2018 NBA Playoffs

Durant and Steph will murder you by shooting you in the head... Klay Thompson will murder you by 1000 papercuts and you don’t realize it’s happening....

I almost shed a tear reading that because it’s 100% accurate. If klay scores 30-40 game 7 no matter what Durant or curry does gs is winning that.

Some ppl need to recognize the white flag when they see it man


Arguing about basketball ain’t the end all be all no matter whose actually right or wrong

 

[bobdole]

What i will say is the level of physical play I’m seeing allowed both ways in absolutely NOT being allowed both ways in our series



Love specifically was being officiated like he was a worthless pile of shit


Any contact he got was a foul

I don’t even get your supposed to attempt to play D with how the Celtics refs officiate him

Love currently is a worthless pile of shit...sooo

Ed Malloy’s Warrior bias is unbearable. They are now 14-0 in playoff games officiated by Ed Malloy over the last four seasons. Fucking Houston can’t even touch the Warriors but Draymond is allowed to tackle people.

Because they look the same age and same height.

And their vaginas are very similar

The Rockets actually have a super shallow team for a squad that built themselves to beat Golden State. I get you can't have a two-headed monster like CP3/Harden + Anderson's shitty contract and have a stacked bench too, but here's the playable guys they have versus Golden State:

Harden, CP3 (hurt), Capela, Ariza, Tucker, Green, Gordon

Rest of their team:
- Mbah a Moute: not unplayable, but he can't score a lick
- Anderson: trash and overpaid
- Nene: too old and slow
- Joe John$on: washed bum
- Aaron Jackson: trash
- Tarik Black: comparable to Perkins

One injury to a rotation guy and they were screwed. Unfortunately for them it happened to their second best player.

Game ended in the 2nd that was 2002 Kong’s Lakers stuff

Outscored 93-47 over the last 3. That was Cavs-Celtics-2017-esque.

His shoulder injury is being completely glossed over by everyone outside of Houston, and it's a massive loss. He was never going to be a 30-35 minute a night guy in this series, but he easily could have given you 15. That shoulder injury ruined any chance of that.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Bruh that Klay Thompson postgame interview was cringeworthy. When has his back ever been against the wall?

When he pissed all over Coward’s Thunder, in 2016.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I’ll tell you fellas (and ladies) WHAT: if James Harden is the MVP, then I’m Ron Jeremy. Just call me the friggin’ Hedgehog.

 

[Cavsbro]

Some of y'all must be closet warriors fans

Well M'Bah a Moute isn't supposed to be unplayable, in theory. He certainly was brought in with the idea he could play against them.

I kinda think D'Antoni should have given Nene a look or two here and there.

But there's only so much you can do. And there probably isn't any team that could withstand a major injury and beat them, so you kinda need luck in that area.

That said, I expect CP3 to play in game 7. It'll be one of those really questionable things that he probably shouldn't do, but he'll do.
