Well it’s game 7. Do or die. I write this post before the game even starts to sorry for what is really the lack of suspense. I grab the tweets as they come so it’s not like I watch the game and then hunt for highlights. Anyway, in game 7’s, the first six games really don’t matter. It’s like watching a football game in a sense. Anybody can win. Anything can happen. The stakes are so high. So let’s see what’s going on in the world of Twitter:

"Why is it a blowout? Is this game 7 to the Pacers? They do know they bouta be at home on the couch right.."
