NBA (whenever)...

[Federberg]

That’s a good question, and I guess we can maybe attribute some of it to a lack of playoff experience, though it’s so extreme it isn’t all about that. And playoff experience is less of an excuse for Houston. Given their youth, Houston played a decent series last year against the Warriors, though that was with VanVleet and Green. Even with KD out all but one game they should have been able to win that.

Exactly! I watched that game for a while before going back to bed. It was frustrating watching the lack of offensive ideas from the Rockets. I'm not going to lie, I was also disgusted by some of the flopping that Reeves and Smart used to disrupt the Rockets half court offence. I thought playoff basketball was meant to ignore that nonsense

The Hollywood Fakers…no one bitches and moans more than Luka and Lebron..Did you see how he screamed when he got his shot blocked in the low post.. they reviewed it and overturned it before they went to a commercial break..that’s ridiculous

Tatum is out for game 7 tonight. Watch them blow the doors off Philly without him…

Its the SMART move!!! This is gonna be Brown, White and Pritchard shooting 3 bombs like they are in the Middle East or Eastern European Bloc.. This is truly you live be the 3 you D....by the 3.. Two things that Philly have in their favor.. no Doc Rivers and James Harden.. This is the game they wished they still had Drue Holiday and Al Holford to provide spacing.. Emibiid is gonna look like Godzilla vs Japan!!

 

[kskate2]

what is going in this play offs, the Hawks, the Magic and now Houston having absolute horror shows shooting the ball. I mean historic nightmares. All in one playoffs??

and if Boston lays an egg tonight, add them to the list. They were up big in the series.

Its like building a sandcastle on the beach.. you have to build and complete it early because you dont know when the tide (injuries) will come in

 

[kskate2]

I don't get it. A mediocre defensive team can step it up a little bit for the play offs but you don't just become giant stoppers. For some reason the Orlando-Detroit game is not on my TV but it looks like Orlando is killing it again. Would this be the biggest disappointment of the year if Detroit loses in the first round? Probably. A lot was expected from this team.

When you don't see them on TV, it's because they're on Prime. Somebody told Amazon they could host sports and so they tossed their hat in the ring for NFL, NBA and anything else they can outbid.

I didn’t realize that until last night, was watching a show on Prime and noticed they were advertising the NBA playoffs. Wouldn’t have access otherwise aside from going to a bar. I can only take “this NBA” in small doses anyways

Life was better with cable.. soon the local news will be on a streaming service.. we are definitely getting our pockets squeezed to watch live tv

The problem for me is even though I have Prime, the Canadian version cannot show it because of regional deals. Not nice.

I don't really have Prime to watch stuff. I have it for the shipping. Been watching NFL Thursday night the last couple of seasons and frankly who told NBC to get involved in the NBA again? The musical chairs you have to do to watch a game this year is crazy. I remember when TNT and ESPN (ABC) carried all the games between them and then ABC carried the finals.

 

[DarthFed]

Boston is the only one I see with a chance in the finals. All 4 of the remaining West teams would win against any team left in the East.

Embiid playing like somebody stole his lunch. He's been blocking all this crap in the paint which forces Green men to jack up more 3s.

I knew that appendix was weighing him down !

At least it isn’t as bad as games where Wemby chucks up a lot of 3’s when he is 7’4 with a 100 foot reach

 

[kskate2]

that was crazy! I hope all the fools riding GSW about Kuminga take a step back now. He can be good, but then he can be BAD!! I woke up to watch Wolves-Nuggets, the last quarter of the Celtics game was still on. Those boys are choking away the series. Do they have no plan B??

They don't have a plan B. All that iso ball is all they know. They are currently being crucified by a Philly team passing the ball like a hot potato.

You may have spoke too soon. Don’t underestimate Philly’s choking ability, it’s top class even with no Beard or Rivers.

Whether Philly fully chokes or not, it doesn't negate what I said about Boston. Right now they're getting help from the zebras to keep the game close.

 

[Murat B.]

Who hits the buzzer beater and wins it for his team? May come down to that.

 

[kskate2]

It'll be Embiid or Maxey. PG has been inconsistent tonight
