    some interesting Game 1s of the play offs proper

    Pacers pumping the Bucks
    As expected, fuck all separating the Clippers and the Nuggets
    Knicks and Pistons looks a close series as well, 1-1 as of a couple of hours ago
    Timberwolves blowing out the Lakers on the road
    Thunder getting 50 in front of the Grizzlies in the third, and then making a statement by staying there
    Celtics easily over the Magic, and Cavs the same over the Heat
    Butler and Curry taking care of the Rockets on the road.

    Be interesting to see which series involves a team making adjustments and competing now.

      @mariner4life some of those Curry 3s were Olympic Games esque. They’ll be pleased with the defensive effort keeping them to sub 90 points but they did ship a shed load of offensive boards.

        One was fucking ridiculous. Any other player gets roasted for a fundamentally awful option

        And Steph swishes it

          The one on Jalen Green on the right side of the court was crazy given Green had played it very well to not foul but be in his grill.

          There was one on the left side and Butler was on the bench and Butler’s reaction was priceless. Genuine shock that he had hit it.

            Adams the only Rocket with a positive +/- in that game. And it was genuine impact, they cut the lead from 20ish to 5ish while he was on the floor, Warriors couldn't keep him off the O boards and he ran some of the offence to good effect. Unsure why they benched him though he was likely gassed.

              He can’t play too many minutes these days plus the switching ultimately catches up to him. But he’s still top 2 in O boards.

              He’s there to give baby Joker a rest by and large.

                          I hate the lakers, but I will admit that this year I would have liked to have seen them make the second round or finals, just as a fuck you to Nico.

                          If they had got Williams I think they may have got there. It's a good question for LBJ, how much longer does he stick around for?

                            I think the bigger question for the Lakers (as a sports team not a business) is:

                            Is LBJs "it's amazing he's doing this at 40" numbers and performance justify a Supermax? One of the very greatest of all time, who can still stuff a stat sheet, but you need more from a guy getting paid that in order to be successful. His 4th quarters were not good. His defense is not good (and yet not the worst on his team aye Luka?). Still genuinely good, and quite frankly that's incredible at his age. But that age caveat doesn't equal wins in an incredibly balance league these days.

                            I think he goes again, and why wouldn't he if he still feels good. But they are going to be limited in the moves they can make, and it will take some incredibly good deals to turn this team in to a genuine title contender given the money tied up in two players, and the deficiencies they both have.

                              The hater in me says he'll announce his last season in advance so he gets the full retirement tour.

                              Which quite frankly he deserves.

                                        Was nice to see Stevie hit his free throws when the Warriors went to hack-a-kiwi.

                                        Today’s game 7 was a real fizzer. Harden went into his shell. Hope tomorrow’s is better.
