Around the NBA - 2018 PLAYOFFS - Round 1 (2 Viewers)

[speeds]

Raps shooting 15/29 from three. And still barely winning.

Too many turnovers.

 

[Chris Craig]

Toronto exercises its game 1 demons

 

[Chris Craig]

Bring on Heat\76ers

THANK FUCK HUBIE’S OLD ASS IS ON THIS GAME!

 

[KingSpeed]

I need at least one "that was a great timeout" per broadcast.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I really wanted Belinelli

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Josh Richardson may be the next Bruce Bowen without the dirty.

 

[KingSpeed]

Me too. Ilyasova and Belinelli are two of the biggest reasons the Sixers have played so well lately.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Whiteside has lost some of his elevation

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I respect the Heat so much, this organization is definitely 1st class.

 

[H.C.]

Miami is a tough out.
23-4 run for Miami.

 

[H.C.]

I wish portland had james johnson.

 

[Labinot41]

Refs killing the game

 

[BonesJones]

I wish portland had james johnson.

Dude would be perfect. Would play SF/PF and take Turner's role as a point forward and would do it 5 times better. Would bring some attitude and veteran leadership. Would love him as our starting 4. And Miami signed him to a minimum contract a couple years ago. I wish Olshey could make this undervalued veteran free agent signings... They pay off. Seems like he's only able to do it with young guys.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I'm really really not in the mood to miss the first part our game if the Heat/Sixers game runs long. I hate that.

NBC Sports Northwest...?

 

[Boise Blazer]

NBC Sports Northwest...?

We don't get that in Boise unfortunately

 

[BonesJones]

You're in the Northwest... And you don't get NBC Sports Northwest... Lame!

It'd probably start on ESPN2 or ESPNnews or some other ESPN outlet.

I mean I guess it depends what you call veteran.
Have to give NO credit for Rolo, Davis & Aminu.
But yeah I know what you mean.

Edit - I also like Olynyk.

 

[AFully22]

I wouldn’t mind Justice Winslow as our next ‘Moe Harkless project’.

 

[BonesJones]

If Miami still had LeBron I think they'd be the best team in the East. They have all the right role players (Johnson, Richardson, Olynyk, Winslow, Adebeyo, etc.) with two borderline all-stars (Whiteside, Dragic).. they're just missing that superstar.

Davis and Aminu weren't trash-heap level signings like Tyreke Evans was last year or James Johnson was the year before. Those guys were basically minimum level signings that got signed far after most free agents signed.

definitely; that'd be interesting if he went back there

Give him credit for Harkless, Napier, and Baldwin too.

 

[DUB]

High scoring game between Philly and Miami.

Cmon Kingspeed, at least read the couple of posts before... This is what I said originally.

Should've said trades/free agent signings. I was basically saying that Olshey is able to acquire undervalued, underrated young guys and turn them into good players, but for some reason, he's unable to do it with veterans (RoLo being the exception).

High scoring for Philly.

True.

I was just chiming in with praise for NO. That's all.
