Re: 2017 Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

I didn't get to see much of the Bucks Raps game, but looks like Raps went with a smaller lineup and slowed the game down.

Good for the Raps to make adjustments, now it's the Bucks turn.

They went small, but still has issues. Ibaka thought he was Lowry and took 3 pointer after 3 pointer, missing all of them. Raptors played Carroll still despite him not being good but Casey in love with playing him. And going small meant very little of JV.....Who was perfect 5/5 from field and had 5 rebounds. Though JV rarely gets benefit of the doubt on the floor. He gets in foul trouble alot when many times it's not his fault. 4on1(he's the 1) scramble for the ball,and he's the one that a foul is called on...Not saying refs mattered in this series,but JV specifically has never gotten benefit of the doubt.

Feels like I'm watching 2010 LeBron playing for Indy in number 13. He's checked out.

What are you watching? Lol

Never mind, I misunderstood what you meant. Thought you were talking about LeBron, not George

Can't really blame them in some ways. They gave it their all and deserved a couple wins but Cleveland (or rather, mainly Lebron) was just too much for them.

Say what you want about super teams, a 12 year playoff career with no first round exits is remarkable. Upsets always happen.

Indy hasn't quit, they're still in this.


Barely, but they are.

That Lance Stephenson iso on LeBron James warmed my heart. Traveled on the first step, rocked back and forth three times going nowhere in particular, coughed it up, immediately fouled James 88 feet away from the hoop.

Stephenson's career in a nutshell.

In the NBA? Not really.

We had two 3-1 teams come back and win their series last season, Boston are down to the Bulls, Memphis beat the Spurs a couple years ago and are tied with them this year. Dallas in 2011 is another big upset. I'd say upsets are pretty common in the NBA. Maybe the usual suspects end up in the Finals but before that it can be a lot tougher.

Why can't we get some screens for George or something to free him up since they seem to be doubling him all game. High school coaching man.

At least we didn't lay down though. Down 2 now

Kyrie hasn't impressed me much in the series. Had a couple moments but I don't want the ball in his hands right now.

His numbers through 3 are ***. 24/2/4 on percentages of 43/24/82. He needs to pick it up moving forward.

Do they know they are only down 2? They can run a play or something and dont have to jack up 3s.

Cavs just love nailbiters dont they?

LeBron has been phenomenal defensively down the stretch. And the big 3.
