Other Sports ****OFFICIAL NBA Playoffs Thread**** - Page 185

Have been banned from the other thread by an apparently sensitive snowflake (ironically after dozens of pages of political discussion from others) so I'll stick my thoughts on the NBA Playoffs here from now on. We needed a new thread anyway.

And I see it's for the fabled Kuzma, KCP, and a 2nd with some other fluff thrown in as well.

Ah ok. That’s cool. But bad for the college game.

Woh Barnes over Suggs by TOR.

:-) Westbrook is the highest paid Laker now.

He also bitched about his reduced role with Harden two seasons ago. His year with the Rockets was his highest usage rate since his MVP.

I just don’t get the Westbrook thing. Lebron had to sign off in that right? He’s still running things?

Why the holy fuck would he think that’s a good idea.

Wonder if GS going to trade their 2 picks but if not they got 2 really good players

Can they afford Demar still?

Hated the Barnes pick (over Suggs). Hope the Raptors know better than I do, but somehow I doubt they do.

Can't imagine they could, but don't know.

Westbrook and Lebron and AD?!?!

I’m curious to know though how this is going to pan out? That is a serious triple headed monster. If Westbrook doesn’t win in LA, I doubt he ever will.

He seems like a bit of cancer can he mess up that locker room? Those are some big heads in that locker room. Maybe Lebron will snap at him if he doesn’t behave himself or keep his ego in check.

Good pick by OKC at #18 with Tre Mann. Good value. Short arms but can create, great shooter and craft as fuck.

Definitely one of the luckiest shots I've ever seen. I mean I wasn't rooting for anyone there. It's just...that shot was way off. I guess it's not much different than a lucky buzzer beater off the glass that happens from time to time (cough cough GONZAGA cough)

Oh for sure. My favourite lucky shot of all time though. Nobody cares how they go down as long as they do.

I actually got a great angle of the ball dropping on my phone from my seats on the opposite end of the court. I'll have to post that sometime.

I was sure hoping Orlando could get Suggs or Green. Thanks Toronto! Not that Barnes is bad, but Orlando needs someone who can get buckets for himself and others. And they got Franz Wagner who I guess was a good pick considering they're pretty full of guards now.
