2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

[geno90221]

 
Remember when everyone in the thread called Klay Thompson a B.A.N. when he didn't congratulate the Cavs last year?

I hope you all see what just happened after that loss.

1st round series aint no damn Championship

In the playoffs weaknesses get exposed and these role players on OKC can't do **** on offense. Mix that with Russ who can be reckless and that's what happy. They gotta get him some shooters. Houston was just a better team. Harden ain't even play that good these last 2 games and they still won.

 

[jaycruz.]

 

Can never see Russ being the best player on a championship team. Never

KD neither

You will this year

Roberson is absolutely an elite defender. He's been giving Harden fits on defense, that's why Houston sets a pick every damn time.

It has to be mental with Roberson shooting FT's. They showed a stat where he shot 70% from the line in his rookie season. Doubt he shot that many free throws but damn, it has to be mental at this point.

He went 7/10 his rookie year

Wont support KD's decision to join the Warriors, but it's clear as day why KD left.

 

[HOU$TON]

Sore loser? Naw fam he's tired from playing 59988084 mins 

Show some class, ducking off like Isaiah Thomas back in the day

Just glad this triple double talk can stop and we can get back to W's

Not a Westbrook hater, loves his energy and all out motor and I wish some Rockets had his heart. That being said, he needs to be held accountable. OKC needs a coach or a player that's gonna get in his face (no disrespect, just saying it how it is or calm him down) ala Draymond, KG, etc.

Before the season started, people everywhere had good outlooks on OKC (at least better gen Houston's) and preferred Adams, Kanter, Dipo to Capela, Bev etc. Plus the signings of Ryan Anderson/Eric Gordon were rediculed and made fun of. Add in Dougie and Taj and imo the Thunder underperformed. Not throwing it on Russ but mainly the coaching and development of the team throughout the year.

Again hell of a season Russ, but W's matter.

The irony in their roster makeup is that if they weren't so offensively inept and if they didn't have big men who don't mind boxing out for a PG...he likely wouldn't have had the triple double season 

as far as im concerned...Russ / OKC fans should be happy they were what they were this season. He got his 05-06 Kobe Season out of the way.

He shot 70 on 10 attempts I do think it's mental though along with that high *** arc

These Jazz uniforms are TRASH

Jealous of the Don

Who's better 2006 Suns or 2017 Rockets?

 

[nikekid6]

lmao that foul

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

How so? Can you explain this to me? Last time I checked, a team can go over the cap when resigning their own players.

The real issue will be when they have to pay Draymond or Klay. Because Klay ends his deal a year before Draymond. But what happens if they all just agree to take less? It's not like we've never seen that before. The Spurs did it, the Miami Heat did it. Why wouldn't the Warriors do it as well?

All 4 guys are arguably in their prime or entering their prime. This team can be special for a long time.

it happened before they cant keep all of them grow up. They got their ring and are gonna take that 100+ million dollar contract to which ever team offers.

 

[tomdiginson]

Billy D is a good coach but he isn't a good coach at the same time. Weird.

White PG not playin tonight

He's on the floor.

[Canadian Destroyer]

First round ko was inevitable. Unbelievable season by westbrook, he needs some shooters.

 

[QU!K]

Tired of this fraud stat padding MVP, Silver better intervene and give it to Kawhi/Harden

 

[CJMcfly26]

need a hayward jersey asap

Why would you want a Brendan Haywood Jersey?

Never mind lol totally misread that

This. They got at least a ring. None of them have that pressure that Bron had or KD has. And at some point you know Klay wants to try being the man somewhere.

Back From The Dead!
