Halftime of Heat-Hornets.
The following shot chart should be unsustainable, and Charlotte should have a chance to make a comeback and win Game 2. But we'll see. (Rooting for the Dukies, so hoping Miami continues to scorch.)
Just a reminder, but JJ is continuing his Vertical Podcast throughout the playoffs:

His recent guest is Ben Winston, and you can definitely tell he's professional comedian vs. JJ's usual athlete guests. Lots of insights from JJ and it's interesting to see how much he's matured and become self aware during his NBA career. JJ's podcasts skills, like his shooting game, are improving and he's doing a much better job of letting his guests tell their stories. Good listen to have on in the background.

JJ has 8 points in the first 4 minutes of the Clips game. Not bad.
Sadly, he missed the FT after this bit of wonderfulness.
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Good games all around. JJ with his usual hot start. Want to give a special shoutout to MP2, who's having a great game on O and D. Caught a bunch of his games this year and he fits really well with this team. He plays a hybrid point-forward/center. He's athletic enough to keep it fast paced with Dame and CJ but can also protect the rim. Plus, he can push the pace and bring it up court himself and I think he might have led all big men in assists. Not a bad pickup for the Blazers after LMA left. I think he'll be a major cornerstone of the 'rebuild' in Portland (one of the highest-seeded rebuilds ever, probably).

Love how the numbers have changed now ... FIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS BABY!
Wish they hadn't stopped him about Kyle haha
Harrison STILL comes across like a huge douche.
Duke 5 - UNC 4*
Demarre Carroll looks much healthier and he's held down Paul George in this game. Pacers don't have enough alternate sources of scoring to compete. This series could easily end in 5.
Actually, all of the first round has been uncompetitive so far. Would not be totally surprised by the following results:
East - Cavs in 5, Raps in 5, Heat in 5, Hawks in 5
West - GSW in 5, Spurs in 4, OKC in 5, Clips in 5
By random chance, one of these series should go to 6 games, though.
(Note: With the Warriors, if Curry continues to be out, I could see Houston stealing a game.)
i give GS a 90% chance they win last night with curry just being in on the last play...

I guess 0.7 is enough for a catch and shoot.
Nice 42-point game from Isaiah Thomas last night to deliver coach Brad Stevens his first playoff win in six tries. A scrappy effort without Avery Bradley and Kelly Olynyk.
