The Pistons are hitting on all cylinders, and are tuned up to drive the distance. Only to discover after about 40 minutes that they forgot to fill up on gas.

DireWolfSpirit Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 If Detroit can keep this contained they will steal this one in Cle. Reggie Jackson is the best closer we've had since Chauncey, the dude is an ice PG in the closing minutes on 3pt shooting, penetrating and drawing contact, hitting the FT's. One thing i'm certain of they will have to keep composure as a young team because the Cavs will get most of these close calls and they will have to shake that and play through it. Its Crunch time, can they hold on in a road game????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I've only been watching since just before the end of the third. Is Kyrie out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireWolfSpirit Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Fun game one, Cleveland doing much better in the 4th making the extra pass and Detroit not moving without the ball worth a shit. Cleveland 1 Detroit 0, we'll be back next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 The Heat are turning this game with Charlotte into a laugher early. But what was it they used to say on SportsCenter? Maybe Van Pelt? "This is the NBA and everyone makes a run." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Whiteside has really established himself this year, he's the real deal. Miami having their way with Charlotte on the HC today. Still expect this series to tighten up significantly as it goes on. Charlotte had the NBA's 3rd best record after the All Star break ( behind only GS and S.A.), so they can still answer the bell (for games 2,3,4,etc.) but this is a drubbing through the 3rd.

KingintheNorth4 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Color me impressed with Detroit. Their starters, most of them in their first playoff game, played great. But as a Bulls fan, it shows just how tough the central division is, and I hope the Bulls make the right this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Of the four Western Conference playoff games, the "closest" was the Clippers by 20. Ugh, I wish these were still best of 5, or if there could be a "mercy rule" that if you win the first three, the series is just over. EDIT: On the plus side, the Thunder and Clippers looked good, maybe the second round will be more compelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LA and OKC both match up pretty well with Golden State and San Antonio, respectively. I think both of those series go at least 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Very good performance by Detroit, really went all the way with a full strength Cavs team. That is a promising start, but can they keep that intensity up? Other game I saw was the Rockets getting crushed by Golden State. Harden was woeful. Even if they rest Curry the rest of the series, Golden State has this, such is the difference. I'll also note that I think Detroit is definitely a stronger team than Houston.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The Raptors have evened things up with the Pacers in game 2 of their series. The Mavs are keeping pace with OKC, 54-48 Thunder about halfway through the 3rd. Curry officially out of Game 2 with the Rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy win. Don't let the final score fool you the game was over with 3 mins left with the pacers down twenty and subbing out their good players. The only time Indiana was in the game was the second quarter when DeRozan allowed everyone and their mother to score on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Turned on the OKC game just in time to see the end. Adams barely late on the putback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrum Aeternum Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yeah, Westbrook and Durant both had chances at the end but it was well-defended. Kudos to the Mavs for hanging in there and getting the W after being outmatched the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started watching in the 2nd during Sharks intermission and was like, how is this game so close. Eventually I figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
