NBA Playoffs 2015-2016

OKC has more overall talent stop with the ref conspiracy lol For the people worrying about Durant the only thing that is stopping Golden State from repeating is another Curry injury.

?? Did you watch that? It was clearly a foul!!!

Yeah I saw it. Happens all the time in the NBA. NBA has shoddy refs always has. Scott Foster made myself the center of attention just last night.

Conspiracy or incompetency - they're both unacceptable. As a fan, I'm so tired of watching games being influenced by the inconsistency and incompetency displayed by the officials. In no other sport is there near the incompetence nor the inconsistency in the officiating.

It's pretty bad but IMO it's improved since Stern left.

At the end of the day, when you play players of Westbrook and Durant's caliber 40+ minutes a game, you're just going to have enough talent against anyone.

Second straight game where they scored or assisted on at least 80 points. It's hilarious how predictable the team is.

[CelticSooner]

Yep. When you have two top 5 players on your team you should beat about anyone. Spurs "Big 3" are showing their age now.

I hate OKC offense so much. It's lame. So much iso and 1 on 1. Durant is better but Westbrook is tough to watch sometimes.

[jpotter33]

Kenny and Charles are smoking crack if they think Michael Jordan was better than Curry offensively. No way. Overall two-way player? Without a doubt. But Curry is the probably the best offensive player to have ever played the game.

[SparzWizard]

See OKC has Spurs' number. They can't beat them not even on their own turf.

[Endless Paradise]

Wow. OKC has the best fourth-quarter point differential in the postseason after ranking 15th for the season.

uh oh

[alldaboston]

uh oh

uh oh indeed.

This is not the crunch time SAS of the past

Age and Father time catches up to you at some point.   Of course, they could reload quick with KD joining them and have a super three of Aldridge, Leonard and Durant.

how many times has a team swept the first 3 rounds? Cavs will do it this season. They probably win the chip (not in a sweep) because they will be well rested while the west finalist will be dead tired from the conf finals. ugh! another cakewalk.

The Warriors are a far better team than the Cavs.

Not facing a single team that even resembles a contender until the Finals is not a blessing.

This Cleveland core has never played together in a close series. They have very little shared experience of adversity.

I know we couldn't help it because it was largely due to Crowder's injury at the end of the season, but we really screwed ourselves by playing like crap down the stretch and losing the three seed. I wholeheartedly believe we would've convincingly won our way to the conference finals.

Just think - if Jae wouldn't have got hurt, then we would have most likely done enough to keep the third seed. Then playing Charlotte in the first round we both wouldn't lose Bradley to injury AND we wouldn't have a bad matchup. Then we would've played Toronto, who has looked absolutely terrible all playoffs long with their backcourt folding under pressure. Does anyone really think that a fully healthy C's squad wouldn't have took it to these Raptors? I think we would've won in 6.

It's amazing how much Jae's ankle injury screwed us down the stretch.
