Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)

[IggieCC]

I didn't notice until recently, but Damian Lillard is quite a baller huh?

Portland might be one or two pieces away from a really dangerous team. They just look like a team full of chuckers.. I don't know what they need to add... more toughness inside or something.

yhea eddie house , my bad

BKN has a savvy bunch, filled with guys like Joe Johnson who on any given night could kill a team. Most teams would of packed it in. This is why I fear BKN.

Yup. Those nets are the 2011 mavs reincarnated. We must play the Raptors after what I saw today I want to avoid Brooklyn at all costs

They need a bench. As it stands, Mo Williams is their bench. TRob is showing some signs. Meyers Leonard hasn't worked out at all.

The best part of the game was that Kidd benched Pierce and Garnett for the entire 4th quarter and still lost.

I'm sure that didn't sit well with those hacks but whatever. Losers!

Why do you guys hate PP and KG so much? Their Celtics are the reason you guys have Lebron.

Bunch of pussy's in this thread expressing fear over the Nets again

After watching that game, I just can't do nothing but laugh at both teams. Second round is going to be easy. The only team that could actually give us a decent challenge is the Wiz if they make it to the ECF & I only see them winning 2 games at that against the HEAT

Yeah, as someone else said, they desperately need a better, more physical bench. Right now it's all Dorrell Wright, Mo Williams, and whichever version (good or bad) of T-Rob they get. They have to play Joel Freeland on Dwight Howard sometimes...

[IggieCC]

Haha, good point. I don't want my bench to be Mo Williams alone, for sure.

I have seen some Will Barton highlight dunks but that's about it. If they can solidify their bench, I will be watching them more closely next year.

I can't answer for everyone.. but for most LeBron fans those guys are probably annoying as hell.

I am still bitter at Kidd for blowing our chance in 2011. It's all about who was the pain in the butt at any given point in your life.

Nets, collectively, are a team full of annoyance to me.

This X 100!

We may give up leads from time to time but you won't see us making these many low-IQ plays. Yes, even Rio and Cole play smarter in big games. The Raps should have won easily but they gave up 3 4 point plays in the 4th and last one was completely unnecessary. Amir Johnson went full (Please Use More Appropriate Word). You are up 5 with 10-15 secs up, if they are shooting a 3, let them. Even if they make it you still get the ball and 2 FTs to go up 4. Seriously, I would have felt bad for Lowry, Jonas, and Raps fans had they lost but that team played dumb down the stretch.

If we go up 25 on the Nets' old ass we may let them come close but it won't be because we start giving them and 1s on buckets like it's Christmas.

The nets have 43 points in the 4th quarter

I got killed for my love/fear of Nets. When you have that many vets on their last at legs, you have to fear them. They won't ever feel out of it and play to last whistle. Toronto is very talented but if you switch the roles today with Nets taking big lead in 4th, Raptors pack itin. Add in all the vet weapons on BKN it only takes one crazy series where all pieces come to,life to kill beat us. Is it likely? No. But is it possible? Yes. At end of year all that matter is the trophy no one asks who we went through to get it. I want the easier path and Raptors provide that

I agree that I would rather play the Raptors than Nets, but this part is completely untrue. Did you not watch gm 4 where the raps outscored the Nets something like 14-2 to close out the game and get the win. Similarly in Gm3 the Raps were down big (20 I believe), and still made it a one possession game with a minute to go.

[GetMoney]

harden doesnt even kno how to play basketball anymore unless he can draw fouls

same **** every play. shakes and bakes into the paint then just freezes and looks for someone to pass to

so bizarre
this is a professional basketball player

Exactly. The Raps were down 14 or 15 in the 4th to the Nets on the road and made it a game. Nets are being feared too much. Please. Watching this team in the playoffs has made me realize they aren't all that. Have people seen KG play? He is WASHED-UP. Father time is undefeated and I think KG is done. Anyway, **** the Nets. Raps in 6/7.

Not true. The Raps barely ever get blown out. they don't blow teams out and they don't get blown out. I think they had the least 10+ wins/losses in the league. They always fight back.

Nets are garbage. Raps will make us work more, even if we sweep them (which is the most likely result, I think).

LET'S GO RAPS. CLOSE THEM OUT NEXT GAME SO I CAN FINALLY WATCH THE HEAT LIVE THIS SEASON

Blazers have to close this series out in Game 6 because I can't see them winning in Houston for a Game 7

SN: Harden finally played defense tonight & came up with a huge block on Lillard along with some timely buckets

Hate that its going to be easy talk but nevertheless I half agree that we would smash the Raptors but the nets are still a bit of a mysterious team. Do you really believe KG is going to play this badly against us? There's something to be said for a team that wants blood of another team. I still believe we would win the series but nets will push us harder than Raps will. If nets pull off this series against the Raptirs(which I don't think they will), that only builds their resolve and makes them a tougher opponent
