Playoffs thread..

[Clipper Nation]

That pass was one of the stupidest things I've seen. All time great talent for sure, but I'm not sure if he's an all time great player, especially if he keeps playing like this and Harden drags him to the conference finals and beyond for the first time.

I was having flashbacks to his turnovers against OKC in Game 5, as well as how he almost choked Game 6 against the Jazz last year with turnovers down the stretch. He blames everyone else, but this is who he is.

[HarlemHeat37]

That was Minnesota's best chance..Paul played the worst game of his career + Houston couldn't make a 3..

Barkley and these idiots don't realize that Houston has had a solid defense all year:lol

[Gummi Clutch]

Chris Paul was legitimately drunk.

3 assists 6 turnovers is unheard of for him.

[Clipper Nation]

Paul played the worst game of his career

This might not have even his worst playoff game, tbh. His quit-job in Game 7 last year was arguably just as bad if not worse, and then there was the whole series against the Nuggets that a post-prime Chauncey took a wet shit on him :lol

CP0, Game 5 against the Spurs in 2015: 7 points on 3-11 shooting, 6 turnovers, -27.

[AlexJones]

Yep, taking it regardless, would help if Anderson returns, too..

You touching anything tomorrow? Seeing sharps on Miami due to Philly's fluke shooting in game 1, but I really don't trust that inconsistent trash Heat team..

I don't know why people are surprised about Towns, it's been the case all year, it's a product of terrible roster building..

Towns and occasionally Crawford/Bjelica are their only off-ball options..

Butler, Wiggins, Teague and Rose are virtually useless off the ball, they're all wasted by running a Towns post-offense, despite that being their most reliable option..it's a poorly built roster that gets by on raw talent..

[AlexJones]

Look at the replies lol the arrogance of W's fans. Gonna hit them hard when they realize Houston is every bit as good as them.

I don't see the Rockets beating the Warriors. Rocket fans are going to be crying when they lose to the Warriors like you did the other day after Trump let you down.

Harden travels sooooo fucking much. It's the most I've ever seen anyone get away with.

[ambchang]

NBA has its highest ratings in 20 years, get used to it:lol

In similar news Garth Brooks outsold everyone by the Beatles, and Kenny G outsold Pearl Jam.

[TDMVPDPOY]

cavs losing gm1 even with lechoke triple double, dude needs to take over the game scoring and get them into foul trouble, instead he always does his usual bs on the floor deferring the ball....win/lose he will say he doesnt have enough help, if those clowns cant help...shouldnt u be increasing ur usage %?

[Clipper Nation]

Towns played one of the worst games I've ever seen. Non factor in either end of the court, and played with a level of passiveness that was disgusting
Towns didn't play well, but he was also ignored numerous times by his selfish and cancerous teammates when he had mismatches to exploit. That's been a recurring theme all season, too. Towns is Kawhi on a team full of Porkers. His teammates would rather play heroball for their own stats than pass the ball to him and let him shine.

[Clipper Nation]

The selfishness on display here is just nauseating:

985724935892094977

Thibs is a joke. No real coach would allow their team's best player to be underutilized like this.

[ambchang]

^ Good compilation on KAT, while the guards were terrible in those plays, KAT should have called for the ball.

[lefty]

KAT is gonna be a playoff choker tbh

[Clipper Nation]

^ Good compilation on KAT, while the guards were terrible in those plays, KAT should have called for the ball.
Do you really think calling for the ball was going to deter the selfish chuckers they have on that team? I'm sure Towns has tried to do that, but after a whole season of being frozen out by heroballers while the coach allows it, it's not magically going to change.

[ambchang]

Sure it was on Thibbs, sure it was on the chuckers, but KAT, as the franchise player, should instill the fear of God in those guys.

Also, the spacing was atrocious on the Wolves offense. The guys should clear out on the pick and roll, set up for corner threes, but they were just standing around looking at the ball handler chucking up a contested shot every time. Just low IQ stuff.

