NBA playoffs— anyone else watching?

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I have been super into pretty much every playoff series. Some really wild games, especially over the last few days. Figured I would start a thread, in case others want to shoot the bull.

 

i was hoping for a Cavs/OKC final, but Cavs are in a tough spot. 

[US Egg]

This season officially soured me for a variety of reasons. But now it is real b-ball and LeBron is gone.

 

Anybody but the Warriors. OKC be my pick, but if the One Man Gang stops them then he’s my choice.

I have been keeping track since I am a Knicks fan, though I doubt they move on to the next round

[BillsPride12]

I haven't watched any of the NBA playoffs this year as I have mostly been focused on the NHL playoffs but I keep hearing there have been some really good games and series this year so I am going to try to start catching some of the games.

Not really

 

But that Cavs ending last night was crazy

Pacers all the way.  Eff Cleveland...

 

Nice to see a new team win what is obviously a flawed League.

Amen to LeBron being out. 
 

I actually wouldn’t mind really any team at this point, except the Celtics. That warriors team is so different now— just a bunch of grinders mostly.

That was an epic collapse by Cleveland last night. Not just blowing a 7 point lead late but the way they did it, giving up two offensive rebounds off missed free throws and two turnovers, was really extraordinary.

We're NOT alone in this sports hell!

Vintage Pacers Reggie Miller type ending vs the Knicks for Halliburton to get the RB and take a step back 3

[DrDawkinstein]

Couldnt get into the regular season games, but the playoffs have been great so far.

 

Haliburton trying to silence the haters. 

 

Ant MIA last night. Will he show up in game 2, or will the veteran experience of the Warriors shut him down?

Enjoy watching the Warriors play defensive basketball and their offensive passing game as I dislike the isolation game. Kerr is a great coach, too. But it’s going to be difficult for them with Steph out at least a week.

I LOVED the NBA back when we had the Braves. I was pissed when they left, but watched thru the Jordan years. When our kids were playing AAU and we were traveling we’d bribe them, good behavior with our friends and we go to the NBA game tonight. About 3 minutes in one night on a Tuesday in Charlotte my scrappy AAU PG turns to me and says “they’re not even trying.” 

 

Maybe now that college hoops has gone to hell in a hand basket I’ll give it another try, but I doubt it. If they don’t care enough to try, why should I care at all? I don’t know who they are, gut at least they try in college.  The NBA is more like a play at the theater than a sport far too often. 

 

I think I just gave up my “other team”. It was always Bills first, followed by my college hoops team. Now, with coaches and players moving every year for the best deal they can get, I can do without it. My college hoops board is now only for miscellaneous topics. (I’m sure they are glad to hear that.) 

 

My apologies, and I thank you sincerely. That probably would have run me about $200 with a therapist.

Wish they made Air Jordan slip ons.

Holy crap, another comeback from the Knicks!

The Knicks/Pacers Eastern Final would definitely interest me even though Im not a fan of either team.

That Cleveland loss last night reminded me so much of that Cowboys game in 2007.

that was insane. 
 

Clutch play by the Knicks, but the celtics

are really going to keep chucking up outside shots when nothing is falling?

I’ve seen womens, a croc looking Nike golf shoe and a couple knock off looking ones on sites I wouldn’t trust. But never at D!cks or any sneaker selling stores or on Nikes site. Maybe I’m not seeing them, but I’ve looked.

Yea if you didn't see them at Dick's or foot locker I probably wouldn't trust it from a knock off site 

 

I swear I feel like they exist
