Gamelive 2017 NBA Playoff Thread

Raptors are a ridiculous playoff team. Can they again squeak by a lower seed by the skin of their teeth despite a pathetically inconsistent effort?

Ehh who knows? Does it really matter?

Lillard against the world

Russel Westbrook is a douchebag. What kind of a professional athlete does not shake hands after a playoff series. They should fine and suspend him before next season.

+1! Was going to post something along these lines today and saw this! He's acting like a punk, douchbag, all the same! That's why I wanted so bad Harden and Co to beat his ass!

Yes he will get and deserves the the MVP award. He dissed Durant for leaving but just my gut feeling says he enjoys being the MAN in OKC and all about him! I hear sports people say poor Russell has no one great to play with! I wonder how much his teammates really enjoy playing with him?

Probably the press has a lot to do with all the triple double talk, but I think he goes into each game thinking about getting it! Get all you want pal, but you ain't getting any rings soon! MrQ, sportsmanship isn't a given in the NBA, so Westbrook won't see any punishment.

Great stat line for the entire game but Westbrook 4-18 shooting in the 4thQ! Not a MVP like showing when needed!

Was 2-11 (0-5 from 3) in the 4thQ last night and 14-49 (29%) for the series! So much for clutch crunch time performing!

 

[Mudcat]

Bit of a choad, that guy.

 

[roguejuror]

Yeah that punk wears skinny jeans also

 

[roguejuror]

Okay let's do this again TOR

 

[Mudcat]

They looked like they were choking it away but figured it out just in time.

So now, just a little matter of the Cavs

 

[MrMonkey]

So Boston takes game 1 over Wash and Utah advances with zero chances of winning against GS!

Odds against it but let's go Raptors and Rockets! How bout a team mascot of Raptor Rocket or Rocket Raptor!

The latter wins out going by google!!

 

[Mudcat]

Wouldn't it be funny if the Raptors beat Cleveland but then lost to the Boston/Wash winner?


:muddy:

 

[Mudcat]

Houston stomps all over the Spurs in San Antonio in game 1 tho.

 

[mrquincy]

It's impossible to watch the Raptors get stomped by the Cavs... I know Cleveland is ridiculously good but jeez... I hope Game 3 or 4 are a bit better..

:muddy:

 

[Mudcat]

In last year's series, the Cavs won the games in Cleveland by an average of like 30 points. So the Raptors are getting better!

:muddy:

 

[Mudcat]

New signature play for tonight's game!!!!!!!!!!

 

[roguejuror]

brave man

 

[mrquincy]

It's good to know that all of us here at Gamelive can shoot 3 pointers as well as the Raptors. Ugh.

 

[Mudcat]

Yeah, no, the Raptors, as currently constituted, have maxed out I think.


Oh well. It will be interesting to see what happens with the Celtics in the next few years. They got a good young team already and some top draft picks coming up. In fact they got the top spot in the upcoming lottery thanks to the dipshittery of the Brooklyn Nets.

I seriously doubt they will knock off Cleveland this year, but I foresee a methodical year-by-year process of mounting a real challenge while Lebron slowly gets older.
