NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

The Thriller said:
The Clippers have the talent to beat the jazz. Whether they put it together or not is their problem.

The Mavericks don’t have the talent to beat the Jazz. Regardless of chemistry, they just don’t have the talent to beat us. which is why id rather play the Mavs, they’re the lesser threat.

That is my take.

Agreed. If we get the Clips I think our odds of advancing are about 30%. If we get the Mavs, I will be disappointed if we don't advance. If we do get the Clips, the Suns got the better draw by finishing 2nd.

Many of their guys scare me. They’ve got Batum who adds even more length to their lineup.

They’ve got Beverley, Jackson, and Rondo they can throw at Conley and Mitchell.

Other than the Nets (whose talent makes them a matchup nightmare for everyone), I don’t see a team we match up worse against.

I don’t think many of you are taking the Clippers as seriously as you should. The Clippers don’t have to outshoot us. They can lock us down, turn us over, and generate plenty of points in transition after squeezing the life out of our short guards and unathletic bogie. The Clippers are a huge threat. The Mavericks aren’t. We can probably even beat them without Conley honestly.

Good news is that though I agree that the clippers can guard us well, we can also guard them well.
I think we beat the clippers.

However I'm a fan of high scoring games and I think the Mavs are the worse team so of course I prefer the Mavs.

Not scared of the clippers though.

In fact, if we are healthy I feel confident that the jazz make the finals.

I think if we get the mavs then our chances of advancing are like 80%. If we get the clippers then our chances are like 70%.

The jazz are the best team in the NBA and the best home team in the NBA and have homecourt advantage and the #1 seed. That didn't happen by accident. The jazz are really really ****ing good.

The jazz have more all stars than both of those teams, a better coach, and more award winning players as well. Deeper, better chemistry, better net ranking, better margin of victory. Basically better everything.

So why is the series tied 3-3 if the Mavs have no chance of beating us but the Clippers do. They seem to be pretty even if you ask me. Just for the record I believe both teams can beat the Jazz. As well as the Jazz have played they are beatable. I wouldn't argue against that the Jazz are more likely to beat the Mavs than the Clips but the margin is not that wide. Now if the Jazz shoot the lights out then I think neither team can beat the Jazz.

Why do the Jazz have such a hard time with certain (bad) teams and an easy time with certain (good) teams?

I’ve been pretty clear here, I believe the Clippers are far more talented and pose a much greater threat to us than Dallas. You can agree to disagree. But my argument has been pretty clear and I don’t see much use in continuing to argue the same thing over and over.

Honestly I’m shocked that anyone is arguing against this point. I thought all of us wanted to face the Mavs rather than the Clippers. ‍shows what I know I guess… which obviously isn’t much. Lol

Harden out with hamstring injury. That certainly shakes things up.

Bucks should beat the Nets in 6 games or less if Harden is out a few games.

Right now the bucks aren't playing hard enough to win. They can't match the nets pure talent level, but if they work hard they can still win. But they have to play better than they are tonight. Giannis has like 23 and they are still in the 3rd quarter but he has been really quiet about it. He needs to make some noise and impose his will if they are going to have a chance.
 
Claxton looks like he has drawn-on stick-figure legs.
 
If we face Brooklyn in the finals and lose, the nba should help us create a super team like Brooklyn has. Give us DLil, Booker, and Joker and then we might be able to compete with the Nets.

And they had LaMarcus earlier this year. He had to retire due to his heart. Just ridiculous what assclowns like Durant have done to the league.
