Of course based on the start of OT, Miami seems deadset on making it irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah...and another drawn out replay. This shit is so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonesy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Blazers are mocking the dubs by playing their game, but better. Warriors gonna Warrior though. Up ten with a minute left. My not getting nervous until they're down by 20 in the fourth remains intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Wow, the Cavs are starting to assert themselves. They set the record for 3 pointers in a single game with 25 in route to a Game 2 drubbing of the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bauer 24 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Seriously what are the Hawks doing? Are the Cavs really that bad, or are the Hawks really this bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawks are just not equipped to beat the Cavs. Remember, the Cavs easily swept them last year with Kevin Love out entirely and with Irving out for two of the four games (and he only played 22 minutes in game four). The Hawks are a great regular season team when teams don't bother scouting for them every night, but as soon as they run into a team with some actual star players in the playoffs and a coach with time to game plan for them, they meet the wood chipper.

That and it seems like the Cavs are finally getting their shit in order. Maybe the Hawks bring that out in them, but they are starting to look like the world beaters they should've been earlier in the season. Maybe the WCF won't be the championship after all. Starting to get a bit excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Bird threw maximum amounts of shade at Vogel after he fired him, including telling reporters at his press conference that Vogel basically begged to keep his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to get a bit excited. I'd also say that the Cavs have a habit of playing down to their competition and taking games off during the regular season. Statistically they were pretty great this year, but since they rarely just outright obliterated teams people didn't notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a surprisingly good season after seeing it blown up last year. I feel like Stotts got robbed of coach of the year. It's not that I don't see the case for Kerr. But they were the loaded defending champs, and look how well they did with Walton in there. Portland finished about 20 places higher than predicted if you take the whole league. That is insane. I don't think they were ever winning that series against the Clippers though, injuries were truly crucial there. They might have won a second game at some point , granted. Clearly they have great team spirit but they really need some improvements in the summer to get better. Lillard and McCollum are basically the only guys you'd want to have as starters, and maybe at a stretch Plumlee at center. Keep the team spirit, but upgrade at SF and PF.

David Selig Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The Raptors play such ugly basketball on offense. Endless ISOs ending with contested long 2s, which are usually taken by two players who have been ice cold the whole playoffs. They should be using Valanciunas way more. In the 4th quarter they don't pass the ball at all and keep stalling until the shot clock gets to less than 8 seconds left and then force a terrible shot. I don't get why they are making it so much harder for themselves with that nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure where to rate The Raps or the Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why they are making it so much harder for themselves with that nonsense. Dwayne Casey is a terrible coach when it comes to offense and to top it off DeRozan doesn't pass the ball. It's why even though the Raps are in the second round I'm not enjoying the playoffs. I know Casey won't be fired now and even though he has played like utter shit I have no doubt they will throw the max at DeRozan. It's kind of a particular hell for me, I didn't watch the game live yesterday as I just didn't want to watch that shit unless they were going to win. EDIT: I forgot to say the one thing that is positive: JV is awesome, JV is love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Heat are the second best team in the East and probably the 6th best team in the league w/ Bosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I think the Cavs are closing the gap, and OKC always has a shot when Durant and Westbrook are on fire. I wouldn't say the gap is huge between those 4 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briantw Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Cavs have hit sixty three pointers in three games. Another 21 tonight. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