[UZER]

This shit is beyond ridiculous. WTF is going on with the refs?

[LkrFan]

Other than being better offensively, he's basically Jeff Green.

Fuck all that. Who the hell is that in your sig? Dayum! :wow

[Clipper Nation]

Sure it was on Thibbs, sure it was on the chuckers, but KAT, as the franchise player, should instill the fear of God in those guys.
Jamal and Rose are two of the most delusional players in the league, and Wiggins is totally apathetic. I don't think anyone can "instill the fear of God" in those guys.

Their roster isn't built to have spacing. They've surrounded an offensive-minded big man with mostly chuckers, slashers and guys who can't shoot. Towns himself is actually the best three-point shooter on their whole team. They're still top 10 in points per game and offensive rating because of raw talent, limiting turnovers, getting to the free throw line and getting second-chance points off of rebounds. But they're always going to look ugly while doing it, and it's always going to get exposed against real defenses in the playoffs.

[Clipper Nation]

985724069310971905

:lol Does Thibs realize it's not 2011 anymore?

[AlexJones]

Harden is a genius tbh

-FTs are the most efficient shot in basketball - draw more FTs than anyone else
-3PTs are way more efficient than non-layup 2pts - shoot 10 3's a game
-NBA doesn't call travels on bang-bang plays - do the double hop step-back 3pter

Miami finally exposing Belinelli with Wade, took long enough:lol looks like the 2014 Finals..

[D-Wade]

If Miami keeps the game ugly and physical like this, we'll win. Simmons is talented but as part of the new guard, soft.

[Clipper Nation]

Time for people to chill on that Sixers Finals hype. They're making Wade look young again.

[Arcadian]

:lol Giving up a 20-2 run...they need Embiid

Good lord, Redick has been brutal down the stretch. Just pulled a Bill Buckner. This type of shit is why I wasn't too upset about him leaving the Clippers.

Ridiculous take. The Heat are going home with a split against a young inexperienced team.

Beaten by the corpse of D.Wade :lol

People who thought Belineli was useful for more than 10 minutes/game :lol

Biggest threat in the East :lol

[lefty]

Wade :bobo

[Clipper Nation]

Ridiculous take. The Heat are going home with a split against a young inexperienced team.

Everything was going the Heat's way tonight, Wade turned back the clock to '09, the Sixers played like complete trash, and it was still a 2-point game with just over four minutes to go. Embiid is likely coming back soon, too. I actually like the team you guys have, so I hope it does turn out to be a competitive series, but it's not looking good.

[D-Wade]

Wade :bobo

:bobo

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Warriors fans actually had the nerve to talk about Iguodala like he's some washed scrub all year so they could pretend they don't have a stacked team.

Used to respect Pop. He's a fucking idiot now. He's a shadow of his corpse, send him out to pasture already.

Now Durant hittin' if he the 2nd best player to LeBron he should fucken act and play like it ...

im speaking more of the general consensus ...
Harden even had a better year than Bron doesnt make him bwtter than Bron or KD ...

Pop throwing another game per par, garbage starting lineup is -18 in 10 minutes , the midget lineup simply doesn't work against good shooters

Seems more fitting.

How/why? Was he gonna injure Lamarcus?

Zaza annihilates LaMarcus. I don't get why Kerr isn't playing him.

Yeah, it never works like that.:lol

This is Philly core first rodeo. Young teams go through the cycle of "shook and choke" before their breakthrough. It is going to be important to see how they react to their long-winning streak getting snapped.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Sixers get backdoor-swept. But I'm fully expecting this series to go 7 with Miami as slight favorite.

Satoransky is pretty good, tbh... IIRC, the Wizards were playing better with him this year when Wall was injured. Oubre, Scott and (surprisingly) Ty Lawson are pretty nice too.

Wall's contract is looking like an albatross.

Stevens was making Kyrie look much better than he really is, too. Just like LeBron used to do in Cleveland.

