2017 NBA Playoffs

I still can't believe this Harden/FT trash. I'm telling you I'd rather watch Cavs play GS than Hou... our blood will be boiling every 4th quarter questionable call. It'll be heart attack watch around here.

He literally gets every single call when he drives to the basket, I can't stand it.

I would like to see Russ be given 2-3 excellent three point shooters. He can't be relied on for that shot consistently.

I'm just glad Westbrook is gone. It's kinda like when Kobe would get knocked out...

I wish he would have a coach/management that would build a team around Westbrook where they could run the spread pick-and-roll. On this current squad, whenever Russ calls for a screen, defenders sag off their shooters to prevent a drive to the basket.

Westbrook needs one guy who can create offense when Russ is sitting and then two 39%+ three-point shooters. If he got that then I think OKC could be pretty formidable. I just don't know how it happens.

You mean like Kevin Love, JR Smith, and Korver?

We salute you, Mr. Griffin.

Thunder are going to go hard after Reddick and Korver this summer. My bet is the latter stays with the Cavs, not sure where the former goes. But yeah, these are exactly the type of players Russ needs around him, haha.

what do people think of Warriors Utah series. Can Jazz cause Golden State any problems?

Absolutely; all year I've wanted the Warriors to run into a healthy Jazz team in the playoffs. After the Spurs they present the most formidable challenge because the way they're built is basically tailor-made to handle a team like the Warriors.

Clippers will look back and regret keeping DeAndre. I get why they did it and its easily defensible. But their best course of action would have been to let him go, get a filler for a year (I was proposing McGee), and then make a real, legitimate run Durant at last summer.

They did make a run at him, and failed. They were going to unload JJ and pieces, and made a pitch of having the big 4. And he still said no.

Loved Chris Paul's response to that reporter. Stop asking stupid questions!

Jazz are a top3 defensive team with an above average offense. With Gobert inside, they can definitely commit more to challenging the three-point shots. I like that they aren't one-dimmensional offensively. They can score on isolation (Johnson, Hayward) as well as move the ball really well to get an open shot.

I think Jazz can realistically win 2 games. They match up really well on defense vs GS.

Hill/Curry
Hood/Klay
Hayward/Durant
Joe, Ingles, Favors/Draymond
Gobert/Zaza, McGee

Play tight on the perimeter and send them driving into Gobert should always be the plan.

Gobert is a bad PnR defender though, they will try to exploit it with McGee

Jazz can take one off of GS. They'll make those five games very tough, but much like Memphis two years ago, they simply don't have the scoring.

Wasn't a serious run. They didn't have the space. Literally entire rest of a team would have been league minimum guys, including their 5th starter.

 

[FritzLn]

jazz might steal one, wouldn't bet a single dollar on it, but in the 4 they lose, they'll be blown out

still better than watching the warriors film a highlight tape while the world laughs at the clippers
