Exclusive Official Around the NBA Playoffs - 2015 Conference Finals Edition

Probably not. But if one player can change any outcome regardless of people around him it's LeBron. This will be his 5th straight final... Idk if this has been done since Bill Russell was in the league.

Kerr won 4 straight championships as a player.

Terry is averaging 1.5 assists a game over the last 10 and he is playing 24 minutes a game. With Portland he would be averaging about 12 minutes max. I don't understand the love for this guy. But I guess if you miss Mo then running an offense is not exactly a prerequisite for your PGs. Which is fine, nothing wrong with scoring Pgs. Although against GS he is averaging 28 minutes per game and shooting 30% from the field while scoring 6 PPG.

Mo led all bench players in the NBA in assists the year he played for us.

Terry works for the Rockets because Harden is their PG. That's obvious, right? He has the ball in his hands approximately 90% of the time he's on the floor. So the guy playing next to him just has to be able to hit an open jump shot. I wouldn't want Terry for Portland. But then I don't want Blake, either. Shaun Livingston would have been perfect.

I wanted him too. Looks like he made the right choice though. He's playing for the eventual champions.

Horrors horford ejected for flagrant two

 

[PDXFonz]

I don't know how this makes any sense, but would Livingston have stayed healthy here?

Why do we have such bad luck with injuries? Is there a point where it stops becoming a coincidence, or simply 'bad luck'?

That's why Beverley isn't a great starter. He doesn't work with Harden very well. Neither did Lin.

What do you guys think about these Cavs fans?

 

[PDXFonz]

I find it funny how obvious it is that Blatt is Lebrons puppet. Looked like Lebron was nodding to him to take a time out there.

What do you guys think about these Cavs fans?

I didn't like the cheering of Delladova but they seem to be representing themselves nicely. I also dont' think that Delladova is doing any of this stuff intentionally to hurt anyone but the guy is out of control and realizes he has to go after every loose ball hard or he wont be playing.

 

[PDXFonz]

I think I could actually get behind Cleveland winning their first championship. That city has had some really bad sports teams over the years.

I'm sure there are some real fans in that fan base who have been waiting their entire lives for a championship, and were waiting for one when Lebron was in grade school. I can get behind Cleveland winning one for them.

I'm not opposed to Hawks/Cleveland/GSW winning the championship this year. Rockets fan can go F themselves though.

 

[PDXFonz]

Great job by Thompson to keep that ball. Dude is going to get paid.

 

[PDXFonz]

Seems like the fans were watching a prompt that said "Cheer and be on TV", because as soon as they saw they were on TV they stopped cheering, pointed at the big screen, and then sat down...

So many arena's seem like they have fans like that, and then there are some like GSW, POR who don't need to be told how to cheer for their team.

 

[Pinwheel1]

WTF did Atlanta shoot with 20 seconds up 1 when they could have run the clock down to 4 secs? Very stupid iMO

They have F'ed themselves... they met GSW.

Me too.

They did but now i'v got this sneaky suspicion GSW are going to lay off the gas and Houston is going to win the next 2 games and were going to have to hear about them "trying ot make history" for the next week.

Imagine what we would have to deal with if they do make history.

Dellevedova is dirty.

Sign him, Neil!

Anybody know when the last time was when both conference finals were sweeps?

Isn't it the first time ever that both conference finals have been 3-0 since the seven game format?

Could be. I can't remember another time. Makes for a pretty lame playoffs.

It's already been a really lame playoffs.

Clippers-Spurs has been the only good series.

When the Warriors spanked the Rockets by 35 I couldn't believe my eyes

LeBronze is such a drama queen. I keep expecting someone from off the Cav's bench to come drape a cape over him, à la James Brown . . .

I gotta ask what you mean by a drama queen because nothing iv seen from him this post season is anything out of the norm for an NBA superstar. More importantly iv tried to figure out the LeBronze comment but I must be to hung over to figure it out.

People just hate on Lebron and need to stop. That's all.