Read what you said ...lebron and stevens made him look good yet he thrived in both places. yes Stevens and LeBron deserve credit but Kyrie is good too ...
personally i thought he was a bit overrated before the finals win over State ...but he proved he can be nails when it matters most ...
i hate the celts but hope he regains his health... as is, his knees seem shaky to me ...he may never be what he once was or could have been ...

[HarlemHeat37]

It's not like Kyrie had the highest win shares on the Celtics in the reg season, and they are playing a garbage team right? Lordy!

[DAF86]

The beaners of ESPNDeportes (the GOATS commentators of any language on any sport) clowing the "analysis" of Shaq, Barkley and the rest of the TNT crew. :lol

[Killakobe81]

i think Kyrie on offense is a clear cut upgrade over Rozier but size speed wise arent celts better off with Rozier especially on defense.
And celts might miss his playmaking but pretty sure Gordon cant play much better than Jaylen Brown did today. Celts make me nervous but really its Tatum and Brown more than a team featuring hayward as a #2 tbh...if kyrie gets healthy with those young guys and stevens running things celts gonna be scary.
the hater in me hopes they trade for Kiwi giving up both Tatum/Brown and stick with hayward ...even though i like Kyrie more than most no way he rings as the alpha with hayward as his #2. And who knows about Kiw's health? but if hecregains it he leaves boston for Lakers and celts are left with hayward ...tee, hee

[Killakobe81]

Trail Blazers are ass.

Do you think he and Davis get in each other's way? I would imagine they each prefer being the centerpiece on offense. I know there were plenty of games when they both played well, but idk if they really had a synergy.

[Killakobe81]

Jrue leaves and Dame getting loose, finally

[spursistan]

I think Cousins turns the ball over too often and also doesn’t get back on defense when he complains that he thinks he gets fouled. The Pels miss his rebounding more than anything, but they’ve been doing fine without him.

Jrue has been amazing down the stretch .(this,game and season)..far from a weakness...
only SG i take over him for sure are ...
Harden, Klay, derozen, Mitchell? Oladipo and pG13
Sg is awfully weak
he is in the same tier with McCollum, beal tbh ..mcollum best scorer beal best range bit holiday a better pkaymaker and defender.

lily a shit kent who complains why he isnt allstar or allnba team...yet this scrub has a adidas shoe deal just as much as kawhis current employment contract with the SACUCKS

[21209]

Nikola Mirotic proving to be the best acquisition any team made at mid-season after the Pels lost DeMarcus Cousins.

They even got better after they put him in the starting line-up in place of Emeka Okafor.

It gives the Pelicans more offensive spacing and it opened up the successful pnr that AD has with Rajon Rondo and Jrue Holiday

[DAF86]

combination of boston is really good + you've always had it out for giannis

No, I don't. I actually like to see him play because he has a very distinct style of play. But to me is very suspicious that in 5 seasons he hasn't been able to elevate his team above mediocrity in the shitty east, tbh.

To me the guys that argue that he is a top 5 player in the World, without having prove shit still, are the ones that have a special thing for him, tbh.

[Killakobe81]

LeBron pretty much has to play 48 minutes per game and stop passing the ball for the Cavs to win this series, that's how awful their roster is.

Here comes the excuse train....yeah I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that no super star wants to play with Lebron anymore :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Kevin Scrub is a soft flopper.

[SAGirl]

Nikola Mirotic proving to be the best acquisition any team made at mid-season after the Pels lost DeMarcus Cousins.

They even got better after they put him in the starting line-up in place of Emeka Okafor.

It gives the Pelicans more offensive spacing and it opened up the successful pnr that AD has with Rajon Rondo and Jrue Holiday
He was had for nothing basically... a non lotto 1st round pick... was available as a FA in the summer too.

[AlexJones]

Lebron snaps his head back and gets the flagrant call. Per usual

[AlexJones]

What a soft league.

