OFFICIAL 2015 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD (NBA FINALS SET; GSW V. CLE - (But we have a whole week before the

[captainsneakerhead23]

No one picked us outside of DC and we've gone up 2-0 on the road. Most impressive East team so far. Love how the Bulls and Cavs are letting us slide under the radar.

Clearly you aren't in the NT Playoff Bracket where the majority of us, outside of DC, picked the Wiz to the beat the Raps.

Have a seat fam.

A majority of people in their picked the raps

If you picked the wiz good sir me and you are in the minority, hec even wiz fans picked the raps in the Wizards thread

Maybe some people changed it afterwards but he majority of the picks I saw were the Wiz before the deadline.

Either way, I'm not surprised, this is what they should be doing to the Raps.

How do you feel about the Mavs now? Like you, I thought they at least had a shot to push that series to 6 but now it's a wrap.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

"running from the 4 spot" you can't make this tomfoolery up anymore.

Never let me down NT, NEVER

@Antidope what's the story on Parker? He playing tonight?

 

[ny mavurs]

Would you all consider Curry as a once in a generation type talent with the way he quickly shoots the ball?

I say yes

 

[victor page]

The Wizards have beat the Raptors ONCE in 2 years.

No majority ANYWHERE picked them to win the series.

I say yes

Considering he spent a summer rearranging his game, and he's a household name, absolutely.

Yes. His outside shooting ability is transcendent. Whether it will lead the Dubs to a title remains to be seen. But its absolutely fair to call him a generational shooter.

But only the Clippers are floppers though . . .

If I recall correctly, Harrison Barnes had a flop last night that was just as bad.

 

[hypebeast5]

Even ESPN had Raps as a 64% favorite, while rockets were a 54% favorite

I picked the mavs under the impression Parsons and Rondo would play the full series

Still shocked they fell so flat

[arstyle27]

An the Bucks and Celtics are good?

Bulls ran from that 4 spot. They wanted no parts of us in the first round.

We went for the 3rd spot lol. Toronto the ones that were happy in the fourth. You honestly think the Bulls won on purpose to avoid playing the Wizzies????

 

[CHAOSE57]

That phantom elbow :x

Barnes didn't flop he did get in the face. Dray did flop though

 

[bowb4me]

This.

And lets not act like even Wizards fans (including BowB4Me) haven't written them off as non-contenders at times this season. They've been pretty damn inconsistent. So, while they are looking better against a regressing Raptors team, how can anyone be sure it will be the same in the next round?

Your right, I did. When you lose by 20 to Sac then 30 to GS I had to keep it 100 and say they looked like garbage. I didn't expect them to go up 2-0 on the road. Win the series though yes.

Barnes' was worse 

Fines need to be big on things like this, hockey gives penalties for embellishing, basketball needs to come up with penalties outside of fines. Or make the fines BIG

 

[jumpman ii]

Barnes 1 didn't look like a flop. Caught the Elbow

@ Jumpman II - you honestly believe Barnes really got hit on this play?

And then there's was Bogut repeatedly holding Pelican defenders so they couldn't rotate on D . . .

tHey showed the replay like five times on TNT. There was zero contact.

 

[everysingletime]

Ugh, I hate floppers. Biggest pet peeve in all of basketball.

At least let there be contact before you hit the ground, for god's sake

 

[sea manup]

 @ Jumpman II - you honestly believe Barnes really got hit on this play?

if you look closely at this gif its clear someone shot him, you can even see the sniper loading the gun and pulling the trigger 

not a flop 

 

[bhzmafia14]

Yea both of those were flops. The Barnes one was closer than Green, but still no contact.
