NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3

[Ruzious]

The ending of the Spurs/Clips game has been amazing.

It's hard to imagine a better matchup in the first round. Some of these Western Conference series are going to be classics.

Man, Boston was playing great but let Cleveland go on a run to be up 8 at halftime.

It will be interesting to see if Milwaukee does the same thing - if they let up right before the half.

Epic choke job by the Bulls in progress. Damn can't believe they fouled Rose there. Bucks up 1 with Rose going to the line.

[tontoz]

The Bulls were up 10 with 3 minutes left. OT

Second OT ready to begin in MIL. I just cant figure out JKidd's offense. Seems like the Bucks just kinda throw it around aimlessly until there's 10 on the clock, then somebody goes to work one-on-one.

It's not Kidd's fault entirely, Carter-Williams as the point guard is supposed to be the coach on the floor but he doesn't know how to play the position, nor does he have any type of skill level to be a threat.

Anthony Davis is something else, man. It wouldn't take much to build a title team around him honestly.

I turned the Pelicans game off in the fourth. They were up 18. I thought the game was over.

Amazing....they may give us trouble in the Finals...

Steph Curry, ICE!!! Feel for NOP, against a mortal man this would have been a win for them.

This could also go in the Countdown thread

best 21 yo player in the league by a huge margin. top 3-5 player. But man, not being absolutely
perfect at the end of the game last night (1-2 FT with secs left)...ouch. They had no room for error against GSW.
Refs gotta do a better job watching Bogut off the ball in his offensive lineman act.

[Higga]

I love Beal but imagine if we had Cleveland like luck and won the lotto in 2012. Wall and Davis would basically guarantee we'd win a title at some point in the next few years.

[dobrojim]

That's seriously messed up about the WT story saying the refs would have called a foul if Curry's shot had missed.
If it was a foul and it arguably was, GS should have shot a FT FTW.
The announcer was right though, deliberately foul someone and give up the 2 FTs. Don't let them tie the game
on a 3, especially when they have Curry.

[LyricalRico]

Meant to say this yesterday, but kudos to Brad Stephens for the job he's done with a rag-tag group in Boston. They play hard, play smart, and are not scared at all. Was really rooting for them yesterday.

Maybe this is Thibs last chance to get it right in CHI

Player that believe in him will bring a little extra this year.

Spurs destroyed the Clippers. Duncan, Ginobili and Parker combined for 12 points but Kawhi had 32 points.

Mavericks go down 3-0. They could use Crowder and Wright right now.

They sure could, FAH. Houston has too many athletes. Crowder and Wright are both efficient and athletic.

Tonight the Mavericks could have used Dejuan Blair. Dwight Howard grabbed 26 rebounds and completely manhandled Tyson Chandler.

Dirk Nowitzki cannot guard any more.

[dckingsfan]

SA and Houston should be really fun to watch... kind of feel bad for the Clips though... tough to go through the west.

[queridiculo]

Don't care much for Howard. I think he's dirty, and he's a punk, but I have to give him credit.

He's making his presence felt where it matters. Defensively and on the boards.

Over the past few years Howard was way too worried about getting his, and being a superstar, worrying about his shots and what his role was on offense etc. Howard is far more effective when he's blocking shots, snatching every rebound in sight and converting some of that hustle on offense into points on putbacks.

Anybody catch Carlisle in the post game? Pretty much waved the white flag with his talk about physicality..
