NBA Playoffs

Raptors will win the series even though Nets took game 1 i'm going to go back and look at the facts in the regular season Raptors played better and they are the division champions if any division champion is going to get knocked out of the first round it's going to be Indiana.

 

That Grizzlies vs Thunder game was insane.

Nets will win the series relatively easy. They have more playoff experience and future hall of famers they can go to down the stretch.

 

Holy shit!!!

Durant's 3 pointer was nasty

 

I would like to see either the Heat, Spurs, or Trail Blazers win it this year!

 

Game 2 of POR-HOU tonight! If the 1st game was any indicator, this will be a great series. I don't necessarily think POR will make it out of the west, but there's certainly no team they aren't talented & mentally tough enough to beat.

Not so sure about OKC's chances this year - as talented as they are, they've looked awful in these 2 games against MEM. If they make it past the Grizz, the trouble Ibaka and Perkins have had against Gasol and Randolph will be a huge worry if they have to play either the Clips or Blazers.

Surprised to see the Bulls dropping the series the way they are - it'll be interesting to see how the Wizards match up with the Pacers or Hawks.

Good batch of games tomorrow, looking forward to seeing how Dallas and Charlotte can perform considering how good they looked in game 1.

 

They have experience, old age, and a rookie coach that's pretty much it... The Raptors have youth, athleticism, endurance, speed, and a coach that's been to the NBA finals (with Dallas)... Brooklyn did what they needed to do they got a split in Toronto... We'll see how Raptors respond, on paper Raptors look a lot better.

I know everyone want's to see Heat vs Nets but I really don't think it's going to happen.

 

Predictions on the HOU-POR game tonight? Series predictions?

Living in Houston, I can tell you that everybody here is still VERY confident in a series win.

I'm skeptical.

 

Hawks & Raptors with an upset win!

..and sadly Wizards may win also. But leggo Bulls!

 

I think HOU will even it up with a decent win (~10pts) - however if POR grabs this 2nd game they really have HOU in a yoke for the series. Gonna be a great game/series either way, but I say HOU takes this 101-92

 

I stand corrected - my hometown Blazers showed Houston who the better team really is. Loving Stotts' ability to make halftime adjustments throughout the entire season. What they did to Dwight after that first quarter was incredible.

Now, as far as I'm aware only 3 teams have come back from 0-2 with both losses being at home - one of them being the '94 Rockets who went on to win the title that year. I just can't see that happening here, WORST case scenario I say Portland takes it in 6.

Glad to see DAL took the Spurs out tonight, I'm really hoping for the Blazers to face someone else in the 2nd rd. Bobcats-Heat looks like it could still be very interesting - at the very least I'm glad to see Charlotte having a solid team of (mostly) young players to move forward with.

Great playoffs so far, can't wait to see how things turn out!

 

Aldridge on point

 

4-2 blazers.

The possibility of them winning the series is lower than 10%. If you're down 0-2 in the playoffs, you lost.

 

:'( I had such high hopes for the Rockets this year. RED NATION!

 

Aldridge is feeling some type of way man. He is playing so damn good. Averaging like 40 points on the road or somethin like that!

GO HEAT PLS

 

Pacers are so overrated...embarrassing down 2-1 to a 38-44 regular season team.

 

agreed. I will say though that Paul George can play man.

 

Yeah he is sick as hell..but I have no idea what the hell the Pacers problem is.

 

hibbert

 

Can you elaborate? I honestly haven't watched any of the games. Is he injured? Or is he just stinking up the joint?

He was so good last year, what happened?

 

He's turning the ball over, not averaging his normal rebounds, shooting and missing a lot, fouling at stupid times...

I wouldn't say its all Roy's fault there is some poor coaching involved in this team and unless this Pacer team gets to the NBA finals (lol) you can bet coach will be job searching.
