Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 This has been the Jazz's sort of game. They've slowed down the pace, are playing very solid defense, and not turning the ball over. That said, The Warriors manage to stretch the lead to 8 on back to back 3's with about 3 minutes left. 92-84 Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 No doubt the Jazz's strongest showing to date, but it still ends in a fairly comfortable Warrior's win. 102-91 final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunderMifflin Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Jazz seem better without george hill. Their ball movement has been better the last two games than at any point of the Clippers series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayward and Gobert have both been really good, particularly on the offensive end, but it seems they are about 75% of the Jazz's offense. They need a 3rd piece.

DunderMifflin Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Or a good pass first point guard. They are one of the worst teams in the nba at team assists. Definately the worst of the playoffs. Hill only got about 4 a game, u need more than that from your starter. They are built for defense so they are one of the lowest scoring teams so low points = low assists but I think they could stand to get another offensive playermaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 This has been the worst NBA playoffs I can remember. The finals should be good, but the league's best teams all took huge steps back this year outside of Golden State and Cleveland. Some teams that should contend in the future are emerging with Boston, Utah, Milwaukee, but overall just a really bad year from a competition standpoint.

DunderMifflin Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I love the wizards Celtics series, it's fun to see teams openly hate each other rather than the LebRon era style of its not a rivalry and we're all BFFs off the court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantw Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Nothing like sitting down to watch a Cavs playoff game and getting to hear Hubie openly root for the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 And Toronto goes out with a whimper. I hope either The Wiz or the Celts give the Cavs more trouble than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they were just find and pacing themselves. Assuming it is Golden State v. Cleveland it will seem weird and improbable to see Mike Brown head coaching against Cleveland in the finals. Some teams just deserve the benefit of the doubt. Any team with LeBron on it is a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Holy Shit! The Wiz went on a 26-0 run in the 3rd and now hold a 22 point lead in the 4th. Looks like Beal found his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 And the Celts looked lost on both ends of the floor in the 2nd half. Isiah has lost the magic. The Wiz getting production from every starting slot and from Bogdanovic off the bench. Seems that OT loss in Game 2 lit a fire under their asses.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Looks like Harden is back to his MVP form 19 pts and 8 assists thus far. Rockets hold an 11 point lead about halfway through the 3rd. 70-59 Rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've somehow missed the other half of the series where the Spurs are in control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockets with a 24 point lead with 3 minutes to go. This has been a Jekyl and Hyde series for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 So apparently Thomas was a bit miffed about being held so much in game 4. Good thing he never has to play against the Celtics, he would hate it. The second round of the playoffs has been a snoozefest thus far, but at least the Wiz-Celtics series is living up to the hype. The Wizards have come a lot closer to stealing one in Boston than visa versa, but the fact remains that the Celtics still have home court, which has been huge in this series. Feel like if the Wizards are gonna come out on top in this series, winning game 5 in Boston is going to be easier than winning game 7. Plus, for some crazy reason, game 4 was Sunday, then Wednesday/Friday, then if we have a game 7 it's MONDAY. Why so much waiting? Why not a nice Sunday night game to decide things?

Gotta love him complaining about the officiating when the officials giving him forty free throws a game this year was basically what made him relevant.

Thomas averaged 8.5 free throws per game in the regular season. For reference, Russell Westbrook averaged 10.4. Harden averaged 10.9. Damn refs making Russ and Harden relevant! Thomas's free throws per game in the Washington series: Game 1: 7 Game 2: 13 Game 3: 11 Game 4: 0 But sure, it's just the free throws that make him relevant. Why, take away his rash of gimme free throws from Game 2 and he would only have had 41 points. What irrelevance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Prince of Dorne Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I don't mind seeing the best teams dominating their series. I like when there are two or three dominant teams. I would like to see the first two rounds be 5 games though, while leaving the Conference and NBA Finals at 7 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
