2015 NBA Playoffs Thread: The Zebras are Loose

[bosoxlover12]

the east will always be the east
We need reseeding of playoffs

Ill give them credit obviously tho

no they don't

The east was the dominant conference in the 90s. It will even itself out eventually

 

[elcheato]

Still funny that the West got the top two picks too 

 

[bosoxlover12]

The east got it last year

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And the year before

 

[elcheato]

That's not this year 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

True and it's even more scary because the wolves were already sleeper playoff contenders

 

[Hurricane Season]

How the fuck did Teague blow that layup towards the end?

 

[Hurricane Season]

The league also needs to do something about Delly.  He needs some sort of suspension for all the cunty shit this asshole has done all postseason. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

It's gonna be hard to explain how the Cavs beat the Warriors tho.  Cavs will win in six or better, and nobody will be able to explain it.

 

[BwareDWare94]

They aren't going to beat the Warriors. Relax lol.

Unless the Warriors are going to pull some OKC shit and look completely overwhelmed after trouncing LeBron in game 1...

So exactly what jake said... Cavs will win and nobody could explain how

 

[buzzy]

LeBron is explanation enough.

Also, just for the sake of discussion -- I don't think the Cavs need Kevin Love to win the series


Having Thompson out there is a significant defensive boost, and while he doesn't stretch the court like Love does, he is just as good of a rebounder, and holds his own offensively.


They just need Kyrie, badly. No way Delly can guard Steph

They absolutely need Love. We can't match their scoring output without him. Thompson would still play and did play significant minutes with Love out there. They've been playing Thompson at center a lot, which they can still do with Love. 
 
Kyrie can't guard Steph either. 
 
The only hope is that Delly just irritates the shit out of Steph, or that Shumpert's length bothers Steph. But I'm not sure you can take Shumpert off Klay, because Klay can just pull up over Delly or Kyrie. Regardless, it does't really matter, he's going to go off, but having Kyrie out there to defend him would only make it worse. They're going to have to try to hide Kyrie on Barnes or Draymond and hope they don't go off.

Reminds me a couple years ago when the spurs put Parker on Barnes and they basically just let him get 20+ a game in order to try and shut down the splash brothers.

And Barnes then had a huge series and everyone claimed it was his coming out party and now here we are

 

[elcheato]

I mean, I was saying the same thing at the time. Anytime Barnes took a shot it was a win for the Spurs, even when he was hitting. 

 

[Pugz]

delly is gonna need to channel his dirty tactics to lock steph up. maybe a figure four around the ring post.

I don't think Love is going back anyway, but if we are talking smart basketball, with the way he was being used why even bring him back?
