NBA: Playoffs thread..

[Spurtacular]

1st q going under 52 annoying. I'm cautiously optimistic for half and game on the over though.

Right as i say that, boston hasnt scored in 3 min of gametime since checking the score.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Jeff Green actually being useful for once in his career.

Late surge. Pushed 1st half.

Only the 3 matters. No one gives a how many Finals he lost (except him). He had to get there.

My point is he likely wouldn't get there more than 1 or 2 times if he were in WC his whole career vice the cakewalk EC. He'd have to go thru your Spurs, my Lakers, the Mavs, Suns and now the Dubs. It took some lucky breaks and stacked teams to eke out the 3 he did win. Tell me why I'm wrong. I'll wait

two huge breaks if u factor the Ray Allen 3 in "6"
but lakers dont 3peat without vlade deflecting the ball to Horry
Spurs dont have 5 if Sheed doesnt leave Horry etc.

I agree with it. But the fact is the spurs grew organically. The warriors were going it until Durant

If LMA was as good as Durant, the Spurs would be doing it too. Everyone wanted Durant, even the Spurs. You cannot single out a team for winning him.

Why are fat people so stubborn?

I called you out on that too, you balked on the offer. Here you are again using the "fat" schtick though

LeBron really wants to get play GS? Kyrie ain't around to bail you out, bud.

Houston's approach of working the math in their favor is the only way to challenge the Warriors, right now, so I don't blame them for their strategy..trying to make 20 3s per game is the best realistic option IMO..

It would take some serious roster-building to even challenge them in a conventional basketball matchup..LeBron joining who? Houston? It probably wouldn't make a difference..look at Paul and Harden, they've rarely both had great games on the same night in these playoffs, they just take turns..

Philly? Not with Simmons there.. LeBron and Kawhi teaming up would challenge them, but where would that occur?

A healthy Celtics team has the best shot IMO, but they probably need to add a real star to their team..they have athletes everywhere and the best coach, but I think they would struggle to score, even with Kyrie..

Lebron, Kawhi and Pop is clearly the best shot.

Or Kawhi, Lebron, Tatum and Stevens.

smh JR Dumb .

LeBron the player fabulous.
LeBron the GM sucks.

Lebron knows he gets glorified for just getting to the Finals by the media despite not being able to win.

[Fabbs]

George Hill is zero offensive threat.
Passing up great shots.

Good one.

[Capt Bringdown]

Baynes has his limitations, but he is an overachiever.
ing Gasol, however...

No he doesn't....finals record is used against him...

[daslicer]

Yes he does. Part of his GOAT argument by the media is him getting to the Finals and them screaming Jordan never got to play a super team like the Warriors. Kellerman said the other day Lebron gets a pass for losing the Finals and it's just about getting there.

what do you mean?
Mvpau is broken down from carrying Achilles, Odom, Bynum and Phil Jackson .etc to back2back chios..and carrying the Grizz to first round playoff series before that ... what did you expect?!

[AlexJones]

superhuman effort from Bron, and if they lose, this series is over. He's not going to win 4 of the next 5.

[Fabbs]

36 points = starting backcourt for Celtics
3 points = starting backcourt for Cavs.

*But but but LeBron sucks.*

[Killakobe81]

monroe is so damn slow ...
his gather im real tome looks like a Espn super slomo ...

I've only seen two certified LeBron fluffers (Kellerman and Wright) in mainstream media make that argument. The most standard argument against LeBron is 3-5 vs 6-0.

[Clipper Nation]

Daily reminder that the Celtics are making the Finals without "Killa" Kyrie.

Stevens, you the real MVP.

[JoeTait75]

Fine, let Boston take the ass-whipping in the Finals.

[Clipper Nation]

Lue's rotations are just comical right now. Is he aware that this isn't a regular-season game in January against a lottery team?
