Around the NBA - 2018 PLAYOFFS - Round 1

[PDXFonz]

Utah got a stud with Mitchell. Reminds me of Dame from a rookie confidence standpoint. I think Mitchell is ROY over Simmons, but it could be a tie.

 

[Labinot41]

Seriously, what was the Denver GM thinking Trading Pick 13 to Utah for trey liles and Pick 24 ??

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow, ESPN reports he's scoring Kareem rookie #s in this series. First since 1970 to score 20+ in first 6 playoff games.

John Wall: "It's up to our front office to add the pieces they think we need to make our team better and more complete." Imagine Dame would have said this

Dude, only losers who aren't good leaders throw their teammates under the bus when they lose. No wonder everyone on that team was happy and made comments about the team being better when Wall was out. I can't stand stars that cry that their team isn't good enough. Maybe if Wall played better they'd be in a more favorable position.

 

[PDXFonz]

All-Star pool is deeper with Mitchell on the scene

 

[trailblazer18]

Did you see that roll he just got.

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow he just made PG look like a scrub. Kid is playing like an MVP candidate right now.

 

[trailblazer18]

Second coming of DWade. I feel strange being so excited watching him and he is not a Blazer.

 

[Lukee]

Donovan is unreal.

Thats why i said "Imagine Dame would have said this"

 

[trailblazer18]

Westbrook faking so bad.

 

[BonesJones]

Refs trying to keep OKC in it.

 

[Lukee]

8/9 in the 3rd q.. DAMN

 

[Sarni]

Utah’s free throw shooting has been so bad tonight. 41% so far. They’d be completely out of sight with 65-70%.

 

[trailblazer18]

Up 9, going into the 4th, at home. As long as Mitchell doesn't pick up his 5th foul early in the 4th they should take this, but you know Westbrook is gonne be in full spaz mode.

Yeah I am still scared after that game 5. They will have Gobert on the floor this time though.

9 points is nothing though.

 

[Sarni]

Why is it 78 not 79? I stopped watching for a second there.

 

[trailblazer18]

Oh no, there is the 5th...crap

 

[trailblazer18]

Need Joe Ingles to light it up!

 

[trailblazer18]

That was a great steal and finish by O'Neale. I don't think the Blazers could do that at all.

 

[Sarni]

Utah overcoming a lot of obstacles here. Thought they were in huge trouble when it was 78-73 and Mitchell got his fifth. 85-73 now.

If they shot free throws better, though...

 

[Sarni]

Crap this is super tight again

 

[Labinot41]

Fucking fat Felton

 

[Scalma]

George is already in July.

 

[Sarni]

Felton puts them back in it

 

[trailblazer18]

I can't believe George is having such a dud of a game. Can you imagine if he played for the Blazers and was doing this. This board would be full of "I'm done with PG" threads..ha

 

[trailblazer18]

There's the Westbrook we love

 

[rotary111]

Airball!!

 

[Lukee]

He scored 42pts with 37 shots or something. And every other is airball 3.. Dear God.
