I understand that are frustrated but Utah is a very good, deep team and they are peaking at the right time.Ok, I'm going to go puke. Losing to this average as team is embarrassing.
Yeah, but Brandon Bass!!!!Ok, I'm going to go puke. Losing to this average as team is embarrassing.
Great coach (207-39 career??) but by all accounts an even greater person. Get well soon, Coach Kerr.This thing with Kerr's health is such a drag. He's such a good guy and an excellent coach.
To the extent that worry about the Clips, I actually worry about them a bit more without Griffin than with. I think the Ws genuinely hate Griffin and his flopping and preening ways, which always gives them a little extra juice v. the Clips; and in hoops terms, Griffin forces the Clips to play a lot of two-big looks, which tend not to fly against the Ws. (For a 4, he's not horrific as a perimeter defender, but he's not Draymond or LeBron either).Jazz should put up a fight against the Warriors, the Clips would get swept so I'm hoping Utah wins this series.
* Kerr always seemed like a class act. Wishing him a painless return.Great coach (207-39 career??) but by all accounts an even greater person. Get well soon, Coach Kerr.
While conferring daily with Kerr, in a system 100% designed and conceived by Kerr.Luke Walton was 39-4 leading this team last season.
2014 sticks out in my mind; although I can barely recall specific moments, I remember very well being glued to the TV throughout that whole month of April (and a very strange conversation with an avid NBA fan who had somehow never heard of Zach Randolph in his entire life until those playoffs). Quickly checking Wikipedia, that was the year of Pierce's Game 7 block and the 8-seed Mavs almost knocking out San Antonio on their way to the title. 5/8 series went 7 games.As the kids say, I am not mad at your post.
Back on topic, I am trying to think of a playoffs first round that has been as entertaining as this year's set of series. This has to be one of the best in recent years given how competitive all the games have been.
Series may have been a bit different if Nurkic played. Portland is a completely different team with him.Was disappointed my nuggets didn't make the playoffs this year, but also relieved that they avoided playing GS. The nuggets probably match up better with GS than Portland does, but it still would have been a short series.
He moves like a 60 year-old. Doc is nuts.Paul Pierce belongs in a basketball morgue not the NBA playoffs. Doc, come on
