NBA Playoffs Thread

I know a lot of people in Seattle don’t care about the NBA, but playoffs are always great. Just between the play in games and this first game, these games have been more exciting than the entire NFL playoffs from this last season.

Feels pretty wide open this season. I wouldn’t be upset with a Lakers and Nets finals.

I don't want Comrade James anywhere near a championship. I think the Nets are the most exciting Eastern team. While the Jazz and Suns would be fun to watch, it would be neat to see Kawhi lead the Clippers to a championship like he did the Raptors.

I wanna see the Knocks win it all. They bashed the hiring of thibs. I don’t really follow the NBA anymore. But always root for teams pundits think shouldn’t be there.

I take sadistic pleasure in seeing disappointed Spike Lee every season. Plus, the Knickerbockers are one of the NY teams that consistently suck (along with the Jets), while the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Islanders, Red Bullshitters, other soccer team, and the Nets are generally pretty good.

I can’t see anyone beating the Nets. That team is so talented, they’re a bit vulnerable upfront. The west will be interesting, I think you can make a case for three or four teams to come out the west.

The Nets looked like they could have scored 170 against the Celtics last game. They were shooting almost 60% from the 3pt line.

That 30-point smackdown of the Lakers by the Suns was nice.

Bucks vs Hawks. Both of the best players are out with injuries, so that will be fun.

Giannis looks like pre-2000 Shaq. If his teammates can keep hitting shots when they double him, I don't know how Pheonix can stop them.

Also, the broadcast sort of hyped Booker as Kobe 2.0. They need to pump the breaks on that comparison. He's more like a shifty Klay Thompson than Kobe.
