2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

Hope cp3 is ok. I feel like choking harden is due a good game tho

Law of averages. He’s due to hit 10+ 3s Saturday.

the equivalent to saying because the eagles won the superbowl without carson wentz , they should get rid of him. makes little sense. just imagine how deep and good this team will be when those dudes come back.

What if wentz was hurt 3 of the last 4 postseasons?

You think Chinese folks just discovered basketball?

In terms of popularity of sports here in the USA, during the Jordan years, NBA was the #1 sport here in America. Now, NBA basketball is behind both nfl and college football.

I never meant in the US. I meant around the world. I live in Canada.

The landscape in China has obviously changed post Yao Ming/Kobe. NBA even plays games there now. Don't be ignorant.

On top of all that look at all the international players in the league now.

They play regular season games in Europe b. Not exhibition.

Can't tell me viewship isn't higher now especially with streaming online

This is only going to get worse moving forward. League won't ever make any changes to prevent injury frequency because it would effect their bottom line.

They rearranged the whole schedule trying to prevent injuries. It happens, nothing you can really do

They're toast. Hamstrings aren't anything to **** with. Harden is going to look even worse without CP3 there to bail him out.

No surprise that it's on the same leg of the injured ankle. The body was overcompensating.

 

[a-friend]

Felt like a gm 7 where both teams had

It really did man.
I expected Houston to be suspect closing, not GSW....but GSW bled, they're not a Machine.

Houston knows this and are going to SanFrancisco with the intention of ending Dubs season.
Dubs showed the FEAR.

Path for lebron's fourth ring.
Cavs win game 6 & 7
Harden, gordon, and capela goes off in game 6
Then Cp3 is done for the season
Cavs in 4

 

[QU!K]

Dude I don’t actually think the game are rigged

I do however think the refs change everything for certain players. Harden being #1 on that list

There was a lot of fantom fouls on KD and no calls on Curry

 

[Lovetohate3000]

was Hayward?
.

Would be dope.

Not really, they made improvements by shortening the pre season and spacing out the schedule more. Less 3 in 4s and back to backs

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

'Trade Kyrie'

I agree, hardens game however truly does revolve around fouls. His signature move is the arm wrap lay up lol

If that happens: I don't feel so good....

 

[T0INE]

Dubs are on the brink, but I wouldn't lower them in the grave just yet, especially with the uncertainty of CP3's injury.

One thing I do know is Harden better show the **** out in Game 6.

CP3 and Eric Gordon came through tonight, but Harden needs a MVP-esque performance in Oracle.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

"Best player in the league"

 

[nomnom]

I expect Game 6 to be almost identifical to the season opener game.

 

[elpablo21]

Dont blame Cook doe

 

[dman14]

Today's style is more grueling and taxing on the body. The pace of the game is so fast and guys are playing at such a high tempo with constant moving compared to a decade ago

 

[Lovetohate3000]

. Yeah but I was replying to the dude saying Kyrie and Hayward are both gone if they make the finals. Kyrie is injury prone but I think he'll be alright.

Don't not make a distinction on what you were specifically meaning then call me ignorant. Be respectful.

You didn't say worldwide or in the U.S. Had you done so, you would have had a valid point.

Due to technology, viewership and popularity is up on everything from what they were in the 90s...so to compare the two is out of context.

Bottom line is, per capita, here in the US, the NBA was just as popular then (during the Jordan years) as it is now. Or, at least on par. That's all I'm saying.

Rockets won in Oracle during the season opener with a hobbled Chris Paul scoring only 4 points....

And this means what exactly?

PS,

Gonna enjoy watching Bron's ***** *** get sent tomorrow night.

iirc the pace was the fastest in the 80s

I didn't say you were ignorant in regards to the US vs Worldwide distinction. Just the you think they just discovered basketball in China comment. NBA has made obvious strides in that country of a billion people. Factor in Yao Ming, Kobe, and internet, as well as current and former NBA Players having stints in the China leagues. China is a huge market.
