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

[mr2cool80]

Day 2 of the 2016-2017 NBA Playoffs is officially, a wrap

 

[the collector]

Real talk, when you have a season long narrative that Russ has to drag these guys to the playoffs and has to get triple doubles for wins it's hard for teammates to build confidence. Part of the PG and your best players job is building your teammates up. Russ had a All Time season but failed in that respect.

Capella maybe, the others though...based on what? Their numbers are the same from pre Harden.

quality of looks. They're all tops in the league in terms of wide open looks and that's a direct reflection of harden

 

[shotsrangout]

Did Nash make his teammates better?

He made the Knicks sign amare stoudemire to an egregious contract

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Thunders got destroyed..

 

[charlie parker]

You better than this. It's a long series G

Nah. Won't be none of that.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Russ still winning MVP fellas.

Mamba you really need to take off the cape you put on for Westbrook. No one is taking away from his greatness, but how can you support this stat padding nut.

Has as much to do with the system but he's no doubt the engine.

Westbrook with more fga than points, more turnovers than assists

You're calling him a stat padding nut. No credibility from you sir. Good day.

Do y'all want to look into "Brodie's" numbers against PLAYOFF teams....or nah

It was only a bad contract because of the injury, Amare was playing well before that.

The Stoudemire contract was bad but it's probably like the 9th worst thing the Knicks have done since 2000.

That was probably his best season for real.

You're stanning for Westbrook is clouding your judgment. Cant even have a regular debate. What credibility do I need LMAO this is a forum.

Also either Mamba is trolling or just doesn't know basketball.

The difference between Harden and Westbrook's offensive game is Harden can go forward, backward, side to side, jab step here, pump fake there, Euro step, mid range, long range, take it to the rack. Dude can cook Chinese, Italian, American, Mexican, and Japanese in one sitting.

All Westbrook can do is go forward and break your ankles with speed and will hit you with that occasional pull up mid range or pull up three. Dude's offensive repertoire is limited.

It's almost like the difference between Jordan and Drexler's skill set back in the day. Both were MVP candidates year after year, but one could do way more with the ball in his hands.

If there was ever a swiss army knife on offense, it's Harden.

If you reduce what's he's done this season to being a stat padding nut, there's no need to debate you. Your hate of the dude is documented, even down to the playoff bracket. Don't try and act like you're objective either.

He #TeamLakersTank all day. That should tell you all you need to know.

This is who Russ is, he reckless. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's a mess. He's a train with no breaks.
