NBA Playoffs

I missed the context of his statement entirely, but I got a solid laugh after hearing Windhorst just say "the Blazers have a shot in this series if they win the point total battle."

Really, wow he's an analytical I guess.

Portland will be lucky to win one game in this series. GS looking forward to Durant being gone already, playing some good ball.

I watched for a bit after the lottery and turned it off. I agree, this series is dump.

Milwaukee Toronto will be good.

I felt the NBA championship was the Houston-Golden State series.
No one else has much of a chance.

I think Milwaukee can win it all. Toronto has a slight chance imo.

Houston GS was definitely for the West imo.

Everybody calls Kevin Durant the best player in basketball now that LeBron James is getting older but I think the two best players in basketball are The Greek Freak and Kawhi Leonard. Whichever team comes out of the East .....the best player on the floor will be Leonard or The Greek Freak. That means something.

I agree. Durant is overrated imo. GS with Durant is probably too much. If he's not healthy though, those teams from the East can beat them.

[irishman89]

I just feel like Toronto got 7 stellar games from Leonard and barely beat Philly. Philly didn't even play that well. I feel like Milwaukee is going to give Toronto more than they can handle in 7. Toronto is going to need someone else to seriously show up besides Leonard.

Portland only down 6.

They were put in a tough spot for game 1 after playing an emotional game 7 in Denver.

Kanter showing how single handedly outrebounding GS helps.

Great move by Portland picking him up

I always thought Rodney Hood had a lot of potential it's kind of weird the way his career is going. Inconsistency.

Agreed. I've always been a fan, couldn't understand why his career has been so weird.

[KevinBaconIsNotMyHero]

Portland has played rubbish tonight. And the bad news for them is that GS didn’t necessarily play well either, especially defensively, Portland just missed open shots. This is a 4 or 5 game series to me but I’ve been wrong plenty in these playoffs. Thought OKC would beat Portland tbh.

[D_H]

Well

GS up 1-0

[KevinBaconIsNotMyHero]

GS helped off Aminu, Turner, and Harkless all night to give CJ and Dame different looks. Thought it was smart. Lillard seems gassed.

Yeah I didn’t watch mutch, but when they said harkless was por leading scorer I just thought “well that’s not a good thing”

He's had a very tough time staying healthy everywhere he's been. He will finally get enough minutes to get into a consistent rhythm, and then breakdown and get injured. He's a solid player if he can shake his version of the Eric Gordon Syndrome.

Where dem Lowry haterz!!

[somuchyummy]

leonard didn't have his best game tonight. seemed a little gassed. but watching him i was struck by the weirdest thought - let me know if i'm onto something or on something. anyway, of all the players in today's nba, he's the one that reminds me the most of jordan. fantastic athlete, fantastic defender, ultra competitor, big shot maker, can score in multiple ways and often will put his team on his back. i've never had that thought about lebron and jordan because their styles of play are so different. but leonard's the alpha dog guy who is giving me michael flashbacks right now.

Where dem Lowry haterz!!

But he lost

Does anyone think that possibly Kevin Durant tore his Achilles heel and they're just not telling anybody?

[Moses Scurry]

GS missing a beat without Durant? Nope.

Overrated empty stats trash.

Curry > Durant.

So you would not take him if he wanted to play in Minnesota?

No, that's silly. For multiple reasons.

Nope, would take shots from Wiggins.

They just said on the jump his return is nowhere in sight.........

Ok?

If he tore his Achilles tendon he'd be out until 2020 and we wouldn't even be considering if he's healthy enough to come back. It wouldn't be a discussion.

"Nowhere in sight" likely means not this round of the playoffs.

I googled a calf strain and a grade 3 sprain can take 6 weeks to heal.
