AROUND THE NBA - April/Playoffs (3 Viewers)

[VanillaGorilla]

Don't have too root for anybody. Just good competitive bball. Curry and KD are joys to watch when they aren't killing us

That's just not really how I am. I don't care about Curry or KD other than not liking them when we are playing them. Neither are "joys to watch" to me. If I'm not pulling for a certain team to win I have no incentive to watch.

Enjoyed the ass whoopin so much that he decided to stay here!

Barnes is going to be a volume guy as the #1. He could be good but I'm not sure it would be smart for a team to max him and put him as the first option. Seems better suited as a roll player.

 

[BBert]

Durant doing to Livingston what Livingston did to us.

 

[PDXFonz]

They need to do something about the shitty refs this offseason.

Blows the whistle before the shot clock violation to call a foul, then the refs meet up and change it to a shot clock violation.

 

[BBert]

GS just gave that third quarter away. Overconfidence will bite you in the ass.

 

[Chris Craig]

Let's go Thunder

 

[PDXFonz]

In before Curry for 3

Curry is the type of dude that would get a basic bitch tattoo like these:

Fuck the warriors.

You can tell when lebron plays against him or talks about him he agrees with you.

If LeBron don't like you, you must be a real shady bitch cause he seems like he's friends with EVERYONE lol

He's just hanging out with maris. Enjoying that beautiful central Oregon.

Lmao the TNT guys did the Spurs dirty!

Charles: "Whose the Wizard?"

EJ: "Father Time"

I really don't think any team is dumb enough to max Barnes. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit..

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't like the Thunder or the Warriors but I usually root for the underdog so I think I'll be rooting for OKC. I could watch the game(s) and completely change my mind though.

You and I are so much alike. That's exactly how I feel.

I am almost certain someone will max Barnes in the Summer. I'd expect Minnesota to go hard for him, he'd stretch the field and with Wiggins and Towns still being on relatively small contracts for the next few years they should have cap space. I imagine they will try to find a suitor for Rubio if they manage to get a good draft position and draft Dunn or Murray.

Doesn't make sense to me considering they have Wiggins who fills a similar role.

I'd love for Houston to max Barnes after losing Howard and striking out on Durant!

The Lakers are going to max Barnes...and I already hate it.

Where would Randle fit in to that equation though(assuming they draft Simmons)?

That team screams of defensive liability, but definitely has potential to be offensively gifted.

I wish the Lakers would trade us Randle. He would be a great fit at the 4 for us.

I can see the Lakers maxing out Barnes and DeRozan After dealing the top 3ish pick for another teams lottery pick AND two other future first round picks (Think PHX).

They can draft Poeltl.

Russell / Clarkson
DeRozan / Lou
Barnes / Young
Randle / Nance
Poeltl / Sacre

Not awful, borderline playoff team next season... Definite playoff team in the future.

 

[PDXFonz]

Yay, lets all watch Toronto get swept.

 

[riverman]

I'm cheering for Toronto to win it all...they deserve it and nobody gives them a shot

I'll buy them all shots to help ease the pain of getting swept.

Although I do think it could be a gentlemen's sweep.

They aren't going to make them play all four games are they?

 

[riverman]

I want Kevin Durant and Lebron James crushed...going into free agency pissed off. I want Curry pissed off and out of the finals. Underdogs rock! Go Toronto! I'm rooting for our free agency pool to want to come to Portland after losing

 

[WillG]

Not a bad outcome really, considering Phillys stable of bigs.

This means a guy like Okafor may be easier for Olshey to pry away.

We didn't get gone fishin' graphic did we?
