Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Brad Stevens is a sorcerer. I don't have any other explanation.
Oh, it also helps that the Bucks don't have a competent head coach. Their roster is incredibly talented, but they're running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Is it that hard to figure out? First line is hyperbolic (SURPRISE! He's not an actual sorcerer), but he's why the Celtics defense is so good. The second is why the Celtics offense is over performing.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
I guess Sixers might just make the finals this year. Raptors offense is much better than last two years but not sure they can reach the defensive intensity that was necessary in their ECF run

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Philly looks great, but I still don't see them having the endurance necessary to make the finals. As bad as they have looked so far, the Cavs are still the only team that makes sense.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Philly's got a shot because everyone in the East looks atrocious.
The East usually isn't very good, but I feel like for the first maybe ever that anyone 1-8 in the West could beat whoever comes out of the East in the Finals, with the exception being the Spurs.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Bravo Thunder for continuing to disappoint
My secondary support goes to James Harden Serge Ibaka
So bring a Toronto Houston Final so at least one of them wins.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Last night should've clinched it for the Celtics. If Jaylen doesn't try to drive in the last 40 seconds of Game 4, or if a foul was actually called on that play (which the NBA later admitted they missed), the Celtics probably win that game. Oh well, just have to get Game 6 on the road I guess.
Having Smart back also gave the team a nice needed boost.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Donovan Mitchell is basically young D Wade
Glad to be done with the Wizards, if VanVleet played it would've been a 5 game series. Not bad. Now hopefully Celtics and Cavs lose

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Probably biggest Raptors choke I've seen considering the defense on Lebron was great. There's a difference between just blowing a game and visibly looking like your style of play changed because of pressure, and that was the latter. The amount of wide open shots and bunnies missed in last 5 minutes kills me. On to Game 2

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Tristan and Khloe break up. Two weeks later he is a good basketball player again. Hmmmm
Hopefully Kevin Love will come back sometime in these playoffs.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Classic Raptors.
Can someone please step up and not let him get to the Finals. Please!

Sorry Shack. That was brutal. The Raptors played an almost perfect first half and still lost by 20.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
The media will trash on the Raptors for being chokers but they are as much overperformers in the regular season. Their starting lineup is 2 non All NBA guards as their stars (Lowry and Derozan), a rookie role player (Anunoby), a mediocre big man at this point in his career (Ibaka) and a non defending post big man which is being phased out in the NBA (Valanciunas). That's not winning the title. We just try harder than the Cavs in the regular season.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Just have to win one in Philly. If they do I think the Celtics have it in 5. If not, it's probably going 7 again.
And how much real estate does Lebron own in the mindset of the Raptors organization? The Cavs are not that good, but I don't see how they don't sweep the Raptors now. I'm also getting way too ahead of myself, but somehow, if it ends up Celtics/Cavs, the Celtics have a better chance against them this year then they did last year. That's insane considering what's happened. I don't think anyone should still be underestimating the Celtics against anyone in the East at this point. Still a long way to go though.
Too early to call Jayson Tatum a superstar? Is it possible to sign Brad Stevens to a lifetime contract?

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
The Raptors went down 0-2. I'm not even a Toronto fan and that's depressing. Can someone beat Lebron. Please!

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Not mad. Series was already over and at least they made 4th quarter close and forced Lebron into a memorable game winner.

Re: NBA Thread - 2018 Playoffs!!
Yeah the Raptors fighting back with DeRozan on the bench was actually really impressive. I could see them winning game 4 and maybe even 5 now. Though obviously I'd prefer some more rest for Bron.
