OKC vs Houston ... first round matchup ...

I'd be fine with that. OKC/GS without Curry could be very interesting too.

 

[KingSpeed]

OKC . 55% FT tonight. Shaq O'Neil territory.

FTs have cost them at least 5 games this season

 

[KingSpeed]

How do you guys feel about us playing OKC in first round? I like it. They're in 6th at the moment.

 

[KingSpeed]

Marc Gasol with 28 points vs Jazz so far

If Moe can't play I don't like it.

Kinda.

They also miss a lockdown Defender with Roberson. No excuse

Not sure I said it was an excuse, but thanks for telling me it wasn't an excuse.
You're a great poster.

What was that jump ball call in OKC last night near the end? Two Thunder players literally bear hugging Jamal Murray and it gets called a jump ball instead of a foul?? I've never seen anything like that. Could someone explain that? Or was it just a horrendous call?

 

[kjironman1]

This is just wrong

Big Games tomorrow: Rockets at Spurs, OKC at Pels and Jazz at Wolves

Thanks bro appreciate

I don't think there is anything wrong with it. The game has changed since we were young and will continue to change with adapting to the rules.

The good thing about playing OKC is with 2 minutes left in a close game you know exactly whats going to happen every time, WB will try and make a play either going for a stupid steal and selling his teammates out on D or going hero mode on O.

 

[Lanny]

Wow. Phoenix is up 17 at the half against Houston.

Wow is a bit of an understatement.

Hoping Rockets win. The other two don't matter. We're equally happy with either team losing. Then we need the Jazz/Wolves winner to lose their next game. Then we beat Memphis and Dallas and the third seed is ours.

Yep, there's absolutely no sense of surprise. You're defense isn't terrified that anyone could beat them. We have won so many games against OKC over the years because of Westbrook fucking up. It's amazing. How can you be MVP when your opponents WANT you to have the ball in the clutch?

No, no, no. OKC must lose. That's just something that needs to happen.

Yes, I want OKC out of the playoffs lol

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes, I want OKC out of the playoffs lol

That would be awesome.

On another note, Boston actually still has a chance at a second straight #1 seed despite their injuries. They're three games back but they're playing Toronto now. If Boston somehow got #1, Brad Stevens would win COTY.

Sounds like Judgement Day

You guys see the Patrick Mccaw injury? He fell after gunning for a layup and getting broadsided by vincr carter. It didnt look to bad. I am not even sure what part of him got hurt.

Looked like his coccyx. I had a bone bruise there one time and couldn't walk for a week.

[DDolla]

Damn, hope his OK

That's our best matchup IMO.
