NBA: Playoffs thread..

[LkrFan]

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

all that. Who the is that in your sig? Dayum!

[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.

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.

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.

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

So Westchuck wouldn't work with KAT?

Miami finally exposing Belinelli with Wade, took long enough 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]

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

My book has Houston -10 -109.. considering it tbh

[D-Wade]

21 pts on 8-9 FG in 12 minutes. And passed Larry Bird while doing it.

cavs sure could use 23 efficient pts to help Bron ...

[Clipper Nation]

Massive chokejob by the Heat... yeah, this won't be a long series, even if they cling on to win.

[Clipper Nation]

And the Sixers are trying to choke it right back.

[Raven]

lol ferrari in the clutch

[Clipper Nation]

Good lord, Re has been brutal down the stretch. Just pulled a Bill Buckner. This type of 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.

[Brunodf]

Beaten by the corpse of D.Wade

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

Biggest threat in the East

[lefty]

Wade

[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 compe ive series, but it's not looking good.

[D-Wade]

Wade

[Clipper Nation]

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.

[Killakobe81]

Durant shooting Spurs in to a lead ...he forced some shots missed a few wide open shots ...

[sickdsm]

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