2014 NBA Playoffs Thread

Perhaps I'm impatient, but I have no tolerance for this level of underachievement. Houston has the better team, and should win this series. Losing it, which they almost undoubtedly will, now, is nothing short of a monumental collapse. We're the fucking Mets.
 
Pathetic. There's no excuses. Houston is currently as pathetic as Bulls fans think their team is. The only difference is that Houston actually has the pieces to contend and isn't finally coming apart due to a lack of necessary pieces, like Chicago is.

The two best players in the series play for Portland and they have the better supporting cast.

I told Mexi and you Houston's play wouldn't win in the playoffs

 

[Mexi]

Didn't I get shit on for saying the blazers would upset Houston?
Bitches

"upset"

They have the same record

 

[Mexi]

So phil said he hopes melo is true to his word and takes less money

If hes going to take less money, honestly why wouldnt he just go to chicago or houston?

I still believe Charlotte is better for Melo than Houston

Hibbert has stone hands.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Huge blunder from Memphis, lacking the matching shirts...

Crowd looks poor too.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Charlotte has the better coaches and the better perimeter defense. AlJeff are great #2 & #3 options

 

[BwareDWare94]

There is something wrong, physically, with Roy Hibbert. Dude has no energy, whatsoever. He's struggling just to go from one end of the floor the other.
 
He's not as good as people think he is, at times, but he's not this bad. There's a hidden injury we don't know about, or something along those lines.

Yeah, but even you didn't think it'd bite them in the first round.
 
And you know what, I'm with you on Aldridge and Lillard being better than Howard/Harden. Without question.

hes also always had stamina issues but im with you.

Perkins just got away with sitting on Mike Miller. The fuck?

To be fair I didn't know the matchups. I thought Houston could probably beat a team like Golden State but not Portland

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't know about better, but Lillard and Aldridge are certainly playing harder. I've been watching the first two games to see what Houston could do to get closer in the series, and a common theme is Harden and Howard just aren't playing very hard, or very fundamentally. I mean Harden is on a whole other level obviously, the effort he is putting out is laughable, and that's on McHale. Dwight is closer to just not being very fundamentally sound.

 

[Mexi]

Shout out to stunna

 

[tyfreak]

Crazy shot by Teague

 

[BwareDWare94]

As far as Aldridge versus Howard, while LMA disappears now and then, he's better suited to big games because you know he's going to drop 20, at least. As far as Lillard is concerned, he at least plays defense.
 
Now, it just showed Jeff Teague's foot very obviously out of bounds on that prayer of a 3. How do they miss that? Come the fuck on.
 
Indiana is playing selfishly and deserves to lose, but all Atlanta winning this series would do is give someone a round 2 punching bag. At least Indiana has the ability to actually compete if they come around.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Why can you review some things, but not others? Such stupid rules. If you review the play, you need to have the ability to take it away if there's any obvious reason it shouldn't count.
