Forgot we had a playoff thread.

That game was like a microcosm of Good Westbrook and Bad Westbrook, and to a lesser degree good and bad Harden. But deeper in the game it was more good Harden and bad Westbrook. He was brilliant most of the game but no excuse for the blatant ballhogging and forcing plays down the stretch.

Russell Westbrook just took another stat sheet dump with 51 points on 43 shots . To put that in perspective King chucker himself Kobe Bryant only took 46 shot when he scored 81 points!

I don't care what people say about how bad his teammates are, look what Heat did with ball movement and a D-League roster...I pray that people haven't fallen for his rubbish in the MVP vote.
I feel the same way. He's such an amazing specimen to behold on the court that it's easy to forget that he's made the guys around him play worse, not better.

Overall all the series have been interesting to watch besides ours and SAS/Memphis.

The one I am keeping an eye on is LAC/Utah. Because of Griffin and Hayward. I know if we lose in the first round we look less appealing but still......

IF Utah loses there is a better chance of Hayward leaving and same goes for Balke if Clippers lose.

I like Hayward a lot BUT I think I want the Clips to lose because they could blow it up. CP3 and Blake could leave which opens the door to DeAndre being traded. Now if I were to dream I would want to sign Griffin and trade for George(Crowder, Bradley, BKN pick).


In the end I am just trying to distract myself from the celtics current situation

Man, the Cavs look shell-shocked right now like Boston did the first two games.

Cavs give up 74 points in the first half in a playoff game. Wow.

I'd love to see the Celtics come out with this same fire Indiana is showing in Game 3.

Looking away at WHERE they are playing (I know we are on the road and Indiana is at home now), everyone ruled out Indiana after Game 2 saying they couldn't finish games and they were going down in a simple 5 games, and look at this response.

Celtics need to have a similar game tomorrow night.

Toronto traded two 1st rounders just to get beaten in the 1st round by the Bucks.

The Bucks plays big just like the Bulls. I don't think Ibaka could have solved our rebounding woes.

Ibaka with 0 rebounds in 12 minutes. People on here would be screaming for Danny's head if he traded a 1st for a rental on Ibaka and got this...

And I got blasted for saying in one thread next to Cavs .....the team that would give us the most trouble is the new better Bucks with Middleton .   

The Bucks might just have what it takes t beat Cavs too.

They could. I would still take Cleveland, but it would certainly take 6, maybe 7 games.
