[Fairly-Hard]

Spurs are done

Pop didn’t even worry about calling a time out.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Pretty messed up for both the Suns and Jazz. They could both end up in a very tough first round.

 

[trailblazer18]

Pop is the crypt keeper. What is he actually thinking with that look

Why is this messed up? The west is crazy strong right now.

What's messed up? The play-ins actually give the two top seeds an additional advantage over whoever ends up as seven and eight because those teams get less rest. I think since the Suns and Jazz have been in those top two spots they've been seen as very vulnerable even as early as the first round. There's just a lot of parity in the West and the defending champs had a season plagued by injury but they seem to be getting well at the right time.

It's extremely likely that the Suns and Jazz will face the defending champs and the remnants of the leagues most recent dynasty. Oh well.

It's funny because apparently twitter doesn't know what the Gadsden flag is either.

I guess I just don’t feel working all season to get the first or second seed and then drawing the Lakers is an advantage. Or Golden State for that matter.

 

[TBpup]

Brook really harassing DeRozen. Love the passion he plays with. DeRozen 0-1st half when being guarded by Brooks.

 

[DDolla]

DeRozan playing scared when your season is on the line.

 

[DDolla]

Dillon Brooks is a competitor. Love him when he plays for you

 

[Cugel]

Jonas dominating the glass. Not even funny.

 

[Chris Craig]

Spurs are done

 

[Cugel]

Brooks is impressive. Not a pretty game, but he gets the job done.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Spurs are done

Least they made a game of it. Looked pretty bleak in the first quarter.

 

[Chris Craig]

Time for Pop to retire

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Rudy Gay was supposed to be a star in this league. Good player. Not great and his career has been pretty quiet?

 

[DDolla]

Kent Bazemore got better after leaving Portland. Must be the coach

 

[BigGameDamian]

Time for Pop to retire

I'll take Pop in Portland!

 

[DDolla]

The Lakers can guard Curry but they can’t guard Dame?

 

[Chris Craig]

The Lakers can guard Curry but they can’t guard Dame?

I have never seen Curry stopped like this

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go Warriors

 

[DDolla]

Steph Curry is unbelievable

 

[THE HCP]

@THE HCP , thoughts on your inevitable matchup against the Suns.

Feel bad for Coach Monty!

 

[TBpup]

Lakers down 13 at half.

So to start the 2nd half, 2 fouls on the Warriors in the first 30 seconds. 3 fouls in the first 1:12. 4 fouls in the first 1:28.

So predictable.

Because the Lakers are taking it to the basket and drawing contact instead of launching bad shots from outside? Or do you have some sort of X-Files type conspiracy while you type in your tin foil hat?

But the real question is how do you feel about your matchup against the Suns?

 

[julius]

Curry was fouled on a 3 point shot, and the first thing JVG say that Curry "stuck his leg out" when the replay clearly showed he didn't.

Already said.....I fell sorry for all the hard work Coach Monty put in this season. To get taken out in the first round.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Warriors blew it
