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

[young_keafor24]

Kawhi is suddenly the "best player in the world" but got 30 banged at home with 21 points on 35% shooting?

AND NO SLANDER BUS?

 

[P C H]

I see Nene was about to kill someone tonight. Wish we kept him.

Is it over if y'all lose tomorrow?

 

[finessesosa]

I don't think LMA nor Pau bent their knees the entire night other than when they set down

LMA got them toddler legs

There is no chemistry between Pau and LMA just like there was no chemistry between Pau and Dwight.

When you think about it, the only time Pau ever played well next to another big was with Odom and Bynum and the only reason was because they ran the triangle offense.

If Pau ain't the focal point on offense, he's not effective at all as a role player.

He was solid in Chi

Because he was the only solid big they had, and thus was the focal point on offense down low and number one option in the paint.

The thing with houston is, is that because they take so many, they have to be reallyyy bad for it to have an effect on the outcome of the game, which is what makes them so tough to me.

That's a fair statement, but folks also gotta realize this aint the Spurs team that made back to back finals. Some folks refuse to live in the present

 

[sooperhooper]

Rockets, Cavs and Gsw all have a superstar(s) that can both create his own shot or slash and finish, surrounded by knock-down shooters.

NBA really is about how well you can guard spread PnR now.

If you can't switch or can't contain until the guard comes over the screen, (Which the spurs can't) then you're basically destined for failure when you run up on teams with Dynamo PnR players like Curry and the Warriors, Harden and the Rockets, or even Chris Paul and the Clippers (Not saying the Clippers are as good as the rockets, but this is why they gave them so much trouble in the regular season)

If you don't switch, you leave a guy like capella diving to the hoop and you can't really tag him because capella's (Or DJ, or Javele) dives are being surrounded by snipers like Gordon, Anderson, Lou Will, etc.

Chuck right man, Toronto gotta elbow somebody. _'s drinking beer and ****. Nah bruh.

Honestly. OKC did the best job against it.

Roberson's ability to pressure full court while navigating screens was phenomenal.

Nah bruh.

Toronto soft AF

Lose tomorrow? Ha ha ha

 

[Peep Game]

Raptors were pathetic, everything Charles said was the truth

 

[geno90221]

Damn Sheed look bad...

Man, did you see the video of LMA surprising the kid at a basketball court? Kid should toss that jersey in the trash where it belongs.

Lmaooo

 

[Mr.Guy]

Inside the NBA is dope with all these retired players.

 

[P C H]

Boom Dizzle a seamless fit with TNT

 

[sole searchin]

People out here with short term memory. Spurs would wash the Rockets, Spurs looking strong, Kawhi MVP and even the best player out there today on both sides, etc.

That being said, Spurs going to adjust, Pop going to adjust. Game 2 is a whole new game and hopefully the Rockets come out the same way today as well as with a backup plan for when the Spurs run the Rockets off the line and their adjustments. Hell, Rockets ran OKC out the gym game 1 and every game after that went down to the wire.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Shaq tries to make everything about him.

 

[geno90221]

Taco meat Chuck 

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Still got Spurs in 5. They are gonna win four straight from here on out...

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I disagree with Chuck on alot of **** but people need to look up how great he was. I think these people assume cuz he ain't win a ring he was just ok. Charles prime was a automatic 25, 12, 4. Dray ain't close to his level, I don't know how that question even came up.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

everyone keeps saying the spurs will adjust but nobody is saying how they will adjust.
tbh that statement is just being thrown out because of who Pop is.
really the only thing they can do is hope Houston doesn't hit 3s at a high clip, which is really irrelevant unless you can somehow limit their attempts.

You won the jazz. You on fire bro. Would you wanna paypal this one?

Charles was given boys the bizzness in Phoenix
