2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

NFL is literally killing its players playing the sport and trying to cover it up. I would say that's a major issue

 

[bballkid11]

Derozan > Dipo.

Close though.

Trump is the President. I don't really give a damn what some of the U.S. thinks, you know?

NBA can be more popular worldwide though.

agree on that popularity angle . Lot of popular ish is trash.

Raps have home court and don't really need DeMar and Kyle to play their best to win. I think we've seen the best ball Cleveland is capable of last series, sadly enough

The concussion tent is hilarious

Definitely dont disagree there. NFL for sure has a safety issue that they will never be able to solve, but so do tons of sports like boxing and the UFC.

I'm also not saying the NBA sucks. It is a fantastic product. I just hope they dont get caught up in their product now that they dont start making obvious improvements to make it even better.

Your better than this

Okc has 3
Houston has 2
Cavs have 2
Boston (injuries 3)
Spurs 2 current + hofers
Toronto has 2
New Orleans has 2
Minny has 2

Etc etc. That’s just off the top of my head.

what 3 players from OKC are making the all nba team this year?

please dont tell me you're counting melo who last made any all nba team in 2013

i stopped there cause it seems pointless to continue.. how about you name these people

 

[wavycrocket]

who said i forgot any of this?

you're talking about the warriors team that ONLY had the 3 all nba-ers and won 73 games

i think that was the last time the league had an opportunity to be what you described.. the last 2 seasons ive viewed as pointless

even without steph, they have had what 1 tough game in this playoffs so far? how many did they have last postseason?

Look man...idk what to tell you . It’s the nature of the game and has been that way in periods of time since forever.

Fo fo fo Sixers
72-10 Bulls
15-1 Lakers & 3peat Lakers
3 pear Bulls (2X)
Lakers & Celtics winning 8/10 championships in the 80s

Sometimes....greatness just comes at you in waves in basketball. If those teams of the past didn’t bother you with their dominance...this Warriors team shouldn’t either.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

NFL also full of clown *** racist owners with overseer mentality that don't give a damm about the players. They've showed their *** for too long and people are starting to turn away.

NBA is where it's at.

They made a rule where you have to stand for the anthem...

F the national anthem

I watch for the entertainment and sport.not for the owners and all that other ish

 

[addict4sneakers]

Derozan is better than Oladipo man. I wouldn’t say by a huge margin or anything but he’s better.

Derozan > Dipo.

Close though.

Numbers aren’t agreeing with you both regular season and playoffs.

Some “real people” died for that anthem playboy. people of all color

I need a black/gold DeRozan jersey.

I don't need an Oladipo jersey.

Klay Thompson or Draymond won’t make it this year....so what’s your point of listing 4 all nba’ers ? That’s why I listed melo’s washed *** with Russ & PG (Steven Adams is an all nba level talent/capela too). I’m just trying to explain to you that their is talent spread around the league. GSW just got the most right now.

 

[dacomeup]

Give me Dipo over Derozan without thinking twice. As long as this year's Dipo is here to stay.

you think he's alone?

Yup it's about the 7 game series. The best team is rarely beat in that format. Plus basketball is just not a sport with as many wild swings in variance like baseball.

I don't really care if the Warriors win every year (not written in stone btw, they've won 2 of 3 but people act like this is 6 in a row). I'm just here to appreciate beautiful basketball being played. And basketball is a beautiful sport.

obviously that's your prerogative, but i was in for the competition of the thing.. if i'm watching something for dominance, i stick to a couple of the olympic individual sports where it's 1 person changing history

Nah.

Just this season, maybe not. But what about longevity?

 

[Based Jesus]

Another thing that irks me is the ability refs have to unilaterally hand out technical fouls.
Like cmon, how can they not see that it's a bad idea? Some of these dudes be handing them out for light ****.

 

[bballkid11]

That is the question though. Is he??? We know what Derozan is

 

[DLF]

people get along better in the NFL thread.

I feel like the NBA is a hot takes league with fanboys of specific players. These fanboys then hype their player and literally HATE other players and thus people in the nba thread are pity and childish

 

[addict4sneakers]

I live my basketball life one year at a time.

 

[amitt5504]

Let me know when the NBA learns what a travel is lol

 

[bballkid11]

I can dig that lol. But Derozan has done this a couple years now.

Dipo...honestly 1.

Jimmy > Derozan
