Bros you guys need to wake up asap. If the bulls steal game 2, you can just kiss the playoffs goodbye

I feel like Bulls are a better playoffs team than Celtics if healthy. Celtics are#1 in the east partly because they they play like the western conference and have the young legs to keep it up. In the playoffs though, hustling is a given, and you have to be able to plod through games and take account of each possession. Bulls may have less skilled players, but they are great system, possession by possession players - I think this is a first round upset coming up for Celtics-Bulls. If anything, I think the emotions actually help Celtics here - they need to blow the Bulls out of the water right from get go and REFUSE to be lured into snooze ball.

Doc rivers looking exposed rite now. He stays after this season based on player loyalty

lolawilliams:
That was sooo close. However if Indiana keeps playing hard like this, they have a shot to upset the Cavs only if we play a good defense. 1 Down

I expect pacers to win 1 or 2 games off of p george's brilliance. Pacers made some last minute mental mistakes like that last timeout. Cavs escaped with experience this game

zopaks:
Awful news....sister of Boston Celtics ' Isaiah Thomas was killed in a one-car accident early Saturday morning.

Oh boy...not the kind of news you want to ever hear. And right before the playoffs. Crazy. Bball looks very low priority right now. Condolences to the green family

Eruditor:
Seems Bucks might upset Toronto in their series.

Memphis on the otherhand are looking way too athletic for SAS.

22-9 as I type this.

The young bucks team was clearly not scared of the raptors. If raps thought the bright lights of the playoffs will make bucks wilt, they know better now. I don't see bucks repeating this performance

btw horus thanks for posting it. like wilgrea7, i disagree with several things khalid says (maybe more lol), but i will take thought provoking videos over bba etc anyday

A40:
West

Warriors vs Blazers: Sweep.

Spurs vs Grizzlies: Sweep.

Rockets vs Thunder: This would actually be a competitive series. I think the duel should determine who wins MVP. I'd give Harden but wouldn't be too mad if Westbrook gets it. I just think the Rockets offense would be too explosive for OKC. This has a 7 game series potential. I am leaning towards 4-2 or 4-3 Rockets

Clippers vs Jazz: Even without the injuries that have plagued the Jazz. I just think they don't matchup well enough to bother the Clips. But Clips gon Clips. Still I would pick the Clippers 4-2

good point on the mvp - I think it should be westbrook, but its going to be harden just because houston probably wins this series

Wilgrea7:
i just read about this man.... his courage is extraordinary.... i salute him... Khalid Abdul Muhammad.... he made good points... he spoke for the black race... and the end his own fellow Muslims tried to kill him... what a world... God help us all

Don't allow smooth talkers to confuse you, by their fruits you know them - the guy talks of things he cant prove or disprove. I was intrigued about his split from Farrakhan, and I believe this man's unbridled anger led to his untimely death. It is unfortunate, because his passion could have been used to good effect, but for that anger.

I've always said that nothing concerns a Nigerian with what (allegedly) happened to a barbaric tribe in Northern Palestine millennia ago, Nothing, absolutely nothing

Lets follow your logic brother.The automotive was invented by american - Ford. Why are you making use of it in Nigeria? What of the cellphone you hold, the pain medication you use, etc.

My point? Wisdom, knowledge and understanding are the three legs on which success stands. It is not black, white, yellow. Wisdom is wisdom regardless of who discovered it. If Jesus is the Son of God, it doesnt matter who discovered the fact first. Or where it was discovered

aliondo:
great matchups...not yet made mine....would have preferred the cavs met either the BULLS or MIAMI heat.....

cant help thinking bron didnt want to face his buddy in the first round anyways...

btw...anyone wanna post their predictions on first round matchups? Jazz in d playoffs is confusing me

Roland17:
Brad Stevens has gone about building an identity for this team without the hype. He has stayed under the radar, deflecting the attention to the players. I am very proud of this team.

A team with only one star, usurps the defending champion who boast of 3 super stars and first team all NBA players to finish first.

While finishing first does not necessarily depict a long run in the playoff's, i think it is worth celebrating for the players and fans.

