OFFICIAL Around the NBA thread - End of season/Playoffs!!

8 Offensive rebounds and 7 trips to the line.

 

Well it's definitely Lob City vs Brick City tonight.

 

I think the Clipps are putting it together.

I've been concerned about this.

 

Wow... How is that even possible? #1 seed? 2nd round? PLAYOFFS!

 

Shooting 59% from the field, 55% from 3 (10-18), and only having 4 TOs to OKC's 13 TOs means you don't have many chances to rebound the ball.

 

I went to Game 4 of the 2003 Dallas series for free, along with 3 other members of the ESPN board at the time. Thanks GymRat!

 

8-8... DAMN

 

I think OKC is falling apart, as if the Memphis series didn't already show they could. Westbrook and Durant just can't coexist. Did you see when TNT showed Westbrook not even involved in the team huddle during a timeout in the first half? Fuck that guy. Chris Paul is soooo much better than Westbrook in his mental game. I'm pulling for the Clippers this series, just because of how much respect I have for Chris Paul.

 

I would love for this to be the start of a complete implosion for Okie town and for them to have a really down year next year. I hate that team, i don't like those fans, and i'm not a fan of the location.

 

I don't look forward to matchup with the Clippers for the WC. Think they will be very difficult for Portland.

 

I love watching this after all the ball washing of Westbrook after his game 7 Triple-double.

 

Not many offensive rebounding opportunities. OKC had more defensive rebounds than Clippers had total.

 

I hope Durant says fuck off to the OKC media for the "Mr. Unreliable" nonsense and leaves that shithole after his contract is up in two years. People here whine about the Portland media, but there is no way in hell the Oregonian would ever run that headline about Lillard or LMA. OKC fans and media have never had to suffer as fans, and they are turning on a truly great player.

 

I would like to like the Clippers, but Pussy boy Blake Griffin makes that far too tough. Dude does all kinds of cheap tactics to draw a foul/technical on another player. At least Harden is a smaller guy and so he could be thrown around like a ragdoll. Griffin is a freaking PF who plays like a pansie.

 

There are no easy wins in the playoffs. First off is San Antonio, who will be hard enough to defeat.

 

Unless you're Miami Superfriends and you play in the east

 

Man... I'm not watching the Clipper/Thunder game, but just occasionally looking at the box score, it looks like Chris Paul is having just an epic, almost perfect game. 8/9 from three, only two misses overall, 9 assists... that is crazy against another western conference "elite team". I've always had a lot of respect for how polished his game is, even though I hate how he whines and cries about every play these days, but this is just incredible to look at on the box score.

 

Understand. I just hope if Portland gets an opportunity to 'separate'. They take advantage of it.

 

No I was saying the Clips second team could not make the playoffs in the East. Our third string (which would also not make playoffs in east) beat them.

I meant Pacers
