It is the 2018-19 NBA Playoffs discussion thread for hoops friends ONLY

it is generally best to pick the better teams in playoff matchups imo

which one of these teams is better

imo the one that led the conference wire to wire and has the best player in the series

lowry is ballin

the magic appear ready for summer to begin. vooch 0/4 and 3 fouls in the first q good job good effort. averaging 12/8/3 on 38/18 shooting for these playoffs.

he's a FA and i have no idea what a fair value is for his contract

~13m a/y supersub

That would be a great deal but probably closer to 3/50 is realistic. Teams might pause a bit after this playoff performance tho.

he was an all-star this year, that's gotta be worth... something

centers who dont play D idk

yeah he had his best season this year, this was his first real playoff appearance though which didn't go so well

his defense was improved under clifford still not above average for a center though

put him on the lakers what could go wrong

guess the nets don't wanna play anymore either

they both missed their chance when they couldnt win a home game after stealing a road one

rip My Nets

spurs blowing game 2 really starting to look bad right now. they look lost af.

lillard has 34 pts with 1:42 left in the 2nd

it's really and very specifically nuts what hes doing

i can't tell if the thunder should be concerned they blew their lead or if blazers should be concerned that dame has scored 34 and they're only up 3

really good game so far

russ still taking early shot clock pull up 30 footers is just unbelievable

weird game for sure. george started off hot then foul trouble. dame on fire the entire half. nobody else seems effective so far.

i can't tell if the thunder should be concerned they blew their lead or if blazers should be concerned that dame has scored 34 and they're only up 3

last two blazer wins they came back from early to take the lead late in the half and then dominated the second half as russ came out way too emotional and made mistake after mistake so idk this is kinda becoming a pattern

russ had to start shooting too much once PG sat but before that he was playing a good game

feels weird to say but if portland hadn't lucked into kanter late in the season they'd be absolutely boned

Kanter is really great at two things and if you can’t make him pay on the defensive end then he’s a positive player

The Loves logo on these unis is an absolute travesty btw

i mean without kanter out there it's 48 minutes of meyers and collins getting their faces smashed in by khal drogo

Wow Lillard I mean you just love to see it

russ is noticeably playing anti-elimination game russ tonight and it’s absolutely keeping OKC in the game

russ has been good yeah after a very weird series for him

i think the blazers are the better team and will win the series but blowing this game would not be fun for them

fragile team psychology for sure

put dame in

i can't tell if the thunder should be concerned they blew their lead or if blazers should be concerned that dame has scored 34 and they're only up 3

ok turns out it was the blazers

Westbrook in crunch time here we go

paul george really needs to not foul out of this game...

That Russ 3 was massive

his form was perfect too

russ and PG both showed up but huge mins tonight from grant, schroeder and even ferguson tonight

shroeder hit a couple soul-killers middway through the 4th

best game of the offs so far i think

the see-saw runs in this game have been nuts. this entire series has been great

oh my god

oh....... my god

omfg

boly sbit

dame singlehandedly won that game

yeah both those last two plays were nuts
