Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
The Raptors are playing like a team that has its season on the line. The Celtics aren't playing a like a team that wants to end their season even more.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Heck of a game. Gotta wonder how much these teams will have left for game 7. Four players on each team played over 50 minutes tonight.

Celtics more talented....Raptors mentally stronger.

I think it also bears noting that Donovan kept the team somewhat peaceful during Westbrook's triple-double-chasing. While players seem to like Westbrook as a dude, you can't tell me his no-holds-barred stat-chasing didn't rub some teammates the wrong way. I think Donovan gets some credit for holding the team together, and making the playoffs, in the years where he had no choice but to yield to Westbrook's shenanigans.
I can see arguments for and against Donovan. I like him a lot, and I'll be interested to see where he ends up. I think he had a tougher hand dealt to him in OKC than is typically acknowledged.

Nuggets down 3-1. Got them right where they want them...
Who's really surprised, though? Granted, the Nuggets were banged up themselves - still are missing Barton, and that's a huge loss - but they had to go the distance to defeat a banged up, out-maned Jazz team. Much like Dallas , Denver can get hot and steal a game or two, but are not skilled enough defensively overall to overcome the loss of offensive firepower and hang with the Clips, Lakers or even an intact Rockets team over a seven game series.
And given that both Dallas and Denver were/are missing key players, I'll argue that, even factoring a decimated Portland team, even as the #1 seed, the Lakers have had a much tougher road to the Finals than the Clips. But them's the breaks.
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
Danuel House may miss the rest of the series. He, allegedly, caught a case of the knuckleheads. https://newsopener.com/nba-news/nba-...om-per-report/

"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
But you were/are not wrong. The Clips have the Nuggets on the ropes, and it would be in their best interest to finish them off in the next game. As for Denver, if they hope to extend this series, I'm beginning to believe the National narrative of ensuring that Michael Porter Jr. receives more minutes and shots, defense be damned.
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
The Capela trade was horrible. He kept the team respectable on the boards and in the middle. Lakers are outrebounding the Rockets 39-17.
