2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): A gasping, wheezing thread begs message board poster arguing how Jordan never lost a Finals to just let it die in peace (2 Viewers)

[msudaisy26]

Woohoo Suns

 

[msudaisy26]

He does know which hand to shoot with so Philly should be impressed.

 

[Chaos Commish]

But where did she get all that money anyway?

Hubby I think. 

Good for Phoenix. Perfect year for them. Unless they take Doncic.

 

[GOB]

Magic are the worst. Absolute worst.

 

[msudaisy26]

This Suns team could be good in a year or 2. 

 

[Dedfin]

I’m not trying to be mean but does Gilbert’s kid have some type of disability or is he just a tad weird?

Wow.

 

[lakerstan]

Loved when Bobby Marks, 6 minutes into the telecast nervously talks about Cleveland getting the 8th pick....30 minutes BEFORE it was announced.  OOPS!

 

[Stuart Ullman]

My hot take on the Cavaliers vs the Celtics:

In Game 1, the Cavaliers only scored 1 3-pointer in the First Half. They ended up 4 of 26. That's 21 less points than their season average from the 3-ball alone. The crazy thing about missing 3s when you're behind is that it actually forces to you TAKE MORE THREES. I think we see a classic Lebron James comeback. The Cavaliers will go as far as Kyle Korver and JR Smith will let them.

It's easy for a team to run away when they're ahead by a ton. Lebron is going to have to make his own shots early and open up some wide-open 3s. I'm not worried about the Cavaliers defense. It seems to go the same speed as the offense. When the offense is cooking, the defense heats up too. Cavaliers by 8.

No way!! They said only the guy carrying the cards to the podium knew!!!!

 

[Chaos Commish]

I like Mark Jackson. There I said it.

 

[Rodrigo Duterte]

That whole thing was so awkward and uneventful.  Here's a blank stare everybody.  Now, an uncomfortable interview.  Wait, let's go to another blank stare in the seat over there!  And right before, to top it off, let's hear what an old exec has to say about the Penny doll he's holding from the 90's.   If you weren't pumped up enough already, that should've done it!

WTF???

I'm staying out of this because I know whoever I pick will lose and I want to enjoy the game without knowing.

 

[modogg]

intrigued with the Kings. no incentive to tank next year, they could certainly be respectable

Celtics are due for a bad game. They had them against the 76ers and the Bucks. Cavaliers can grab a game here, especially if the Lebron James fade shot is falling.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Magic are the worst. Absolute worst.

Do you think they’ll draft Trae Young? Fills a need.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Knicks fans have to be excited.

 

[GOB]

Do you think they’ll draft Trae Young? Fills a need.

Since he can shoot, I would guess there is no chance.

 

[mr. furley]

i don't have an opinion one way or another on the Sixers but, my god, enough already

 

[Dedfin]

Celtics on track for a 150-100 victory

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Since he can shoot, I would guess there is no chance.

I saw a mock with Young going to Cleveland at 8 so that's happening now.

 

[Stuart Ullman]

I still don't get how Lebron can hit impossible buzzer beaters. But struggles from the free throw line.

ETA: Dude misses 2 FTs, then drills 2 consecutive threes. Lebron James you are amazing.

 

[msudaisy26]

Since he can shoot, I would guess there is no chance.

They would probably make him switch positions and not allow him to shoot anything outside of 15 feet. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Didn't really expect a TO there. Lue ain't playing tonight.

 

[Kraft...]

Shirtless Lebron getting to the Garden Early to shoot 

 

[Chaos Commish]

i don't have an opinion one way or another on the Sixers but, my god, enough already

 

[Stuart Ullman]

Shirtless Lebron getting to the Garden Early to shoot 

They've already got the highlight montage planned out for tonight's game. "Lebron James with a career high 12 3-pointers".

 

[GOB]

Oh #### Love can dunk? 

 

[Dedfin]

Jami Gertz looks good for 52.

:reported:

 

[Long Ball Larry]

i don't have an opinion one way or another on the Sixers but, my god, enough already

Let’s not do this here

 

[msudaisy26]

Was that graphic right? 96 hours between games. What is going on?

 

[Kraft...]

Great D by Smart whatayagonnado  

 

[Chaos Commish]

wow

 

[msudaisy26]

Watching Love go after a contested rebound is painful. 

 

[tjnc09]

Since he can shoot, I would guess there is no chance.

I think he's going to be a terrible NBA player.  

 

[Stuart Ullman]

I think he's going to be a terrible NBA player.  

Devin Booker 2.0, imo. 

 

[Dedfin]

It's impossible to use your cellphone in space like that, just sayin

 

[GOB]

I think he's going to be a terrible NBA player.  

Now I think they might take him.

Whatever the wrong thing to do, Orlando will do.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

It's pretty awesome that DirecTV decided to update my device right now.

 

[msudaisy26]

Now I think they might take him.

Whatever the wrong thing to do, Orlando will do.

Then they trade him and he becomes Oladipo 2.0.

What is worse, having good players and making them bad, or just never having any good players and just grasping at straws like my team?

 

[Kraft...]

Down 4 after that Bron performance, will take it. Weather the storm 

 

[Dedfin]

Does anyone know offhand how old Jaylen Brown is?

 

[modogg]

I love the ‘ol he missed a shot so blow the whistle. Seems to be a theme in the playoffs, at least eastern conference 

 

[Kraft...]

NO MORE SPACE CAR UNLOCK COMMERCIAL! 

 

[Capella]

lol at the magic. That game 82 win is what propelled the Hawks to the top-3. Beautiful. 

 

[Chaos Commish]

If that's Bagley I think he's going to be great. Man, I hate tanking but when you put it that way.

 

[msudaisy26]

lol at the magic. That game 82 win is what propelled the Hawks to the top-3. Beautiful. 

I bet Vogel is smiling where ever he is.

 

[Britney Spears]

Game one in Houston broke viewership records. Just noting that for those suggesting what GS is doing is hurting the game.

Even though the outcome is essentially pre-determined, it’s always fun to watch the best. 

 

[Britney Spears]

Sixers let a former player get some TV time in Elton Brand, to help grow his career as coach of the G league. Celtics send their president. 

Sixers  -1, Celtics - 0. they couldn't send Heyward, or anybody else?

Celtics are playing a basketball game tonight.
