Around the NBA Playoffs - Round Two

[UKRAINEFAN]

That’s crazy I was thinking the exact same thing watching this Utah game

Yeh, both teams using a lot. Possible because both attack so hard and fast, before defense can get set.

 

[MickZagger]

Are we seeing the curse of Chris Paul?

 

[Titan]

Wow this Utah team

 

[KingSpeed]

Lol that's the same guy who last year said Blazers are open to trade Dame at the trade deadline. He talks bullshit all day, i only trust Woj, Shams, Haynes, Stein and Aldridge

Vescey or Amico? The scoop is from Vescey.

 

[KingSpeed]

Let’s Go PA... Go get Kwahi

They said they won't trade him to Western Conference team.

 

[Strenuus]

Sure, if you want to look at just one 4 game series rather than a career. Watching the GS/ Pelican series (and I know GS is one of the best if not the best in the league) the Pelicans are no longer hitting the same shots they did against us. Sometimes it becomes a perfect storm with Pelicans playing above their capabilities and the Blazers playing below. The results of the series end up like what happened. Was it good? No. Is it repairable? yes.

They have done it in every playoff series since he became Dame Time. lol.

CP3,

This is it where it comes to an end.

The Playoffs

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. CP3 just dribbles the ball out of bounds. Jazz will sweep their home games. This one is over. Good for Utah fans.

 

[Titan]

Clutch city...nah, should be choke city

 

[DDolla]

Wow this Utah team

Wish we can say Wow this Blazers team.

 

[theprunetang]

Cuck City

 

[Titan]

Wish we can say Wow this Blazers team.

Yep

 

[Haakzilla]

Random Larry Bird Trash Talk stories (funny):

...and this is part of the reason I voted for him in the GOAT thread, this video should be posted over there! Larry Legend!

 

[HailBlazers]

Try as Tony Brothers n Scott Foster might, "H-Town" goes down.

 

[BonesJones]

@CupWizierDo you still think Utahs style of play doesn't translate better to the post-season than ours...?

 

[BonesJones]

Wow. CP3 just dribbles the ball out of bounds. Jazz will sweep their home games. This one is over. Good for Utah fans.

You always say "you can't predict outcomes, that's what makes the NBA great" and then you consider a series that's tied at 1 to 1 "over".

 

[THE HCP]

Great road win for the Jazz. Exum played pretty damn well on both ends.

 

[dviss1]

Still nothing from Dviss

Fuck Texas? Austin wants to be Portland when it grows up.

 

[BBert]

Are we seeing the curse of Chris Paul?

I sure as hell hope so

 

[riverman]

Why can't we use more lobs in our offense?

because Andre Miller retired

 

[BlazerBeav]

So frustrating. Got the third seed and doomed ourselves to a bad matchup (both in the first and second round) - instead of playing OKC who we own and Houston, who we at least played well against. I hate basketball.

 

[DUB]

Joe Ingles had a career high 27 points (10/13), a career high 7/9 three point shots, and now has the record for the most points scored in an NBA playoff game by an Australian.

 

[DUB]

Great road win for the Jazz. Exum played pretty damn well on both ends.

I know this is from game 1, but it shows his great D.



And from game 2.

 

[Strenuus]

Wow. CP3 just dribbles the ball out of bounds. Jazz will sweep their home games. This one is over. Good for Utah fans.

I WANT YOU TO BE SO FREAKING RIGHT!!!!

 

[Sarni]

Huge win for Utah last night, especially after Houston beat them so heavily in game 1 and came back from deficit to lead in this game. They didn’t even need a huge night from Mitchell to pull it off because Ingles went off and the entire team including Exum, Crowder and Burks from the bench contributed.

Even though I am supporting them I can’t say Utah are favourites yet despite winning the homecourt advantage. They need to win the next two to become that. Jazz are extremely strong at home and in the playoffs atmosphere it becomes even more of an advantage but Houston are a damn good team so it will be hard.

If Jazz could win this series this would be one of the biggest playoffs upsets of recent times.

 

[Lanny]

Why can't we use more lobs in our offense?

We use to call those Alley Oops.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fuck Texas? Austin wants to be Portland when it grows up.

Fuck it all you want. Just admit you were wrong and that I didn't make it up.

 

[BonesJones]

So frustrating. Got the third seed and doomed ourselves to a bad matchup (both in the first and second round) - instead of playing OKC who we own and Houston, who we at least played well against. I hate basketball.

So we would've played better against Houston instead of New Orleans because... matchups?

OKC or Houston would've likely done something new that Stotts wouldn't be able to adjust to and the narrative then would still be "Stotts is great, we just ran into a bad matchup..."

Nice!

It's called Lillard time.
