i have something to say about the offs THE 2016 NBA PLAYOFFS

more like the cistern conference amirite

naw, the top three teams in the league are in the western conference. wait a bit until the wcf & ecf & finals and it will become more apparent that the wc still rules, just not with the same depth it has had lately.

xp damnn

This series is the only one that has a chance in the west. Blazers have some figuring out to do tho. See what coach of the year stotts is made of

Stotts dragging it out hahahaahahha

lol at this chris kaman beef hack-a stuff

Blazers need this

Light a fire

This is gonna take 25 more minutes

yeah i got shit to do here folks

Wow cp again diving at CJs legs with the ball

i suppose in some ways its a sign of respect

Kawhi DPOY

deserved

yeah that clip of him denying lance (then lance throwing a fit) from last night is all time

draymond second, whiteside a distant third.

kawhi and dray were really the only choices

just like last year

its weird theres no dominant shot blocking big man right now

whiteside? or do you mean dominant in all aspects?

Lmao lance in that clip I hadn't seen that

whiteside can def be scored on inside but when he's on the floor you'll see a lot of guys get near the basket, pump once and then pass the ball back out

ya whiteside obvs a great shot blocker but not actually a great defender, wheres that rim protector guards are scared to even go near theres usually a couple of those guys around

hes a bad one on one defender but yeah every time i watch i see guards just keep dribbling around rather than try anything, dude def has a major effect on the interior

whiteside's problem is more mental... i.e. yesterday he overplayed a pnr handoff and tyler zeller drove right past him for a dunk. but if he's in front of the rim he's usually a real deterrent, and he is good at baiting smaller players into trying layups just so he can block them. low post scorers who can put footwork on him or shoot hook shots over/around him can neutralize him tho.

yeah spottie otm

thankfully there aren't that many low post scorers in the nba anymore either

i was loving old man big Al vs whiteside. hornets will probably be going to that a lot more for the series to get HW in foul trouble

or to get buckets

whiteside is a must watch player imo, eyes are glued to him when he's in

was listening to lowe and coach thorpe previewing all the series this morning and although thorpe is wrong all the time he made a point about how whiteside gets off his feet too easily when guarding big solid dudes and it's actually the non-leaper types has he has trouble with. that may be right but i do think he's just a bad one-on-one defender, jelly k is not a big solid dude but he just cut at whiteside from various angles and hassan wanted no part of it.

gobert is probably the closest to an all-around good defender shot-blocking dude

otm, maybe bogut but he doesnt play many minutes

ya tru re gobert forgot abt him

yeah rudy gobert is the best rim protector i have seen this year

only potentially competitive series goes to nbatv

heh understandable tho

yeah more of a flaw in the whole concept of the first round that most of the cool teams/players will win easily

what if only 4 teams made the playoffs like baseball

cn see why someone thought it was a good idea to limit it to 5 games

btw cp kinda destroyed dame last night huh

watching the clips leaving aminu completely fn wide open was pretty brutal, they didnt even close out

yeah cp3 is gonna do whatever he wants against the blazers

aminu hit so many 3s vs the celtics when they tried that

chris paul will also lead the clippers to victory over the golden state warriors

rip blaze rip dubs rip league rip life

chuck believes that to be true xp

charlotte/miami also getting the NBATV treatment on weds

lol chuck is such a clown man that guy hates the warriors guts it's so funny and petty

someones got to do it really
