Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)

Thank you Clippers & Warriors. Now that was a REAL Game 7

Oh yea Clips > OKC in 6, I'm calling it now

I hope so, bruh but CP hurt. Griffin gotta go toe to toe with KD. Griffin's first test, IMO.

[S Curry]

Clippers don't have a real defender against Durant, he is gonna get his easily, the question is can they stop Russ/Jackson & Ibaka and then they might have a chance.

I actually think we should be more "afraid" of LAC then OKC, OKC is a very good team but we have a good match up with them, LAC has the match up against us (despite us having Lebron that they don't have a good defender against him)....

BG won't be guarding KD

I agree what Vertical Limit said, CP3 doesn't have to win the series for the Clips. The Clippers front court is something serious & ain't no way in hell Perkins, Ibaka or Adams stopping Blake & DJ. Also Clippers bench > OKC bench

Lol come on give me more credit than that. I know Blake isn't going to be guarding KD, you think I am that much of an idiot? In terms of having impact on the series and being the best player in the series Blake has to go toe to toe with KD.

my bad PW...KD will easily be the best player in the series but that won't mean anything, trust me. Clippers are more than capable at stopping everybody else

I hope so, I just think CP will have to show up but it will be a great series regardless.

The X-factor will be Doc vs Brooks. Doc will run circles around Brooks.

we match up better with OKC than Clippers, we should actually want OKC to win but for the fact that we all probably hate OKC

[dr3am]

I love how the TNT crew think OKC is going to roll over the Clippers. Clippers 4 key things OKC doesn't

Half court offense: Clippers

Coaching: Clippers

Depth: Clippers

Front court: Clippers

The only thing OKC has is a guy by the name of Kevin Durant

also CP3 nor COllison can defend Westbrook. Both teams defense suck pretty much. Its whoever can score the most type series

Your'e right CP3 nor Collison can defend Westbrook BUT Westbrook can't defend them either. And I agree 100% it is a "whoever can score the most type series" and that's why I picked the Clips. Their half court offense is way better than OKC

i had the Clippers easily before i saw them play the warriors. That was way too hard for them to be honest. As long as they don't let Ibaka or Jackson go off MAYBE they can win the series

Westbrook could easily shutdown Darren Collision, come on now, Westbrook can actually play defense and destroy a team's PG every single night if he has too.

It is not like Mike Conley got off against him or the the Thunder in general. Darren Collison was crap against the GSW.

Thunder just has to hope that Steven Adams and Kendrick Perkins can do a decent job against Blake and Jordan.

I think OKC is too much for the Clippers with Westbrook, Jackson and Durant on the perimeter if it is an up and down game. Who's gonna guard them, Westbrook, Durant, Thabo could wreak havoc defensively on the perimeter.

What it really comes down to is if the Thunder is willing to play aggressive perimeter defense thus speeding the game up and killing the Clippers on the fastbreak.

[Aiolos]

Been waiting for this playoff matchup for 3 freakin years!

Hyped its finally here!

Clippers have have always played the Thunder well since CP3 came there.

I think this series is going to be a war.

OR Clippers can attempt to play Durant exactly the same way that Tony Allen does, ball denial, stick to him like white on rice and avoid fouling. They have guys who can do it, Barnes and Granger, they won't be as effective but you have to at least see if the refs will let you play him physically. The Clippers can definitely score with OKC, the issue is can they defend.

the matchup with Ibaka and Blake is absolutely crucial. The thing Clippers have over them is they are much more disciplined. If Doc can get them to play some defense in this series, clippers can pull through

Worst day's basketball of the playoffs last night.

All 3 home teams winning and I'd have liked all of them to lose.

[Golden Angel]

such a disappointing night basketball wise

No ****.

Okc got lucky that zbo didn't play
Clippers suck just luck that no bogut or ezeli, dray green has more heart than that entire team combined.
Pacers...luck

This gonna suck w/o gsw... west playoffs gonna be boring, I'm rooting for you guys to 3peat, no other team deserves nothing!

[SweetTouch]

What am I reading

OKC easily beats the clippers in 5 or 6 cuz brooks takes a while to adjust

[dancing2thabeet]

I probably won't be able to watch the MEM@OKC game for a couple of days, so I want to ask here: What happened? Did OKC win it, did MEM lose it, or did refs win it? Thanks.

Mem played w/o zbo(suspension) and still put up a fight.

Okc = overrated , lucky.
