I don't think Washington want the Bucks in the 1st round. Bulls/Cavs though 

 Hopefully the C's don't choke the 1 seed away. Dippers probably going to overtake the Jazz for HC. Poor Pacers. 

 

[hardens beard]

Seems like Atlanta is gonna give someone a first round bye with the way they're playing

Nobody wants to play Miami in the playoffs

Nobody wants to play Memphis in the playoffs.

Exactly. Stay away from these teams and you stay from the 5p.m. NBA TV tipoff.

 

[tribals]

Dude kept talking about how the Steph can't beat the Wizards lol.

Pretty sure Steph showed Wall what a real superstar is

I don't think they're going to make it man.
They can't beat anybody

Vincent and Erupt with the slick comments. Ice.

 

[MVP]

OKC-HOU should be LIT. A pissed off Russ or Beard from not getting the MVP. Hopefully they announce it before the series starts. 

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

They're gonna announce all the awards in June now and make a show of it. I liked the old way where a guy wins the MVP at home and then gets eliminated a few days later​

When have I ever said the Warriors can't beat the Wizards? Find the post and quote it.

So they announce them at that show too? Figured they'd announce before and present then.

Seems odd that Votes will need to be in by April something, and kept secret for 2 months.

GL with that

 

[a-friend]

So the Players start there own Award show and NBA follows up with their own? Sucker ****

This.

Hope the voting takes place earlier and they don't take into account the postseason.

how tho?

it took multiple miracles for cleveland to win last year...you know how many people legit have to die for the clippers to beat gsw? . all of them. 1st string, 2nd string, 3rd string, Kevon Looney.

 

[buc em]

I hope the Hawks completely drop out of the playoffs. They're not winning a game vs anybody at this point and nobody wants to see them play.

I also had absolutely no clue the Hornets are only a game behind the 8th seed. Everybody's just been talking about the Heat, Pacers and Bulls and the Hornets are right there with them

Two different seasons and rosters.  

Warriors deserve their respect, but again, they're not unbeatable.

I honestly don't think the Clippers will even make the second round this year but if they do and are matched up with the Warriors they're winning one game at the very most.
