NBA Thread: The Offs - Round 2

Lakers were in every game. Denver just out executed them when it mattered. Tough for them. they gave Denver some tough ass games

 

Everyone's thinking it, few are saying it

 

Kobe like

so clutch

 

Timberwolves are going to be incredibly difficult to beat

 

Now LeBron knows how the Raptors felt all those years

 

That series is going to be a war.

 

Unbelievably, Lebron clearly has some juice left in the tank. Wish he would ring chase. He doesn't need to. But it would be cool if he did imhv

 

KD, Steph and LeBron make it happen universe (nba script writers)

 

he already chased his rings with the Heat, it wasn’t that cool actually

 

That would not be cool, watching him put an entire poorly coached team and poorly run franchise on his back in year 21 is much cooler

 

lol you have a very different definition of “ring chasing” than everyone else

 

Porter Jr was the X factor of that whole series, that's the guy Minnesota is gonna need to keep in check

 

Poor Lebron

But he also hand picked his team to get himself in that mess

 

well he did win a title and then got eliminated by the champ two years in a row. not sure I'd call it a mess. He just happens to be a free agent and I think he should consider getting pretty wild with his free agency.

 

Tough timing for Chris finch being in a scooter when they play the team in the mountains

 

Denver is not actually in the mountains hth

 

then why in the heck was he named john denver, if he was he singing about all them mountains

 

Gonna be tough without Lebron for the rest of the playoffs. I'll try to soldier through.

 

Warriors fans are just weird, but we’ve known that. #LightYears

 

you’re such a sad pathetic old man

 

Not to mention one of those was in the Western Conference Finals. First round losses suck and nobody should get credit for that, but being in the Final 4 is enough to not call it a mess. The roster isn't bad at all, they just have a shitty coach.

 

All these people talking shit in here and you come at me with this. Go fuck yourself.

 

yeah because you don’t even post in here and come in here once a year to dance on lebrons grave like a fuckin weirdo

 

Sincerest apologies for triggering you.

 

please be true goddammnit

 

Nugs fans wear the Us vs Everybody shirts all the time

 

Tough off-season ahead but now the Lakers can pursue Trae Young in earnest.

 

What team would they go to? Would the egos of the two that moved to whatever team the third is on be able to handle that?

 

Sucks to not know ball

 

You are now arguing with the contention that Denver had to defeat their first round opponent prior to playing a second round opponent. Because wow, just stunning hoops illiteracy.

 

You were clearly implying the series was going at least 6

 

This is starting to feel like a bit

 

This series had 2 Murray game winners. It was incredibly close.

 

Give the three of them an expansion team in Seattle. My post wasn’t serious, I’m sure the salaries would make it impossible.

 

has a migraine from trying to think of another way to cheapshot someone, he's running out of ideas

 

it's an interesting hypothetical though

 

I don’t feel like this was close at all. At one point when Denver was down 10 the line on some gambling site for them to win straight up was -120

 

it’s like the Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Mickey get hired to act out sick conditions for medical school students, Joel is just picking random conditions out of a hat each day. Gonna be tough when he comes down with scurvy before game 6

 

That’s because they’re the better coached and more talented, overall, team.

If either of these teams ended up on the other side of the bracket, I’d bet on this having been the conference finals. Unfortunate draw for LA.

 

they were in the play-in, they got the draw they deserved

 

game winning last second shots aren’t indicative of close play those are just your vibes showing

 

I think almost everyone agreed that they match up with the Thunder way better than they do the Nugs.

Denver and probably Boston are the only teams that can effectively deal with LA’s size.

 

Weird argument to stand on from my post. I didn't say they didn't deserve to be in the play-in or seeded 7th. I said, from LA's perspective, there's no one that was a worse draw for them than Denver.
