[NBA] Western Conference Semifinals

[kingsboi]

double OT? yes please. This is Playoff basketball. the rest of the teams need to step their games up.

 

[kingsboi]

this game won't end. let's make history.

 

[kingsboi]

one more OT and history will be made. can't believe this.

 

[steelevt]

Murray is no Dame. 4 OT it is

 

[Suicide King]

this game won't end. let's make history.

Who will foul out next?

edit: no one really in foul trouble

 

[Suicide King]

The next game is going to be rough. So many injuries.

 

[steelevt]

Damn you Will Barton. That missed ft dropped the chances of 5 OT severely.

Edit: Hood fixed that

 

[kingsboi]

Rodney Hood gets inserted and scores 7 points for Portland. Big time sub for Terry.

 

[Agent23]

What a fantastic game! Its 3 pm out here and I’m delaying going out to the park with my kids to finish this game lol.

 

[kingsboi]

instant classic this one, it will take quite a bit for a game to top this one in these Playoffs

 

[Suicide King]

What a game

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Damn that was crazy. I turned on the local news and they beat around the bush for 5 minutes before acknowledging the game was still on, had no idea. What a finish.

 

[steelevt]

I wish these 2 teams didn't play so early in the playoffs. I'd be happy knowing any of them went to the finals

 

[iowamcnabb]

I only saw overtime, but Murray was a total non factor out there. Was he gassed? Great game!

The fattest player on the court plays the most minutes 65 minutes for Jokic wtf

In RS he played around 32 minutes per game, or so. It's like two consecutive games played by him. Denver lost when Harris fouled out.

 

[Tizzy Flip]

Kanter was such a fortuitous pick up for Portland.

Remember when there were rumors of us trading with the Knicks to get Kanter? He would have been a big upgrade vs WCS. His toughness is underrated

his defense is as bad as advertised though, he can't guard a traffic cone.

I don’t think you’re considering the defensive end. Kanter is typically quite poor on that side of the ball. The KINGS are in need of a lot of improvement in that area and Kanter doesn’t provide it. He would improve rebounding, which certainly helps, but he can easily be taken advantage of once the opponent has the ball — especially in PnR.

I think the KINGS are better off w/o. Portland only needed him due to Nurkić‘s injury. It’s doubtful he’d be playing much otherwise.

I do remember that. Like others have said, his defense was/is the main knock on Kanter. He is definitely tough.

Oddly enough, in 2015 Kanter received a four-year, $70 million offer sheet from the Portland Trail Blazers which OKC matched. The Trail Blazers have definitely had their eye on him for years.

Rockets iso ball late game execution has been terrible. They are lucky this game is going to OT.

 

[kingsboi]

Curry ought to appear on Shaqtin' for the next segment

 

[Suicide King]

Curry ought to appear on Shaqtin' for the next segment

This is what I heard with Curry's attempt

 

[SLAB]

Lmao Curry!!! Even rooting for the Warriors as the lesser of two evils, that was freakin’ fantastic!!

 

[Kingz19]

Man, Curry was a disaster in the 4th quarter and OT

 

[SLAB]

Who’s ready for the Warriors to be completely ordinary (by their standards) once KD bolts? It’s going to be great!

 

[KingsFanSince85]

I guess the Rockets bitching and complaining about the officiating worked. Cause that was a clear charge on Harden to put them up 5. Draymond was outside the restricted area and set.

The Warriors should have had the ball with a chance to tie.

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, Curry was a disaster in the 4th quarter and OT

Steph played like all of our scrubs at the end of the Portland disaster put together.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Steph played like all of our scrubs at the end of the Portland disaster put together.

I don’t think Steph or Klay have been right since their ankle injuries against the Clips. Their jump shots have been a lot more inconsistent.

 

[Kingz19]

Got to say that Zach Collins has been surprisingly impressive in this series. Playing well on both ends.
