NBA: Playoffs thread..

[daslicer]

If Warriors make it (which seems likely) I do hope the Celtics make it. Just because the ratings for the NBA finals will be so bad. The league knows a Cavs/Warriors NBA finals will still get good ratings.

I agree.

Sixers are the new Clippers, talking shyt & carrying themselves like champions when they have never been out of the 2nd rd due to choke jobs

It's been one year. If they're still doing this five years from now, that comparison will make sense.

[Clipper Nation]

Also, the real Clipperesque outcome for this series would have been to get dragged to Game 7 by this depleted Celtics team and then lose it in painful fashion.

Any pressure on Lebron to not let the Raptors back in this series? Or is this gonna be easy pickings?

Late but Philly

cRaptors need to consider trading Lowly for an alpha like Maya Moore

I would have been more optimistic about Philly if Embiid wasn't the same age as Ibaka

piggybacking harlem's shtick

you just want attention as usual

[spursistan]

Cavs are such a trash team when Lebron isn't (not yet) in God mode..

Raptors should be embarrassed they are about to get swept by this team..

[Spurs da champs]

Brown's not the one that made them throw three lazy passes. Gotta blame the players for blowing that one.

Browns coaching has been incredibly bad this entire series, game 2 especially.

Dwayne Casey's big coaching move when down 15 at the half is to whine about the officiating...

If that isn't quitting I don't know what is. Toronto needs to move on from him ASAP if they ever wanna be taken seriously.

Touch foul on his head, he goes down like someone shot him. SMDH

It would comical if he played in the '80s vs the lumberjacks and carpenters

[Caltex2]

I saw game 2 and while there was plenty of LOLockets and I also do not like CP0 nor Frauden, I thought it was more a case of the Jazz simply played well. Likewise in Game 3, perhaps Rubio would have certainly helped by Houston just played well?

What do y'all think of this?:

They were down by double digits almost the entire night, from the first few minutes on. The Rockets are better than the Jazz if both teams are at full strength. When the Jazz were dominating the league in February and March, the Rockets beat them in Utah.

Where there's smoke...

So with Philly going down 0-3 it means an undermanned Celtics team will face Cavs most likely in ECF. I can't see Celtics beating LeBron on a stage like that undermanned. Now it seems Warriors and Rockets for WCF very likely and that could go either way really. So with all that being said it seems a Warriors/Cavs NBA finals is very likley. So really is there a point to waste time and watch any of these games unless there is a game 7 or upset likely. Unless Rockets beat Warriors the end result will be another beatdown of LeBron and a Warriors championship. This sh*t is getting old. I hope Rockets/Celtics NBA Finals or Rockets/Cavs NBA Finals happens or no point in watching the beatdown by Warriors vs either Cavs or Celtics. Hoping for something new for NBA entertainment really, this sh*t gets old. Like a book you have read before and you know how it turns out.

Why don't you wait for it to happen before it happens? It's not even impossible that the Celtics could blow their lead, imagine if they suffer another injury. The Raptors look done but maybe not.

Silver rigging this so hard for the Raptors, he's desperate for LeBron to lose.
