home. What are the adjustments that they will do in the next game??
Brooklyn Vs Milwaukee Game 6 at Bucks home court tomorrow. Who are you betting into this?

They have nothing to lose against the Sixers today in their home court. So they just play their usual game and then the pressure was put to the Sixers, they melted away, can't buy a basket or two, while Trae has having a field day.

Paul George is the next best option, it was a tough game and it was a complete turn around. Utah tries to comeback buy they have answered and weathered the storm. They probably close it out next game in their home court and set up a Phoenix vs Clippers for the WCF.

Surprising results in today's meetings. Before starting the 76ers-Hawks series, I was not giving the Atlanta team a great chance. Meanwhile, Trae Young is leading his team to another victory despite Joel Embiid being unstoppable again.
In the Jazz-Clippers game, I didn't give the guests any chance when I found out about Kawhi's injury. However, Paul George shows that he can also play in the playoffs as befits one of the leaders.

PG should repeat this performance in the next game. By the way, the Clippers won 2 out of 3 games versus the Suns during the regular season. So I also doubt that the Suns can easily beat the Clippers, considering that they probably will start playing WCF without Chris Paul.

Now that's what you call unexpected especially for the Clippers team stepping up with Kawhi out of the game.
A big win for them and so does the Hawks coming back from an enormous deficit.

Bogdanovic and Clarkson were hot for the Jazz but damn, PG13 can melt all that heat they are producing.
What's their next step? Royce Oneal cannot handle him. Gobert is also a problem being attached to the rim and doesn't want to go up and defend.
I wish Coach Snyder reacted better on that small lineup input of the Clippers. Take Gobert out and trust the bench.

That's what I'm talking about pg needs to play like in pacers days, but now the jazz is on the ropes, they need to do something and shows up as the first 2 games of the series, Mitchells seems to be bothered by something i don't know maybe he's not that 100% after all, Clarkson, they need to adjust with the clippers defense if not, then being at the top of the standings are all that they can show, to the fans, to early for them to exit.

Playoffs PG just show us that he can do his thing again, glad they got the win and hoping that the homecourt advantage the next time will make it close to advance on WCF.

I'd doubt that for now.

Who would have thought that both home teams and huge favourites today lose after solid first halftimes.

Philly was just crazy and the 2nd half of Utah is also a joke. How does Utah lose against a team which misses the best player on both offence & defence. They gave up so many points through technical fouls, and 1s and then miss 8 fts themselfes. All this combined is like 14-18 points that are missing or gifted.

With his performance today Donovan Mitchell validated why he was "snubbed" from the all NBA teams.

Well, if LA goes to the wcfs then Phoenix will go to the finals, with or without KL.

Yes, if you look at the body language of the Sixers team, this is a big demoralizing lost for them.

The fans are all celebrating with that 18 point lead at the start of the 3rd and yet it seems that the basket was so small. Kudos to the Hawks defense on Embiid and then they bounce back inch by inch cutting the lead in the 3rd quarter and completing a massive comeback with a 14-0 run in the 4th.

Seth Curry was on fire, but he cooled off too. I'm most concern on Joel, it seems that he has aggravated that knee again in the 3rd when he try to go for a block on Trae or Lou's attempt. Too bad for those who have Sixers -6.5 handicapped.

That's why when there is much time left, you can still hope for the win and that's what we have witnessed earlier. The Atlanta Hawks have a chance to end the series on their home court in game 6 if the 76ers will not change the way they played in the last quarter of the game. They forgot that they are now on the second round of the NBA playoffs where every win is crucial and now they need to win the next game or else Embiid will cry on his way to the locker room again.

Yeah that was insane.  Not only did they come back from 26 down but they were down 18 to kick off the 4th quarter.  You have to shave off a 1.5 points every minute just to tie it up.  Besides embid and Seth the rest of the team flopped.  Seth was on fire.  Game wasted now they have to win on the road to force a game 7. 

What can we say, it was a complete collapse from the 76'ers, it was a great comeback. One of the best comeback in this year's playoff. The Nets starring Durant came back from 16 points down. Now, Trae Young and the Hawks down 26, trim down the lead in the third and then shutdowns the Philly with tough defense.

One of the best playoff games with a comeback is Lakers vs Portland. I can't remember what year it was, but it is where Kobe lob pass to Shaq.

Unbelievable game between the Sixers and the Hawks. Atlanta down 26 points, but then Lou Williams and Trae Young combine bring the team to a comeback and now they've taken a one point lead with 1:26 left.

I can't fathom Sixers can't even score a basket in the last 7 minutes of the game. And if they loss this game, I think they are done in the series. Because they have been broken mentally specially that this game is in their homecourt.

I totally agree with you. Durant is a type of player that when you need him, he will be there.
I think if he continues with that performance I also think he will win the MVP of the finals if the Nets get there

I can't believe it, the Suns can hardly beat the Jazz or Clipppers without CP3.

I feel bad about that, when CP3 is out of the playoffs because of injury, now he will have to "walk away" because of covid-19
when the team most needs CP3 help, there are great chances it won't play

Thanks, bro.
And I thought all the players was vaccinated before they let fans in. Why are they keeping some information from us, like just tell the media if he was vaccinated or not.
I believe the reason for the spread of Covid-19 was with one of the players last week. They won't name the player also so it's really a mess out there.
Could this be the new way on how to make NBA more interesting? 

76ers is really different when they are playing at home. You can see their strength when fans are on their side.
52-32 with 4 minutes on the first half.

It's such a hard news to hear for the Phoenix Suns after a quite good playoff run.

I am rooting for them to at least reach the NBA Finals. I don't what this means for the Suns without CP3. I mean he's the most vital piece for this good playoff run.
The NBA is bugged with either an injury or safety health protocols disabling players to play the most important games in the NBA. Dang it!

It is really bad news that Kawhi isn't going to be able to play for a very long time as he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Clippers did so good in the last two games of the series. Now, their job is absolutely going to be even harder without Kawhi. I've started having a feeling like Jazz will make use of this situation and manage to eliminate Clippers in this tough series.
