I was soooo looking forward to west round one since like December, but lack of Phoenix and the top two seeds likely to crush 7 and 8, plus the lack of bogut has really brought it all down to earth.

Wouldn't bet it but based on reg season matchups, totally conceivable that:
Nets > Heat
Bulls > Pacers

What are the big injuries right now besides Bogut? Marc is fine, right? Kinda want to pick a Griz upset so Brooks gets fired.

feel like that wd be best for everyones sake

we all seem to be in general agreement about every series except portland vs houston?

kevin & lagoon like the raptors
i like the wizards
kevin, cad & lagoon like the blazers
dayo likes the warriors

I almost chose the Raptors... they looked good from the games my friend the Canadian and I watched

Valanciunas is a beast

i seriously haven't seen the raptors play at all this year so i have hard time mentally getting over the hurdle that they're not just the raptors, despite all smart NBA people assuring us that they are indeed a dangerous team

tbh i just picked portland so id have an upset in there

raptors have v good ball movement which i feel is a good predictor of playoff success

Yeah Grievis does a good job, and I feel Derozan and Ross are two big X factors who could either go off in the playoffs or just shit the bed

Also Lowry is back

i think the raptors will definitely make it a series but i'm leaning towards the nets' veteran experience :-/

yeah my pick def comes in part from not having seen the raps very much but i think brooklyn is just going to be tough to play against in a playoff atmosphere.

as far as houston there's just something about that team i don't like, idk if portland will be the team to expose it but a guy can hope.

Haven't watched the raps either. Or the nets tbf, since bropez went down.

i've seen too much of the nets considering my locale

they're a good team but i think their chances of making the east finals are being overplayed a bit

Yeah Nets Raps feels like a classic 'youth v experience' narrative, who knows

portland-houston should be a bonkers series either way tho

feel like if pat bev can shut down lillard portland has no chance

is he healthy?

the one interesting thing about that series is whether the rockets switch dwight onto LA

aldridge plays so far away from the basket that it would totally invert houston's defensive system, but on the other hand i feel like he would destroy terrence jones

he got hurt but then he came back, i'm assuming he's fine xp

i think it will be interesting to see if portland plays batum at the 4 a bunch

Pat Bev will be back but yeah he has a partially torn meniscus no?

PDX really turned it back around once LMA came back didn't they

So do we think Blake will get two more techs in this series and have to sit out another game?

resets for the playoffs no

IND v ATL — Pacers in 6
MIA v CHA — Heat in 4
TOR v BKN — Nets in 7
CHI v WAS — Bulls in 5

SAS v DAL — Spurs in 5
OKC v MEM — GRIZZ in 7
LAC v GSW — Clips 6
HOU v POR — Blazers in 7

WE HAVE A LIVE ONE Y'ALL. Grizz over OKC huh

there is no chance of that happening

I don't care, want to see ZBo & Gasol going to do +20 damage to Orc Durant, gonna be uuuugly.

Man I would love The Grizz over OKC

I thought this game was tomorrow for some dumb reason ugh

wow spurs are getting hosed

GINOBILIIIIIIII

durant just straight falling over is the based god curse

this is v tense

okc played terribly down the stretch, deserving loss

congrats m bise! the better team won.

So, Spurs vs Heat. We'll need a new thread for that one.

i watched this game at a restaurant with my wife's friend's teenaged son and we fucking owned that fucking restaurant

FUCK THA WORLD SPURS RULE 4EVA

boris diaw should have his own holiday. i am basically amazed every time he makes a good basketball play.

He'd definitely start at 4 on my all-flashy-passing NBA team

Rondo
Ginobili
Iguodala
Diaw
M Gasol

No joke this play gave me chills of witnessing team hoop perfection, had to rewind like five times

They also ran a variation with mills diving under the basket and the direction of the last two passes flipped that worked almost as perfectly and I think got Danny green the four point play

I thought pop almost blew it going with that Diaw & 4 smalls lineup just a few minutes too long and not bringing Timmy back in but it all worked out

The Boris reclamation project continues to amaze me though I thought for sure he was on his way out of the league when he was trapped on that all time bad bobcats team

Spurs ball movement is almost pinball-like.

Xp He sucked at the end of his suns run too. Was a very frustrating player.

Pacers gross me out a little tbh. They come off as dudes who spend all their time watching porn.

THE GLAZED DONUT FACE-OFF -- spurs! heat! it's the NBA finals 2014, where little fatasses happen

lol hurting, how did you come to that conclusion
