2 players ejected, 1 put out for the rest of the playoffs.... Dellavedova you're the real MVP and I can't say that I like it!!

Korver injury sucks no doubt. But to think he dove for loose ball and aimed for his knee is an absurd statement

The elbow wasn’t necessary but when it comes to your knee, that’s basically your career! Scary situation.. — Teddy Bridgewater (@teddyb_h2o) May 25, 2015