#greenrunsdep

Let your teams achievements stand on its own, no? Isnt it interesting that you still have to mention the cavs to help burnish what the celtics have done this year.. lebron's greatness is a spectre for friend and foe . Anyways, lets see what your boys are going to do.

Btw, the cavs have picked a hot potato. when p george gets hot, he just gets hot. And he can win a game or two by himself.

Sapiosexual1 and Donlittle, this is the almighty Thunder Roster.

Lou Williams has no chance against Alex Abrines
Oladipo will desecrate Eric Gordon
When Patrick Beverly sees Semaj Christon, he shivers
I'm not even going to talk on how McDermott, Singler and Roberson will pepper Ariza and Ryan Anderson
I pity Nene on the boards, what Adams will do to him ehn

All Star gang

make i quote am...we go see na

this world is wicked

finally, the playoffs is in sight...ahhhhhh. If only I had abifoluwas's photoshop skills. But I shall make do

[quote author=anonymous6 post=55395027][/quote]Exactly what Im thinking. I think he did this to get spotlight off the Russian probe. But, oh boy, I feel sorry for the innocent lives that will be lost by the time all this bickering is over

I have to give Obama credit here. Sure, he failed on his word to hit Assad when he crossed the line, but it looked like Obama would rather lose some pride than engage in what could easily turn into a world war.

SmooshCHN:
Cavs vs Hawks (4 starters rested) and still lost at home.

It's like they do this shit so everyone can look down on them then come back in playoffs.

kinda like the lakers when kobe, shaq, *what is the name of that short man devil of a PG*...Fisher... etc used to have some lousy games - playoffs was what really mattered. Regular season is boring, and Cavs cant wait until playoffs. Cavs also have enough talent to pull through regular season and act like they are playing hard. But like the Lakers, this could come back and bite them come playoffs. Some days, that on/off switch just doesnt work. Coming out of the east is not a given..Lebron is nowhere near as physically dominant as he used to be....I hope Kyrie is working on those fadeaway Js

see me thinking we missed out when Horford refused to even look at Houston. Father, I thank you

Eruditor:
Big fan of Curry here but I agree with this. Kyrie plays more like a streetballer while Curry plays finesse fundamental. So Kyrie just about edges it.

tim hardaway be like smh somewhere

Eruditor:
North Carolina vs Gonzaga

Im loving this game, but the refs are trying to ruin it

Am I the only one impressed with the way Pinson plays?

Decale:
Lolawilliams, shouldn't you be twerking that booty somewhere on your day?

Happy +1

haba

smoosh wetin dey happen o...

Roland17:
Kentucky guards, Fox and Malik Monk are unique talents, and they have controlled the pace of this game. As for Ball, i am not buying the hype until the pros. Lavar is a marketer, he knows the media would buy an exaggerated talent.

you know, i didnt think of it that way. it looked like dad trying to share son's glory. if as you say he was attempting to raise his son's brand, I hope it doesnt backfire - if every guard tries to play him like Fox did tonight, this brand is going to be an anchor around his neck. Fox looks NBA ready to me..just the mental aspect even

hoping ucla loses tonight...too much lonzo ball hype

Eruditor:
Cavs are not in a crisis.

wawuu

sapiosexual1:
There you go with the mental ish once again.lol lol lol, they are coming for you, sure as daylight.

loool...we gon be ready. mentally

lolawilliams:
This fantasy league is getting interesting. Birdman Nd SmooshCHN, you guys should trade your top players with me before you get eliminated abeg

the way thing ended...do me like film trick i thought joephemzyz had luscious beat! smoosh peaked at the right time.

in oda news, skywalker is defeating the great satan

Eruditor:
Curry still bricking them 3s. What is Ayeesha doing to him?

bball is 90% mental. those parking lot 3s he made cannot be practiced for, it was a mental space he was in...nothing you could do to stop that 3. I think he allowed the attention to get to him, which has thrown off his mental game some. If he ever regains that form, I will give mad respect..that 'microwave' switch is hard to turn back on once it turns off. If Im Curry, I'm getting off social media, and banning Ayeesha from social media too . You think adults are wise enough to keep some crap out of the home

A40:
You sound so sure the Clippers would beat the Jazz

i know rite...clippers love to choke. lets see..
