Summary

Everyone was counting the Los Angeles Clippers out after the Kawhi Leonard injury but Paul George shows up big! Can he continue his hot play and repeat his game 5 performance? Why Utah possibly squandered a golden opportunity. How about those Atlanta Hawks?! They rally from 26 points down to beat the 76ers and take a 3-2 series lead. The Trae Young coming out party continues and just how important is Lou Williams to the Hawks' success? We need to discuss Doc Rivers and theses Sixers... Doc has some history with blown leads. Why hasn't Ben Simmons developed a better shooting form? And is Joel Embiid wearing down? Kevin Durant put on a playoff performance for the ages as the Nets are one win away from taking care of Milwaukee. How questionable coaching decisions are hurting the Bucks. And why it's time for Giannis to make a statement like KD did. MLB is not messing around with their crackdown on the "sticky stuff". Was it the right call to do this mid-year? Golf's US Open gets underway... Can Phil strike again?

0:34.7	where the playoffs keep surprising us in different ways.

1:02.8	show up. Well, because the game starts off. I mean, the first half, we have a tail of two halves,
1:07.7	as we often do in basketball. Yes, it's true about what George did, and I want to get to the fact that the acolytes were as much the story to me as Paul George,
1:17.2	namely Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson.
1:19.2	But they had to withstand an absolutely sick, amazing barrage of three-pointers in the first half.

1:36.7	interesting game. That's all. It was very interesting. I agree that the Clippers showed,
