NBA Playoffs Thread - 2nd round edition

[illmatic99]

I want the Lakers to destroy them. I’m so sick of the warriors. I’m so sick of their fans. I’m ready for Curry to be gone and for that team to fall out of relevance for a long time.

oh boy, i can just see the meltdowns happening in this forum when we bring in draymond for a 100+ mil deal.

luckily the likelihood of us opening that much capspace is low.

How much does a donkey cost?

I feel dirty rooting for the Lakers but I can't stand Draymond, Curry, Klay, Gary Payton II, Steve Kerr and the entire Golden State front office... actually I don't even feel dirty. Fuck GS.

Payton doesn’t deserve another ring. Fuck that team.

I give him the benefit of the doubt. He's facing Jokic.

So is Landale... but Landale is actually giving effort.

This isn't the first time with Ayton either. He was a no-show in the NCAA tournament against Buffalo (I was there live). He underperformed when the Suns played in the finals a few years ago.

He's more interested in playing video games than playing basketball.

Hes just not that good

So. . odds are a #7 seed goes to WCF and could well win it. Or else a #6. All this better to tank in hopes of hot prospect than be a low seed doesn't quite ring true.

The Lakers and Warriors have much much better teams than us.

Also the Lakers made a significant trade that drastically changed their team for the better. We didn’t do that. Actually we did the opposite.

The lakers were hopeless in January. A good deadline rejuvenated their team.

This gives me hope that a solid offseason by cronin could turn our team around for the better. We need to get lucky as well.

well, with these particular 6&7 seeds you have two teams that have won 5 of the last 8 championships, combined have 46 all-star game appearances and 17 appearances on the NBA All-Defensive team

the Lakers starting lineup is:

6'4
6'5
6'9
6'9
6'10

Blazer starting lineup:

6'2
6'3
6'5 (Hart/Little)
6'8
6'11

The top two remaining of the WC poffs, have never won a championship.

"WC poffs"....there's gotta be a joke in there somewhere but I'm blanking out right now

No joke just a factual stat.

If you were British or even had any British background you might not use "Poffs"?

The problem is that their foundation is still stronger than ours. They added supporting pieces.

Dame/Grant/Simons is not even remotely as good as LeBron/AD/Russell.

I was commenting on my lack of imagination

I’m certain I have read that Al Horford is old and washed up.

 

[DDolla]

Embiid an MVP who can’t take over games

I also read that Nurk was a Beast

 

[Hoopguru]

Harden choker bjg time!

 

[Hoopguru]

Harden is such a clutch player!

 

[DDolla]

Up 2, the only way to beat you is 3. Why double and leave the man wide open for 3?

 

[KingSpeed]

Greatest game of Harden’s career

May have saved Rivers job.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Up 3 with 1:30 to go and Smart dribbles for 7 seconds before forcing up a 3. Then he takes another 3 at the end of regulation. Tatum needs to demand the ball and not give it up.
Bad coaching down the stretch by Boston....not calling time out was ok the first time, but the 2nd time was stupid. Brogdon needed to be in the game instead of White.

 

[Whyachi]

Harden or Grant, which one gets bigger FA contract this summer?

 

[DDolla]

Jokic is a beast

 

[DDolla]

The fire power of both teams… damn
