It must suck to be up by almost 20 and know it's just a matter of time before you give up that lead and get smacked every step of the way. That's how it feels to play the Spurs and warriors. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
Isaiah Thomas' Sister Killed in One-Car Accident in Washington
The sister of Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas was killed in a single-car accident Saturday morning in Federal Way, Washington.
According to the News Tribune's Craig Sailor, Chyna J. Thomas, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident after the 1998 Toyota Camry careened into a barrier after the car drifted into the shoulder.
"That vaulted the vehicle head-on into the sign post," State Patrol spokesman Trooper Nick King said, per Sailor.
According to Washington State Patrol, Thomas was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.
"We are terribly saddened by the tragic loss of Chyna Thomas," the Celtics said in a statement Saturday, according to ESPN.com's Chris Forsberg. "The thoughts and prayers of the entire Celtics organization are with Isaiah and his family."
NBA commissioner Adam Silver also released a statement expressing his condolences:
Thomas and the Celtics are scheduled to open their first-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden.
Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe reported members of Thomas' inner circle will head to Boston on Sunday morning to be with the point guard. [Reply]
Not impressed at all with the Cavs win. I really hate that they've evolved into a run and gun offense. Their defense was dreadful. And we're seeing more and more that it's making it really difficult to protect leads. Even worse because they can't seem to hit free throws. They're lucky they have such an easy path in the east. With this defense, Golden State will rain 120+ easy. [Reply]

I'm afraid Kyle Lowry playing a bad game or even being a consistently bad playoff performer still doesn't make the Celtics or Wizards any kind of threat to knock LeBron out (or even any good at all). [Reply]

Not denying that. But he's still been the best player on an Eastern Conference finals team. John Wall and the Wizards have accomplished what in the playoffs again? [Reply]

Not gonna disagree with that either.. would have been nice to see Durant with Beal and Wall.
