Collectively, we jinxed him.Curry's 38 points lead Warriors to Game 1 win over Clippers

It helps that in the series where I have a preference (6 of 8) I've purely coincidentally picked the lower seed every time. In the other 2 the favorites, Philadelphia and Milwaukee, are also leading. Denver (#2) vs. San Antonio (#7) is the only series tied at 2-2. 18-6 in the playoffs now.Vrede too wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 5:46 pmGo:
Milwaukee or DetroitHouston > UtahBucks win first playoff series in 18 years, give Pistons longest playoff-game losing streak in NBA history
... The Bucks left no doubt, beating Detroit by 35, 21, 16 and 23. This is just the second four-game sweep with every game won by at least 15 points in NBA history (Celtics over Rockets in 1980).
The sweep gives the Pistons sole possession of the longest playoff-game losing streak of all-time, 14 games
Detroit’s streak includes 2009 and 2016 sweeps by the Cavaliers, meaning the Pistons have now gone 11 straight seasons without winning a playoff game. That’s one of the longest such droughts of all-time ...
Houston lead series 3-0. No one has ever come back from 3 down.

Unstoppable Kevin Durant drops 50 on Clippers, propels Warriors to second round
“I’m Kevin Durant. You know who I am. Y’all know who I am.”
The Clippers knew exactly who Durant was before this series started. Everyone did. That’s a very different thing than stopping him.
“I promise we tried…” Lou Williams said after Durant dropped 50 on the Clippers and ended their playoff run. “We tried everything. We tried everything.”
Just two nights before, on Wednesday, Durant set a personal new career playoff high scoring 45 points. It wasn’t enough, the Warriors lost.
Friday night he upped his game, scoring 38 points in the first half and 50 for the game.
That was enough. The Warriors won 129-110, taking the series 4-2.
The Warriors will start their second-round showdown with a well-rested Rockets team Sunday in the Bay Area....
