I'm hoping the Nuggets or Bucks win the whole thing, two non-super teams with a bonafide superstar on each team who doesn't bitch and moan.

Philly won't go far without Embiid, and I don't really like Kyona or Snowflake KD.

I still think whoever comes out of the East wins the title.

Why are people saying whoever comes out of the east. If Nets are healthy, they are winning it all

Lol nets aren’t making it past the Bucks. A hobbled Celtics teams was easily scoring 100 on them.

Giannis, Middleton and Holiday are going to feast.

Watch and see. Just don't say later they are too good

Tbh Zizi, I think that if the game goes 7, The Buck might actually win it.

The Nets need to close it out in 6, and I hope they don't.

As for Philly, I hope they find a way to survive long enough for Embiid to come back. I can't stand that insufferable little turd Trae Young. I'd also like to see an exciting and competitive series in the Eastern Conference Finals - Philly vs Bucks/Nets is far more compelling than The Hawks vs either of those two teams (series will be over in 5 in that case).

With regards to the West, I think it's going to be Denver vs Utah, and it will go 6 or 7.

I wonder if Lebron still believes he's the GOAT after his humiliation in game 5 and subsequent elimination in the 1st round. Definitely top 5, maybe even top 3 all time, but I've never seen a GOAT quit or give up before, and that's what he did (and not for the first time in his career).

I think the Bucks need to shoot like crazy to stand a chance. Giannis still hasn't figured out how to translate his game from a faster paced more open RS to a more closed down and slowed down post season half court setup. They are obviously a talented team beyond Giannis and he will still make himself useful, but this is not the same team you see in the RS because of that. Which is why the rest need to be elite shooters for 4 games for them to stand a chance. Otherwise the Nets have too much firepower

Trae Young is annoying I agree. But Philly has a good defensive backcourt. I think they got this if Embiid plays even only 2 games.

On the west, clippers keep coming back it's quite annoying. Kawhi has been the difference in their wins, and now I think they got this in game 7. Real shame, would have been great to see teams like Dallas, Utah, Phoenix, Denver compete for the finals

Durant is a genius

 

[zizinho]

8 point game at half time, Clippers shooting 63%, 58% for 3. Dallas 56% and 26% for 3. Without Doncic being almost perfect, this would have been a blowout by now. These bums need to step up and start hitting open shots, and play some defense.

Playoff P

 

[zizinho]

This is over, Doncic gassed and no one else stepping up. Meanwhile guys like Morris, kennard hitting open shots. Dallas gonna need to rebuild around Doncic, current supporting cast not good enough

Mavs building the wall to Mexico with all these bricks

Reggie Jackson 2 3s, Morris one, that's all of their points in the last like 6 minutes. Dallas failed to take advantage.

Dallas bench 6 points on 11 shots all game, terrible. Clippers bench 27 points

Also fuck these refs

Durant too good

Rick Carlisle and Donnie Jr should be fired. Carlisle gets a free pass from everyone in dallas for the 2010-2011 championship. Overall during his time there he’s failed to advance out of the first round 11/13 years. That’s just piss poor. Also, he gets a say in squad construction so he’s also partly to blame alongside Donnie for the shit cast around dirk in his later years and Luka now.

 

[ALC]

I don’t think it’s Carlisle’s fault, it’s Cuban’s fault for signing Porzingis to a max, if he was halfway decent, the Mavs would’ve won.

Rooting for Donovan Mitchell, he's cooking the Clips right now!

He's got love for Juventus as well

Durant

 

[Osman]

Durant performance immediately goes to top 5 of all time playoff performances. He refused to lose, played all 48 minutes, played great defence, scored at will despite being doubled, read defense so well. Finished night with insane 81% true shooting. First ever Playoff performance with 45/15/10.


49 points
17 rebounds
10 assists
3 steals
2 blocks

16/23 shooting
4/9 from 3
13/16 FT



Kyrie out, and the decaying corpse of Harden trotted out on the court for show, who could barely move or do anything, so it was Basically Jeff Green and Durant vs Bucks. Thankfully Giannis had a stinker (no more will it be called hack a shaq, but hack Giannis, cant score a freethrow for dear life).
