NBA 2018 NBA Playoffs

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Sixers showing some fight, up by 11 after 3.

I have no idea how we ended up with the 2 East series being played on the same day. 6 PM starts are dumb.

 

[Virtanen18]

McConnell has been the Sixers best player through nearly an entire half of play.

Through the series tbh lol

 

[Jack Straw]

McConnell is having the game of his life.

 

[Avs_19]

This game doesn't feel like it's over.

edit: McConnell comes back in and the Celtics run stops. Haha.

 

[Melrose Munch]

TJ Mac killing it

Sorry about the raptors, I don't know whats next.

GS already won

Houston will lose to Golden State imo. I had them winning before.

 

[Avs_19]

Lets see which Raptors team shows up tonight.

FWIW, Zach Lowe predicts at least one of Casey, Lowry, and DeRozan will be gone if they don't make this a respectable series, which they likely won't.

 

[Stylizer1]

Nobody is falling for DeFrozens pump fakes.

 

[Avs_19]

Three of the easiest baskets George Hill will ever get.

 

[Stylizer1]

At least Toronto is bringing it tonight.

 

[Hadoop]

Wow the Cavs very efficient so far. Their movement looks nothing like the disjointed team we saw in the regular season.

 

[Virtanen18]

God I just love FVV

 

[La Masse]

Well Cavs are definately going to the finals again

 

[Avs_19]

Cavs are up 16 with LeBron still just chillin and not even looking to score.

On the night one team conquered their demons (Caps/Pens), another can't.

Kinda ironic in a way- Ovechkin conquered his white whale (OT assist), the Raptors still can't.

What does that say about hockey/basketball?

Pittsburgh had as big a mental edge as any team can have over another save for BOS/MTL back in the day, but even THAT changed.

Ovechkin has had bigger demons, yet he finally conquers his ghost.

 

[c9777666]

Well Cavs are definately going to the finals again

The Pens may be gone, but the Cavs are still hanging around.

Now that PIT lost, Cleveland is basically the new closest thing for now to an Eastern Conference inevitability.

 

[Virtanen18]

Ok Casey should be sacked for putting Bebe in this game lol

 

[c9777666]

Wow the Cavs very efficient so far. Their movement looks nothing like the disjointed team we saw in the regular season.

They got a new lease on life after that Pacers scare.

It's like they realized 'WE CAN'T GO 1-ON-5 AND GET AWAY WITH IT'

Sure enough...... other guys are scoring 20 after nobody last series scored more than 19.

 

[c9777666]

George Hill could never beat LeBron when it mattered in Indy.

Can't beat em, join em, I guess.

 

[Avs_19]

Ok Casey should be sacked for putting Bebe in this game lol

You joke but I'm about to take back what I said about just running it back because they don't have much of a choice. The Raptors are going out like a bunch of chumps.

 

[c9777666]

To think, the guys Cleveland acquired at the trade deadline- Nance/Hood/Clarkson- that everyone raved about have done next to nothing here.

THEY aren't the reason this is happening.

Save for Kevin Love- 29- and Tristan Thompson- 27- most of the scoring and timely stuff this series has been done by 30-somethings.

Jeff Green- 31
George Hill- 32
LeBron- 33
Kyle Korver- 37
JR Smith- 32

Oldest team in the league, lots of mileage.... yet you wouldn't know it.

We rave about youth in the NBA (Celtics, Sixers, Jazz, Milwaukee, Pelicans), yet it's the old dudes who are balling out.

 

[Reality Check]

Raptors are who(well, most of us) we thought they were.

I'm surprised TNT didn't break out the Globetrotters music at halftime. All they did was clown them at halftime.

Like it or not, they might to have fire their coach over this or make a major trade involving one of their "stars".

On the same night the Capitals conquered THEIR demons...... go figure.

WAS was basically the Generals against Pittsburgh for years.... and we just saw them overcome even bigger baggage.

That move turned the defecit from four to fourteen in less than two minutes.

 

[Avs_19]

DeRozan follows up his 8 point game with 13 points tonight and an ejection. What a disaster of a series for him.

 

[PG Canuck]

Bye bye DeFrozen
