NBA Playoffs Game Thread

Brooklyn has tied the series with Atlanta 2-2.

 

[ElUno20]

The really sad part of this dull series is the nets were in both games 1 and 2, they just played so lifeless they couldn't pull it out

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Man, this Blazers team is gonna get swept it looks like and Aldridge seems as good as gone. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Its amazing that Wes Matthews meant so much to Portland this season. I think this series would go seven were he still playing.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Meanwhile Udrih is daring the Blazers to come back with his shot selection. The problem is that the Blazers are taking terrible shots too.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Holy fuck Damian

 

[Nick Kaufman]

What do people think of CJ McCollum? I think he might become a nice two guard.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I love Damian Lillard. He is a boss.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What do people think of CJ McCollum? I think he might become a nice two guard.

McCollum = nice
 
Lillard = Motherfucking Boss

 

[Cellar-Door]

McCollum = nice
 
Lillard = Motherfucking Boss

You don't get to be called a Boss if you're one of the single worst defensive players in the league and put in basically no effort on that end.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Rick Carlise, stopping the Rockets from running their drawn up out of bounds plays post-timeout with the hack a shaq.

 

[mandro ramtinez]

Harden's three with about two minutes left should be used as the picture in the dictionary entry for cold-blooded.

Pop going 10 deep including Baynes is insane. No reason to be playing 5 subs together at the same time. 

 

[bball831]

Baynes is a bum. 

 

[Blacken]

Baynes is a bum.

He's bench crap, but as bench crap goes he usually makes good decisions. Bad series for him.

 

[bball831]

I wonder if Pop will play Mills and Parker together and bench Green. 

 

[bball831]

Fun with numbers:  CP3 +16, Kawhi -18

 

[bball831]

Have yourself a game Blake. 

 

[Blacken]

I am 110% in the tank for the Spurs and even I'm like "uhhhhhh."

I wonder if Pop will play Mills and Parker together and bench Green.

I don't think Mills and Parker can slow Paul down. I think they need Green out there to help Kawhi.

 

[Blacken]

THIS GAME

 

[bball831]

Pop hurting his team with hack a Jordan.  Don't like it.  He's begging to foul out his own guys.

 

[ElUno20]

Dear god, pop. Great job. You win.

 

[Blacken]

He doesn't care about fouling Aron Baynes out. He's got bodies he can use for this all day.

GREEN, DAMN.

 

[Blacken]

Dear god, pop. Great job. You win.

It was a great job, because now Austin Rivers is in the game.

I'm honestly just sort of awed by the brass involved in this.

 

[ElUno20]

Clipps havent scored a field goal in 6 minutes

 

[bball831]

That strip looked clean for Kawhi.  Refs have been shaky tonight on both sides.

 

[bball831]

Ginobili is a turnover machine.  It's unreal how careless he is with the ball.  Everything is high risk plays. 

 

[bball831]

Kawhi has been horrendous offensively tonight -- lot of aimless drives and picking up his dribble too early.  Spurs should be destroying this Clippers 2nd unit. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Its the annual Glen Davis Playoff Explosion (tm).   With him and Reddick on the floor, they will heretofore be known Shrek and Honky

 

[ElUno20]

I dont care how but the hack a shaq has to be taken out the game or at the least cut to commercials. That shit nearly put me to sleep

 

[Blacken]

You're right, DeAndre Jordan should not be playing meaningful basketball.

Make your shots.

 

[bball831]

Baynes fouls out.  Doc should decline. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

In Pop's world Aaron Baynes is measured by fouls above replacement player.   
 
Meanwhile, CP3 grinds Green's ankles to a fine dust...

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Holy shit that motion offense...

 

[bball831]

I hope Tim Duncan never retires. 

 

[bball831]

0-6 for Blake in the 4th. 

 

[bball831]

F- effort from the refs tonight.  F-. 
 
That ref needs to be relieved of his duties.  What a joke. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Spurs are fucking assassins.

 

[bball831]

The Spurs. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Jamal Crawford is so, so overrated.

 

[soxhop411]

F- effort from the refs tonight.  F-. 
 
That ref needs to be relieved of his duties.  What a joke. 

 

[Blacken]

Wait that graphic cannot be right. Clips are ONE FOR THIRTEEN from deep?

 

[bball831]

Can't we just do a round robin tournament with the Warriors, Spurs and Clippers for the rest of the playoffs?  Just send everyone else home. 

 

[Blacken]

Diaw is ridiculous. This game is ridiculous. Everything is ridiculous.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Can't we just do a round robin tournament with the Warriors, Spurs and Clippers for the rest of the playoffs?  Just send everyone else home. 

 
I will take another round robin in the East with the Cavs, Bulls and the King In The North's squad.

 

[bball831]

Blake is going to get evicerated for his 4th quarter performance.  Holy crap.  What a shift from the first 3 quarters. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Blake Griffin just got owned by a guy who is six decades his senior.

 

[bball831]

Was Doc this whiny in Boston and I just blocked it out?
