Playoffs 2018 Thread

rockets played solid as well, but they just couldn't keep up with the warriors. Expecting the series to still remain competitive though, I wouldn't get the brooms out just yet.
 
KD, Klay and Step combined for 83 points on 50% shooting and 39% from 3pt. It's just too much fire power. For the Rockets to win, this Hamptons Five is going to have to have a pretty bad shooting night.
 
Watching that game is a humbling reminder we still have a lot of work to do. That's basketball played at about the highest level it can be played.
 
At least GSW-Celtics finals will be something different to watch than last 3 years.

I think Cavs are still likely to get through. I don't think either team getting swept by the Warriors is all that exciting.

What reasons to believe Cavs would go through did you see in the first game? Boston looks like nightmare matchup for Cavs - long, athletic, well coached, can switch 1-5 and does not allow mismatches which Lue exploited so well against that idiot Casey. Cavs somehow squeezed by Indiana because Indiana choked the lead away in couple games, I just do not see it happening vs well coached team like Celtics. I think Celtics win tonight in closer game than game one but still in 8-10 pts not leaving any chances for LeBron heroics at the end. At the end of the days this is the worst Cavs team Lebron ever had, maybe just rivaling the one which got swept by Spurs.

Can they beat Lebron in a close game though? This is why teams without superstars fail in the playoffs.

You're drawing too many conclusions from one game. Let's wait until a few games have been played before we count the best player in the NBA out.

I look at Indiana series as well. Recipe how to beat them was there as well, they just choked in couple close games.
 
Cavs certainly look much better. I do not like how Boston started, seemed very little energy and hustle compared to game one. They better wake up before its too late
 
it's staggering how good LeBron is and how bad the rest of his team are

and Jaylen Brown > Hayward if not now next season
