Don't you guys hate it when one of your MVPs plays bad so you have to rely on your other MVP to have a big game

2017 Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

First off, much respect to the Jazz for how they handled the Clippers and for how they fought the last 2 games, especially without their starting PG.



Secondly, it ain't no justification game. To play and beat Lebron Multiple times in the Finals was/is going to take more than the Splash Bros.

I mean to be fair if you listen to Cav fans and Warrior haters they did need KD. Since the talk has been all about how they wouldn't have ever beat the Cavs if Kyrie and Love weren't hurt and then as soon as they both were healthy for the whole Finals they came back on GS.

Right but they barely lost lol. They didn't need a league MVP to go from losing the Finals in 7 games to winning it. Most teams add players like KD to go from fringe playoff contention to title contention... not adding them to make the difference between losing a game 7 in the Finals to winning it.

Warriors are just bull****. I don't find that team fun to watch at all. KD is just overkill. It's stupid.

Used to love watching them before KD. It felt organic.

Think the jazz would have won that game if they had a healthy george hill. They did a so many things right but in the end just couldn't find enough consistent scoring. Aside from hitting some clutch shots in Clippers series Hood has had a pretty miserable playoffs, 1-8 tonight

Jazz just don't have enough, and I know that's not groundbreaking news. Golden State can just hit you from everywhere, and they can go on huge runs in a blink of an eye.

Jazz just can't score With them, not enough offensive pieces, and their may not be a single team that can when it's all said and done.

Like my man KD said

Thankfully, even if they ring (very likely) this year they'll probably lose either or both Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston. Those are two pretty big holes to fill even with Green, Thompson, Curry & Durant.

Also, this unknown medical issue could play a part in Kerr continuing to coach. After the league lost Flip Saunders the last thing they/we need is another good guy lost in any capacity, but his life means more than just basketball.

I think one of the big four leaves in the summer, and I still wouldn't be surprised if Durant is that one. That would be the ultimate ring chase. Get his one ring, validate his HoF credentials (even though he was already there) and then go back to OKC.

Anyway, after taking back home court I'm hoping the Spurs have another W in them. Jonathan Simmons and Patty Mills need to remain aggressive on offense while team defense needs to continue to be the biggest priority.

Can't lose focus and let the Rockets go off from the three-point line, again.

We gotta keep those hands up and back on defense too...seemed to completely throw Harden and the Rockets off that they couldn't get those calls...

It is kind of ridiculous that the Spurs have to resort to such an awkward stance defensively just so Houston doesn't receive BS calls.

Re: 2017 Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Houston's inability to hit mid-range shots is hurting them right now. They keep on challenging the trees at the rim or launching foolish threes.

I coached kids one summer and I remember spending half the time during games reminding to keep their hands straight up on D while commenting out loud during the games, "I know it feels silly but it's good defense."

It's like he said this to himself after the last game:

I didn't get enough calls in the last games because I wasn't selling it enough so I need to step up on that.
