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

xp
kd
russ
refs
adams
ibaka?

congrats to the great nba coach billy donovan

Something like that xp

seriously tho it sucks kd is gonna entertain like a dozen teams trying to court him this summer and there will be a zillion articles about it and then he'll resign with the thunder and I will die of boredom

ya rly, this series should put to bed any idea that he's leaving.

so basically go dubs, trash the fuck out of this wack association

idk things cld look diff if the dubs destroy them xp

Swear every game these teams have played the last couple years has been close.

And they destroy the dubs on the glass so if bogut is out...

Could just go death lineup for 35 minutes a game tho

ya my memory is more close games until the dubs win by 15

I want 4 repeats of that ESPN game earlier this year where steph won it with a 35 footer at the buzzer

warriors are obviously favored but i at least hope it's a real contest

Someone actually asked a relevant and substantive coaching question and popvich went with "are you a coach now?"

haha yea he was testy

q: "after such an amazing 67-win season, are you disappointed with this result"
pop: "everyone gets disappointed, only one team in the end is not disappointed"

kinda sad for the spurs but salty af Pops bringing the goods

Thunder with Adams and Kanter on the floor: +27 in 66 minutes
Thunder otherwise: -30 in 222 minutes

Goddamn

Oklahoma City outscored San Antonio by 21.8 points per 100 possessions with Adams and Kanter sharing the floor, making it the most effective of the team’s 25 most-used two-man units in the series. Durant and Westbrook (+4.0) didn’t come close.

When Adams and Kanter played together, the Thunder grabbed 45.1% of available offense rebounds and 84.1% of available defensive rebounds – marks that would’ve led the NBA by miles.

:O

plus it's aussie (bogut) vs. kiwi (adams) and those nationalities have weird beef, it's gonna be vicious

And both are masters of dirty little tricks. They may both foul out in the first half of every game

Spurs-Thunder was the first time ever that a team with a point differential better than plus-10 lost a series to a team outside that group.

Previously, the only team with a double-digit differential not to win a title was the 1971-72 Bucks (+11.2), who lost to the Lakers (+12.3).

Crazy

Pretty crazy they didn't try the twin towers look more during the reg season. Maybe Donovan is a genius!

he at the very least had the good sense to be desperate

maybe one of Donovan's assistant coaches sussed it out and sold it to his boss. we prob won't find out.

harder to roast kanter when theres a huge longhair clogging the lane

kanter should get very limited minutes in the gsw series, just because you beat one team one way doesnt mean you try to beat every team that way

cavs had great success w twin towers last year

they didn't have enes 'bad defender' kanter as one of their towers though

personally i think the halal bros beatdown was less some masterplanning by billy donovan and more something he ran into as he shuffled his lineups around but def credit to him for realizing it was actually working and not just defaulting back to ibaka

ya but their success was prob more due to rebounding than otherwise bad d xp

yeah i just dont know how well 'get all the rebounds' works vs a team that makes a lot more of their shots than the spurs

gsw also a better rebounding team than the spurs iirc

cleve did so much better than they shldve with its def worth a look with an actually talented team, of course that all ended when the dubs went small but theres no guarantee thatll work every time
