NFT: NBA Playoffs thread

another clutch 4th quarter from him. Wizards up 3-0 now.

Spurs up 8 on the Clips at the half. Huge 2nd half coming up.

wins the series. Not going out on a limb or anything, but it feels that way.

I think they're capable of coming back from down 2-1. But yea, tonight's game is enormous and the winner becomes the clear favorite to advance.

picking up where he left off last year

an awesome young player.

The Clips are in deep shit. They need to cut that lead in half by the end of the quarter.

The Clippers simply choked. What a pathetic 2nd half performance.

to the nets game today... 2 rows back. hoping we last through at least half the game!

how the NBA Playoffs is not being shown on ABC, on a Saturday afternoon.

Arguably the best player since MJ, arguably a Top 5 player of all-time, hands down one of the best teammates ever.

hitdog and his daughter are probably 1/30 of the crowd today at the Net game.

& not mailing it in.

Deron Williams sucks.

ever.

Who you got as your top 5? Gets harder as years go on... I dont know if I have Duncan top. maybe 7-8.

All-Time is Jordan + the 3 GOAT Centers (Russ/Wilt/Kareem). 5th place is so tough to pick because of all the guys in contention, including Duncan.

Post-80 (aka post-Magic/Bird), I'd rank them in tiers like this...

Jordan
Duncan/Magic/Shaq/Bird/LeBron
Hakeem/Kobe
Garnett/Dirk/Malone/Barkley/Robinson

Duncan might be the 2nd best player of the Modern Era (post-80/3pt line).

should be boucned for that. F'n idiot.

Hope you and your girl had a good time. Nice win, showed atleast a little toughness.

If I could be the GM on any team in the NBA, I think I might go to the Bucks. They're just a few years and a few tweaks away from being formidable.

Rose looks good. Bulls need to re-sign Butler and go all-in on the Rose/Butler backcourt. That could potentially rival Golden State as the best backcourt in the league if Rose really is back.

and we are all living in it.

Butler.

I can't believe he's become such a good offensive player.

his Orlando teams can keep other teams in the 70s.

but he is worlds better where he was in the middle of the year and now has made two HUGE plays in a row.

Rose. Has to be 1 move and go.

you just lost the game for your team. Just pathetic.

thanks dude. Was a very fun day- she held up well - the series has been pretty even though out. Bogdonovic was tough today- and Lopez/johnson created matchup issues. Horford looks like a shell of himself. Lopez has owned him. I see little reason why they cant tie it up Monday if they bring the effort.

Is all like, "Will you dumbshits stop scoffing at my max contract worthiness?"

today.

Anthony Davis is already a monster and the future of this league, but he still has quite a ways to go defensively. He's slow and late on rotations and just a little dumb on D right now, getting by on his freakish gumby length/quickness more than actually sound D.

Once Davis steps his mental game up on D, he will finally become a legit DPOY candidate. And that, along with more offensive growth as a ball-handler/creator, will make him unstoppable.

Great season for the 22 year old Anthony Davis. But 27 year old Steph Curry was slightly better this year, and had a far better supporting cast. Surprised that the Pelicans couldn't even steal 1 game, but they had their chance in Game 3 and let it slip away.

Memphis is just punching Portland in the face over and over again, and there's nothing the Blazers can do about it. Memphis vs. Warriors will be an interesting playoff battle.

but he needs to be more aggressive today. This is the game of his career right now.

When he gets the ball at the free throw line both Diaw and Splitter are letting him shoot. STOP settling for that jumper and take 1-2 dribble and rise above these guys for a better shot.

Too often he gets this ball at this spot and doesn't even look to drive. He kicks it out too much. Or he settles for a jumper. That's what they want you to do. Every time you do that its a win for the Spurs.

Catch that pass, instantly drive and beat the hell out of those 2. I'm a Clippers fan. He needs to score 40+ today and play more aggressive on getting closer to the basket.

Tim Duncan has been amazing especially when you consider he was doing it against Jordan. It was a low post clinic in that last one.

Must win for Clippers.

but I'd say an even bigger game for Chris Paul than Blake Griffin.

CP3, despite playing well in the playoffs, has never advanced to even a CF. That's a hole in his resume that is keeping his legacy from becoming something greater. He's one of the greatest PGs ever, period. But he needs to prove it on the big stage. And he needs to deliver a monster performance today.

I'm rooting for the Clips hard. I want this series to go 6/7.

LAC need to win or it's over.

out. Such a painful injury.

just pulled Kevin Love's left shoulder out of its socket. Pretty ugly to watch...

trades were so underrated by the Cavs. Without Shumpert, Smith, Mozgov - they would be in deep trouble. And they would still have Waiters. Yikes!

Love out for the game. Any long term injury will hurt them against Chicago.

has been fuckign awful. He needs to stop shooting.

he does mean a lot to that team. He could be out a while if it's serious.

What a terrible loss. Looks pretty serious. Olynyk should be suspended.

is still a fucking POS.

Crowder gets T'd for getting a forearm to the face. Perkins gives the forearm ands puts his hands in Crowders face and stays in the game.

Disgraceful.

Perkins. That's a blackeye for the league. He's a good. Who throws a forearm to a guy's neck purposely and then shoves him in the face.

you dont bench your best players for periods at a time. Turner and Zeller have had good games all series and havent sniffed the court this quarter.

This is a huge game.

.

That is a huge, huge injury.

WTF?

cannot choke here.

Paul was huge. This series is going 7.
