CLINCHERS ON MONDAY
On Monday, the Mavericks clinched a spot with a win. Plus, the Cavaliers clinched home court advantage in the east.
FINAL SPOT
KEY SCENARIO
For the final spot tonight between the Rockets and the Jazz, if both of them win or lose, we will go to the tiebreaker. If one team wins and the other loses, the winning team will clinch the final spot.
TIEBREAKER
If we do go to the tiebreaker, note that all three divisions have been clinched by other teams so this is what happens.
(1A) Better winning percentage in games against each other
(2A) Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division)
(3A) Better winning percentage against teams in own division (only if tied teams are in same division)
(4A) Better winning percentage against teams in own conference
(5A) Better winning percentage against teams eligible for playoffs in own conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position)
(6A) Better winning percentage against teams eligible for playoffs in opposite conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position)
(7A) Better net result of total points scored less total points allowed against all opponents (point differential).
Both would be tied at 1A, 2A, and 3A. But I have a feeling the Rockets have the tiebreaker at 4A should it go to it.

ONE PISSED OFF CROWD AT OKC
If there is one wild moment last night, it was in game two between the Mavericks and the Thunder. I don't know what I can say, but somehow this was an officiating disgrace! It seemed like the Mavericks were getting all the calls, and it had to have been a riot afterwards after what I had to deal with!
And thanks for that remark, Bill.

SPURS SWEEP GRIZZLIES
This is not a surprise. However, in the second quarter of game four today, there was a blackout. Please see this:
Anyway, another team can sweep and move on. If I do, I will edit this post, plus, I will do so with the NBA recap of the power outage.

CAVALIERS SWEEP PISTONS
First in a wild finish, the Pistons were hoping to get fouled to tie the game, but the Cavaliers won to sweep the Pistons.
STEPHEN CURRY OUT FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS
Although the Warriors are up 3-1, I have a terrible announcement. At halftime, Stephen Curry went down and was trying to run to the locker room. The MRI revealed a grade 1 MLC sprain, and he will be out for around two weeks.

HAWKS AND TRAILBLAZERS ADVANCE
This week, we have seen including late last night one good one. The Hawks kicked the Celtics to win the series 4-2. The Trailblazers survived against the ailing Clippers to advance.
TWO GAME SEVENS
We have two series that are tied at three. The final games in those are tomorrow. I am updating the top right now.

HEAT TO TAKE ON RAPTORS
Well, the Heat easily won their game seven. However, the Raptors almost blew it as the Pacers tried to comeback in the fourth quarter. Still, they won their first playoff series in 15 years.
TWO DOUBLE TECHINICAL FOULS, TWO EJECTIONS
 Although game one was boring, both Gerald Henderson of the Trailblazers and Anderson Varejao of the Warriors got to it. Unfortunately, I did not see it. If somebody would like to tell me what happened, please do.

YES! THIS IS TRUE! IT'S TRUE! ANOTHER SWEEP! The Cavaliers swept the Hawks 4-0 and I do apologize for not updating it with Reg's death. I will update it tomorrow if the Warriors beat the Trailblazers tonight.

RAPTORS ADVANCE TO THEIR FIRST EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
I thought it was good at first, but then the Raptors pulled away and it was not much. Their butt kicking tonight advances them to their first Eastern Conference Finals ever.
UPDATE AT THE TOP PLUS POSSIBLE LOTTERY
I will not update the top, but I have to now consider either to make a separate topic or keep it here for the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday night.

So glad the Heat got knocked out. Now I hope Toronto eliminates Cleveland and LeBron (ever so full of himself) James.

Go Dino, Beat Cavs!!!!!!
Clearly I have no future as a rap artist.

OUTRAGE IN LAST NIGHT'S GAME THREE
I THOUGH I SEEN IT ALL, BUT THIS?  They did call a flagrant type I on Green, but I think it deserves a suspension. If it works, I think this is needed a good look again.

CAVALIERS ADVANCE TO THEIR SECOND STRAIGHT NBA FINALS
Well, I am not sure how to say this at all, but it was another butt kicking by the Cavaliers against the Raptors. They kicked the Raptors to take the series 4-2 and advance to their second straight NBA Finals. However, I am watching now game six of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Thunder. If the Thunder win tonight, the Cavaliers will be the favorites.

WARRIORS COME BACK FROM A 3-1 DEFICIT TO ADVANCE TO THE NBA FINALS
Well, the finals are complete after a huge moment last night. The Warriors came back in the fourth quarter in the two games to win the Western Conference title. It will be a repeat of last year's NBA Finals and I will place the whole schedule up now.

First time since 2014 that the same two teams from the previous year's Finals meet again. LeBron James has now made six NBA Finals in a row, something that Bill Russell and the Celtics dynasty did over a half-century back, when they made ten straight, winning in the first one as well as the last eight.

TIME FOR THE CAVALIERS TO REALLY WORRY
After two butt kickings by the Warriors, and with Kevin Love questionable for game three. I am so worried that the Cavaliers might get swept. If they don't win game three the way this is going, I have a feeling it will be over for no NBA team has ever came back from a 3-0 deficit.

I'd love to see it happen, and see LeBron get his comeuppance once again in the Finals.
When it comes to sports, the city of Cleveland has been snake bitten since the Browns won the 1964 NFL Championship.

CAVALIERS FINALLY WIN ONE GAME
Well, it is about time! The Cavaliers kicked the Warriors 120-90 to cut the series lead to 2-1 and avoid a 3-0 deficit. However, tomorrow night's game four could be huge as well. If the Warriors win tomorrow night, they might really win the NBA title.

Cleveland won game 3, drat drat and double drat!
I think I need to start worrying now about how long this will last. The Warriors won 108-97, but still it was another butt kicking starting in the third quarter. With the Warriors now up 3-1, they are bigger favorites for I heard that no team in the NBA Finals came back from 3-1 to win the NBA title. |

DRAYMOND GREEN SUSPENDED FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S GAME FIVE
 I apologize for not mentioning the moment in game four which was a huge stir. Well, I think I can now mentioned what happened and what will happen. Draymond Green of the Warriors did the same thing to LeBron James in game four as he did to Stephen Adams in the Western Conference Finals. It was later ruled a flagrant foul type I by the NBA offices, and with that being his fourth overall, he is suspended for game five tomorrow night. I cannot explain in words on this, but the best way is to show you what happened like he did to Stephen Adams:
