WCF Game 3 Takeaways: He's Back!

So uh…the Warriors are really good. They just won a game in the Western Conference Finals by 41 points. This series was supposed to be the de facto NBA Finals, and the Warriors just stole the Rockets soul. They saw what the Cavaliers did to the Celtics the night before and said, “Hold my beer.” People that watch the NBA are prone to overreacting after every game, so we went from “Warriors are sweeping” after Game 1 to “Houston’s taking it to 7” after Game 2 to just “THE F***I

ECF Game 3 Takeaways: The LeBrons Have Life

No matter how impressive the Celtics looked in the first two games of this series, we all knew that the Cleveland LeBrons weren’t going to get swept. What I don’t think a lot of us saw coming was the 116-86 shellacking that the Cavs (fine, I admit the “other Cavs” did enough to earn their team name back) put on the Celtics. Now, the Celtics lead 2-1, and we truly have a series on our hands. Like they say, a series doesn’t start until the home team loses a game (unless it’s a

Numbers and Notes after a 2nd Half Implosion in Game 2

At least the first half was promising. As well as Cleveland started, (mostly due to LeBron’s 21 on 4/7 from three), the Cavaliers limped into halftime after a Boston Celtics’ run to close the half in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. So, what happened? Some people were quick to point the shot LeBron took to the head at the end of the first half. After that, the Celtics outscored the Cavs 59-39 in the second half. However, there was a much larger problem that loomed ove

Takeaways From Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals

As most people expected, LeBron James had himself a night in Game 2 following his underwhelming performance in Game 1. Notching a triple-double, James scored 42 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out 12 assists. The downside, he also had six turnovers, which is equal to the total of the entire Boston Celtics team in Game 2. These few stats write the narrative for this series so far. LeBron goes off for 42 points and a triple-double, and still loses by 13. Boston has prov

The Golden State Warriors took down the Houston Rockets 119-106 in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, as the highly anticipated series did not disappoint in its opener. Here are my three takeaways from Monday night’s game Game 1. Buckle Up As promised, Game 1 was fast-paced. If you blinked you probably missed a shot attempt, and if you walked away from the screen for any real length of time you missed much more. With the talent all over the floor on both sides,

NBA Playoffs 2018: Conference Finals X-Factors

After a historic amount of player movement, a dramatic regular season and a thrilling first round of the playoffs, we’ve arrived at the conference finals with three of the same four teams who were here last year, seemingly on track for an NBA Finals rematch. It’s all a little disappointing, and feels a little predictable. But on the other hand, if I was writing this a week and a half ago, I would have been pondering how the young Philadelphia 76ers matchup with the Toronto Ra

NBA Playoffs 2018: The Celtics and Cavs Meet Again

What’s the Backstory? Well, here we are again. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers will meet for the second time in as many years in the Eastern Conference Finals (their third overall meeting in the past four postseason). While it’s no surprise LeBron James and the Cavs find themselves in position to make their fourth consecutive NBA Finals (it would be James eighth (!!!) as a player), the Celtics trip has been fraught with peril.
