NBA 2017/18

That's very cool

 

[LeTallecWiz]

fucking WOW

 

[Fabio]

I've watched that like 15 times and I'm in awe

 

[Modo]

What? Are you guys surprised?
Did you see the dunk on Nurkic?

Nope. I'm not an NBA fella, so I stumbled in here by accident

 

[Modo]

Oh OK, well here it is. Remember this guy is 32 and he's on his 15th year in the NBA.

 

[Modo]

 

[Fabio]

Bit dirty like, that

 

[ILD]

I'm in New Orleans in two weeks. Hoping they sneak a play off place. Very tight at the mo.

Playoff match-ups finalised.

East:

Raptors vs Wizards
Celtics vs Bucks
Sixers vs Heat
Cavs vs Pacers

West:

Rockets vs T'wolves
Warriors vs Spurs
Blazers vs Pelicans
Thunder vs Jazz

Some intriguing matchups.

 

[Modo]

The only potential upsets I can see are the Bucks beating the Celtics and possibly Jazz beating the Thunder.

 

[Oncy]

My lifelong love the Indiana Pacers will win.

LOL...no chance in hell that they'll beat my cavs

Celtics v Bucks should be close given that Kyrie is out.
Thunder v Jazz will be interesting.

I also think Raptors v Wizards will be a good match-up, if the Wall turns up properly.
Blazers v Pelicans is also a good match-up. First time seeing AD in the playoffs - eager to see how he does.

Warriors without Curry against Spurs would have been very interesting if Kawhi were playing.

The Pelicans with AD, Cousins and Rondo is a different animal. Nurkic, McCollum and Dame won't cope.
San Antonio without Kawhi are as good as done.

Boogie is injured. And the Pelicans have been better without him.

But he's coming back right? EDIT, checked hes not. Can't believe I missed this.
Oh in that case it's close.

Dream on Modo. All those baskets, dunk dunk, hook hook...

Managed to get tickets to game 2 of GSW-SAS. Do SA have any hope??

They'll be lucky to win one game.

They spanked Lebron in the opener. This really has been a disaster of a season for the Cavs.

His first loss in a game 1 in round 1 ever i think.

Celtics-Bucks was great.

 

[Oncy]

When is the next game?

 

[dmishra]

When is the next game?

18th

 

[dmishra]

So NO sweeps the Blazers 4-0. Philly leading Miami 3-1, and Warriors leading the Spurs 3-1.

Rest of the match-ups all seem evenly tied though at the moment. It's been a fairly competitive first round on the whole.

 

[Rosco]

Philly are going to win the East aren't they ?

Simmons looks like he might be the man to inherit the crown from King James

If James gets through this round, I think they'll take it still.

The question about Philly is ... have they forced the NBA to find a way to deal with tanking? As 3-4 years of it has created a fucking fantastic young team.

They have - isn't their some draft reform coming in next year ?

I think it will take ages to get it right
