NBA Playoffs are here!

[CarolinaSock]

I don't understand how the NBA can justify a 22-3 free throw advantage, when the points in the paint are basically even. I can't watch games when officiating is so one sided.

Praise Jebus that the sorry Grizzlies are out, I seriously can't watch that boring style of ball.

Montsta - who would you rather face in the conf finals - Rockets or Clippers?

wasn't predicting john wall to get hurt. If he hadn't been hurt that series was not even close and Washington would've won. My prediction was made when wall was healthy & his injury changed the series. That's like if you guys played the cavs without lebron aka their best player for a couple games and then he came back and played through injury

I hate the Clippers so much that I both want them to get bounced early and I want the Warriors to crush them so I'm torn. That being said the Clippers scare me a little bit more because their style matches up well against the Warriors. Houston makes me nervous because Dwight will go 20-20 easily every game and we have no inside presence against a guy like that.

All in all, I'd like to face the Rockets because I think we have a better shot at advancing. The Clippers are definitely beatable, and I think we'd advance against them, but on a nightly basis I'd be more nervous watching the games.

Plus Matt Barnes is a wannabe thug ass bitch and I want to punch him in his tatted neck piece.

We were 2-1 in games he played in this series. The one they got with him was with us having a fluke 5/28 shooting quarter, and the other game they got in this series was with a lucky bank shot. They were nowhere near better than us this series. You should really start to actually watch games before you "analyze" them with your forum friends.

the 2 they won could've went either way. Wall made a clutch block that should've sealed the game but no one blocked out and horford got an easy putback he shouldn't have. And last game should've been ot but the clock wasn't on their side by .00000001 seconds lol. You can't say the Hawks would've still won because anyone in the world knows that wall at 100% would decimate Jeff Teague, just like lebron is going to do whoever is put in front of him next series.

He did for all three games he played ya goober. Korver shot under 30% from 3PT range in the series too.

 

Their backcourt dominated ours all series. Our strength came for Horford and Millsap. They lead the team.

 

Which is funny, because dumb pundits (and probably people like you who just regurgitate what they say) are the ones who said our "little" big men would be our downfall in the slower-paced playoffs. Yet both Korver and Teague have choked big time while Carrol, Sap, and Al have carried the team. 

 

Oh, and DeMarre Carrol made life pretty hard for LeBron the last time we played this newer Cleveland team. Your husband is not gonna have it easy against our diet version of Kawhi. 

 

You really should get off the media wave and start watching basketball for yourself my man.

I've watched every cavs, clippers, and wizards playoff games this whole postseason because those are the 3 team I have high interest in seeing what they can do

ok

here's an analysis for you.. hawks won't win the title

[gettlemanjack]

At least we have a title in professional sports.

in 150 combined seasons of the Hawks/Braves/Falcons playing in ATL, they have only brought home one title (the Braves, two decades ago). and it's 170 combined seasons if you include the NHL

thats crazy, I didn't realize how awful ATL was in sports. ATL is the 9th biggest metro area in the US, you'd think they'd have a lot more titles. Look at the all the other big cities. The only other big city as bad as ATL in sports is Phoenix, but they've only had 90 combined seasons of NFL/NBA/MLB (110 if include NHL) and aren't as big a city as ATL (4,489,109 to 5,614,323 population)

Biggest cities in the US:

#1 NYC - 57 titles (35 MLB/2 NBA/9 NFL/11 NHL)

#2 LA - 22 titles (6 MLB/11 NBA/2 NFL/3 NHL)

#3 Chicago - 27 titles (5 MLB/6 NBA/11 NFL/5 NHL)

#4 Dallas - 8 titles (1 NBA/6 NFL/1 NHL)

#5 Houston - 4 titles (2 NBA/2 NFL)

#6 Philadelphia - 16 titles (7 MLB/3 NBA/4 NFL/2 NHL)

#7 Washington - 7 titles (1 MLB/1 NBA/5 NFL)

#8 Miami - 7 titles (2 MLB/3 NBA/2 NFL)

#9 Atlanta - 1 title <------------WTF?!?!?!

4.29 million to 4.73 million population:

#10 Boston - 36 titles (9 MLB/17 NBA/4 NFL/6 NHL)

#11 San Fran/Oakland - 16 titles (7 MLB/2 NBA/7 NFL)

#12 Phoenix - 1 title

#13 Detriot - 22 titles (4 MLB/3 NBA/4 NFL/11 NHL)

2.75 million to 3.67 million population:

#14 Seattle 2 titles (1 NBA/1 NFL)

#15 Minneapolis - 7 titles (2 MLB/5 NBA)

#16 San Diego - 1 title

#17 Tampa - 2 titles (1 NFL/1 NHL)

#18 Saint Louis - 13 titles (11 MLB/1 NBA/1 NFL)

#19 Baltimore - 9 titles (3 MLB/1 NBA/5 NFL)

#20 Denver - 4 titles (2 NFL/2 NHL)

some from the less than 2.38 million population cities:

Pittsburgh - 14 titles (5 MLB/6 NFL/3 NHL)

Green Bay - 13 titles (all NFL)

San Antonio - 5 titles (all NBA)

Cincinnati - 5 titles (all MLB)

Cleveland - 12 titles (2 MLB, 10 NFL)
