NBA 2015 Playoffs Thread

Any Mavs fans want to tell me again how that trade wasn't a trainwreck? Anyone?

Also, fuck Josh Smith. That negro be terrible, and you cannot convince me otherwise. He's an affront to anyone who loves the game of basketball.

The trade will help them clear cap room for Durant in two offseasons, who they will miss on?

Brooks fired? All those injuries and the wasted season might be worth it after all.

Other than winning a title, best result possible. Bring in the UConn coach and get everybody healthy. Also, murder Waiters.

Looks like Rockets-Mavs will be a sweep. Didn't really predict Parson out the whole series, Harris probably out the whole series, and Rondo fucking sabotaging the team. He has now been kicked off the team basically.

Dude just killed his FA value in less than 3 months.

It was a bad trade. They had a beautifully working offense before the trade and his game completely hinders it. I thought maybe renewed defensive prowess could make up for it but that's hardly been the case.

No, they had a soft schedule before the trade, and they had lost every game against Western playoff contenders because of Jameer Nelson getting torched by Westbrook/Curry/Lilliard/CP3/et al.

They have still been a top 5 offense since the trade, but they weren't winning shit without a PG who could guard the West's elite PGs (which Rondo didn't do a bad job of when he cared to). The trade made their bench a tad worse, and they lost some picks, but Jameer and Crowder were non-factors.

The trade was high risk-high reward, but it's not why they are losing this series - Jameer Nelson and Brendan Wright wouldn't have made a difference. It's Parsons/Harris being out mainly, plus Monta having an attitude problem for the last 2 months and playing like trash.

Billy Donovan to OKC? I love it. Get his as out of the SEC, and I think he's a very good coach.

How many FUCKING times are the Spurs D just gonna let Griffin and Jordan get behind everyone and get a lob for a dunk!!!!!

If the Spurs get this one it's over in 5. Clippers starters are already dead on their feet. Doc can't expect to play his starters 40 minutes the whole series, and their bench is ungodly.

Edit: Fucking Duncan man. Putting on a clinic.

Duncan might be 523423 years old, but he's still legit.

Greetings from Costa Rica, Rocketsbros. It feels good to see that the management made the right choice with Parsons and the team is beating that dallas ass.

I like the way the bulls are playing right now, especially rose. However they still aren't healthy so kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Warriors getting humbled in NOLA. This score keeps and the W's will likely win Game 4 by 250.

Pelicans SMASH.

This has to be the best the Pelicans have played all year. The defense is excellent. Protecting the rim with authority.

Curry is pretty good at shooting basketballs into hoops.
