NBA 2016-2017 Season

[gunnar hendershow]

Ha, well I have a bit of a crush on coaching phenom Brad Stevens so it's surprisingly hard for me to root against them.

[Benjamin]

For the East, I'm all in for whoever wins between Toronto and the Bucks. Boston against the Wizards is going to be a super fun series, too. The East is pretty fun this year.

[Tyrone]

Spurs!!!

Also hope Gobert is okay...

[Benjamin]

With Tony Allen not being able to play, this will hopefully be a easy 4 game series for the Spurs so they can rest up early. I can't see HOU-OKC doing anything but going the distance. 

Heartbroken for Isaiah Thomas. On the eve of the start of the Playoffs, where he's already got so much pressure stacked on him, I wonder how his head is going to be at. 

[Meacon Keaton]

I hope Milwaukee is able to keep this team together another three or four years, cuz yikes.

[JasonM]

Iso Joe dropping the dagger at the buzzer, what a guy!
They lost Gobert after ten seconds, who didn't return (hope he's okay!), Jazz struggled with fouls early on as they had a hard time containing the Clippers' bigs. But they made the adjustment, and generally looked defensively on point whilst Hayward and Johnson started to get hot the further the game progressed. Derrick Favors was running on empty at the end, but even he came up with big time plays down the stretch.

But hell, Joe Johnson at 35 is still born clutch.

Go Jazz, fuck the Clippers!

So we are the best team in the East now right? The NBA works like wrestling. Or it should anyway

[Meacon Keaton]

If basketball was like wrestling, you'd have to play the Bulls, and only the Bulls, every week for the next year, not just best-of-seven. 

[Kyle]

If I know anything about wrestling, it's going to mean the 7th game in the series goes to a draw and the Bulls and Celtics become tag team champions.

[Tyrone]

Spurs!! Officiating was horrible, though, Memphis got slaughtered in the paint and got no calls.

Also I take back every bad word I've ever said about Danny Green. He's been killer on defense and with the 3s.

[Kyle]

I had such hope for the playoffs, but at 2-0 down my hopes are very close to being extinguished. Stupid @New Year New Srar!'s team.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Yeah, I know this is the only post I've made in this thread all season but hey Raps, if you could pick it up that'd be great.

[Tyrone]

Epic Pacers collapse

[gunnar hendershow]

Ballgame, Pacers imploded. 3 days until Paul George begins lobbying for a trade.

I am perfectly fine if they don't. I was there for the beat down last night and will be there for the beat down on Saturday too!

[Benjamin]

The Bucks / Raptors series is so fucking fun. I want the winner to go all the way to the Finals. Fuck the rest of the East.

[thatshortguy]

I'm with ya.  If Atlanta traded every single person on their roster for Giannis, I'd support it.

[livid]

I would not.

[Your Mom]

This is going about as well as everyone thought it was going to go for us now

Finally the Celtics pulled their thumbs out their collective ass.
