A40 I really didn't pay him attention to be honest. But now I'm more than convinced he know his turf.
Roland17 I was referring to guys here who still don't stay woke about GSW grin
Eruditor, Westbrook can't be in my team to think they needed a 2 to go OT.. His last two minutes in those kinds of games is very disappointing to watch.

Joining the season late. Greet you all fans.

Cleveland already in the final before season started. Great to be playing in the eastern conf mehn.

Clippers are balling and I know for sure, series with the Warriors will be bloody. Too much hate between dos 2. That will be the most interesting series in the playoff imo if it happens.

Thunder lose again yesterday, They started the season roaring like East African Lion grin grin with Westbrook having above 100 points in first 3 games. I don't even like them, their whole team bitching on Durant

Caveliers are balling really hard, I didn't expect to be this hot. They already in the Final because East Conference teams are just too weak, We can't say that if they are playing in West Conference. While cavs are making Cleveland proud, Browns are there disgracing Cleveland. grin

Nahh. I knew they were going to win the game, that's not revenge. Revenge was when we had to whoop their ass in finals after a 3-1 lead grin grin

As for thunders. Their fans are pissed with their level of play . Adams defense is getting weak, Westbrook ballhog playing for his Stat, Kanters is just a mess to the team.

Westbrook wasteful at times and seems to just want to do it himself which drains confidence from other players. His only mission is to get the MVP award. I dont see him getting a ring in OKC this season

The bolded summarized the genesis and end of OKC problem, so pained the KD left and he want to show him he can do it alone. I don't even think they will get to playoffs the way they are going. I am just happy Thomson form is back,I wish to meet Cavs again in final and show them sweet revenge
Re: The NBA Begins by freaskie(m): 6:13pm On Nov 24, 2016
Its a joke to think that okc will keep playing like this and wouldnt stabilise...come on guys...that assumption is just ridiculous...A good coach, very experienced in rebuilding, Russ, a year-to-to improving centre, ...a top 5-10 defence, top 5 robounding team, improved bench getting a hang of things, possible trade for Rudy Gay, d lil and subtle Cameron Payne effect that will stabilise the 2nd unit when back from injury...way too much in the tank...PERISH THE THOUGHT...MBOK!!!

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:25pm On Nov 24, 2016
In the event this season's finals is a repeat appearance by the Cavs and Warriors

Merely defeating the CAVS in the finals would not be deemed sweet revenge in my book. A sweet revenge would be a dominant series by the Warriors, which results in either a SWEEP or limiting the CAVS to 1 victory in the series.

Common! Just beating the Cavs is good for me. I don't care if it's the last shot of game 7, just beat them.
Too early for that though.
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot:
a clean sweep or a gentleman sweep.
still won't change the fact that the warriors blew a 3-1 lead cheesy.
but make we no rush,still a long road.
I think I read somewhere that it has never happened in the history of the league for two teams to face each other in three consecutive finals.

Roland17:
You made a good observation about the Spurs. Historically, Pops game has not been predicated by pace, however, the current pace of his team is quite slow. Also, new pick up Pau is a horrible pick and roll defender, he not better under the rim either, this also accounts for the pace of offense.

My problem with the Clippers has been historical (Mental, Behavioral and Tactical indiscipline) . Do u notice players like JJ Redick and DJ rarely play 4th quarters? they would have to rely heavily on their bench to carry them through the conference during the post season. Also, Griffin would have to play with power under the rim. In a bid to expand his game, with the inclusion of jump shots and 3's, i think he is gradually straying away from his "barbecue chicken"!!!!which is under the rim.

During the post season, the games slow down, it becomes a half court game. half court games mean you have to build offense through tactics because easy transition buckets would become difficult. Griffin's jump shot can be taken away by opponents during the post season. Their offense would have to rely on CP3, Speights and a streaky J. Crawford who has struggled this season.

I just hope they stay healthy this post season, and if they fail to get to the conference finals i think it would be appropriate to call them a bust.
I couldn't agree more really.

Cavs will reach the final, too early is only for GSW. The East is a joke really. I am hoping Boston Celtics just help slow Cavs down some how. I have lost faith in Toronto even though they would be a solid play off team. As for GSW, I do fear SAS more than Clippers but I am still observing the latter with a pin-hole Camera.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:53am On Nov 26, 2016
The Mavs may as well just tank this season. They are losing by ridiculous double digit numbers.

They've taken over from 76ers. Dirk should just retire midway through the season, use injury or something as an excuse. It's embarrassing

BTW, who thinks Love right now has improved? 3rd best PF in my book currently.

Lol. Savage. As a spurs fan, the Nba wanted Warriors in finals and they wanted Cavs to get their first ring. It was so obvious that the Nba helped both teams.

The game that Draymond was not ejected GSW lost. They also lost the next game after it. No advantage whatsoever. A clear advantage for example would be a situation where Curry gets nudged and tossed all playoffs long and refs call it a foul even up to game 4 of the finals. After game 4, refs started unlooking it and giving bigger and far stronger players easier fouls. Sometimes when you see 40+ points check to see if they did not get 17 FTs while at it.
