2018 NBA playoff's

[QueBert]

I searched but there's no thread this year? WTF!

I'm watching the Raptors game right now, 5 minutes left and the Cav's have benched everyone and it looks like they have 5 white players in right now. LOL

If Lebron keeps this up for just 1 more season i don't see how it can even be argued that he's the GOAT. Jesus his playing has elevated from great to some new level that doesn't even have a suitable name.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

We the North!

LOL!

I almost feel bad for Toronto. Almost.

Philly looks as expected against a team that's better coached. They are still very young and will be a force next year if they stay healthy. They had a good win last night to make it a series with Boston, but there is no doubt the ECF will Boston and Cleveland.

and I don't understand how people have suddenly anointed him GOAT for a few games against the Raptors... I mean... He always crushes them.

What? You mean they are still playing? Wow, I thought it was already over. I guess it shows how much I really care.

First the Leafs and now the Raptors, good times

"The fans at Quicken Loans Arena celebrated to the sounds of Drake's "God's Plan" during a timeout midway through the fourth."

Too bad the Wizards couldn't last 4 quarters and beat the Raptors. The Wizards are a better matchup against the Cavs than the Raptors are. I'm sure the Cavs would have won but I don't think it would have been a sweep with multiple blowouts.

If LeBron goes to the Sixers next year I'll buy season tickets... And like live like 2 hours from Philly.

Edit: Holy shit, there's a waiting list! LMAO, and they're selling spaces in line. Never mind then.

I think I'll try to go see him play once next year. Probably worth it to see him once in person before he retires.

Yeah I went to 3 Wizards games this year since my buddy has a connection to get a suite that includes unlimited booze and food, and it's top shelf alcohol and great food. 2 of those games were playoff games (game 4 and 6) and the playoff atmosphere there was really a blast. Next year I plan on going to the Wiz/Cavs game in the suite and we've already talked about it. We'll probably go to a Warriors or home opener game too. It's definitely more fun when the arena is packed and everyone is into it.

Playoffs.

Cavs.

An apostrophe is a terrible thing to waste.

That's awesome! Closest I've been to that is a suite at a minor league baseball game. Food and alcohol were not free but it was still a much nicer experience than sitting in the stands. Makes me wish I had significantly more disposable income.

It was like $130 total after tip since you have a private server in there too. You can make your own drinks but he will also make them for you if you want, and he's running around bringing new food in/out, and he'll go get you whatever you need. The suite opens up an hour before tipoff and closes like 30 minutes after the end, kind of just when the employees run you out of there. So it's basically like a 4 hour open bar/buffet plus you get to watch the game.

And the best part is you have your own bathroom so you don't have to leave the suite to take a leak.

DAMN 2 minutes left in the FIRST QUARTER and Lebron has 21 points, insane. He's obviously not happy about getting blown out Sunday.

Celtics are underrated talent wise, and play with a relentless style, I love it.

Massive props to Lebron for the scoring ability but he simply murders the Cav's offense some nights. There was no reason for the other Cav's players to be on the court the first quarter as he completely monopolized every possession. I was hoping he would continue the pace and have a 70+ point night but he gassed and no one else stepped up. The Celtics meanwhile have their sloppy moments but they work everyone into the offense for the most part and play better later in the game because of it.

It's way past time for hero-ball to die in the NBA, but it's been their brand for so long I'm not sure that they are willing to part with it.

Expecting anyone to put up 70+ points is not very realistic, the problem Cleveland has is Lebron expends so much energy scoring he plays little defense, can't blame him at age 33. His teammates need to step up and give him some help.

Yup it looks like the entire Cav's team is just sitting around hoping that LeBron carries them to the finals again.

He doesn't have Kyrie this year, (traded to the Celtics) so no legit star to lean on, it's not realistic to expect LJ to expend the energy he does, (and for 41 minutes a game) and be that effective on D. Some of the Celtic 3-point attempts were totally uncontested, you can't play like that and expect to beat a good team.

Damn. I guess I'll have to continue to sit on hard benches and pee into troughs with the other peons.

i mean, the whole NBA is a formality at this point

nobody is going to come close to beating GSW

I think they beat the Celtics, but expect a battle, this young group is sick and tired of hearing "you can't win", they seem to like shoving it up peoples ass..

Nonsense, they got spanked tonight, now I don't know if Houston can do it 3 more times. But Curry has a history of either choking or playing just average in playoffs/finals. He shot 38% and was 1-8 on 3pts. Klay played even worse, I don't suspect either will play this badly next game. But if Houston plays like they did tonight, even if Klay & Steph play like all stars it would still be a toss up for who wins.

After what I saw tonight I'm wondering if the finals will be Celtics Vs Rockets. That would be a big shocker..
