Official 2014 NBA Playoffs thread

Dirk's defense has been worst than ever this series.

That wide open 3 he gave Diaw in Game 4 still haunts me.
 
You are what you are

We played over our heads to get to this point

You know the deficiencies of this team and it's all on display today

Well I agree but that doesn't escape Carlisle was outcoaching Popovich and we were outplaying them.

To be honest.....this is more of a true view of these teams than those previous games. Spurs were playing like ass. I don't even think the Mavs were playing over their heads. Dirk didn't just show up to this series until the last game. Everyone been inconsistent. Not one player consistently playing well in this series for us.

Yea its been ass. Granted, Dirk ain't shit defensively and never was. But he can be average or decent at times. This nigga was ass all series long. That must be father time catching up to him. Diaw been lowkey working him at times.....
 
Got to get a better center on this team

And better at the 3

Yeah that's a start. Looking at the Spurs....Mavs have to work too hard to score. They need some easy scoring guys. A 5 and a 3 would do wonders. Nevermind the fact that they suck defensively too though. That's a problem in itself.

The real thing this team should be doing is trying to get younger but I guess that's not much of a option with no trade pieces and no draft picks....

Since when are the Spurs gonna beat OKC :lol:

These game 7s went pretty much how I expected and the officiating was right in line with what I expected to see.

Durant gonna shoot hella free throws against the Clippers and they gonna advance to the WCF.

Spurs gonna get Portland out of there in 6....

the league knew what they were doing with the administrative decisions they made this past week...

Agreed the league got exactly what they wanted

I like Marion defensively but he can't be the starter next year if he come back

Need a better 3 I know Melo is a long shot but give it a try

I already said I see us signing Deng though

He's more our speed

Throw a bunch of money at Greg Monroe in restricted free agency and hope the Pistons don't match
 
My 2nd round predictions

SA in 7 vs. Portland.
- Lillard vs Parker; L.A. vs. Duncan = EPIC
- Evenly match teams, imo with the exception of Portland being younger.
- Experience is edging the Spurs over the Trailblazers in this series for me.

Clippers in 7 vs. OKC
- I like the Clippers inside game better.
- I do worry about CP trying to guard WB, although I do feel that trying to defend Curry is a much more difficult task than defending WB.
- KD should eat this series. Clippers D is ass.
- Overall team talent is edging my decision for the Clippers to win this series.

Pacers in 6 vs. Washington
- I know the Pacer struggled against the Hawks, but they found out something about themselves that they probably knew they didnt really have. They can play small ball when needed.
- Wizard have a nice 5 and I expect Wall to go ham along with Beals, but PG is going to be the best player in the series.

Heat in 7 vs. BK
- I'm actually choosing this on the strength of game 1 of this series. BK has to win one of the first 2 games in Miami to have a shot at all.
- BK is going to have to win at least two road games to have a shot.
- This series is going to be close, if BK stays healthy enough to make it a series.

Deng is the type of signing I expect. He's the type of guy that would come here. I'm not excited about it because I think we overpay for him.

Might as well go after Melo. They've been doing the pipedream thing thus far. I don't see why they should stop now. They've been going after guys who weren't coming here anyway. Keep it up. Still can't believe we got Calderon here......wish we could amnesty him. I'd feel different about him if we weren't paying him all that shit.

Yeah, I like Deng, but he's been over paid his whole career.

I think I read somewhere that Deng has two or three of the lowest PER's for an all star.

That, and he is probably going to miss 15-30 games every year.


:lol:

Yeah I mean I'll take Deng for the contract we gave Monta but I think he'll get more than that

In a perfect world in the CBA you could have like 4 or 5 dudes making like 8 mill a year who are good players but you got dudes getting 12 mill, 10 mill, even 14 mill a year that are overpaid

That Calderon contract is terrible!

If he was making half of that I would love the fact he is on the team

We could use that money on a better player this summer

I haven't heard any connections with us and Melo but it needs to start

We have committed to this pipe dream shit so keep it up

Keep swinging for the fences
 
I got Okc over the clips in an exciting highlight filled series. Westbrook and Durrant are going to put up ridiculous numbers this series.
 
Welp, the NFL Draft is this week.

Let's see if Jerry fucks up or has a good draft. :suicide:

im praying that Manziel is off the board before its our pick.
Jerry is just the stupid ass to grab him if he's still there and just fuck the pick all up.
