Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[P C H]

Word? What makes you say that?

The Clippers dominate Utah. They've won 19 of their last 21 contest and took 3 of 4 from them this season. The only game Utah won this year against the Clippers they had to shoot an insane percentage from 3.

The games the Clippers beat Utah weren't close either. Utah can't score against the Clippers.

Things could change and the playoffs are a different animal, but based on the way the Clippers are playing right now and really the way they've flat out dominated Utah suggest that the Clippers will for sure win the series, in either 5 or 6 IMO.

Vonleh!!!!!! With the game winner

Like I said, Houston is done trying for tonight

There's too much time left for there not to be an ejection or two

 

[Quincy McCall]

Rockets getting drugged

The Clipper fan in me is always assuming that some sort of epic collapse or injury is going to happen to us.

But the basketball fan in me says the Clippers should handle Utah. I just don't see it. You lose 19 of 21, 3 of 4 this year, but somehow you're going to take 4 out of 7 without homecourt?

I mean it could happen after all it is the clippers, but smart money would be on the clippers here.

Healthy Blippers (oxymoron I know) is #2 team in the West...........?

LAC should most definitely be favored to win against Utah. If they do it in 4 or 5 games I'll be super impressed 

SLC probably been counting down the days for another playoff appearance. Can't wait to see how loud they get

Only thing that's got me on whether it's 5 or 6. Utah's homecourt is legit in the reg season, can already imagine how it's going to be come playoff time.

Ideally, I hope we take the first two at home and split games 3 and 4.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Utah really hasn't been healthy against lac this year. Might not be as easy as it seems

 

[tyevvyotcu]

Bad comparison

yep
drake was taking shots at hov at first for no reason

I feel like Shoe is setting himself up for the summer jam screen again.

It is what it is lol it's happened before.

But i'm not even guaranteeing the Clippers are going to beat the Jazz.

All i'm saying is, is that if I told you team x, who had beaten team y 19 out of their last 21 contest, including 3 of 4 this season, you would pick team x to beat team y in a playoff series, would you not?

How can you summer jam someone for making a logical pick before the series begins lol

 

[P C H]

Goddamnit golden state

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'd pick team x over the clippers any day

I remember this type of bravado and logic before that Houston series too. I don't think the Clippers are a ovewhelming matchup for the Jazz (when healthy) at all. I think the series goes 6 minimum. The specter of Blake disappearing and DJ having to be in the game in the 4th quarter being a liability is still looming very large.

Put the bread on the Jazz then.

$150.

Right and what happened with houston?

They got up 3-1 and it took literally a catastrophic collapse for me to be wrong. That could happen again, but if im picking who's going to win the series, i'm picking based on how they've looked against each other in the regular season(s) and see what happens.

I mean it's black and white in that the Clips and I lost on that houston bet, but it's not like me, and everyone else in that thread wasn't crowning the clips going into game 6 either. It was a sound pick that literally was a quarter away from coming into fruition. But suh it go with sports when you pick

you're either the pigeon or the statue.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

crazy because they would use Shoe's exact logic as to why LAC has no chance vs GSW lol

 

[a-friend]

I will take Utah for $150.

Let's get it.  (if LAC doesn't close in 5 but win the series you lose half, if they don't close in 6 but win you lose all)
