2016 NBA Playoff Thread

Ive never cried, cuz Im not a baby, but those do hurt. I'd imagine they hurt even worse when a guy the size of Mozgov does it.

It was more of a laugh cry, Klay whined about it and called it dirty in the post game, kind of weak.

These finals are more like the superbowl than the NBA finals. Can we please get a competitive 2nd half?

If GSW win the series, it's going to be really tough to award the Finals MVP. Curry playing poorly, Thomson meh, Green is just ok, Iguodala isn't making three after three.

Green has definitely been their MVP thus far.

Not surprised, GSW lost all game 3's in these playoffs so far. Next game is where it will be decided.

Cleveland's starting five outscored GS' by 48--that's the most any starting five has outscored the opposing starting five in NBA Finals history.

They also became the first team in Finals history to lose by 30 and then win by 30 in the following game.

Like I said after game 1, the narrative of a series can drastically change from night to night. And it could still change multiple times. I don't expect Klay and Steph to stay quiet for a whole series; they'll show up sooner than later. But I also expect Frye and Love to have big performances at some point.

Love aint a star tho. It seems like so long ago he averaged 26 ppg and went to the line like a mad man.

I have to wonder if he'd look more like his old self if he came off the bench. He'd have more opportunities to create for himself without having to worry about taking possessions away from Irving and LeBron. I'm not saying he would never see court time with those two (obviously he would), but it could help open things up for him. He could help negate the impact GS' bench has had in this series.

Maybe I'm totally off though and Love would choke with more responsibility to be a creator.

I think that Love is gone. Any team that ask him to play defense will get what the Cavs have gotten.

Doubtful. Game 3 will be close but could go either way. Game 4 is a blowout in GS's favor then they close it out in 5 @ home.

**** like this is why I don't usually make predictions...

The unpredictability from game to game is what makes it fun though. We wouldn't watch if we knew for sure what was going to happen.

I love Danny Green but to call him better defender than Iggy or Dray is a bit of a stretch I think...

It wasn't a stretch. It was downright wrong.

How has Lebron James' offense regressed this much? Dude can barely even finish this series, much less hit a jumper.

IMO, his wear and tear and size (weight specifically) have caught up to him. I think he'd be best served losing 8-12 pounds this off-season. He'd still be fit and strong as **** but would feel that much fresher and be that much more explosive. It helped Dwyane Wade a lot this season.
