2018 NBA Post-Season Thread

I bet a significant amount of money with a co-worker that the Cabs would not make the Finals this year, so I am not too pleased with this Laybaron Jams person

traded the nets pick for Kyrie

Nets pick = another young prospect for a growing team

we still have the Lakers/Kings pick
 
and kyrie is so much better than rozier dude come on

but can ky stay healthy

 

[bosoxlover12]

but can we talk about how crazy it'd be if they say the Knicks get the 10th pick
 
That'd mean either Boston gets the #2 or #3 pick in the draft, or that the Sixers would add a #1 overall pick to Embiid, Simmons, and Fultz

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Just bend over and call LeBron daddy, Toronto

 

[BNC]

Some of the LeBron jumpers are just stupid

 

[Mexi]

He has gone god mode

 

[Teagz]

I haven't enjoyed a LeBron performance this much in a while 

 

[Mexi]

Trade JV

Imo

If the Raptors get swept out again, they need a serious change at the coaching position. Casey's defense is nice. He deserves credit for allowing the FO to force through an offensive scheme change as opposed to getting fired over something as silly as how you run your offense. I've got a lot of respect for the guy as a person and as a coach considering these factors. That being said, even going down 0-2 in this series is unacceptable. In my opinion they've got to take it to 7 in order for him to keep his job. Also, LeBron James is the best player this league has ever seen

 

[Mexi]

Bo are you sure Kyrie is "so much" better than rozier

 

[Teagz]

Sixers actually pathetic wow

 

[Mexi]

Boston is good

Philly is getting both at home for sure

We'll see about game 5

 

[Teagz]

Brad Stevens is a top 5 entity in the league. Player or coach. He's gonna win titles, maybe sooner than we think.

 

[bosoxlover12]

• Jordan Crawford won a Player of the Week award under Stevens
• Isaiah Thomas averaged 30ppg last season under Stevens
 
Rozier has been balling since Kyrie went out, and I fucking told y'all about Terry, but come on now. He's not better than Irving and he never well.
 
For most of this season, the offense was literally just Kyrie and Horford, with sprinkles of Jaylen Brown every now and then. For most of this season, all you heard was how one-dimensional Boston's offense was. Since the injury to Kyrie, all of Rozier, Morris, Jaylen, and Tatum have become legitimate threats to put up 20ppg. Add this Celtics offense with Kyrie and Gordon Hayward too for next season, and our scoring efficiency will increase by everyone. Kyrie's numbers are going to be filthy next year

 

[Mexi]

Yeah the one who gets me is Marcus Morris

He was never this good in PHX or Houston or Detroit

Markieff was always clearly better. Not anymore

 

[Mexi]

Cavs are going to finals again
Why did any of us doubt

 

[Teagz]

Imagine if they swing a trade for Kawhi and only have to give up Hayward and picks. Kyrie-Juice-Kawhi-Tatum-Horford.
 
 
A legit threat to the Warriors.

 

[Teagz]

Wait Simmons only had 1 point? One singular point? In a playoff game? That he played 31 minutes in?

 

[Mexi]

I think brown and Hayward could work

And I think I might do that but I'd understand if they didn't want to

All I know is Tatum is going to be really good
