[NBA] Western Conference Playoffs, Round 1

[kingsboi]

while this game got out of hand, I absolutely love the feistiness and physicality of this game. Thunder are going to get swept if they don't start making their three's

 

[kingsboi]

Westbrook gets those flashy triple double numbers but I'll take Lillard over him ten times out of ten

 

[SLAB]

Love seeing Westbrook lose.

 

[ppine]

My recollection is that Patrick Beverly was briefly with the Kings a few years ago, but I like to watch old movies because they are so brand new.

 

[ppine]

Mike Malone did a great job of lining out Jamal Murray after his poor performance in the first half. This is what good coaches do. Sorry we lost him.

He has never played for the Sacramento Kings.

 

[kingsboi]

can we just fast forward to Rockets vs Warriors?

 

[ppine]

Is it just me, or is it difficult for you to watch James Harden and his act?
The Boston Celtics have been a great defensive team all year. Last night they really showed that it wins championships.
I like watching Denver

Derrick White looking ridiculously good in this series

to me it seems he's one of those players where he would not be this good if he wasn't playing for Pop

Same

I also get that feeling with guys like Forbes and Poeltl...and several other Spurs players throughout the years

 

[Joshoua]

I love basketball I do but this might be my las game in a while the wa the refs give a ****ing stacked team lik GSW calls.

 

[VF21]

The Clippers are going to regret coming back from that big deficit to win game 2 The Warriors are awake now...

 

[kingsboi]

so do the Clippers have another Jekyll & Hyde performance for the second half?

 

[kingsboi]

I just want to mention real quick that Denver's guards are terrible at defending and they made a role player look like an All-Star tonight. I thought Malone preaches defense to these dudes?

You can lead a horse to water...

 

[VF21]

KD with 3 technicals and it's only the 3rd game of the first round?

 

[VF21]

31 point lead for the Warriors. I don't think they're gonna let this one get away. Sorry Clippers fans...

 

[Joshoua]

Imagine stacking your team and celebrating pathetic

 

[SLAB]

Clippers woke the beast. Have fun, rest of NBA.

 

[ppine]

Malone was not happy with his defense. Denver may be on the rampage soon.
The intesnity of the playoffs is very interesting. The defense in particular is upgraded. The Kings defense has improved a lot but there is always room for a stopper like Beverly. I enjoy the mental warfare. Devin Currant is too good. It is demoralizing.

not having Boogie actually makes them better

Must get out of the first round.

Denver is better than this, i expected Spurs to be tough but Denver needs to outwork them to ensure the national narrative of Denver are a regular season darling at best is not further espoused

Denver is the better team, it's just that they lack the experience that the Spurs have. Denver needs to get one on their home court or this series is done.

Malone needs to get the most out of them and he is more than capable, no one loves Malone more than Pop, its a ringing endorsement. Its not his style but should then need more offensive spark IT is buried at the end of the bench

 

[sergmatt]

If I'm Mike Malone and the Nuggets fall behind by 10-12 again late in the 1st quarter or early 2nd quarter......I'm dusting off Isaiah Thomas and hoping he gets hot. At that point what would they have to lose? IT is definitely capable of catching fire too and getting them back into the series. The Spurs don't have any real quick PG's to stay in front of him or true shotblockers either, so it's actually a good matchup for Thomas.

 

[kingsboi]

Dame Lillard with 25 third quarter points....the dude single handedly brought the Blazers back from 16. incredible player.

 

[kingsboi]

Kanter cannot be stopped. to think they got him off the waiver wire too.

 

[Joshoua]

I was one of the biggest Westbrook fans not anymore. Talking crap to Dame when you’re too scared to guard him is a ***** move can’t respect that

 

[steelevt]

A few of us would have been cool with getting him here but I'm sure he's happy going to a high seeded playoff team.
