Pacers lose to the Cavs by a point in the opener. Had a chance to win it, but CJ Miles blew it.
Bucks blew the Raptors at Toronto.
Jazz getting a buzzer beating win over the Clippers at LA. But Gobert got injured, and is likely to be out for the series.

Greek Freak is insane.
If Gobert comes back, I fancy the Jazz to take the series.
Even without him, they will take the series down to the wire I reckon. Quin Snyder is an excellent coach, and the Jazz play tough defense.
Clippers are, well, the Clippers. They'll lose in the next round even if they do get past the Jazz.
I think you get full highlights of most games on YouTube within like an hour or two.
I wonder if Ainge regrets not giving up some draft picks now ?
Who shot like 4-50000 in the 4th quarter!
I wonder what he does if he gets a top 2 pick in this draft. Does he draft Fultz/Ball, and trade IT? Or does he trade the pick for George or Butler?
Does Butler even go the Celtics if he topples them in the first round this year?
Yeah read some stat that in the first half when they lead by 4 he'd had 8 assists. In the second half he had 2, and they lost by 4.
The first round of the playoffs seems to be going along the lines of the old NBA adage - the team with the best player wins.
Butler and Giannis are the best two players in their respective series aren't they ?
I don't see Butler going but i'd imagine the Celtics is the likeliest trade spot for George.
How much of IT's playoff displays is down to his recent bereavement and how much is down to the fact that teams are just planning better for him ?
If its the latter you take Fultz or Ball surely
Did I mention that the Bucks blew the Raptors in Game 3. Great stuff.
The potential of this Bucks team is immense. Giannis could be the best player in the league in another 3 years. Thon Maker seems to have a ton of defensive potential, even though he is pretty raw right now. Middleton is a very solid 2nd / 3rd option, and plays solid defense as well.
If Jabari Parker comes back from injury, and plays as well as he was earlier, he's the ideal third wheel to Giannis and Middleton.
The concern of course is whether they'd be able to retain all this talent in free agency. They're a small market team, and they've never been an attractive free agency destination. Also, they need to get a better coach than Jason Kidd.
If the chips all fall in place, they could be a special team.

OKC (Russ) had a poor 4th quarter and they ended up 5 points down with 21 seconds on the clock.
The Rockets intentionally fouled Adams who nailed the first FT and then on the second they did this:
And they fucked up immeidately afterwards on defence ensuring they lost.
I jumped out of my seat when Russ nailed that 3
