NBA Playoffs Thread

At the 4 min mark on the video from First Things First,Nick Wright says the Warriors are already complaining through official channel's about Beverley's defense on Durant to the League Office.
And i don't even know how to describe that franchise anymore.

They're all en led. A bunch of jump shooters who want the NBA to be a video game not a sport. Then they added Durant, a man raised on the ThunderRefs. And you get this toxic mix.

That's all Steve Kerr. He torpedoed Bruce Bowen's career with that . I know a lot of people here defend him because he once played for the Spurs, but he's a sneaky, whiny little .

I agree its Kerr, but not all Steve. The players are plenty responsible for it too.

So basically Brown earlier in the season invited Bowen to talk to the team about playoff toughness and what made the Spurs successful and Embiid challenged him and they got into it with Bruce.
It's one thing to troll in twitter and another thing to disrespect a veteran champion in his face.Shameful.

I bet Butler won't even consider re-signing with Philly. Harris too is gone, probably. Those two kids Embiid and Simmons are quickly becoming cancers.

Interesting story about the Sixers pre playoffs,kinda involving the Spurs.

If even most of that is true, it's just a toxic place. My guess is that it probably is true. I don't expect professional athletes to be choirboys, but calling out Bruce Bowen or any speaker in one of those motivational meetings? Not even close to being okay.

Clippers getting hammered at home

[Arcadian]

If things go as they seem, round 2 is going to be veeeeeeery interesting...

Spurs-Blazers
Rockets-Warriors
Bucks-Celtics
Raptors-76ers

All would be great series.

[BillMc]

Watching OKC and Portland and really think both these teams will actually be easier than Denver.

Sean Marks got a $25K fine for "entering the referees locker room" after the last game. Today one of the Nets owners, Joe Tsai, got a $35K fine for tweeting the owners' support for what Marks did.

Good for them. The refs jobbed the Nets badly in that game, and the series ought to be 2-2. It may not be dignified, or the "Spurs way", but good for them for having the balls to make a statement. Now the Brooklyn fans should pay the fines for them in pennies.

Agree 100%

Loudmouth Draymond green trying to get ejected.

Clippers playing with heart. Whether they win or not, they should be proud.

Just mentioned that in another thread. Draymond was WAY over the line. We've seen players ejected recently for so much less than that, even on a single technical. It looked like Draymond was taunting the ref because he knew he couldn't be tossed. Usually a coach will pull a player in a situation like that, to let him calm down. Kerr didn't even look to the bench. It was like he knew the refs weren't going to do anything.

And I agree. That's how I wanted to see the Spurs play. If they lose, that's okay. But play with heart.

Clippers fighting hard af. We could never... we don’t have the heart

Last year we did. I loved the way the team battled back in game 5 to almost steal it.

[Degoat]

Man the clippers came to play!!!

[SpurPadre]

Solely because of Manu, LDN, and TP, tbh. Their numbers didn't show it but they had heart that motivated the team.

[SpurPadre]

Would the Clips have beaten the Nuggets? And would we have even won a game against the Dubs?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Crazy this Clippers team is taking GS to 6 games. They play hard and tough and they’re athletic. Polar opposites to the Spurs. Spurs really need to revamp this roster. White DJ Lonnie and Poeltl can stay everyone else needs to go.

[HarlemHeat37]

Clippers have legit energy guys and lunatics like Beverley and Harrell to keep their team going if they stop playing hard..Spurs don't have that on the roster, obviously..

[KimmyGib]

It's so satisfying seeing GS lose at home. I think I've enjoyed these 2 Clipper wins just as much as the Spur wins.
