NBA: Playoffs thread..

[Caltex2]

I guess I’m the only one who doesn’t think this Rockets-Warriors series won’t be compe ive at all. The Warriors have such a greater margin for error over other teams they can be average and get by because of their talent level. Houston probably has their full attention and will go all out against them.

We don't know if Steph Curry is 100% and they won't have HCA. They should be favored but it's far from an assumption.

That Solomon Hill contract is a killer..just replacing him with an above average player would be huge..

Solomon Hill essentially got paid off one playoff series where he knocked down corner 3s

They could have really used Tyreke if the Grizz didn't block or they could have offered Jeff Green a starting role.

No I know why CN hates KD:

No wonder CN calls him "DurBeta"

I meant pre-series anticipation..

Spurs-Thunder and Thunder-Warriors weren't expected to be great series'..OKC was nothing special during that RS and were viewed as a declining team about to blow up..the Spurs were highly favored to beat them, as were the Warriors..

2015 Clippers-Spurs was actually another highly anticipated West series that I forgot about, they were both viewed as the only Warriors challengers at the time..

Everything about the 2016 Thunder still triggers me. They were fools gold, should've lost to San Antonio but got really lucky G2 and G5. Durant knew they weren't winning a le and probably decided to join the Warriors at least a year prior to that.. "KD took the easy way out".. no, it was the only decision to be made

Houston-GS is a basketball fan's dream..most anticipated West series since 07 Spurs-Suns and 06 Spurs-Mavs(would include 14 Spurs-Thunder if Ibaka wasn't hurt) ..

ps don't ever link a Timmy Duncan Championship team with these gots again.

Well of course. Most of his "game winners" were layups, dunks, or and-1s - courtesy of his refs. If you look at LBJ too long it's a two-shot-flagrant 2-technical. #LeProtected

5-2 >>>>>>>> 3-5 tbh

And on his way to the Finals 7 times, he beat Jim 4 times in the playoffs en route to ranging.

You were saying?

"Kirby" is 4-2 H2H with Jim in the playoffs when both players played.

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

You can't that no matter how hard you try, Esequiel. Kobe is one of the all-time chokers in the playoffs. And just imagine how much worse that percentage would be if he didn't have Horry and Fisher taking a lot of the clutch shots for him and Shaq and MVPau rebounding his bricks.

So you're finally admitting that it was the Shaqorry Lakers that threepeated, not the Shaqobe Lakers?

Does CN have anything else to talk about? Without it he'd disintegrate into dust.

Looking for a easy (easier) win I guess?

LkrFan brought up Kobe, not me:

[dfens]
