GDT: Charlotte Hornets and other NBA talk

[HisIceness]

Lol Celtics. Bet they wish they would have traded for Jimmy Butler or Paul George now.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

the warriors and cavs are kind of really good at this sport

 

[Lotusflower]

Nothing better than watching the Celtics get destroyed.

The NHL and NBA playoffs are usually opposite in that in the NBA the best series is usually the Finals while the first round is often the best in the NHL

Celolololtics

 

[Navin R Slavin]

"Hey, Bron, I just heard that you're not even a finalist for MVP this year."

"Oh yeah? Hold my beer."

41 point half time deficit is largest in playoff history

earning that #1 pick imo

Spurs fans and Popovich complaining about Zaza playing dirty is hilarious. I guess they forgot about those years Bruce Bowen and his antics, and Robert Horry and his body checking Steve Nash, were wearing San Antonio uniforms.

I hope they get swept.

wonder if they've ever been swept before

Dallas or Phoenix swept them in 2009 or 2010.

And holy ****, the Hawks offered 4 first round picks to the Pacers for Paul George.

The ATL would be a sick team if that had gone through.

I still have no idea why the **** they traded my man Kyle Korver tho.

 

[HisIceness]

Spurs swept. Excellent.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Golden State swept their way to the Finals.

That's pretty good...

 

[HisIceness]

So unpredictable that Cleveland and Golden State would play in the Finals again.

Well at least Boston didn't make it so thats great!

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Am I reading ESPN right that no team had ever even gone 10-0, let alone 12-0 to start a ploffs?

 

[HisIceness]

2001 Lakers swept their way to the Finals. Only lost game 1 of that years Finals. That was back when the first round was still only a best of 5.

So yeah, the Warriors would be the first 12-0 team.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Rip AI's sixers

 

[Navin R Slavin]

We really should have had two 12-0 teams meeting in this finals. Cleveland let us down.

Also: the era of parity is so, so dead in the NBA. They might as well split into two leagues and start pro/rel.

 

[HisIceness]

The East will probably continue to be nothing more than LeBrons playground for at least next year.

If Blake Griffin joins OKC this summer and Westbrook learns to pass him the ball, I could see the Thunder being contenders again.

 

[HisIceness]

The NBA is trying hard to get me not to watch next season.

 

[Brock Anton]

The NBA needed a hard cap, like yesterday. The whole max contract, mid-level exception, trade exception, luxury tax etc. ******** needs to stop. I have no clue why people are so excited about Cleveland-Golden State again. 28 teams go into the season with zero hope of achieving anything. Look at Boston, they had a good-to-great season, and their reward was to get absolutely curbstomped in the ECF by the Cavs (don't get me wrong, I loved every second of it, but still). Seriously, what's the point of having 30 teams if you allow 2 teams to hoard 7 of the top ~25 players in the league?

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

The Cavs trying to help Trump build his wall by donating lots and lots of bricks.

 

[HisIceness]

Warriors are too good.

 

[Breakdowns]

Warriors are too good.

Cavs are not that bad too compared to rest of league

 

[the halleJOKEL]

the regular season and conference playoffs are superfluous

just have these teams play a best of 98 series
