Official Around the NBA April 2019 Playoff Edition

Go Spurs!

 

[blue9]

The Kobe Pau Odom Lakers looked like a multiple title winning powerhouse until they got swept by Dallas.

The Warriors have worse depth than recent seasons. Seem unmotivated after 5 years of finals. 7 years ago the league had a blend of teams with bigs, slashers, shooters, bulky PF. Now the league plays against small ball shooting every game and is prepared to defend the warriors 3pt style.

I certainly would still give the warriors the highest chance of winning a title of any of the 10 teams left. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if they lose. We've seen far stranger things happen every couple seasons.

Plus, after success teams get complacent and think they can just "flip the switch" when the really need to. It's super hard not to fall into that trap.

SAS starting this game out very similarly to how the Thunder did.

Hopefully different results

 

[BonesJones]

I hope the Spurs win this so that the series is at least 7 games.

Are we certain the Blazers would play Monday?

 

[TBpup]

Why do people keep asking that question? We play Monday.

 

[BonesJones]

It's crazy how underrated Rudy Gay has become.

I wish we had him coming off our bench.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Seems like Denver is getting every call.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

SAS cant stop them from getting whatever shot they want.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

Either way this series ends we’re going to be facing a beloved former Blazer...

Will Barton
Or
Patty Mills

 

[BonesJones]

Nice shot DeRozan!

EDIT - Doesn't count.

 

[BonesJones]

Wow DeRozan with the putback on his own FT with 0.8 seconds left?! Wow!

Yeah that was borderline, but probably no good if it started on time.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Jokic is almost impossible to stop with all the 3 point threats around him. Really wish we bad Nurkic.

RIP John Havlicek.

I went to a few baseball games over the summer, the home teams mascot is a shark, and their new catcher was only 19, so they hazed their own catcher by playing baby shark every time he went up to bat.

I thought it was pretty funny, my missus couldn’t stand it.

Jokic looks like if Greg Ostertag and Andrei Kirilenko had a baby.

Ive got 3 girls all 4 or younger, I hear that song about 100x a day, I dont turn it on, they just sing it over and over.

 

[Natebishop3]

So how would we match up with San Antonio if they get past them in game 7?

 

[EGame]

looking more and more like a game 7 which is cool.
