If KD sits out more games, they very well could go undefeated into the Finals. The Warriors are so much better without KD it's scary. All those missed layups and open looks Barnes tossed away in the Finals will not happen with KD. He's almost used as an insurance policy at this point :lol

Cleveland and GSW both gonna get a ton of rest all the way to the Finals.

By the time the Conference Finals commence, the opponent of the Warriors and Cavs gonna be dead tired.

Whoever wins the Raptors/Bucks series is going to come out with a ton of confidence. It seems like both teams have come from learning something about themselves. Raptors team gelling and the Bucks will play with nothing to lose.

Cleveland is going to take the series to at least 6. Conference finals won't be easy as well. Warriors on the other hand will have a ton of rest.

LeBron had to give everything he had against a team who very well could've taken the series to at least 6 if f they knew how to play with their heads on straight.

Against a better team, the series would still be going on. Cav's aren't going to have an easy road to the Finals this year. Defense is still a liability as well. Again, better teams will know how to exploit their defense inefficiencies. Cavs hide Love out on the weakest offensive player against the Pacers, and when Indiana had the match up to exploit, they never look advantage of it.

BBallBreakdown does a great job illustrating this point.

Just a few days ago we were clowning Boston and praising washington... o how **** changes
 
Only reason Boston will win this series is because Rondo is out.

Washington is just being Washington, but they'll find a way through to the next round. They're way better than the Hawks are
 
The problem with this Wizards team is that there is nothing coming from the bench and the rim protection porous at best. Not having Mahinmi is hurting big time. No reason for Dwight Howard to be eating like this other than the fact that Gortat and the rest of the bigs have been food. Last thing the Wizards need is for Dwight Howard to have a pulse going forward.

Every Hawks player who is driving to the hoop and sees Gortat/Morris standing there got this look:

Brooks HAS to make some adjustments going forward. I still expect the Wizards to win this series, but they're going to need more from everyone not named Beal or Wall.

Also, did Bobo forget how to basketball? Dude has been AWFUL. Can't help but to think how much better this team would be with Lou Williams on the roster.
 
It's way too early to start pulling cards. Going down 0-2 as a 1 seed in the first round is OBVIOUSLY going to have people criticize Boston.A 4/5 series being tied 2-2 with both teams wwinning on their own floor is also not crazy.
 
Scott Brooks gotta double Millsap or hack Dwight. Make some kind of adjustment defensively because they've been getting killed in the paint by everyone on the Hawks

Game 5 starts at 6:00 on a Wednesday in DC smh, what the hell is the reasoning for that NBA? There won't be more than 2000 people there at tipoff

Disappointed with the wizards for letting the bum *** hawks get back in it. CJ and dame played well in that 1st game thought they had a chance to at least win one when kd was out. Guess I was wrong.

It's really time to start Patty Mills man. Memphis is just helping off Parker when he doesn't have the ball. Tired of seeing it.
 

1. I miss the old raptors logo/uniforms
2. That buzzer beater against the magic was insane live.
3. That game against the pistons was nothing short of magical. 29 of your teams last 30? Talking about putting the team on your back bruh
 
 Portland's biggest problem (among many): Turner and especially Aminu were self checks. So they got none of the advantages of going small
 Damian Lillard had a team-high 34 points on 12-24 shooting. Rest of the starters shot 4-24.

RE: Wizards

1. Can't allow Jose Calderon to come into the game and there NOT be a drop-off in ATL's production. But Jennings on the defensive end was never his strong suit.

2. Markieff, who is soft now? You got COOKED (Again). Keep your mouth shut dude.

3. Good to see Dwight doing his thing. #HOF

4. Good to see Beal get back on track. Your shots will eventually fall if you are a shooter.

5. Nothing from Oubre, barely anything from Jason Smith. Boban woke up, finally.

Wiz, stop playing with these folks man
 
Atlanta does this with series all the time, win at home with no problem but definitely not stealing any road games...had them going 7 and losing of course since no home court advantage

What's going to hurt the Wizards is the 6pm tip on Wed. There's going to be no one at the VC until about 7:15-7:30. So much for home court for the first portion of the game... :{
 
Also, let's see if the free throw discrepancy evens out for games 5/6. I can't remember the exact number, but I think the Hawks have attempted close to 40 more FTs than the Wizards. :eek
