NBA Playoffs

[darthseinfeld]

Draft Lottery tonight. Hoping the Mavs get the #1 overall pick although there's only a 13.8% chance of that.

Mavs should come away with a 'chice player no matter what

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Mavs got the 5th pick, I think they'll draft Bamba from University of Texas.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Well with the meltdown by the Cavs, gotta thanx the Celtics for letting King James leave and go to either my Lakers or the Sixers. Personally I want Cousins or George and a resigned Randle myself.

I told yas it's never easy to win in Boston during the playoffs. Laker fans know this lesson best and that's why i keep repeating it you all, i learned the hard way over many decades.

I didn't think GS would be this good during these playoffs because of injuries, i like Houston in game two but i'm thinking that series might end 4-1, GS advances and wins another title.

Well its celtics vs warriors for kind of change i guess. Even though gs will win it.

No doubt.

I really don't even know why I watch anymore, Durant joining GS has ruined the league.

The only thing that will prevent them from winning the next 4-5 titles would be health or if the team broke up due to the salary cap.

Klay Thompson FA could be a thing. Draymonds too. At that point they will probably be in the repeater tax and may let one of those two walk

I look at the NBA as antithesis of todays NFL. You have always have one and maybe two dominant teams with the rest chasing them. Celtics/Lakers in the 80's. Bulls in the 90's. Lakers in the late 90's early 2000's. Its been most open from the Kobe/Shaq dynasty until GSW though

The Spurs won 5 champioships in that time and you totally glossed over them. The disrespect couldn't be any clearer.

Left out Hakeem and the Rockets too

Didnt gloss them over. Their championships were spread out as opposed to clustered up.

It more a testament to there longevity than disrespect. And they are a model my own favorite team is shooting for

Those teams owned the league for a period of time. It was them and everyone else. Rockets had a good run, but they won a title as a 6th seed

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Rockets only won those titles because Jordan went to play baseball. (or the long standing rumor/conspiracy theory is, Jordan was secretly suspended due to gambling by the NBA)

 

[JoeKing]

Left out Hakeem and the Rockets too

How about them Rockets? They better get busy. Getting beat at home is never good.

Says the guy who probably didn't even watch those teams that long ago. Houston matched up well with Chicago and Vernon Maxwell gave Jordan fits on defense. Jordan himself said Hakeem took over as best player on the planet at the time.

Houston still wins those titles with or without Jordan, they were dominant for that short championship run.

Harden will never win a ring, can't stand his game

I absolutely watched those games then, Bulls would have destroyed the Rockets. Jordan was just being nice.

You think it's a coincidence that right when Jordan leaves The Rockets suddenly win and that means they were going to win all along? Please. I kind of wonder if you watched Jordan back then.

Also, if Hakeem was the best player on the planet then why did the Bulls win 3 more rings when Jordan came back? Scoreboard.

I think the Rockets would have won anyway.
