NBA Playoffs: Round One Game Thread

[riboflav]

For a guy with ten minute YouTube dunk video from high school Plummer goes for the soft finger roll a lot

 
Looked like he considered the reverse dunk but changed his mind.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The Captain.... and The Truth.... the incomparable Mr. PAUL PIERCE!

 

[riboflav]

PJ pulls out the old-man cringey comment

 

[reggiecleveland]

Vasquez is so bad on d

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

 

[reggiecleveland]

It is over in Brooklyn. Raps can't score.

 

[riboflav]

24-39 in FGs for Joe Johnson in this series

 

[riboflav]

If this were the 1980s LeBron, you'd be hit so hard you wouldn't be able to get up swinging

[reggiecleveland]

I would like to see him post up guys 60lbs lighter than he is and not shoot a fade before he acts like a tough guy

 

[reggiecleveland]

How badly must Vasquez play to get pulled?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Sphincters tightening in Toronto.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Suck it Greivis

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

I can't believe it but Pierce is at best the 4th best player on his team.

 

[reggiecleveland]

What a shit call

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Greivis had a grievance, apparently.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Lowry just pushed out Amir Johnson from the FT rebou8nding lane. WTF?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

I miss the days when Deron Williams was good.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Lowry fouled him ten times. Looks like the point from the tech may decide this

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Oh my God, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all, it's a sabotage

 

 

[reggiecleveland]

Hit some free throws for fuck sakes

 

[DannyDarwinism]

Uh, PJ?  Everyone but you sees Landry touch the ball last.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The incomparable Paul Pierce ices it at the line.  God bless that magnificent bastard.

 

[riboflav]

I can't believe it but Pierce is at best the 4th best player on his team.

 
After plaguing the NCAA tourney threads, you still don't know anything about basketball.

 

[luckiestman]

Noah looks absolutely terrified when he is wide open. dude needs to start jacking up some shots

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Drew Baden Baden is killing the Bullets

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Let's go Bullets, make make, miss, RB, 3PTer

 

[luckiestman]

The ending of that game was harrible all around

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

 
After plaguing the NCAA tourney threads, you still don't know anything about basketball.

Don't you have a hit-and-run to report?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Who are the three or four better Nets than Pierce?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Johnson, Williams, Blatche, when healthy Lopez

 

[NWsoxophile]

Lillard is having himself a night.

 

[mandro ramtinez]

Does Andray Blatche have a brother who plays on the Nets that we don't know about? Because that is some kind of mess saying Blatche is better than The Truth, regardless of whether PP is heading towards the end.

 

[riboflav]

Johnson, Williams, Blatche, when healthy Lopez

 
Once a troll, always a troll. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Rockets v Blazers is a fucking beast of a series and its lopsided.  I still don't buy Portland as a true contender but man are they fun to root for.  

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Holy shit.  Aldridge.  Holy shit.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Holy fucking shit.  Lilliard.  Holy fucking shit!

 

[luckiestman]

LILLARD IS THE WORD

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Rockets cannot defend the Blazers.  They are too quick, too long and too fast.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Lillard will win an MVP at some point. His composure for a second year player is unbelievable.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

And love him or hate him, this is where Harden is fantastic.   He makes very good defenders look bad by making them beat themselves.   Right back to the line.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Evidently you're not allowed to defend Harden.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What a great series this has been.  Amazing.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Houston is fighting for their lives, and Portland is not resting on the laurels of their 2-0 series lead. Great ball.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Parsons lipping off before game 2 seems to really have motivated Batum. Nic has thoroughly outplayed him.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Terrible call. Lillard got all ball and knocked it off Howard.

 

[NWsoxophile]

And....Mr.Nobody hits the shot of the game.

 

[Tony C]

Game. Wow...great rebound tip by Beverly.
 
Great game. So many of them....

 

[NWsoxophile]

In the 2014 NBA playoffs home court means nothing.

 

[Sprowl]

Damian Lillard completes a ridonculous double-clutch hook shot while falling down and being fouled to bring the Blazers within 2.
