That was the best game I've ever seen Brook Lopez play in the NBA. He absolutely dominated the paint.
The Bucks used Portis and Lopez to dominate the paint against the Hawks in Game 5.
If I'm allowed to talk about non-Stanford NBA playoff matters... Everyone will talk about Chris Paul scoring 41 with no turnovers agains the Clippers in their Finals clinching win, but the reality is they don't win that game without DeAndre Ayton dominating the paint for the Suns.
My point is everyone talks about basketball being a 3pt shooting game now. This may be true in the regular season, but the last two playoffs have demonstrated you can always win by dominating the paint.

Just to be clear, there is no prohibition against talking about non-Stanford matters. We only ask that posters not talk about political matters and that posters be judicious about starting new threads about non-Stanford matters. Neither was the case here, so there is no problem talking about the Suns/Clippers game.
