OT: NBA Final Week/Playoffs

[PA_Panther]

Well after the first week of the playoffs as a fan you couldn’t ask for much more.

Pacers vs. Cavs is something else Lebron is carry a team full of half warm bodies. It’ll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday holy crap what a four game performance. Portland should probably blow it up but it won’t happen.

The Raptors are raptoring so hard right now. Yeah the Wizards are talented but cmon fellas.

Boston vs. Milwaukee has been awesome. It’s great to see the Greek Freak performing like this on a big stage. Marcus Smart might play game 5 which would be a big shot in the arm for Boston.

San Antonio vs. Golden State.. meh. Gotta feel bad for Pop maybe the best coach of all time.

Jazz Thunder maybe the most entertaining series. Pg 13 Melo and Russ getting it from Mitchell and freaking Ricky Rubio. Have to love it.

Sixers Heat.. Sixers had no business winning game four and still found a way to win. If you get a chance the offense the run is must watch. Lots of screening and movement exact opposite of Isolation basketball that I fell some people just don’t like to watch.

I know opening weekend ratings for the NBA playoffs were I think +17 percent compared to last years highest ratings of all time.

Even as a Sixers fan, I have to admit it's good to see Marcus Smart back. Such a pit bull, he's fun to watch on D. Looking forward to Sixers - Celtics second round.

Man is Rubio in the head of Russell Westbrook. I don't see how Paul George stays at this point unless they run off three wins in a row and have a decent second round as well. Melo's contract is an albatross for another year too.

I think it’s only a matter of time that’s billy Donavan ends up back coaching college. I get that Russ is a problem but cmon a lineup that features Russ Pg13 and Adams has to win a playoff series.

Plus he had KD Westbrook Waiters Adams and blew a 3-1 lead. His time is ticking, Quinn Snyder is making him look like a 8th grade girls basketball coach.

I don't know any team that runs less total plays than the Thunder. And stagnation in the face of the Jazz defense is what's beating them, more than The Spider's volume scoring on the other end. Whether that's the fault of the coach or the point guard, the buck stops with the coach...

Geat ending to the Cavs-Pacers game tonight. Cavs give away the 7-10 pt lead they were nursing for the last quarter and a half to make it a tie game with less than a minute. Lebron turns the ball over with 26 seconds left but blocks Olidipo’s drive to the basket with 3 seconds left. He then gets the inbounds and drains the long 3 at the buzzer for the win.

OKC erased a 25-point deficit in roughly 8 minutes of basketball... that’s crazy. Another great night in the association

Cavs supporting cast needs to start playing better. Can’t keep getting nothing from JR, Love & company and expect to even beat Toronto.
