NBA Round Two discussion thread

Good looks but an unkind rim early. Law of averages says they have to start falling at some stage.
 
Serious lack off effort by GSW, haven't seen that by this team all season. Curry looks hungover.
 
Rinse and repeat of Grizz v Thunder last postseason (Round 1), Grizz blown out in Game 1 - win Game 2 - win Game 3 - lose Game 4 ?

Dont really see how you think the Warriors and thunder are the same. The grizz matchup so well with the Warriors. GS's lack of production from their bigs will be their down fall

and the grizz have so much more experience as a unit and simply as basketball players and they've been through the tough times as a team. The Warriors have not. I'll be pretty surprised if the Warriors win either game in Memphis.

How do you figure they matchup well ? This is the worst matchup for the Grizz, they are exploiting it right now because of unforced Dubs' errors.
 
Agree with the recently edited 2nd part of your post though, minus the Dubs not being able to win in Memphis.

Are you serious? The Grizzlies whole game plan is to control tempo and make the Warriors uncomfortable so they can't get into their rhythm. The Warriors are trying to succeed by doing what the Mavericks did. Except the Mavs actually had a big that could play. The Warriors bigs suck ass. The grizz are methodical and calculated and are so much more talented as a unit.

The warriors need to have more production from their bigs or this series is over.
 
The Grizzlies problems the past three seasons is they could not for the life of them hold leads. That is no longer the case. Remember the days when you could live bet against them when they were up 17 because you knew they'd go into an offensive funk? Those days are gone
 
And there were actually a lot people who thought Kerr should win coach of the year. He really doesn't do very much when it comes to X's and O's. Great development guy and motivator maybe. But he's not experienced enough for in game play calls
 
Your disdain for the Dubs coming through loud and clear.

Road team 1-6 SU under McCutchen so far these playoffs.

Lee just saved the Grizzlies, if anything the 4th quarter helps the Dubs for Game 4. Will be interesting to see the refs for that game.

Its not my disdain of the Warriors. It's teams like the Warriors. I admire old school teams that play inside out. Curry is the best shooter in the game. Maybe in history. I totally get that. But this is not the best TEAM. Sorry.
 
And those ref ats mean nothing to me. The refs have not given the Grizzlies much help at all. So many hard no calls in the 2h. Particularly one that was on Allen and one on Randolph both which should have been an and one. And now the refs are calling everything on Memphis trying to keep this game close late.
 
Another lucky 'bank-shot', that's 3 straight in the final minutes of the past 3 games.
 
And another unforced turnover by the Dubs. Team is their own worst enemy past 2 games.
 
Dude if you think the refs are not helping the Warriors you and I are watching different games. That should have been and and one. That's at least 4 this half.
 
The refs are helping keep this game close and the Warriors can't do anything because they are being forced off the 3 point line. The grizz are the better team hands down
 
would have been nice if klay or steph would have taken that meaningless three to cover the 2h

Every lower seed leading in conference semis for first time since the NBA Playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984.
 
Speaking of officiating,
Any way NBA brass does not let Bron lose a Sunday ABC Playoff Gm to tie the series?

I would think w/ the way things are going, they would try everything in their power to aviod a Memphis vs Washington / Atlanta Finals. They are gonna need superstar in the finals for ratings.
 
If Chicago makes it past Cleveland, they should be able to get to the NBA Finals as well, so there will be more than enough star players there...
 
I don't know about you guys but I'm loving this year's playoffs. Apparently ratings are down but the contrasts in Matchups are fascinating in basically every series. That is what makes the games exciting.

I'll be on Chicago and clippers today and the lebron points prop over when I see it.

absolutely pathetic how bad houston is... goes to show you how incredibly shitty the mavs interior defense was...


howard is a cancer and an absolute bum...



Saturday... LOVE Pierce & Gortat's props... The Truth loves extra rest and he will light it up... and Gortat plays so much better at home and im expecting plenty of rebounds early with the odd start time...

Have you been watching this series???
He is the only one for the ROX who has played consistently showed up for this series -( not talking about his career)

To blame this series and how they are playing on Howard is lazy and asinine... Go back to last game and see what he did in the first half of the game when they were in it.. and then go watch the 3rd qtr and see how many times the rox offense gets him the ball.... its a 6 point game in the 3rd qtr and Mchale subs for him and guess what.. it become a 20+ point game......
instead of just blaming Howard and quoting Barkley( or whoever quoted him, maybe not you - but calling him a cancer) watch the games as he has been the only consistent player for the ROX in the playoffs...

oh btw - While Barkley was a great player-- what exactly has he won?? Did his teams do anything?? He was surrounded by better players and still didnt win !!
 
Delavedova, Shumpert, Smith, Jones and LeBron... LeBron plays Center against Noah and Mirotic?!

like it for the cavs.. speed athleticism, noah can't move that well, mirotic cant cover lebron --- Thibs- your move...
 
Mozgov, Thompson and LeBron line up, brought back Gibson instead of Mirotic in a heartbeat.
 
Bulls still remember the feeling of a ball actually in a basket? It feels like Bulls haven't scored the last 20 hours...
 
Did Tibs really put in Snell instead of Dunleavy to improve the offense? :)
LOL!
And the funniest thing, it's the right move. What's wrong with Dunleavy? He can't hit an ocean...
