Incredible shot by Wall.

I kinda want Wash to win. I think they can trouble the Lebrons more than Boston

If the Wiz wasn't so allergic to great basketball on the road these playoffs, you could actually make a solid argument that the Wizards could upset the Cavs..

No their role players have given them nothing -- Porter, Morris is inconsistent, nothing reliable off the bench.

They'd be exposed in the next round. Only hope is Wall and Beal go off, scoring 25 points each or more per game. But the Cavs will take them away, trap them, force others to take shots.

I picked Washington to be in the Eastern Conference Finals a long time ago....I have to admit I'd be surprised if they pull it off.

Doesn't matter, both teams are getting reamed by Lebron. Just giving the Cavs more rest right now.

Not sure what thread to put this but I'm high and just played this fool on 2K and he ran an honest to god above the 3pt line pick and roll with Patrick Beverly and Nene. I found it to be the most hysterically funny thing but that might be the weed talking.

You must be smoking the same stuff Harden was on before game 6.

I think I am! I won 3 straight games though. Not sure if anyone else here plays 2K but I feel like such an ass playing the Warriors on that game but I've played the Warriors since something like 2K2 or 2K3 so I **** get to play them on 2K17.

I've never ever played NBA 2K. Ever. Lol.

Isiah Thomas catching fire in the 4th. Looks like it'll be Boston V Cavs in the ECF for 4 games.

Kelly Olynyk beat them.

Wizards not deep enough. Brooks kept a short rotation and they ran out of gas.

Wall's jumper still not reliable despite that game-winning shot in game 6. Before game 7 he was only shooting 28-29% on pull up jumpers in the playoffs.

Meanwhile Isaiah is a total liability on the other end. Cavs will take him out of the game on defense.

Celtics role players stepped up more, olynyk today, Bradley another game. Horford is shooting some ridiculous percentage on 3s, very active driving to the basket. But he tends to shrivel up against the Cavs.

This will be an easy series unless the refs really protect IT and the Celtics role players.

BOS advances. my nba playoff bracket is perfect through 2 rounds, which is pretty cool.

I have BOS over CLE in ECF. That will be the big test of my prediciions.

GS Warriors 1 · Post #2015 » by **GS Warriors 1** » Tue May 16, 2017 4:02 am

I think Boston can take 2. Probably as far as they can go.

NOLA is keeping Gentry, so we can't get him back on the bench next year.

You better post a suspect pic of your young lady friends, just to be sure.

Lol Coxstar!

That was a fun series in the East. Now my hope is that the Celtics play amazing basketball. No matter how the series ends up, I want the Celtics to push them.

Have to say the Garden was totally rocking last night. That was cool. Young Jaylen Brown made some huge plays. Olynyk was out of his mind for one stretch. Felt bad for Wall. Totally classy move by all the Washington guys after the game. There were some sad hugs that almost brought a tear to this old man.

I love sports!!!

Brown is the man! Was a boss at Cal and might be the most hyped pre-draft name from a bay area school since...Josh Childress? God, talk about a swing and a miss...

Celtics have a shot at becoming a GREAT team this offseason. They have a serious amount of holes for a team that's as good as they are. But if they draft Fultz and sign Hayward, both look very likely, They might be able to wiggle out of holding onto Marcus Smart and get a guy like Serge Ibaka, or maybe trade for a surplus big from the Magic.
