2018 NBA Playoffs Thread

Another Conference finals where he didn't play up to his standards, was an inefficient chucker who turned the ball over at a rapid pace & played horrible defense. Seems like the same Criticisms to me.

Lol the goalpost moving.

Until Russ can crack 50 games as a number one and make it past 5 games in the first round then maybe this is a discussion. At the end of the day, you drop Russ on a team as a #1 and he's proven to get you nothing but triple doubles and first round exits. The ***** was given ANOTHER all nba player and still couldn't do it

James is getting you to conference finals and 55+ wins.

Which one you taking? Which one is better to you? Go ahead and say Russ, yeah I know

 

[second2nonee]

Why are we counting their regular season record?

People did the same thing for Iggy's injury

don't be so daft. people said it wouldn't work

 

[freeze]

dudes crying about cp3 not playing and how the warriors got lucky like if iggy aint get hurt they wouldnt have deaded the Rockettes in 5.

 

[IATT]

Going be interesting to see what the rockets end up giving chris paul

Also gotta resign Ariza and capela is a restricted FA

Not to add fuel to the fire, but harden certainly didnt look like the number 1 in the second half of games in the playoffs this year. Seemed like CP3 did a lot of the heavy lifting in crunch time.

like clockwork

iggy's injury and impact is closer to Luc (who we didn't have either) than CP3's. i mean Luc basically does the same thing for us that Iggy does for them and was one of the best net rating players in our top lineups.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

For both series going 7 they really weren't that good. Lot of blowouts and bad basketball being showcased. Wasn't as entertaining as 7 game series sounds

That's what teammates are for, no?

That's the point of teammates.

Chris Paul is kinda a little more important to the success of the rockets than igoudala is to the warriors

It's a toss up honestly. One will shoot me out of games & turn it over trying to attack... The other will Dribble the air out the rock & try to win games relying on three point fouls. birds of the same feather, Also let's not act like CP3 Isn't a better second option then PG & as if he wasn't the better player this entire series

You've been taking this one pretty hard bro bro

Regular season doesn't mean **** is what I'm getting at. It's why even when rocket fans were spouting off all these stats they still couldn't bring themselves to say they could beat the warriors because they knew none of those stats meant anything, just wanted to bask in some regular season glory

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

Rockets were 7-44 from 3 and missed 27 in a row


They got open looks and just choked

How many picks does it take to get rid of Ryan Anderson? Asking for a friend

 

[MVP]

KD calling out Harden lol

 

[Lizakers]

KD said Harden dribbles so much each possession we knew he’d get tired

Haha the guy who can't crack 50 wins with another all nba talent and the guy who was the best player on multiple 55+ wins..a toss up? Aight man you got it.

And CP > PG but they're both all NBA talents who played 2nd fiddle this past season to their other All NBA counterpart.

nah man I ain't even really that mad anymore. proud of the guys for fighting, think they proved a lot. i'm just more gutted for cp3 honestly. it's whatever tho, we gon' have some detractors and haters regardless and i'ma still be riding with the squad.

Ryan Anderson was so buns out there on defense.

Well you kind of implied that James got them to the conference finals. Just saying that is shorting the hell out of what CP3 did this year. Half those games I couldn't tell who the best player on that team was.

But either way, Harden > westbrook

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Rockets window officially shut by the way. Grand opening grand closing. They won't make it out of round 2 next season

 

[hand2handking]

ariza comin back?

spurs
them dudes may be old, but they can defend and are way more disciplined. you dont see lazy *** turnovers. they arent beating the dubs, but a healthy kawhi vaults them to #2 in my opinion

Luc was hurt as well and he has had a pretty sizeable impact.
