Hornso Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I've found the playoffs very entertaining so far, but at the end of the day, the Warriors & Cavs both swept their opponents. Looking all set for them to battle in the Finals for the 3rd year running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerniesElbow Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yeah, looks like the reports of his "diminished skills" were exaggerated. Every once in a while the old man can still get it done and single-handedly lead his team to a win, when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kwahi + Parker had not got injured then the spurs might have given the warriors a game but both conference finals look like easy 4-0's now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been little excitement since. Even the finals is going to have about a week's delay because both series will end so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The final should be good but I think the Warriors will have too much for Cleveland. 4-2 Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, wouldn't be surprised if it only goes 5 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Pretty terrible game one. The poor rebounding and turnovers from Cleveland meant it wasn't competitive. If Klay Thompson gets his shooting back this could be 4-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well that's the finals over anyway. Cleveland with 77 combined points on 55 percent shooting from LeBron James and Kyrie Irving and still managed to lose. It's been a terrible playoffs this year.

Keyblade Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 This Warriors team is just too good. The Cavs are playing lights out and still can't sneak a win. Durant has made them unstoppable. They have a chance on Friday to be the first team to ever go 16-0 in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be time for the NBA to adjust the salary cap rules or something to try to stop teams stockpiling talent. For the likes of Durant, harden or lebron their wages aren't really that big a deal compared to the endorsements from reebok or Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is, as ridiculous as the current state of affairs is, it's nowhere near the disparity in modern European football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Draft next week. Kings pick 5 and 10. Would've been 3 and 10 if not for the Philly trade. From what I can tell you can't really go wrong with any of the prospects predicted to go top 5. Fulz and Ball will probably be 1 and 2 with De'Aaron Fox, Josh Jackson and Jayson Tatum following them. As long as we don't trade up and keep the 10th pick I''m fine with any of those guys.

abdomlahor Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Lakers send Mozgov and Russell to the Nets for Brook Lopez and the number 28 pick. Not sure why they seemed so desperate to get rid of DLo. I suppose that means La'Var is getting his wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
