I can't wait for Wizards and Celtics. That's going to be one hell of a game!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Russ will have a triple double tonight. Book it!

 

[THE HCP]

 

[BlazerBeav]

Is Indiana actually that hurt, or do they want the lottery?

 

[DDolla]

Imagine being out for safety protocol during playoff. That means you’re done

 

[DDolla]

LOL Vanterpool left for the same position on a shitty team then let go

Interesting.
Experts wow....that’s refreshing

[THE HCP]

So New Orleans and Minny or Memphis moves to the EAST?

So New Orleans and Minny or Memphis moves to the EAST?

Not sure, but I don't think anyone would really be upset with that.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Cody Zeller sucks. I bet Charlotte can't wait to get rid of this guy and it's contract.

Crazy that it's an even split.

hes expiring contract and i dont know about their cap situation, but i assume they will be one of the teams that will go after nurk in free agency if the blazers dont lock him up earlier

 

[Chris Craig]

Pacers dispatching the Hornets like I thought

 

[Haakzilla]

Lol, Le'melo complete no show wow!

Imagine that, a 19 year old kid playing in his first playoff game not doing well.

Imagine that, a 19 year old kid playing in his first playoff game not doing well.

Dame's first playoff game for reference:

Starters MP FG FGA FG% 3P 3PA 3P% FT FTA FT% ORB DRB TRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS +/-
Damian Lillard 45:50 9 19 .474 3 7 .429 10 12 .833 2 7 9 5 0 0 1 3 31 +7

 

[Cugel]

And no Levert.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Pacers proving me wrong. Good for them.

 

[Cugel]

Sabonis is just unstoppable on both ends. Impressive stuff

 

[Hoopguru]

Crazy that it's an even split.

I expect both Dame & Joker to strut their MVP deserving look.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Pacers dispatching the Hornets like I thought

Having Sabonis really makes a big difference.

 

[Road Ratt]

Go Celtics!

Send Westbrook packing.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Charlotte will beat Indy!

lol

 

[KSF-ERIC]

So New Orleans and Minny or Memphis moves to the EAST?

No. Math:

15 west
15 east

2 teams added to west

17 west
15 east

ONE team moves to east (prob Memphis)

16 west
16 east

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Go Celtics!

Send Westbrook packing.

I’d rather Westbrook send KD packing. Go Wizards!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I had not realized all year that Westbrook doesn’t wear 0 anymore. Is there a Wizards legend that wore 0? They didn’t retire Arenas did they?

 

[Driew]

Probably like Roy here--people just don't wear 7 in a Portland uniform. I think Agent 0 gets that respect in washington.

[Ed O]

It's truly a unique strategy to be good now and great later.

Other teams should try that!
