NBA Playoffs
Re: NBA Playoffs
Crazy day for sure. How about Deandre Jordan's record? I'll admit I don't like the hack a Shaq tactic in the first half and will concede the comment about the 3 hr games. But seriously, unless you watch the NHL, who watches the playoffs. All you have to do is check the ratings.
Re: NBA Playoffs
Colossal comeback by the Rockets! Can they get by the Warriors??? Golden State is firing on all cylinders right now, and I don't see Houston taking more than one game.
In the East, I believe Lebron can will the Cavs past ATL. I don't see ATL winning more than two games.

Re: NBA Playoffs
James Harden is a tremendous player, but his backcourt mate right now is Jason Terry. Hard to see them running with the Golden State backcourt for a whole series.
I don't think Atlanta has much of a chance, they've won their two series but haven't been anything special in those games.

Re: NBA Playoffs
Draft lottery tonight, I like the top 3 players a lot and I think anyone could be a catalyst for the future.
D'Angelo Russell seems likes a James Harden type.
Jahlil Okafor is a back to the basket, post move kind of guy. More physical Tim Duncan.
Karl Anthony-Towns seems like a great guy with "potential" but was kept down playing in the Kentucky 10 man rotation.
If I were drafting, I would take Okafor, but I could make a case for Russell.

Re: NBA Playoffs
Cavs-Warriors is my finals prediction!
And who will the Lakers get at three? And how will Jim Buss screw it up? HAHA

Re: NBA Playoffs
I don't follow the NBA at all but something caught my eye the other day. Pro scouts have Kaminsky as a late lottery selection. The NBA must be a much different game than College Basketball because IMO he was the best pure and well rounded college basketball player that I have seen in a long, long time.

Re: NBA Playoffs
What a depressing post season.... this shows how oblivious high basketball minds are with their rules.... 24 second shot clock is the #1 cause of these blowouts. The game is way too rushed and their isn't ever a chance to set anything more than a pick and roll play up. and now with the college game going to 30 seconds the game is going to be dead..... it's now who has the hottest 3 point shooters and not basketball

Re: NBA Playoffs
You should really watch the Warriors play, it's an art form. The shotclock will help numbers wise in the college game, but the game play won't be much difference. The NIT used a 30 second shot clock, unless you knew about it going into those games, you would have never noticed.
Kaminsky isn't really athletic, isn't great in the post, but he was a good college player. I think he's a lottery pick, but I think it would take him a few years to establish himself as an NBA starter. There's a lot of talented guys at the top of the draft, but Frank should be able to latch on somewhere in that 12-18 range and be a nice pick.

Re: NBA Playoffs
Golden state is playing well but they look amazing because how poor competition is in the nba.... no defense being played. These final four teams all would get spanked if they were in the 90s. And the problem only starts with 30... all the idiot's out there want college to go to 24 and that'll probably happen soon. It ruins the flow of the game and just makes it about the hottest shooting team.
