THE 2017 NBA 'OFFS™

2 recent mvp winners, prob the dpoy, one of the best shooters, and a former allstar who still has a lil gas left, and theyre all at least good defenders, all except klay are very good passers, theyre unselfish and so forth

things of that nature

they def all look better than they would on a normal team, javale was basically out of the league. but they also are able to utilize his specific skill set (jumping extremely high) the best

its not hard to be good when playing w the rest of those guys, like javale and zaz arent actually good theyre just always wide open, and it doesnt even matter cause if theyre in a close game they can just play the death lineup

this was basically exactly what jvg said. elite talent makes these role players look better than they are.

warriors took it to the final minutes of game 7 last year with no durant and injured curry, they're overwhelming favorites this year imo

yup also the cavs are worse

+dray missed a game cause of one weird thing

dray is playing cleaner this year at least in the games ive watched

warriors are obv favorites but they were last year too, it was supposed to be a cake walk they were a 73-9 team

their best player was injured and their best defender missed a game

+they added an mvp caliber player this year

yeah id be surprised if he does anything this year to come close to a suspension, that whole scenario has got to make u reflect

Xp plus they weren't out for revenge/redemption

Dubs haven't even started their actual playoff rotations yet.

crazy neither them or the cavs have lost a game yet

not losing games is a good strat

more teams shd look into it

it is crazy, more so w the cavs since they kinda sputtered into the offs. there really is no way to account for 'lebron tries harder'

the raptors laying down at the altar of lebron was hilarious. what wusses.

at least the pacers had some gd pride

wld be p sick if they both went into the finals undefeated

secretly hoping for that but also the offs have SUCKED so id be down w some competition

lol the celtics/wiz series has an average margin of victory of like 16pts and an overall point differential of ~0, what is going on offs

I would be totally surprised if the Warriors swept the finals with a fully operational Playoff Bron in the building but they're gonna win

yeah u gotta think bron will win a game at least but on the other hand unless the cavs can turn their D around real fast the dubs cld just outscore bron

I fully admit I was wrong on javale I thought he was gonna mess up the dubs but just being springy and happy to be there for 10-20 minutes a night is perfect when it's raining all stars around u

Can't believe I didn't think of this before the but javale dubs birdman heat parallel was just right there

Cavs strategy to beat the Warriors from what i understand is "don't let them outscore us"

javale is a real crowd pleaser.

Cavs d was terrible for months and they've still swept two rounds, weren't facing uh offensive juggernauts though I guess

dubs/suns game and the cheers were as loud for javale as they were for curry my mind was blown

i think the celtics can win at least two games and the series will be competitive. wizards get swept imo, too volatile.

their D has still not been great in the offs, but their O has been dominant

the raptors laying down at the altar of lebron was hilarious. what wusses.

Felt like a team that had read too many article about itself and how they should break it up

And/or tired of their coach

i don't know what to think about the warriors vs the spurs/rockets. not about if they'll win the series or not, but if they'd lose a game or two.

cavs won't get swept in the finals, they will win two games

(actually more than that because they will be nba champions again)

spurs are a better matchup for them imo, rockets cld easily go supernova and take a game or two

warriors rockets would be lit

we were denied the warriors spurs matchup of a lifetime last year, i think this year the spurs will just roll over and die

the dubs have p much solved harden tbf. he may get loose for a game but nah

http://www.sbnation.com/2017/3/29/15108012/james-harden-stats-warriors-bad-defense

if harden cld pick his spots be more of a felicitator and play off the ball some he cld make it work imo but not sure if hes gonna do that, houston has so maybe shooters that he cld really make the dubs pay for collapsing on him

lo so maybe, so many

he shd try being nash instead of curry

Felicitator

Feliz baloncesto amigos!
