First Round NBA Playoffs Discussion!

Lakers lead 2 - 0... Smart and Kennard shot more or same as KD... KD shot one basket in the whole second half (and was the same in regular season against the Lakers)...
Houston so bad on offense. Giving the ball to Durant way out top where he can be easily doubled is so stupid. But you're right Houston is worst team in West. I will say Ayton is fucking horrible. He will cost Lakers vs anyone good.

Ayton comes and goes. I seen games where he is everything I hoped for when Lakers signed him and more and some games you understand why Suns and Portland did everything they could to get rid of him...
He doesn't want to be type casted as Capella, but Capella is one of my favourite players and he can wish to have career like Capella...
If Ayton becomes more humble, he can have a helluva career. If he persist on acting like a superstar with nothing to back it up, he will find himself in Eurolegue before the decade is over (though I like European basketball as much as NBA if not more tbh)...
 
Interesting to see Houston imploding like this.

Seem to have the coaching advantage but the team isn’t clicking ..

They were another team who never really turned it on during reg season..

A preseason with a lot of hype .. Thompson was suppose to take the jump and hasn’t..

With all that said, LA only -135 for series

Interesting series price for sure.

Luka not coming back now, though.
 
I have to look up what's even happening

This is the most pathetic month of sports in general that I can remember

At least the soccer is a little interesting

Good grief...

Final Four
The Masters
NBA playoffs
NHL playoffs
UFC
First full month of MLB.

This month is fantastic.

Agree except on coaching. I agree with espn talking heads for once that JJ us coaching circles around Ime so far. Lakers -135 will be a bet i think.

I don't even remember who won the Final Four. Masters was about as boring as it could be.

Wade Garrett would blame it on my high knees
 
Castle, Harper and Wemby... What an amazing trio that haven't even started to evolve and only begin their way in the league...
Add Vassel and Johnson and Spurs are just scary...
Castle carried Spurs the first half and Harper exploded in the 2nd half.
Blazers couldn't find a path to break Spurs defensive scheme and only amazing game by Jrue and Williams kept them ahead...
Avdija had bad game, but I love the way he kept attacking the rim and getting to the line - that shows his growth, although painful growth tonight...

Helluva young team!

The fact I have this team at 25/30-1 is something I'll be begging for the next decade as they'll be single digit on the futures market more times than not!
 
Btw, I wonder what would have been the odds that the first (and so far the only - Thunder can do it tonight) team that will go 3 - 0 in this season postseason will be the Lakers playing without Doncic and Reeves? I think it speaks more to the fact how Rockets are bad, but you can't ignore the amazing job that Bron, Smart, Kennard and Hayes are doing!

Hachimura is someone I been watching closely far too much. He was with Avdija and Wizards games were broadcoasted here every time and in the Lakers obviously I watch closely and this postseason, it's the first time I seen Rui pass the ball and/or playing on defense... He did very nice job defense wise in Game 2 and was huge surprise for me.

As for Rockets, first one to blame has to be a GM. I seen at least 8-10 games of the Rockets this season and each time, both US broadcasting crew and Israeli asked the same question - how on earth, losing your starting PG before the season started, didn't result in signing a PG all season long?! I think they wouldn't have lost at least Game 3 if there was another PG on their roster...
Here is one example - Cameron Payne - came back from Euroleague to Sixers in February. Rockets couldn't have used his services?!
