2016 NBA Playoffs Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 222

So now I need OKC to win on Thursday. I'm seeing the Hotelier on Saturday and I don't want to miss gsme six if it happens.

 

So what would be more shocking: OKC losing this series or Cleveland losing theirs

 

Cleveland losing

 

I'm glad this series pretty much solidifies Durant staying in Oklahoma. I hope him and Westbrook spend their whole career together.
I'm pretty ecstatic. I wasn't certain OKC would have done it again.

 

Definitely. They're defending like mad in these last two series and it's paying off. Such a well drilled team in these play offs. Its just kind of a let down how cold Curry has been and how off Draymond is. Been a limp match up most of this WCF.

 

I'd say OKC losing, dropping three in a row after these past few games would be the stuff of legends.

 

Going into the series it definitely would've been Cleveland losing. However based on the series so far I'd be much more surprised if OKC loses this series

 

My god OKC vs. Toronto would be anti-climatic. No offense to the Raptors, they're a proper team and all but it would probably be a sweep.

 

I love the woo at the end.

 

That's what most said about the Cleveland/Toronto series...

 

I'm hoping for a Biyombo/Adams matchup.

 

The Warriors are still a great team - the Raptors are not

 

i hate to look ahead, but this is what the Thunder would have gone through if they reach and win the Finals:

round 1: Nowitzki (future HoF) / Dallas
round 2: Duncan (future HoF) / a great San Antonio team
round 3: Curry (is it too early to call him a future HoF?) / Golden State (the greatest regular season team of all time)
Finals: James (future HoF) / Cleveland

That's gotta be one of the, if not the, greatest playoff foe runs from start to finish in NBA history. Has any other team played four straight series against future Hall of Famers? That's crazy to think about.

 

Draymond must have kicked everyone on his own team in the nuts during warmups. They were all lifeless.

 

No.

He's the best shooter ever, he's an NBA champion, and he just won back-to-back MVPs.

 

Eh, that's a bit silly since OKC have faced Spurs and GS where as the Cavs have faced Atlanta and Detroit which are lightweights in comparison. Toronto are definitely a cut above the likes of the Pistons.

 

Man I wanna be the courtside fan that Russ high-fived sooo bad

 

Off the top of my head, Miami in '12. Requires a little speculation, but if I'm remembering the order correctly they had Carmelo, George, Pierce/KG, Durant/Westbrook.

Edit: And hearing Lakers fans talk up their chances of landing Westbrook, you'd have to add Hibbert in there also.

 

Fuck lol

 

I thought it was his brother at first, was it?

 

Cold. Just cold.

Cam probably still sees Von Miller in his nightmares.
