2018 NBA Post-Season Thread

Only win was an OT victory against Philly in Game 3 #confettigame
 
yet at the same time, we still havent lost at home. dont count us out for this series, since we still have home court
 
 
that said, we lose game 5 and we're done.

I agree with all of that. I was simply saying they're awful on the road. They're worse on the road than they are good at home. But they had that home court advantage every time. And they said Kyrie didn't impact the playoffs!

Korver never misses.

It might take the talent at the top and spread it around a little more, but it wouldn't make the quality of the league any better. Instead of a few really good teams and nothing else but trash, those good teams would be less good and the rest of the league would be even more trash.

If the cap didn't jump I doubt we have the problems we have now, I imagine it'll be sorted out in 2 years or so once the Warriors reign is over

You like your chances with this young squad against LeBron in game 7?

The interesting thing is that Boston had the 3rd most road wins in the regular season, and was one of two teams with more road wins than home wins (Phoenix and their 10 home wins being the other lmao)
 
its a completely different team without kyrie tho. people forget that most of this season, kyrie was the only offensive threat and he carried the team for a ton of these wins. the young guys feed off the energy at the garden and play well, but they really dont when on the road
 
its why everyone who says boston should trade kyrie (mexi) is dumb as fuck. he might be the best player boston's had since '06 Pierce

The same squad that beat him in Game 1 and Game 2? Yes.
 
This same "Boston is done" shit was said during Games 3 and 4 in Milwaukee too. "Can't stop Giannis", "can't stop Middleton"... still won that series
 
Until Boston loses a game at home, I have confidence we can win every game there.

 

[BNC]

This game is taking forever, it should be halftime by now. Refs gotta let them play a bit more

KG was third in MVP voting in 2008

Milwaukee doesn't have LeBron and game 1 intensity is quite a bit different from game 7. It'll be close but I'm not betting against Bron in that situation 

 

[bosoxlover12]

I know what I said.
 
 
KG also had a greater impact than Kyrie because he was the DPOY, but when the game was on the line it wasn't KG getting the offensive looks, it was Pierce. When the game was close, it was Kyrie time.

Yeah they dont have Lebron, they just had Giannis who averaged 26/10/6 in the series
 
you dont have to bet against lebron. but im taking my guys if they win game 5 to win game 7

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm torn. I love betting against LeBron in pressure situations, but I also love betting on LeBron against the Eastern Conference. 
 
I'll take the Cabs

Yea the guy has no history of performing in pressure situations like game 7 lmao

Kyrie won them that game

 

[Mexi]

I don't think it's been said enough just how bad Boston has been on the road in the playoffs

it bothers me that they won game 3 in Philly

 

[Mexi]

Kyrie won them that game

Kyrie hit that 3

Let's just ignore everything else

 

[bosoxlover12]

I'm sorry... but what.

 

[Mexi]

Lebron went 27/11/11 and had one of the greatest blocks of all time

But Kyrie won them that game

 

[bosoxlover12]

I don't care about the argument you're trying to make for a game in 2016....
 
 
I just honestly cannot fathom how they made a whole big rule on how you have to allow shooters to land, yet they call a 4pt play an offensive foul because Morris shoots outwards always. Love runs into Morris, knocks him down, and they take away the 3? I just honestly dont get it

 

[BNC]

Kyrie won them that game

lmao ok.
 
Also not the only game 7 or high pressure situation he's played in. Game 6 ring a bell?
