2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Post-Joey Crawford Edition

[Iceman]

After seeing what the Thunder can do when they are working on all cylinders, I would love to see them play the Cavs in the finals.  It's Thunders now or never time.  Not sure the Raptors can win 2 of the next 3, but never know at this point.  A Thunder/Cavs final will be one I would really look forward too.

a thunder/raptors final would be good to see for the basketball fans eyes. the general public and probably the nba would hate it. ratings would suck too

Nobody outside of Canada or Lebron-haters wants to see the Raptors in the Finals
 
 
CLE//GS or CLE//OKC will have the viewership. TOR will not.

Also -- is 27 the age for success in the NBA?
 
Jordan, Lebron, and Curry all won their first titles at age 27. Bird, Magic, Shaq, Bill Russell notably all won titles at age 27
 
Any guesses to how old Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are?

 

[elcheato]

Kevin Love is 27

So only Cavs fans

You can get the Raptors at 25/1 odds to win the title right now. That's really good, to the point where I'm considering throwing some money down there. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

I might just bet $4 lol

 

[Mexi]

Not worth it

 

[buzzy]

I even got 29/1. 
 
They're only one injury to Lebron and Durant away.

Hope JV can get involved some more tonight. Need to take full advantage of Thompson not playing well and Love being hurt

 

[BNC]

 
They're "the deepest team in the league" according to many analysts ... Kerr said that Curry isn't playing hurt. He's just flat out getting dominated. It was clear last night what OKC's strategy was -- keep a body on him at all times and don't allow him to move around like he usually does. Being physical and attached at his hip doesn't allow him to roam and get open shots.

Just because Kerr says he's healthy doesn't mean it's true. But it's just like the Warrirors last year, you can only play who's in front of you and credit to the Thunder for crushing them twice now

I threw some money down on the Thunder at 7/2 on Monday. I checked today and they're 8/5, I'm pretty pleased with myself

Lol at anyone who thought this was a series

[Delirium]

The Raptors are a bunch of bitches. Can't do shit on the road. Do they just go in the locker room and cry because the opponent's fans are too loud?

Going on those stationary bikes after being subbed out seems to defeat the purpose of resting, if you ask me.
