Playoffs 2018 Thread

A valiant effort by Houston. Taking the Warriors to 7 games is quite a feat. Depending on what happens with Capella and Ariza, Houston might come back a little weaker next year.
 
Wes doing his patented “call the winner of the game early on and then be totally wrong in the end”
Well done Wes

Is this really what the nba wanted?

Seems to me like this finals matchup has played out.

For those who think the nba is rigged, I’d think the teams that lost would’ve made for a more compelling finals.

Everyone knows how this is gonna play out.

Warriors in 4 or 5 (if Lebron goes nuclear for one game) and the warriors get bored.

Boring matchup

For me its not necessarily that its the same teams. And it really isnt the same teams. I am disappointed because Lebron doesnt have enough help to make it fun. I wouldn't mind watching it again if Kyrie was still there and they added another piece to counter the Durant move.

But Houston got beat by a jump shooting team

Are you disagreeing this was widely accepted?

I said "before GS". They are unique no doubt but have also had a tonne of luck in their runs and some very special circumstances to make it possible.

Point is shooters get cold. Imo you still need someone who can get you points in the post.

I know you said before GS. I just think that you cant cant omit that part of it. Its sort of a contradicting point. You cant point out that a jump shooting has problems, and here is an example, while in that same example there is proof that a jump shooting team does work.
 
Point is.. only one of those jump shootings teams is going to win. They cant both win. So of course you can point out a jump shooting as a loser

Im talking pre GS era, whats happened since is irrelevant to the point I was making. The league has just followed the GS model now but Ive always thought the way to beat them was 2 dominant bigs and thats why Ive been high on the Rudy/Favs combo.

But then they got Durant so **** knows...
Maybe theyve just broken the mold now.

This isnt my opinion. Pre GS the consensus was jump shooting teams dont win championships.

Watching Houston tonight was why that train of thought existed.

If you disagree name 1 jump shooting team to win a chip prior to GS...

I feel like Boston was a jump shooting team with Ray Allen pierce and kg. They won a chip pre GS.
 
Rockets did manage to get something out of this game. New playoff record, 27 straight missed threes. 7-44. Wow! I’m pretty impressed that as terrible as they shot that this wasn’t a bigger blowout.

So sick of Cavs Warriors finals. Lebron needs to go to a different team just to mix up the teams next year.

I was hoping for a Stevens/Boston v GS Final.

Feels like Boston has had the best record of anyone against GS in the past 3-4yrs.
 
Kinda ironic to see Harden get hosed by the refs. They were atrocious at some point.
