Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread

[PtldPlatypus]

Since Jordan the Western Conference winners have been basically 3 teams;

Lakers x8 (6 titles)
Spurs x6 (5 titles)
Warriors x6 (3-4 titles)
Mavs x2 (1 title)
Suns
Thunder

2022 Warriors
2021 Suns
2020 Lakers
2019 Warriors
2018 Warriors
2017 Warriors
2016 Warriors
2015 Warriors
2014 Spurs
2013 Spurs
2012 Thunder
2011 Mavs
2010 Lakers
2009 Lakers
2008 Lakers
2007 Spurs
2006 Mavs
2005 Spurs
2004 Lakers
2003 Spurs
2002 Lakers
2001 Lakers
2000 Lakers
1999 Spurs

West won 15 titles to East 8.

Aside from Suns and Thunder once each, it's been all Texas and California.

80's were also entirely CA/TX. That stretch from 90-98 where 6 of 9 years were Blazers, Suns, Sonics, Jazz was really an aberration.

Knowing Cuban, if they can get Ayton. They will be back to the WCF.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So I was wondering?
Is Curry still trash?

 

[MickZagger]

Celtics and Heat series changed as soon as Boston focused more on driving hard to the hoop instead of settling for contested jumpers.

Great coaching by Udoka.

Draymond Green baffled about other players not getting technical fouls?! LMFAO!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

So I was wondering?
Is Curry still trash?

Yes. Only 15 points in a close out game.

 

[illmatic99]

Robert Williams is insane

 

[blazerfan11]

The offenses Miami and Boston run...
They won't be ready for Golden State.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Yes. Only 15 points in a close out game.

Didn't they just give him MVP of the series? Wondering if he gets MVP in the Finals as well?

 

[Wade Garrett]

Smart v Curry
Brown v Thompson
Tatum v Wiggins
Horford v Green
Williams v Looney
Intelligent first year Coach v Legendary Coach
Solid benches.

Can't wait.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Yes. Only 15 points in a close out game.

Like the time Damian scored 13 in a Game 7 win at Denver.
He must be trash also?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Smart v Curry
Brown v Thompson
Tatum v Wiggins
Horford v Green
Williams v Looney
Intelligent first year Coach v Legendary Coach
Solid benches.

Can't wait.

If Boston doesn’t win game 6?
You might be waiting a while.

 

[blazerkor]

Darvin Ham got the Lakers job... I like him so I wish him luck because he's going to need it.

 

[Wade Garrett]

If Boston doesn’t win game 6?
You might be waiting a while.

I'd like to make an amendment please?

 

[DDolla]

Warriors would sweep both of this team

 

[Mediocre Man]

Warriors would sweep both of this team

These two teams are so good defensively

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Does White shave his eyebrows?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

These two teams are so good defensively

They are but time and time again we see great offense with good defense beats great defense with okay offense.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Heat is giving it everything they fucking have.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Refs just sealed a game 7. Not sure I like that they influenced that game like that?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Guess the NBA gods didn’t want another weekend without basketball?

 

[wizenheimer]

Refs just sealed a game 7. Not sure I like that they influenced that game like that?

what call are you referring to?

 

[illmatic99]

Refs just sealed a game 7. Not sure I like that they influenced that game like that?

You mean Jimmy Butler did. Celtics are such a whiny team

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

Refs just sealed a game 7. Not sure I like that they influenced that game like that?

I thought the refs actually did a really good job in the end of the 4th

 

[blazerfan11]

These two teams are so good defensively

Against a typical NBA team. Golden State isn't a typical NBA team.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

what call are you referring to?

Three consecutive calls around the two minute mark. Game was tied.
From that point on it was tough to get back in it.
Yes I understand it was called close.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I thought the refs actually did a really good job in the end of the 4th

I didn’t.
I felt they should have let them play more.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Mark Cuban brain is swirling about how to pair these two together?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Smart v Curry
Brown v Thompson
Tatum v Wiggins
Horford v Green
Williams v Looney
Intelligent first year Coach v Legendary Coach
Solid benches.

Can't wait.

You might have to wait.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Like the time Damian scored 13 in a Game 7 win at Denver.
He must be trash also?

Dame is the best player ever. Curry is trash.
