***THE OFFFICIAL BGOL 2015 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD*** Who you Got?

Personality wise, the sacrifices hes made to his game. Ive neever seen Love as a guy who wanted to win. Just a guy who played and put up numbers. He seems like a different kind of guy. One that would rather put up stats in LA on a losing team, than get 3rd option looks and live in Cleveland 8 months of the year. No dis to Cleveland... But seriously. If you got your ring, and money isnt an issue, you living in Cleveland to play behind 2 stars, or L.A. and lose there???
Where "pooh" go? Did he play tonite?
There is nothing worse than watching your team win a ring while you sit on the bench, especially after suffering the type of injury he suffered from during his first time in the playoffs... If anything watching how good his team is playing will only help him understand the system they are trying to accomplish and the importance of being a player in that system.. Imagine if he were to go to the Lakers where he rots there on a losing team, all that he accomplished in his career would go to shit...
It's raining in the H tonight. 
I guess we'll see. But Love went from being thought of as a top 10 player in the league to not being mentioned at all. That can't be easy to live with either. Your legacy can be a great player on shit team and even parlay that into a HOF career. Playing spot up guy with Bron you're just another guy. Boshs career will never be the same after playing with Bron rings be damned.
Clippers content with ending it at home I see
Ariza ballin.
He had similar numbers to Chris Bosh and Kevin Mchale and both of them won... I think the press have a problem him playing third fiddle to two other blacks, so they are doing everything in their power to drive him away from the Cavs...
jason throwin up the C...
smh
Jet stay crippin
Mavs and Bulls are similar in a lot of ways
Steady striking out on niggas
Settling for scraps
Sometimes overpaying them
Dwight Howard in 25 minutes has 19 points (7-11), 12 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal.
Been doing a search and can't find ONE post where you were whining like a bitch like this before LeBron and Co started giving you niggas the business... Now, all of a sudden the league is conspiring against the Bulls, FOH! If they were they wouldn't have suspended JR for two games. LeBron shooting like 4 FTs a game and here you go on this weak ass bullshit... Learn to take yo ass whipping like a man Nicca and stop all this bitch ass whining fool!
Rivers is hurt.
Josh Smith, Dwight Howard. ATL boys showin out in the H tonight.
We'll close em out at home
I think Love is gone, especially if the Cavs dont win it all(which I dont think they will); Cavs never used him right; He was basically being used like M Miller; standing on the perimeter waiting for the defense to collapse to shoot 3s; He leaves unless Blatt leaves and they replace him with someone who will use Love properly...
Yall better. If it comes to back to Texas
Word cuz they mailed it in tonight
stunk up the joint
How could you not use him right and have the best record in the league after they got their squad together... Again start repeating what them salty CAC's be spewing on ESPN... Chew on this, who are the two whites to get shitted on by ESPN over the last 20 years? The answer is Blatt and Love... Why you may ask, for allowing to become LeBrons bitch, thats why, and that the same reason why they are both hated by the cac press and why a smear campaign was committed on both of them...
Paper Clips should be ashamed. Poor effort and stupid play form jump. They lost this in the first quarter with the atrocious shot selection and lackluster play and defense.
And sub-zero...
And sub-zero...
The Cavs record has nothing to do with how they used Love; Did watch any Cavs games?? Why did Love himself come out and say hes not a stretch 4, hes not been used the way he think he should be used; he said those words himself, but yet ESPN is making this up
..Come on dude, everyone knows Love isnt happy with his role and how they use him on the team; I think Love leaves...

Their record has everything to do on how they use Love, because you play players to win games not to pad stats and stroke egos.. I stand by what I said before, if they were losing it would be a different story, but in this league either you are playing meaningful games doing what it takes to win, or you are wasting your time padding meaningless stats.
All the greats such as James Worthy, Kevin Mckale, Chris Bosh and even Pippen (to an extent) get it, and if Love really consider himself as being great, then him signing with the Cavs would be a no brainier...
Also, no matter what you or Love may claim, he is a stretch 4, because if he wasn't every time he went to the three point line, they would leave him wide open, collapsing in the paint... Just think how teams would play Tristan or Andy if they camped at the 3 point mark..
At the end of it all, it doesnt matter what you or I think; You putting all this subjective talk about great and this and that; none of that matters; It matters what Love thinks; and he thinks hes not a stretch 4; He thinks the Cavs dont use him right; He thinks that he doesnt fit in with the Cavs; He thinks those things so thats all that matter; He will bounce if he still feeling that way once free agents starts...
Remember his last game just before he got injured, he hit like 6 three pointers, so if he is good being a big white guy on a losing team than a intricate part of a winning, then he has strong cac feelings.. And would be labeled as nothing more than a flip flopping selfish player more interested in wack stats than actually winning... Plus nothing stings worse than the Cavs getting better with then throwing money at a player who would gladly trade in their stats for a chance at winning...
But in reality all of this is from two sources, one folks who are salty about the Wiggins trade and who are waiting for the Cavs and Love to falter just to throw it in their faces, and two salty cac's who are pissed off that Love is playing third fiddle to two other blacks... If Love had the same success and same numbers on any other club, the press would be praising him for stepping up and being a winner.... Instead you have folks making up stories keeping their fantasy hopes alive..
I dont think anyone is making up shit; Wheres theres smoke theres fire; And Love himself has come out and said those things; LBJ isnt easy to play with, ask bosh
but in all seriousness most star/great players arent easy to play/deal with; To me Love wants to be the star or 2nd in command; He doesnt want to be the 3rd wheel; And in Cleveland he is the 3rd wheel; thats just my observation; And I think there are teams out there that will give him what he wants; A team like Boston which isnt that far off from competing; Solid Coach, Young talent, and has like 6 1st round pics of the next 3 years I think: ; Is a CAC town, so Love should fit right in...Paper Clips should be ashamed. Poor effort and stupid play form jump. They lost this in the first quarter with the atrocious shot selection and lackluster play and defense.
And sub-zero...
Not sure what the Clips were doing tonight; But they should close it out at home; If them and GS make it to the next round, I believe that will determine who wins the finals...
Then why demand to go to the Cavs in the first place? Plus what Bosh and Love should know it's a lot tougher player every night with a bullseye on your chest, meaning teams get up for the top teams, can't stand the heat then play for the Lakers or T wolves. .
I somewhat agree but these guys have egos; All of them do; Hell if I was in the NBA I would too; So All think they are great, all think they are superstars, etc etc...So I dont blame him for wanting to be the center of attention; I think he wanted out of minny; and i also think he thought it would be easier playing with LBJ and they would use him a certain way; When that didnt happen, I think his ego was bruised; But hey thats just me speculating...
