NBA 2018 Playoffs Thread

Dang... sad to think that's probably the last time we see DeRozan in a Raptors jersey.

If they decide to blow it up (which they might. Toronto has NO picks in this draft, no cap space) I would like to see a trade with the Wolves. Toronto gets Wiggins, Teague, Dieng and a pick, and Minnesota gets Lowry and Derozan.

When was the last time you’ve seen a team trade multiple all-stars in a single trade?

If they blow it up, both need to go, but in separate trades. No way they will get as good value in a singular trade.

Wow. They’re really giving him a flagrant 2? An All-Star in Derozan?

Not that it matters now, but that is some BS. Like they would EVER give Lebron a flagrant 2.

This league is such a joke with how the rules and officiating are so biased.

That flagrant 2 call was complete bs.  flagrant 1 at most, and more likely just a hard foul.
You are exactly right that Lebron would never get a flag 2 on that play, but neither would Embiid, or Greek Freak.  It has been a pattern in the playoffs of refs trying to lay off the 'star' players regardless of what really happened on the court.

If we do get past Philly, we all better be ready for a x-large serving of 'star' treatment for Lebron and probably Love as well.

Jazz just cut the Rockets lead to 3.  Jazz are trying at least to make a game of this...
would love it if they could take the series back to Utah.

The Utah Mitchells aren't going quietly.

What a quarter by Mitchell!  That pull-up 3 in Paul's face was nasty.

Kid is fun to watch.  Quickly becoming one of my favorite non-Celtics players.

UH OH.

Mitchell leaves the game with a non-contact injury 

Probably done for the game, but hope the injury isn't too serious...

Chris Paul single handedly eliminating the Jazz.  CP3 with 39 points right.
He has hit 3 after 3 after 3.  Just daggers into the Jazz.

[Bucketgetter]

I thought Chris Paul was a choker??

This is always my fear with freakishly athletic small guys who take it inside a lot. Hope he’s okay

Dagger

[Vox_Populi]

Poor Utah.

Phenomenal game from Paul.

CP3 willing the rockets to the W

[blink]

i think cp3 had about 15 straight points for the rockets in the 4th there...wow.

This makes me a little bit more excited about the GSW - Rockets WCF....If Paul can crank it up like this the Rockets might have a chance.

Well we traded Pierce and KG. KG was an all star that year, and Pierce was an all star the previous year but had missed it for that year.

You're probably right, I just brought up 1 trade to blow it up so I didn't have to come up with a bunch of different teams and needs.
