2018 NBA Playoffs

if the sixers go end up going to the finals, you can cross them off the list. Lebron was absolutely pissed at durant for going to the warriors, there is no way he joins a team that just beat the cavs to get to the finals

I like the thought but at this stage of his career LBJ will be moving for the instant chance to win, and Philly looks a great situation.

Man we sure New Orleans can't give golden state a fight?

Maybe if Curry was out. As Golden State lucky always has it, he's back next round.

 

[cavsfever]

i don't want Lebron to leave, I'll be pissed if he does...but if he does go I'd rather he goes to Philly. They could slam Golden State's title window shut forever and they would be an incredibly fun superteam to watch.

Is Curry still out in this scenario?

Maybe, especially if Curry is really out 3 more weeks and both series get done early.

Also...I'm souring on McCollum. He's the worst of the group of guys we've talked about trading for an seeing him get dominated in 3 straight like this....really feel like he wouldn't move the needle a whole lot.

I have firmly behind Kemba now. And they dont get Osman either.

They've both been great, but no, this is not true. Just as important, sure, I'd buy that. But AD is the linchpin on both ends for them.

Holiday's defense alone I think makes him the best player thus far in that series at this point. He's just been smothering good and completely kicking Lillard's ass, bad...

He's the one that's looked like the all-star player. Completely out playing Lillard.

Is Curry still out in this scenario?

Just a fight. Close games and maybe get a win or two. Holiday and Rondo are thoroughly out0laying Lillard and McCollum.

Eve with Curry I think New Orleans can give them a tussle.

No that doesnt mean I think they can win the series. Just make it competitive.

If LBJ chose to go to Philly they'd be the team to beat for years to come. He may decide to do like Durant; if you can't beat them join them. Other incentives for LBJ to join Philly - avoids the west AND stymies the Celtics and Kyries momentum.
That said, I hope he stays here win or lose this season. We can pay him well, promise to revamp roster again, maybe give part ownership of the team. idk.

Philly is closer to home too.

....

fine would you accept that in S34 its been discussed and completely dismissed as a possibility. would that make you feel better?

Rondo in the playoffs is reborn as an elite PG. Others get their easy points and hype in the regular season, but as soon as the serious stuff starts his worth comes out.

I agree if he did leave he would want to go where he could win instantly.. but I don’t see him going to a team that makes the finals.. just can’t see it.. especially if the Sixers beat us in the Conference finals to get there. No way then.. that’s exactly what KD did.. I think if the Sixers make it to the finals then they are instantly off his list and if the rockets beat the warriors to get to the finals they are too.. even if they somehow lose too lol which I can’t see any west team losing to an east team.. just trying to say he won’t join a team that just made it to the finals.

Portland is such a fraud team. I wonder how much longer Dame will try to stay true to the team when they keep getting blown out in the playoffs.

If Curry is back, I think NOP would be lucky to get 1. If Curry is out, I can see it getting to 6.

Doing this to McCollum and Lillard is one thing. But a machine like GS with KD? Etwaun Moore starts at SF for them. KD might put up 40 per game in that series sans Curry.


And speaking of Lillard.... where the fuck is this guy? Dude just out here chucking from 35 feet out. He's been so GD bad. Credit to the NOP defense, Gentry has drawn up a great scheme, but man, Dame, don't just bail them out.
