I hope the Pelicans sweep Warriors/Spurs.

[illmatic99]

We are the only team to get swept.

This is shameful.

 

[Strenuus]

We are the only team to get swept.

This is shameful.

But we did great for the regular season! That's what really matters!

AND WE'RE BUILT FOR THE FUTURE! We just have to get swept in the playoffs for half a decade before it turns around!

[Lukee]

Please Minny, just please.

Harden is 0/5 so far.

 

[PDXFonz]

There's been an awful lot of ass grabbing with ET this season. He was on shaqtin for it once already.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I only watched the 3rd, but Butler had no answer for Harden.

 

[H.C.]

I can't believe OKC is letting Favors/oneale guard Memelol.

 

[PDXFonz]

Mitchell is special.

These jazz fans make or home court these playoffs look weak.

 

[trailblazer18]

Joe Ingles just messing with Paul George, good stuff.

 

[trailblazer18]

Mitchell is special.

These jazz fans make or home court this year look weak.

Mitchell looks so good! I'm jealous he is on the Jazz. CJ for Mitchell? Haha

 

[PDXFonz]

Westbrook should learn to keep his mouth shut. Always saying some dumb shit.

 

[JDC]

I wanted to pick the Jazz in this series, but couldn't do it.

They aren't winning it ways I thought either. Thought their depth would be important for them, but instead it's been their starting lineup that's done nearly all the damage.

Love so many players on that team and I think Snyder and Lindsey are one of the best Coach/GM combo's in the league. Both super sharp guys.

So here the Thunder are after getting players like Melo and Paul George with Westbrook and one of the most dominant Big Men in the game getting beaten pretty badly in the first round.
If i compare rosters and moves made i would think this is every much as demoralizing as what the Blazers just went through. Even more so if they lose Paul George this summer.

They will lose him for 100%. I can't even Imagine he want's to be there for more years

Even though the chemistry did not work from the beginning, it is still puzzling to me. Four of their starters are considered good defenders. I know people like to blame it all on Westbrook, but there has to be more to it.

I for one think Adams is over rated.......

I actually now hope he does go to the Lakers. That would take LA out of either the LBJ or the Kawhi sweepstakes. And PG is a distant 3rd in that group in terms of talent.

Nah, the crowd fucking brought it games 1 and 2. It's not our fault the performance on the court was so bad.

 

[Sarni]

Utah are fantastic. The players, the coach, crowd, it’ a all so intense and passionate there that you just have to fall in love with that team.

And the Thunder are complete trash.
I'm not sure I would've favored them against any of the teams who made the playoffs in the Western conference.

In the Portland/ New Orleans thread on Clutchfans, a member there (who lives in Portland for work) went to game 1. He said he had never heard a crowd that loud including the Houston crowd during their last championship season. He shit on our team (deservedly so), but gave our crowd major cudos.

Well, we know it wasn't Neil Olshey. He only hates on the fans.

We are too stupid to understand how great the season actually was.

Yeah was crazy how a lot of people jumped into conclusions after game 1 and wrote off Utah.

I sure did not. Utah is clearly better than OKC

 

[stampedehero]

Damn: I would be really bummed if I was a Wolves fan. They get shellacked for 50 points in the third quarter. Harden scored 22 and the Wolves scored 20.
Meanwhile I am hoping to see OKC get booted out.

Say something nice about the Blazers and here's the response you'll get -

I like Utah but I love only the Blazers.
