NBA 2019 Playoffs

how did a sniper get into the building?

 

[Aladyyn]

Bet Utah seriously regrets not trading for Porter.

Rough one for the Jazz last night. If you can't beat the Rockets when Harden starts 0-15 then it's clearly not your series. I thought they'd steal one but now it's looking like a sweep.

Anyone else think the Pacers would be very much in this series if they had Oladipo? The Celtics are up 3-0 and might finish it today but they still don't look great to me.

He's a joke.

Westbrook had 1 point in the second half, in a must win game while going 0-7.

 

[The Night King]

Lillard >>> Westbrook

 

[John Price]

Warriors unaffected by that collapse. Won yet again
People saying that they'll be tested in the west, well it's like they're on Mount Everest and everyone else is at base camp. People, the gap between GSW and the west is huge.

A talented team that plays close to 48 minutes, like Milwaukee or Toronto can challenge G-State this year IMO, because the Dubs don't play close to 48 minutes anymore.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Lillard >>> Westbrook

Agreed. I'm already sick of non-HF guys criticizing Westbrook and PG-13's press conferences though. This is America, they have the right to not answer. Even Mike Wilbon said today it's not a big deal. Who cares about the post-game? I don't.

 

[EpochLink]

KD leaving was the best business decision in his career, ever since he’s left OKC has been bounced out two years straight and it will look like 3 by next game.

Westbrook triple double stats doesn’t mean shit if you can win in the post season.

They'll be tested by the Rockets next round. Rockets almost beat them last year and now they'll get them in the second round when Harden and Paul should be fresher. Not sure who'll win but I think it should be a good and competitive series once again.

 

[Reality Check]

I'm not expecting Detroit to win tonight. Much less with another game if they force this to a game 5.

But they're absolutely getting jobbed by the refs tonight.

Well yeah piggy backing to one of the greatest teams ever assembled was a good 'business' decision....not a good 'legacy' decision as everyone outside of the Bay Area hates that turd

Anyway...this Pistons elimination game is actually lit right now.

You think KD cares about his legacy? He just wants to win rings, if you win the hell about what people think about you.

Oh but KD clearly cares about what others think of him .... at least judging by how easy he bites on twitter.

 

[Hadoop]

Lots of respect for Griffin playing on one leg. Says a lot about Detroit though that he's still the best player on the Pistons.

Anyways this is sad to watch, but Milwaukee and Toronto better meet in the ECF because they're both playing ruthlessly right now.


Edit: And Blake just fouled out; take off his wrap and reveals a hinged knee brace(!) Good night Detroit.

 

[Reality Check]

Milwaukee has a 41-10 free throw advantage

Griffin is hobbling out there on one leg. Giannis and the Bucks don't need the extra help, guys

Boston-Milwaukee will be very interesting.

 

[darko]

Only 26 points for Giannis.

 

[Del Preston]

This Utah crowd is bonkers.

He needs to get the hell out of Detroit. Which competently ran team can possibly use him?

 

[Del Preston]

Dwane Casey has been swept in four of the last five postseasons.

Griffin went from one borderline team to another. Though the Clippers have more upside.

He actually fits in very well and I prefer keeping him over some of the contracts you'll see this summer. But Detroit frankly needs to rebuild as they have nothing to put around him. Especially on the wings.

Stuck with Van Gundy's bad contracts for likely another year. But at least we'll have a first round pick this year!

It's fun to shit on the guy but he doesn't deserve any blame for this one. If anything, he helped get this roster into the playoffs.

Philadelphia or Toronto would have been a far better matchup for Detroit. Which they were in position until Griffin's injury.

Milwaukee punked them in the regular season. Hence why this outcome was never in doubt.

At least he got to live in LA as a Clipper. He gets neither a chance at a ring or nice weather in Detroit.
