2016 NBA Playoff Thread

Did you see the end of that OKC game last night? First the Slobavian Dirk Nowitzki Enes Kanter nails a nice catch-and-shoot falling away while getting fouled - which psychologically sealed the game (and a commanding 3-1 series lead) for the Thunder on Dallas' home court - then KD inexplicably WHOPS the Mavs' Justin Anderson upside the forehead, drawing a Flagrant-2 and having to be escorted THE LONG WAY off the court by police because walking by the Dallas bench was not a good option at the moment. The game, though pretty much decided, got really chippy from that point and OKC almost let Dallas slip back into a possible comeback situation. Will KD be suspended for game 5?

Yeah, between the Thunder, Warriors, and Spurs it will be interesting to see who comes out of the West. The Warriors do catch a break because either the Thunder or Spurs will be eliminated before they play the Warriors. I really don't think the Warriors are going to have any problem against the Clippers/Blazers winner.

I only watched the first half of the Blazers last night but they were balling and beat the PaperClips to bring it to 2-1. I hope they tie it up and really give those LA Fakers trouble . . Portland has done a great job of cleaning house (keeping Damian, of course) and rebuilding a nice team. My Fantasy player C.J. McCollum got Most Improved, he's going to be a consistent scorer and a great complement to Damian if he can stay healthy.

I would love to see the Blazers win Game 4! Man would the Clippers really be feeling the pressure then. Blazers are perhaps the most overachieving team in the league. They lost Aldridge and still have had a Good season.

Steph out for 2 weeks. Probably a blessing in disguise. He can use the rest. Like they aren't going to finish off the Rockets and beat the PaperClips without him. By the time the Conference Finals roll around he will be 100%.

CP3, gone for the Playoffs. Broken hand.

CP3, gone for the Playoffs. Broken hand.

Blake Griffin aggravated his quad and Redick is playing on a sore heel. The Curse of the Clippers is alive and well. Admittedly, I would rather see them go down with everyone healthy and miserable.

I never like to see injury to anyone either but if you could've read some of their fanbases posts on ESPN about Steph it almost makes you think that fanbase deserves this. I am not so sure they beat the Blazers now.

With CP3, Blake, and Jordan all those years and cant even make a fucking Final 4! LOL

[Julius Russell]

Clippers should trade
Cp3 to Csfor a Marcus Smart, wing player, draft picks based deal.
And trade DJ for good backups at the 1/3/5 positions.


So they should look something like this next season.
Smart
Reddick
Crowder
Blake
Kaminsky


Lin
Crawford
Lamb
Etc

With draft picks and cap space

#4THQTRCHOKE!!!

Yeah only 9 points in the 4th Qtr. Pacers controlled that whole game until midway through the 4th. Vogel kept George out way too long. He was rolling last night and had 37 points then Vogel sits him. I would've kept him in because winning Game 5 on the road would've been the knock out punch for the Pacers. I had Pacers in 7 so we will still see but they blew a golden opportunity last night.

Drake is having his fun on Twitter with Paul George but he better watch it, poking the bear might come back to bite him. Drake acts like he won the Championship by winning a Game 5 at home in a series his team is favored in anyway. They are ClippersEast! Paul George has also made it to the Conference Finals twice so really Drake has no bragging rights.

[3Peatkb24]

Warriors up on the Rockets in the 2nd Qtr 48-28. How embarrassing is this for the Rockets who have Harden, Howard, Ariza, and Terry and they cant even come close to beating the Warriors who don't even have Steph Curry. Last game was 121-94 in Houston as well.

[3Peatkb24]

It's amazing how the Blazers can lose 4 of their Starters from last season and still get the 5th Seed in the West and are on the verge of eliminating the Clippers and we can only muster up 17 wins. A novice or even an Average fan couldn't even tell you who the Blazers HeadCoach is or name their starting lineup. It's not like Lillard is Michael Jordan either, he is Very Good but not Great. Not even a Top 10 player in the league IMO. I know the Clippers lost CP3 and Blake but that series was still going 6 or 7 IMO anyway. Blazers won Game 3 with the Clippers being healthy and beat them in Game 4 with CP3 playing a lot of the game. Nice job by the Blazers after Aldridge basically screwed them over. They may be the best story of the season!

Celtics done, Rockets done, and the Clippers about to be done already. Damn what a gift from the Basketball Gods

[Julius Russell]

Clippers done tonight.

Dwight sucks.

Rooting for Pacers
