lol. do you really want warriors to play celtics in the finals. surely you want a rematch
grin that's not tough enough. I'd prefer a Cavs - Celtics to game 7 and finals rematch not a sweep. Even the NBA would do everything in its power for a rematch grin

I swear I thought this Kawhi doesn't bleed cos the way he plays is as cold as death.

King James here again dominating as usual. At this point, you wonder how the Celtics ended the regular season number 1. LeBron was simply phenomenal in every aspect on both ends. A dominant win for the Cavs. Defense, ball movement, motion offense. I love the idea of kyrie scoring and sharing the ball.

Raptors is a pretty decent team, it's just that they don't have enough offensive firepower, and their defense is easy to collapse when Cavs starts to rock, they don't stand a chance. It's a sweep for us.

Thumbs up.

But the Raptors should not be undervalued. i see them taking game 3 or 4 at home. James is just from another planet.

Whoever came up with that slogan is stupid as hell cheesy


In the land of the blind, the one eyed is the King and the Cavs are truly Champions.. Story of the East.

Hopefully we Golden State Peasants will "manage" to revenge with our subpar roster cheesy We need more help but we'd manage.

They have a chance of winning a game at home only if Derozan shows up and not miss his first 9 shots or shooting 2-of-11 from the field for 5pts and Ibaka not getting embarrassed on the defensive end.

As for LeBron. He's always a beast in playoffs. Best player in the playoffs so far.

Bron should improve on his FT shooting though


Btw, who saw that game 5 of Blazers Warriors was the same day booked for Chance the Rapper at Oracle Arena even before playoffs started? It's everything grin

Wow. Just read the story now. He could have lost hundred of dollars if the Warriors failed to sweep the Blazers. I'm sure he didn't expect Blazers to sweep, he expected them to get swept. Nawa for Blazers sef. I never wanted them in that 8th spot, I wanted Grizzles or Pelicans.

If I had a milli, I would stake on that matchup to also be a sweep

Everybody knew that was gonna be a sweep. The whole nine yards

At least we gave Pacers one game before Lebron came to ruin it in game 3. That series was fair. Pacers lost by a combined 16 or so points.

But not Blazers Warriors. It was even worse when Nurkic got injured. Kicking someone when he's down. The game 4 just summed up the embarrassment.

Yes. I'd agree another team may have stolen one primarily the Nuggets. Pelicans late run towards the season end might also take one.

Even when knowing they went 4-3 in regular season and beating Jazz, Spurs, Timberwolves and Suns without Jusuf in the games left. I doubt you would stake a milli on them to sweep. Sure the games look like a sweep to me but i just can't stake half a milli sef grin

If pelicans had signed DMC earlier, they would have have gotten a playoffs spot, Sac were above Pelicans before he left for Pelicans. Cousins, Davis, Holiday and a rejuvenated crawford(He has been money in the bank for scoring with double-digit in 15 of his 17 games as a Pelican) would have given Warriors a tough time.

Now that your Bulls are out. I hope you are rooting for the best Eastern conference team grin

Blazers are pretenders. They are slay queens that were blowing whistle on Whatsapp fuckboys till they met again on Twitter cheesy The only team they can snatch 2 games from was OKC and that is not a compliment.

I can't wait for next season and the few trades/drafts that will happen. This season was the better one in a long while and Pelicans will make the WC even more competitive. That conference is about to be a jungle

Hell no. Celtics had it easy beating us. I'm not doing anyone till they are eliminated. I'm petty like that angry

Roland17:
I am in support of that because i think its the toughness of the sport that makes it attractive, however, i have seen retrospective actions for similar hits, especially considering he was blindsided. Niskanen cross checked him to protect himself, and that was how the knees got Crosby's head, however, if u look closely you see his fist go through Crosby's head, which made it worse.

The NHL does not want to fall prey like the NFL, softening the game would lead to loss of followers and ratings like the NFL. Its a thin line, but that was a dirty play on Crosby. Don't forget Crosby has a history with concussions.
Toughness no suppose apply for head matter oh. Any head hits especially unnecessary ones like Niskanen delivered have to be punished sternly. Even combat sports stop a fight when the other party can no longer defend themselves

We are talking CTE here and something that would affect the player's quality of life later on. This is the 21st century not Ancient Rome.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:40pm On May 04, 2017
C'est dommage for the Spurs. Hard to see them get past the Rockets without Tony Parker

This summer James Harden needs to hook up with Gary Payton or some other guy that can teach him how to play defense. He has the size to guard from 1-3 and while everybody can't be Green or Kawhi he could at least try. A team trying to win a title can't cope with a star player being so bad on D. Isaiah we can understand, James has no excuse

Only 2 teams have not played WCF since 2000: New Orleans and Clippers

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:25pm On May 04, 2017
DeRozan needs to add some range to his shooting. Its pathetic. In today's game most players work on reducing their weaknesses so I don't understand DeRozan 8+ years in the game and still can't shoot the trey. Now with Lowry doubtful its probably a sweep

George Hill is out too. That his big toe they need to do something about it

Otto Porter has been on some other shyte
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:17am On May 05, 2017
The referees started out managing the intensity and physical nature of this game very well. However, it has changed and the wizards are enjoying some ridiculous home cooking officiating, which has led to escalations and verbal outburst.