[Thebesteva]

Lebron snaps his head back and gets the flagrant call. Per usual

Meanwhile this was a regular foul in the 90s...when boys were boys and men were men

Feel bad for Playoff P wasting his talents playing alongside 2 of the most cancerous stars in the league.

[Bynumite]

LeBum hit the Pacers with his best shot and he's still barely hanging in there. It's gonna be a bloodbath when cavs face an actual good team :lol

They barely won despite getting some phantom calls from the refs and the pacers committing stupid turnovers.

[SAGirl]

The selfishness on display here is just nauseating:

Thibs is a joke. No real coach would allow their team's best player to be underutilized like this.
I haven’t watched that series but that sucks.

that was kinda cheap to blindside LeBron with that news ...
I dont think she meant to maybe she didnt know if he knew but when u say he is close to Pop seems rough to do that then when he just finished a tough game.

Houston has CP0 and Frauden on their team and their fans have the nerve to chant "flopper."

Utah ties the series, Donovan Mitchell outplays Westbrook

[AlexJones]

From down 8 to up 16 in less than a quarter.

[Fabbs]

Hey if you guys are recording / have playback capability see my thread.
Was Green flashin?

[Bill_Brasky]

The Rockets seem like an easy team to beat if you just rough them up defensively(like Thibs has been doing) and don't run a total jack shit offense that has no identity and ignores the strengths of it's best player(also like Thibs has been doing)

[sickdsm]

Yeah. Rockets don't look good even in a blowout

Green just pulled another one of the sidestep Macarena moves on a three right in front of the ref. Pathetic.

LeBron stuck up for her said she did ask his okay prior to interview ...still think a bad choice by TNT ...let the man gsther his thoughts and speak on it during the post game pressor. They were chasing ratings ...period.

Jordan waa a pussy too

Didn't beat the Pistons until Stern finally listened to his whining and softened the rules for him :lmao

Jordan attacked Reggie Miller like a woman instead of throwing a punch, what a pussy tbh :lol

Shat his pants when Rice when nose to nose with him :lol

I was surprised the Bulls players didn't take a chance to punch Jordan in the face in that scrum. Some should have just acting like they were throwing a punch at Miller but would actually "miss" and hit DK in his face.

Yep, he was pretty quiet through the first three quarters, then flipped the switch and went into takeover mode to make sure they weren't down 0-2.

[Darth_Pelican]

I have a bad feeling that the Pelicans are gonna lay an egg at home tonight and let the Blazers back in the series. Hope I’m wrong..

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Karl Anthony Towns has been the biggest choker in these playoffs.

Shooting 27% from the field in the postseason and getting shutdown one on one against Clint Capella and 100 year old Nene. His terrible defense is the only thing that transferred from regular season to postseason. Other than Tyus Jones he has been the Timberwolves' worst player.

[Pelicans78]

[AlexJones]

Would I take a guy with star tier metrics or a guy with above average starter metrics? Idk

I've always loved Jrue but this is a league for stars.

edit: replaced superstars with stars, i guess, if superstar= lbj, steph, kd, then Lillard is a tier below them

[spursistan]

CJ Mccollum & Dame Lilliard are so fuckin' overrated :lol..

Cute little regular season chuckers who feast on teams playing second night of B2Bs in Portland...

[Clipper Nation]

I wouldn't want either of them, but I'd prefer Jrue over Lillard. At least Jrue plays defense and shows up in the playoffs.

A couple of years ago, I was at a Pels game and watched Jrue D-up Kawhi on back to back plays. It was impressive to watch how he dug in and kept his center of gravity low to prevent getting pushed around, but was still able to move his feet and stay in front.

Hes jjust got that toughness you need on a team.

Yeah, harden officiated ones are much better because 3>2, maths!!!

Great adjustment by LeBron changing the Cavs defensive strategy..

Indiana is a 1-man team, just like the Spurs..Warriors begged anybody but Aldridge to beat them and it's been impossible on a team full of role players..LeBron deciding to do the same for the Cavs, Oladipo getting trapped on virtually every play in the half..
