Official Around the NBA May 2019 Playoff Edition Thread!

[Wade Garrett]

Philly, then Portland, now Boston putting up some road duds.

 

[kjironman1]

nba (doesn't) cares.

Sure did give Meyers a Flagrant 1 for a basketball play that was a bit rough. Wonder what their idea is about this?

 

[Cugel]

yep kyrie is long gone. back to lbj and co?

 

[KingSpeed]

Stevens is great.

If you don't have a good culture, it doesn't matter how good a coach is. Kyrie is a poor peader and their culture isnt good. Without him, they were 1 game from the Finals last year. Giannis is also a freak of nature and Milwaukee is really good.

People base coaching off of results too much.

Culture starts at the top. Owner/GM/Coach.

 

[KingSpeed]

yep kyrie is long gone. back to lbj and co?

Possibly. Lue too. And LeBron wants Thibs as assistant coach.

 

[illmatic99]

KD looks so focused.

Look at how he's exalting them. He knows they can't lose this game

 

[KingSpeed]

Chris Paul contract is worse than John Wall’s.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Chris Paul contract is worse than John Wall’s.

Maybe, but at least Chris paul is still playing, Ive heard guys on the radio say Wall may not even be back next year.

Who?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Who?

I only listen to 1080 and 620 so one of the morning guys on 620 probably as thats what I listen to the most.

Yeah....
Not quite the direction I was going with it.

 

[Titan]

All game 5s might turn into blowouts

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Yeah....
Not quite the direction I was going with it.

I wasnt sure which direction you were going, so I took a stab it. Hey my guessing is just as accurate as the Blazers shooting! lol.

 

[Wade Garrett]

WTF Steph Curry?
He must owe money to the mob.

 

[BonesJones]

Culture starts at the top. Owner/GM/Coach.

No it doesn't. If your best player is a shitty leader, it can create a toxic culture all on its own.

 

[illmatic99]

OH SHIT

KD just tore his achilles

 

[Titan]

Hmm, KD got hurt now

 

[Wade Garrett]

Oh boy..
The seas just opened up.
The ticket is there for the taking.

 

[LayneStaley]

Omg we could've had HC in the WCF if we didn't Fuck Game 4 to HELL!

 

[riverman]

WTF Steph Curry?
He must owe money to the mob.

I'm thinking he'd love to get away from a few Warrior assholes and watch his brother play in the next round...get some down time to spend his millions and play a bit...he looks bored.

 

[LayneStaley]

We really are fucking cursed.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh shit. Durant may have torn his Achilles.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Omg we could have HC in the WCF if we did Fuck Game 4 to HELL!

My thoughts too.
Fuck.

 

[KingSpeed]

No it doesn't. If you're best player is a shitty leader, it can create a toxic culture all on its own.

You don't understand how business works. Kyrie isn't there unless GM and owner approve. They brought him there. They put together the roster. They could've traded him in February. Culture starts at the top. The GM, coach, owner decide what kind of team they want. They wanted Kyrie and stayed with him.

 

[Lukee]

Feel sorry for KD, even though I don't like him. This is terrible injury...

but, we could have HC in WCF, pick yourself up Blazers!

 

[LayneStaley]

I’m mad, 3 missed Dame FTs and a Collins tech. FUCK!

 

[Wade Garrett]

Let's hope Barkley knows his shit.

 

[BonesJones]

If only we could win the 2nd round. We wouldve had a legit chance at the Finals. Sigh.

 

[LayneStaley]

I really think it’s gonna go 7, I just don’t like our odds with the refs and in Den for that game.
