2016 NBA Playoffs thread - Part 2

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Like LeBron said in his letter...''In Northeast Ohio nothing is given, everything is earned.''

They'll have to earn it if they are to win the title. Love and Irving will have to play like superstars.

 

[Jack Straw]

Gotta feel for OKC.

 

[EpochLink]

CHOKE

What a collapse

 

[Halladay]

Durant was pretty good tonight, but he cost them the series in game 6. Westbrook had a bad game tonight.

 

[Del Preston]

I'd like to see Cleveland finally win a title.

 

[Virtanen18]

OKC played pretty good here, but what can you do when the other team is chucking 3's and hitting them from anywhere? That **** is demoralizing even to me as a fan. I don't know if they even would have won, but that Ibaka foul at the end and his foul on Livingston for 3 point play grinds my gears.

Cavs in 4.

 

[le_sean]

Good, glad Westbrook sucked. Sick of his face and demeanor.

 

[pahlsson]

blunder

 

[KaylaJ]

that seems like the kind of loss that some of those guys won't even realize happened til clean out day. what a long flight that'll be.


also, whoever is kicked by Green on the Cavs probably won't take it as well as Adams so that'll be interesting.

 

[Halladay]

chOKC

 

[serp]

I barely watched the NBA this year but my bias against OKC is still there . Very happy they're not in the finals. Hate that team.

 

[kihei]

Glad GS won. They are a lot of fun to watch when they get going.

His takedown of Adams today was dirty as **** too. Look out, Kevin Love.

ABL

Anyone But LeBron

Go Warriors.

 

[HisIceness]

RIP Kevin Durant playing for OKC Thunder?

I'd like to see Cleveland finally win a title.

Same. This imo is their best shot. If they don't get it either this year or next, that might be it.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

What a ridiculous league. Sigh.

 

[EpochLink]

Westbrook was trash all game.
Who's laughing now Russ?

 

[kihei]

OKC's guards went 11 for 41.

 

[serp]

Still my favorite NBA gif of all time

 

[Virtanen18]

OKC's guards went 11 for 41.

They need to get some 3 point shooting. Was a huge difference maker in these close games. Last game the points from 3 were like 66-9 in favour of GS or something ridiculous like that.

 

[Virtanen18]

Assuming everyone stays put:

Durant, 27 years old
Westbrook, 27
Adams, 22
Ibaka, 26 (36?)
Kanter, 24
Roberson, 24
Waiters, 24

A lot to like there.

 

[Avs_19]

I don't think I can call that a choke job. The reigning champs and one of the best teams ever just fought back and took it. These last two games were close until the end.

Can't fault Durant for tonight either. He had a really good game. Just didn't get much help from his teammates.

 

[No More Subban]

I think OKC lost this series because they let GSW dictate the game. GS went small ball, OKC also went small ball.

OKC should've kept the bigs in the game. Make GS make the adjustment.

I thought this would be an unpopular opinion lol. On the scale of choke jobs, I think this is far lower than say last year's Clippers.

They need to get a real backup point guard. RW needs some rest/help. Same with KD.

OKC have two backup PGs and they're both useless.
