Good morning. Let’s basketball.
Good morning. The Clippers really Clippered that up, didn’t they?
That and more in Monday’s NBA newsletter.
CLIPPERS GONNA CLIP: An epic collapse by the Clippers; an amazing comeback by the Rockets. Houston was down 19 points in the second half on the road in Game 6 ... and had won the series three days later. The Rockets ran the table at home in Sunday’s Game 7; the Clippers never led. L.A. really lost this series on Thursday in Game 6. They just looked super tight on Sunday. James Harden looked excellent.
For Chris Paul, who was the best Clipper on Sunday, it’s another year he’s fallen short of the conference finals, which is A Thing.
Here’s CP3 leaping onto Dwight Howard, as one does, set to “Pony.” PLAYOFF GINUWINE.
THE FINAL FOUR: Cavs and Hawks in the East (series begin Wednesday on TNT), Warriors and Rockets in the West (series begins Tuesday on ESPN).
COME ON KYRIE: Kyrie Irving is listed at day-to-day due to the knee injury that has been hobbling him. He didn’t practice this weekend.
HELP WANTED: Where the three head coaching openings stand.
CLASSY? LOL: Mark Cuban admits that the Rockets, in fact, are very good. Big of him.
CHICAGO’S FUTURE: An argument that the Bulls and Tom Thibodeau need to patch things up.
REAL TALK: This is a very good dunk.
Happy Monday. See you next time.
