NFT: NBA Playoffs thread

The Warriors/Pelicans series is full of young star level talent....Curry, Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Tyreke Evans, Drue Holiday, Draymon Green....that will be a fun series to watch

I'm glad the Pelicans got in. I think they can definitely give the Warriors more problem than the Thunder.

Anthony Davis is the best big on the floor by a huge margin. When you have the hands down best big in a playoff series, your team will always have a chance. I think the Pelicans have the potential to steal a game or two.

Wizards vs. Raptors are so evenly matched. Two mid-level teams led by stud PGs. Both of those PGs have played poorly in this game so far. Old man Paul Pierce is why the Wiz have a lead now.

.

to turn on an NBA game until the final 5 minutes. Meltdown underway for the Wizards

He is criminally underrated.

hasn't touched the ball in about 5 minutes, meanwhile Beal keeps firing brick after brick. Absolutely awful offense by Washington

Damm.

that was that flopped for Washington trying to draw a charge deserved Vazquez making a three as a result of him flopping like a fish across the court leaving him wide open

please explain to me what the fuck Washington has been doing the last 5 minutes? Each offensive position is worse than the previous one. What the fuck are their players and coaches doing?

Randy Wittman isn't a good coach.

not realize they had enough time to catch and shoot?

finally touches the ball and hits a three

in what seemed like a minute.

have just dominated the first half. AD is frustrated.

Good.

Evans out. AD stinking it up. No chance.

I'll disagree with Osi and say I think I rather see Westbrook shoot it 50 times a game to kep up with GS.

.

I'd be nervous right now, but losing games they shouldn't in the fourth quarter isn't a part of the Warriors' DNA anymore.

Fun to watch. Game.

I'm envious of those in NOLA who see him on a daily basis. They're watching an all time great at the beginning of his career.

exhibit A games illustrating why Green is going to get a max contract.

And the Bulls will get him in the prime of his career!

Davis is just incredible.

Is still unkind to the Dubs -- they either don't get there much, or get there a lot and miss.

GS up 1-0.

Bucks-Bulls next.

Besides being from Chicago, why would Davis consider Chicago? What are the rumors?

Hometown, bigger market. Thats a good enough start.

We'll see. I hope he stays in NOLA. I'm a sucker for dudes who stay with one team their entire careers.

35/7 with 4 blocks on 13-23 shooting... highlighted by 18 pts in the last 5 mins to make it a tight game. This guy is special.

But the Warriors are just too damn good, especially Curry. Such a deep and talented team. I think the Pelicans can steal a game or two in this series, but I'd be shocked if they even got to a Game 7.

Can't wait for Rockets-Mavs tonight. I fucking hate the Mavs and I've waited 10 years for a playoff series rematch. I feel pretty confident, I think the Rockets are the more talented team and deserve to be the favorites. But I'm nervous about two things. #1, Carlisle is the 2nd best coach in basketball to Pop while McHale is fairly average. #2, the 15% chance of "Playoff Rondo" making a return scares me. Playoff Rondo is a mofo to deal with, I really hope that guy doesn't exist anymore. Harden needs a signature series as "the guy", I hope he brings it.

worst 3 point shooter, and he keep chucking him.

Bucks will be reckoned with soon.

Bucks are gonna become everybody's favorite Eastern Conference team sometime in the next 20 months.

Damn. Looking better than '11 MVP.

is so great. thats all he should do.

with the ball, he passes it, 3 dribbles later he calls an offensive foul.

Thats poor officiating. Call the foul when he got mugged , and no elbows are thrown.

.

expect a lot of Hack-a-Shaq'ing in the Rockets/Mavs and Clippers/Spurs series.

I think this could be the playoffs that cause the NBA to finally find a solution to the Hack-a-Shaq.

Your 3 centers might have the lowest free throw shooting percentage in the history of basketball. Did your 3rd string center make a FT yet?

is mad.

hitting 4/8 shots the last 2 games of the year iirc. He's also a 60% FT shooter in the NBDL so I think it was just nerves for him.

His name is Clint Capela btw, and he's a legitimately impressive young Center. I hope he gets minutes in this series.

Where will be coaching next season? It won't be Chicago.

Oladipo is going to become a star under Thibs.

If they could somehow get Towns...

Payton
Oladipo
Harris
Towns
Vucevic

Top 4 seed in the east within a year or 2.

Bulls did what they had to do. Shot incredibly well from 3. Little sloppy with TOs. But Rose attacked more than he has this year, which is a great sign.

Good early.

Drive up the court uncontested.

the most watchable player in the league when he's feeling it. Such a smooth game.

I love Thomas too. He has been great for Boston.
