Official 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Conference Finals: Warriors / Thunder | Cavs / Raptors

If Celtics and Philly end up with the top two picks in the lottery, Philly had a chance to draft Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram :x

All they had to do was trade Jahlil Okafor when Danny called at the trade deadline....

Sefolosha **** the celtics like he's the superstar.

Bradley is out and Olynyk is out. Yeah THIS team today doesn't look good

 

[bballkid11]

I can't help to think about my Pistons having a different seed. Smh. Could of made a little run.

They're roster isn't that good. I know Brad Stevens gets the most out of his guys but this current team reached their ceiling. Now it's up to Danny Ainge to use their draft picks wisely & sign some guys in FA.

Yall do realize the Celtics are overachieving right?

Being in the playoffs this soon wasn't part of the plan.

Im 100% sure they hired Brad as a straw man not knowing he would be this good of a coach.

I think Detroit/Miami would have been the best first round matchup

Seriously? Pistons have a chance to eliminate them.

Cleveland can't count on Love and Irving both scoring 30 points a night

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I don't care who it is, losing a starter during the playoffs is a big deal. Changes the way a team is used to playing, changes rotations, etc. Yeah, a team like GSW isn't going to be impacted that much because the are super deep and light years better than the Rockets anyway. But in a close match-up like Hawks v. Celtics, it matters. Don't give me this, "its just Avery Bradley, it shouldn't matter" BS.

What about game 1 before he got hurt? Or last playoffs?

Very True! But we will not hit all those 3's again either. So I see another close game. We just don't have the closers/player that will get clutch calls in the final 5 minutes of games.

I didn't realize so many people had faith in the Pistons. Well at least more than I thought people would have when it comes to knocking out the Cavs.

Kyle korker went 0-7 in game 1 tho

(And they still lost)

Bradley went down during the comeback and had 18 points before going down in the 4th. We ended up losing by 1 point.

We're not scared of that LeBron guy and fight for everything. Doesn't mean we will win but I like the matchup. I'd rather played them in the 2nd round.

 

[Bert.]

Thought Boston was gonna put up a fight every game and possibly win the series

 

[silverbackhoney]

Pistons need to go full throwback and just have Andre Bill Laimbeer the **** outta Bron a few times

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Oh

We're not scared of that LeBron gut and fight for everything. Doesn't mean we will win but I like the matchup. I'd rather played them in the 2nd round.

I feel you. I just wonder if some of the people I've seen that think the Pistons can win is because they actually think its a favorable matchup or they are just hoping for someone to knockout the Cavs more than anything else.

If someone ever says Boston is good, please ban them
