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

[hardens beard]

Gonna be interesting how the rockets guard him. If I'm pringles, I double him every time when he's initiating the PNR and single cover him in the post. Under no circumstance am I switching.

 

[noblekane]

so yall put him over westbrook, lebron, kd, curry, and lebron?

cuz you said top 5

He easily better than Westbrook. He got curry by the slimmest margin. You put lebron twice and I think Durant is the best player in the world:

 

[pmatic]

Bron
Durant
Curry
Kawhi
Harden (my MVP vote though)

 

[antidope]

Order rankings lead to bias but the four tier one basketball players in the league are LeBron Durant Curry and Kawhi.

Harden (my MVP vote though)

I had Harden ahead of Kawhi before season started, my top 5 now looks like this except Curry ahead of Durant

i meant harden for one of those lebrons lol

 

[krazy88s]

Knew the Bucks inability to shoot would be their downfall 

Giannis and his long steps to the basket can only get you so far

 

[Proposition Joe]

1. Bron
2. Kawhi/Durant

The rest is up to you

Disagree with that. Harden clearly a tier 1 player. You don't win the 3rd most games in the league without another allstar and not be one

That's fair. I honestly haven't revised my list yet I wouldn't be adverse to including him.

The defense thing is my main hangup but it

I think it's going to be interesting as hell how the Clippers react tonight. If they get punched in the mouth early, do they fold up? Or do they keep fighting for game seven?

 

[Peep Game]

Hopefully they just get punched and fold, cause I'm interested in seeing how the Clips look going forward when their big 3 is Rivers, Luc Bootay and Jordan

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Spurs in 6
Aldridge gonna fold nene

 

[addict4sneakers]

Rockets in 7.

Spurs can't switch PNR

 

[hardens beard]

Rockets in 7.

Spurs can't switch PNR

I would be shocked if they tried. They'll probably sink there bigs and stay home on shooters. OKC used that strategy after game 1. It limited Hardens playmaking and made him more of scorer.

TBH I don't have much interest left for this series at all.  I'm ready for it to end.

Now SA vs. Houston on the other hand could not be more interesting.  No idea how that's going to play out.  Aldridge really needs to step up this round, though.

 

[QU!K]

I think Raptors put up a better fight than the Pacers. Win at least 1 game

Excited to watch the true MVP battle between Kawhi and Harden

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Cavs in 5.

actually Cavs in 6, Lebron likes partying in Toronto, so he'll drop an extra game to back to Toronto.



I swear he did that last year, I remember him saying something like "I wouldn't mind going back to Toronto for game 6"

 

[rbk93]

Rockets in 7, maybe 6.

Going to be a great series.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

What if Giannis never develops a consistent jumper? He's still top 10.

Avy check

I think it's going to be interesting as hell how the Clippers react tonight. If they get punched in the mouth early, do they fold up? Or do they keep fighting for game seven?

Is this a legit question? It's the clippers

 

[rbk93]

Kawhi isn't top 5 either.

 

[art vandelay]

Kawhi isn't top 5 either.

In terms of what....

 

[100027]

 
Kawhi isn't top 5 either.

Kawhi isn't top 5 what?  Centers?  PGs?

 

[Benny Hinn]

Sticking with my bracket picks.

Hell was I thinking picking the Clips
