NBA Playoff Round 1 Thread

[the27guy]

The last couple of minutes were just awful. But man, I’m proud of my guys. Despite all the mockery from the media after the first couple games, they held the best offensive player in the world to an abysmal shooting percentage, won a game and kept two others close. The rockets couldn’t afford to lose tonight and with a few more plays, they would have. With all due respect to the other side of ther bracket, I still think the Jazz would have gone to the WCF if they’d have ended up over there. But we will never know.

If they shoot like this, they won't get more than 1 game against them. The Warriors will be focused this year after what almost happened last year.

You gotta understand, it’s because whenever someone does something amazing, he’s the easiest example to use for comparison.

Ya, as someone else said, tough to even feel bad for Utah because of all the chances they had. They are just so bad on offense. They've reached their peak with this roster. They desperately need some shooters and another playmaker for when Mitchell has these nights.

No, what Dame did last night, lebron has never done. Dame had 50 in a closeout game (never done by bron) and hit a shot to end a series (never been done by bron) so there isn't a comparison here.

Well said my man.

I’m honestly rooting for Boston obviously, but I’m really not gonna be mad if Dame keeps winning. Love the dude and Portland is due for some good luck after all the disappointments over the years.

Yeah if they'd merely shot 'poorly' instead of 'terribly' that would've been an easy win for them.

y-the jazz have a good core team. Need help for Mitchell, who is willing to handle the load. Ingles is not consistent, and not scary, but effective in multi cat. Gobert is the "eiffel power", Favors has to go, keep royce, trade rubio/rest, find a better combinaation of players. Maybe Crowder../.

Kind of lost a little bit of respect for him after that. Instead of congratulating on the tough shot, all he kept saying was 'it was a bad shot...but it went in.'

Dame does Dame. Prob what he should have said. Heartbreaker. Still, the nuggets are a terrible match for the blazers. Can pop close this round?

Lets not discount what Currys done and say Lillard couldve done the same things pre-Durant because thats pretty laughable.

Post-Durant, sure, why not.

Warriors are shooting even better from 3 at 9/13. Clipps have been making a lot more short range shots

[NeedChapmans]

LOL Draymond Green. 71-63 Clips at half and he's got no points and two boards.

Warriors should seriously try to talk KD into staying by saying they will trade Draymond. He wasn't very good to begin with, but he's just sad now and I don't think GS needs him anymore.

Kick Draymond out

Sure can jaw down by 10.

[Saraste]

Green is just trying to impress Izzo...FAIL!

[clipperboy24]

Keep it up Clipps, moving the ball and beating the warriors at their own game.

[Kingofkings1281]

Not being sarcastic when I ask if Draymond Green ever closes his mouth.

[clipperboy24]

Man that was a questionable foul call on jamychal, that was his 5th too, big call. Dang that sucked

[clipperboy24]

They are overloaded Lou will so much he needs to pass quick out of those double teams
