Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, Third Round (Conf. Finals)
Rockets scoring well in the first half.
Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, Third Round (Conf. Finals)
I didn't have a lot of interest in this playoffs to begin with, but now since we've won the lotto, I probably wont watch another second of it. Will be too busy staring at the draft order.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Not sure where you got that I'm projecting my money issues on them. They are the ones trying to get Klay to sign a discount deal. I think they Klay should call their bluff and make them pay him his market value.In2ition wrote:That's 3rd world team problems, not problems the champs care about.

Glad to see the Rockets get one. Warriors are just bored. This will probably wake them up.

As much of an insufferable Warriors fan as I am, I do agree with you. I think this is going to be a long series, and I don't think Houston is out of it yet at all. I would generally expect it to be 2-2 after the two-game stand in Golden State. And the playoffs needs more competitive series; we've had too many 4- and 5-gamers for my taste.Superbone wrote:Glad to see the Rockets get one. Warriors are just bored.

I don't think the Warriors are going to lose at home. I think it will be 3-1 after the home stand and then they'll either finish it in 5 in Houston or 6 in Oakland.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:As much of an insufferable Warriors fan as I am, I do agree with you.

See this is why I believe the l-tax actually produces the opposite of what it's intended. Ultra rich teams will never shy away from spending even if they are punished as repreater payer. The l-tax only scares 'regular' franchises like PHX or OKC.In2ition wrote:That's 3rd world team problems, not problems the champs care about.

Boston building a brick pyramid in the first half.

That’s very appropriate if they plan to bury the King.Hermen wrote:Boston building a brick pyramid in the first half.

Smart had two iso pull-up midrangers at the end of the half. He actually made them, but that's horrible offense.
Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, Third Round (Conf. Finals)
Cavs destroyed Boston. This one wasn't even a fun game to watch; it was over by midway through the 3rd quarter when Boston couldn't put a run together. But I'm glad Cleveland has made it a series. If Boston had gone up 3-0, the series would be effectively over.

If Curry continues to shoot this poorly GSW better watch out.
Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, Third Round (Conf. Finals)
It's hard to watch these final 4 teams in the playoffs and think we should take a C 1st overall.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Also, two of the more important players in these series are 5's (horford and Capela)
Do you not think a developed Ayton could play in this series? Bagley? JJJ? Bamba? Carter?
Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, Third Round (Conf. Finals)
I don't really get this argument. There are some 5's that have become outdated but I don't really see them in this draft.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:It's hard to watch these final 4 teams in the playoffs and think we should take a C 1st overall.

Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, Third Round (Conf. Finals)
Bamba/JJJ yes, because of their defensive abilities. I would question the rest in a series like this. The C's that are doing well can either play on the perimeter, pass, or defend at a high rate. Horford/Capela are super role players, we aren't drafting Ayton to be a role player, and Ayton plays bully ball on offense. Now he might very well be the guy who starts some trend back towards more C heavy basketball, but I doubt it. I also question Doncic in a game like this, he isnt gonna defend anyone. I'd rather move down, get value and pick Bamba.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

I'll always respect D'Antoni for what he did in Phoenix, but he's one stubborn SOB and I think it's his achilles heel.
