Rooting for you, Cavaliers! Avenge Kawhi Leonard!
13 point easy win in Game 4 to make it a 3-1 series lead. The Cavs are only 1 win away from the NBA Finals match up against the Warriors.
The Cavs having to play at least one extra game might help them in the long run. The definitely will not be rusty in game one of the finals.

And I bet those 3 bad quarters (3 and 4 in Game 3 and 1 in Game 4) probably woke them up too. Which they probably needed, they were looking (and probably feeling) invincible before then. Over confidence would do them no favors against the Warriors.
Zaza's foot could be the winning factor again. It was Zaza's foot that won the series for the Warriors.
Last year I bet on Warriors winning finals, they were leading 3-1 and then went and lost 3 straight games :0
Who it going to be this year? On paper it's Warriors again but I won't fall for it again. Zaza, McGee and West are loser personalities and they will drag Warriors down but I will stay out of betting.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

Cavs will blow out the Celtics in Game 5. Expect a 20+ point margin. The Celtics are a couple of players short of being able to match it with the Cavs. A point guard with their first draft pick either: Markelle Fultz, De'Aron Fox, Lonzo Ball, the best talent are point guards with more size than Thomas. It is tempting to trade off Isaiah Thomas before his contract expires and get a big power forward/centre for the Celtics
Are the ZO2 basketball shoes worth the price they want for a pair of shoes of a college player who has never played in the NBA? ZO2 basketball shoes are more than double the price of premium basketball shoes of well known star players like Jordan, Kobe and KD, etc. Lonzo will only train for Laker and will only play for the Lakers. So it looks like Lonzo is destined to be the number 2 draft pick and become a Laker. Lavar Ball will be interesting character in the NBA as he continues to influence his son Lonzo.
I just want th ECF to end, so we can get it on to the real fight. The playoffs has been so predictable, it bored me to death.

Yeah, this was fun to watch for a while because...holy crap
But now it's time to put it to bed and move on. Oh well, the Celtics at least got one win, even though it required a perfect storm of good play by the Celtics and a complete and bizarre collapse of the Cavs for a half.
The Celtics gave up in Game 5 and never showed up. They had their chance in Game 4 but that rally by Cavs from 16 points down to win by 13 points killed the series. It is like James Harden getting blocked on his buzzer beating 3-pointer to force a a second OT and in the next game he did not turn up to play. NBA teams should be fighting out every single match and not giving up in Playoff matches.
