I think they always review flagrants to determine level 1 or 2.

They did review it. But if anyone else did that, it would be a 2 and a suspension. Embiid also kicked Robinson in the balls and gave a dirty punch to IH’s ribs.

Dallas is destroying the Clippers with size. Mavs in 5.

OKC is going to have a easy path to the Western finals - a NOP without Zion, then Dallas. Wish Wolves had that #1 seed

Dallas can easily beat them. The clippers just look old.

I’ve been saying all season the Clippers were paper tigers at best. They were terrific beating up losing teams, but their record against winning teams was one of the worst among playoff teams.

Clippers only down 2-1 even if the lose tonight's game but they play and act like they just loss the series. Maybe just how old people behaves.

I called it before will call it again, Mavs beat the Thunder in 6 or 7.

That is a bold call. I like OKC since beginning of the year once I see Holmgren can actual hold up and play.

Time will tell. I don’t see Chet being enough size. OKC will be doomed by size just like the Clippers, Suns, and others.

I don’t trust the Mavs size, but they lucked out having LAL, MIN and DEN all in the other half of their bracket.

I trust it against the Thunder.

Tonight is the last chance for the Lakers to win 1 against the Nuggets. Back to back sweeps would be extra embarrassing for the Lakers, so let’s hope they have an ounce of pride left in them.

They’d have a chance without DLo

Good news and bad news. The good news they have a 13 point lead over Denver. Bad news is historically that is equivalent to being down 10. They need to be up around 30 to 35 at halftime to win. Given how bad LAL has been in the 3rd and 4th.

Dlo is 6 of 10 for 15 points. Hard to complain about him tonight.

Let’s see what he does for the rest of the game. His postseason is still underwhelming even for him. He’s barely an MLE level player.

This Denver can’t beat these Wolves 4 times out of 7
