2013 Playoffs Discussion Thread

Great game, I'm glad I stayed up to watch!

Clips go small and space the floor, cp has more room to operate. Bucket. Memphis needs to go offense for defense now

This game is crazy.

About time grizz goes small. An what ya know. Bucket

Ermahgerd pond extent didn't congratulate Gasol! He's a selfish player!

Damn you Chris Paul and all your greatness!:(

Awww come on!

Wow CP3

Wow. Amazing !

Haha. Griffin gets away with holding Arthur when he tries to go contest the shot

I hate Chris Paul so much. Sooooooo much.

Can't get mad at that. They'll never call that for anyone.

CP3 got hit a bit too

Yea it would take some major stones for a ref to make that call. I just hate the clippers and griffin especially

I can't wait for OKC to smash the Clippers. I will watch every second of that series just to see Chris (and Blake) whine their asses home to their respective sofas where they will have to watch the real teams finish the postseason out.

That game winner was 75% credit to Griffen's holding of Aurthur. Great shot by paul, but he doesn't get that room without the hold. Wish it could have ended without any questions like that.

:crytear:

Yea I wish. Never gonna get called though especially with all the grabbing and holding going on down low all game

I yea they were letting them play and I loved it. But that last hold was a little much IMO.

Wow CP3, that was clutch. I do feel like the Grizz got screwed late in the game.

Iggy is a one man show so far this game.

Curry has looked pedestrian so far through 5 quarters of this series.

Also, want to hear a wonderful stat? The Heat backcourt tonight scored 30 points on 20 shots. The Bucks backcourt scored 15 points on 22 shots (including 0-10 from deep).

Not anymore. lol

Someone here already said this but I'll say it again: I find really annoying that Curry celebrates EVERY 3 he makes.

Brandon Jennings was 0-7 from the arc.

Watching Chris Paul and Steph Curry the last games makes me want to draft Trey Burke even more than I already did.

So do I.
Unfortunately I think the FO have their sights set on Rivers playing PG.

I'd much rather they went the direction with River's at SG, because I don't see Gordon hanging around for when the Pel's are ready to contend.

I still think all the talk about River's being groomed into a PG was just as much to appease Gordon more than anything.

At pick 4, 5, or 6 I think Burke is the best and safest pick and we should draft him regardless if we need a PG or not.

Who know's what will eventuate by the deadline or the end of 2013/14.

Since you mention Steph Curry what are your thoughts on C J McCollum?
Apparently he has the same comparisons as S. Curry.
Why isn't he higher on the board?
Is it due to his age and broken foot?

Yep and Monta was 0-3. I would've put Wade and Chalmers' combined 3 pt shooting, but they only took one (and made it.)

CJ plays for a smaller school and that's always a "yellow" flag for a lot of GM*see Lillard*. As far as his comparison to Curry I'm sure a lot has to due with the fact they both played at smaller schools, are about the same height, and were both heavy scoring guards. I think McCullum is a better athlete than Curry, but isn't the pure shooter as Steph.

Holy **** Larry Sanders. That fast break.

The East must have been TERRIBLE this year if this Milwaukee team made it to the playoffs.

The East has been this bad for like the last 10+ years.

e: The Nets went through a period tonight where they scored 4 points in 12 minutes.

I love the battles between Randolph and Griffin. Go Z-Bo!!

Pondexter :3

So it's officially over. Just hand Miami the trophy.

Wow and the ship begins to sink... We will see another level of Durant though(hopefully). What's the over/under of the times Durants gets 40? I got 5

Welp Westbrook misses his first game ever in the NBA..... Hopefully Velvet Hoop (Durant, idk no one ever refer to him as that) becomes "1st" that he is trying to become.

Time for the Durantula to show up.

This is why I place so much stock into building via the draft. OKC window for a title is huge. They managed to lose their 2nd best player at possibly the worst time and I still think they win a title before that core is broken up.

Sucks for OKC and especially Westbrook. He was topping off a career year.

JR doing JR stuff :rolleyes:

The thing I hate most about this... I can seriously see the Clippers making the WCF finals now.

That core is broken up without Harden.

Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka

Harden was a part of the core but it's still a championship level core without him.

No its not. They can't win with Westbrook as the second best player and Ibaka is basically a 6'10 jumpshooter/shot blocker. Its Durant or bust.

I hope AD saw that hookshot by Duncan.

I have my issues with Westbrook, but I fail to see how the Number 1 team in the West isn't consider a championship level team.:confused:
