Giannis wuz robbed
Sike. The MVP hasn’t actually meant the player that helps your team win the most for a while now. It’s whoever has the best stats, so hats off to Harden. They really should just call it most outstanding player since that’s what is really is.

And how many would the Bucks have won without Giannis?
The Rockets will be fortunate to wind up with a 3 seed, while the Bucks have the best record in the league. How many times did the Rockets best the Bucks this year again? Oh wait.
It actually doesn’t matter since neither of them is likely to win a title, but we shall see. I don’t know what was confusing about my post though- Harden clearly had the better season. 4/9/2019 12:20:34 AM |

You think they’ll beat the Raptors in the ECF? IDK man. Giannis is amazing but the Raptors have lots of playoff experience and a healthy Kawhi.
If the Rockets have to face OKC in the first round, and then grind out two series on the road against Denver (at altitude) and then the Ws, I don’t like their chances very much.
So yeah, forgive me for going out on a limb and predicting another Ws title. How absurd of me. 4/9/2019 1:53:08 AM |

I said “neither is likely,” but thanks for putting words in my mouth.
Of course the Bucks and Houston have a chance to win. So do the Raptors. Given the way the Ws have played throughout the season, it’s hard to really tell which team will show up, but I’m guessing effort and defense are going to be significantly higher, because they weren’t exactly stellar during the regular season last year, and look what happened.
^^ fair enough. The Ws want first round matchups with the Clippers (light travel, although Beverley scares me), Spurs (they’re horrific on the road, but Popp), and then OKC (PG3/Russ nuff said) in that order. Obviously Houston is the biggest threat to the Ws in the west, and it’ll be a tight series, given how close they’ve played each other in the Finals last year. But the regular season series this year could have easily been 2-2 had KD gotten that shot off before the buzzer way back at the beginning of the season. Just like the Rockets could’ve beaten the Ws last year had they not missed 27 3s. Or had a healthy CP3. Whichever.
Tbh, it’s been a semi lackluster regular season for the Ws, and I’m so happy it’s finally playoff time.4/9/2019 11:59:19 AM |

justinh524 Sprots Talk Mod 27827 Posts user info edit post |
Magic Johnson resigns from Lakers.
This is definitely a shock to me. It's a good move for the Lakers franchise, as he was terrible at running the organization. He did absolutely nothing right for them. I'm sure LeBron won't like it because it very likely means Walton will stick around. 4/9/2019 9:28:44 PM |

Ugh. 14 pt 4th quarter lead, leave PG open last possession, late Harden missed FT (only one of the night) and missed open 3
Well all and all pretty fun season considering all the injuries. Just wish we were better positioned for the playoffs since CP3s doesn't have many more seasons

I can't believe you posted those stats like the Warriors are getting techs bc of the foul disparity instead of because they have Green, Durant and Boogie. Those guys ALWAYS get techs.

NOTE: I didn't bring up the officiating, justin did. And then when a non-warrior fan pointed out the obvious, it devolved into this BS. As usual.
Seriously guys, it's the playoffs. Can we talk about the matchups or anything else?
I think it's kinda funny that Portland could potentially lose on purpose to force a OKC/HOU matchup by deliberately losing their game. They essentially get to decide their fate and several other teams since OKC plays first. 4/10/2019 6:45:39 PM |
