Decale: You are trying too hard. This argument can go either ways. If the Rockets are better offensively then OKC are better defensively. So they could have done more to make their team at least 4th or 5th like the Jazz. Nene and Capella are better than Adams and Kanter? Ariza and Anderson will defend who? Oladipo is far better than Gordon. It is not even close. I could go on and on. |

People don't mention IT's name cos it's the East. Lebron had a better season than IT and he's not in the mentions Left to me, I want Kawhi to win it. But it's unlikely cos Pop like downplaying him. That guy would be evil in another coach's hand |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:21pm On Apr 11, 2017 |
SmooshCHN1:Honestly I don't get this drift . You guys just stopped short of saying the Cavs flunked their last two games to probably fix the first round. No sir! They were beaten fair and flat. If they wanted to avoid Heat, all they needed to do was simply win and Heat get knocked off the playoff race. See? |

Eruditor: You try! The last time I checked, the title of the thread still remains 'The NBA begins' which means there is no crime in expressing one's view as a fan. So, why not respect others' opinions rather than turn yourself to a joke in the course of getting people on your side. 2 Likes |

Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 4:00am On Apr 12, 2017 |
this is the team they would've us believe can't play without WB. I just watch that dipo buzzerbeater finish. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:15am On Apr 12, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:My brother, is it not the Oladipo of Magics? Westbrook owes his teammates plenty of thanks cos they honestly aren't scrubs.. They put their trust in him knowing he's worth MVP and letting him have his moment. Many won't see it that way.. Or is it not the Steven Adams of last year's playoffs still playing? Whoever is given the MVP us worth it to be honest.. They both deserve it. I like the fact Harden also wants the award |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:34am On Apr 12, 2017 |
Eruditor:Hehehehe yessir! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:39am On Apr 12, 2017 |
SmooshCHN1:True that. Now that Westbrook has gotten all the records he desired, I hope he brings his teammates more into the game during the playoffs. The playoffs is another kettle of fish though, discipline is key, shots have to be made with better precision and the supporting cast have to show that they can be trusted at the big stage. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 7:40am On Apr 12, 2017 |
SmooshCHN1:some are deserving than others,that co-MVP talk no join. harden don dey on the two sides of this argument and don lose two times(probably)and forget whatever story them talk,the MVP race changed after he equal Oscar's record. it has been awhile since the favorite to win MVP may not even make the conference finals or get out of the 1st round. |

This is the best time of the year to be a Warrior and for those sitting on the fence all season long to jump sides like KD. It's all good, Enjoy it while it lasts Gs. 1 Like |

sapiosexual1:All season you basically balled for yourself you had 82 games Now it's playoffs Westbrook and Oladipo hasn't even clicked to their full potential, OKC hasn't found any other way asides Westbrook and he doesn't seem to have a plan.. Since he's been very clutch, I hope he get more chances like that this playoffs maybe he can get to plau GSW in conference finals just to be schooled by his Father KD 1 Like 1 Share |

SmooshCHN1: If they don't get swept by Harden and his Rockets. To start with, RWs heroics will be harder in the P/Os. They can not leave him to be racking 16 rebounds while 7ft Adams will have only 4. Teams will crush them on the boards and still slow them down. He would not have access to 30 shots per game and if he does, his team's chance of losing will double. Now add the fury that Harden will be housing knowing that RW will pip him to the MVP title. He would want to use the first round to make a statement (even if it won't factor in the MVP vote). Both stars will get less FTs (they average 10 per game) and the tide will favor the more intelligent and better shooting player. I think Harden just about edges it. My prediction? 4-1 Rockets win. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 12:40pm On Apr 12, 2017 |
Checked the stats for OKC after the Wolves game and I am seeing a handful of players with 8+ rebounds. And there I was thinking nobody could rebound the ball enough as RW was so aggresive and passionate. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:11pm On Apr 12, 2017 |
Eruditor:Westbrook is a very impulsive fellow by nature so his teammates with love let's his do those things same with Harden.. I'm just skeptical OKC aren't strong as a team. We'll see during the playoffs tho. If I was a Center, you'll do your job I do mine, I no come sell beans for here. Before guys start saying I no sabi as to why my PG dey lead for rebounds. Well, except you beg me you want to take MVP and I'm not interested |

Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 11:19pm On Apr 12, 2017 |
With the way teams are lined up this night, it's safe to say: Celtics are getting the 1st seed Pacers and Bulls will clinch the last 2 spots Heat is out Eastern Playoffs: Bulls vs Celtics Pacers vs Cavs Bucks vs Raptors Hawks vs Wizards We already know how West is lined up but there's a battle for home court between Jazz and Clippers. I see the Clippers taking that one Jazz vs Clippers April 15th Baby |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:20pm On Apr 12, 2017 |

Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 3:27am On Apr 13, 2017 |
A40: Well. Until then |
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 3:34am On Apr 13, 2017 |
6 Blocks and 10 Rebs for the new guy. Finally the Cavs have a perfect rim protector and will be a big help in playoffs if his defense is consistent. |
