Western Conference Playoffs, Round 1

[Joshoua]

"Thug"?

Ya that’s what I call someone who jumps a 60+ year old man

 

[chief bromden]

I still feel like I’m yet to ever see Klieber do anything at all. Lol

The European Harrison Barnes, if you will?

 

[chief bromden]

Welp Luka being hurt makes this series way less interesting, what a bummer.

 

[Joshoua]

We could’ve had Porzingis I’m mad

 

[Livinthedream]

Luka gotta start lacing those shoes up tighter.

Lol good job kawhi about time you get over 5 assists, he’d embarrass himself on a non stacked team having to create offense

Sure.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jeff Green playing well in the playoffs for seemingly the first time ever.

 

[Joshoua]

Nba refs have to be trying to be bad cause this is embarrassing

 

[dude12]

Harden and CP3 making it tough on refs under a minute



OKC takes the lead with 13 seconds left

 

[Joshoua]

Seriously between players flopping and refs calling every touch foul basketball has become unrecognizable

 

[Joshoua]

LA- 31 ft’s
Portland- 8 ft’s

 

[Tetsujin]

Nurk absolutely useless right now. One fast break away from just passing out on the court.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lakers just letting the Blazers have free shots at the hoop on multiple possessions and Portland largely saying no thanks

Mind boggling and Nurkic just throwing crap up at the rim with no hope

Lebron and AD just kept cherrypicking under their own hoop and the Blazer still couldn't score 3 on 5 for like an entire three minute stretch. I have never seen anything like it. Also how did Stotts not call a time out after the third or fourth time an extremely tired Nurk missed a point blank fast break layup???

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Stotts be Stottsin'.

There was like 14 seconds left on the shot clock and it was 3 on 2 for Portland and they passed up 4-5 good looks

Harden was on a fast break with only Schroder running next to him. Schroder doesn't even try to defend because he's out of position so Harden just throws his right elbow into Schroder's gut and then jumps up and lays it in and gets the and one.

It's ridiculous. Getting harder and harder to watch these days.

I remember that play absolutely absurd

 

[Joshoua]

If Dallas is gonna continue to miss open threes they have no chance

 

[Tetsujin]

Luka’s got a bit of that Boogie complain about a call to the refs so long that the other team scores on you thing going on.

He’ll learn soon that LA teams get calls no matter what

 

[Joshoua]

So much for Luka being a bad defender

 

[Tetsujin]

As great as Luka has been it almost feels like the Mavs success in this series has been more about Trey Burke randomly becoming unguardable after years of not being very good.

His crossover has been unguardable

 

[Joshoua]

Serious Luka is playing some amazing defense while getting this triple double

 

[Tetsujin]

His crossover has been unguardable

With the rest of the Mavs being spot up shooters or bad shot chuckers, he’s given them a second iso scorer for when Luka is resting or being guarded. Not sure how sustainable Trey’s play is but it’s made them dangerous in this round.
