Official 2015 NBA Playoff Thread

The Washington Wizards say All-Star guard John Wall suffered five non-displaced fractures in his left wrist and hand, and his playing status has not been determined.
WTF is a non-displaced fracture???
This is some real phoney BS

That's big news if he's out for the series. First game he doesn't play the Wiz lose I don't think is a coincidence. Chris Paul being out for the Clips is huge also.
 
Yep JR bangin three's down the stretch, but the bank was open for DRose... When did Kyrie get hurt???? Chippy series that will only get better. Can't wait till Sunday's game:)

Sore foot since game 2 of the Boston series. No KLove and a hurt Kyrie maybe even too much for the King to overcome. Pau may be out also, you hate the outcome to be decided by injuries.

The big news in the eastern conference .. are the Washington Wizards came into the postseason HOTTER than any East team.
The (Paul Pierce) Wizards team had the intention on SWEEEPING their oponent in 1st and 2nd round.
The Wizards has the top-1 tandem backcourt in the east conference with Wall & Beal
The Wiz played 3 games without their star PG Wall, and Wiz lead series over Hawks 2-1

The LA Clippers star PG CP3 miss 2 out of 3 games vs the Rockets .. Clippers lead the series over the Rockets 2-1

The Cavs Lebron, and the Bulls Rose are planning on playing all 7 games .. not good for Bulls the 7th game is in cleveland .. Bulls lead series over Cavs 2-1

Watching the Memphis Grizz out-play the GS Warriors now ...

How good were the Hawks all season? How little does it all seem to matter now? It doesn't take much to suddenly make a team where they'd have you believe the whole starting lineup is stars into a team where it's very clear that none of their players are stars. Atlanta can't handle a Washington team without Wall. Why? Because the Wizards are the one team that does still have a star. The ageless Paul Pierce.

That's 2 games Cavs/Bulls and Wiz/Hawks decided by lucky shots.

You want to see games decided by skill like Griz/Warriors where Allan and Conley along with help defense are smothering Curry/Thompson forcing them to give up the ball to Iggy who bricks his 3.

And you usually don't see this happen often in the playoffs. That's why I said you don't want to play games that come down to the last possession because anything can happen. I don't want my team in that position even if I had a proven player such as Paul taking the shot.

I do find it comical how Rose, Paul, Pierce plays are being categorized as "LUCKY" shots(I agree for the most part) by the current bi costal millennials of today, although I feel it's because of the ire each player receives across fan bases...

But how long did this same generation place such high stock in having "CLUTCH GENES?" Citing 82games.com for clutch play etc etc

How long did our very fan base prop up having a player like Carmelo, which supposedly separated(pure mythology) us from the pack of the league as having "That Go To Scorer"...."That Guy When The Game Is On The Line" to hit such shots?

Well looks like we're not the only team who has such a player, and we're still waiting for our player to even get to such an environment. Congrats to Rose, Pierce, Paul for having defining moments in these playoffs making them enjoyable to watch.

Carmelo would not have made those game winners, he's proven he isn't clutch. I wonder if you can look up his last shot performance on 82games but the last one I remember reading was very low and he's taken his share because of his rep.

The Hawks did good throughout the season having a deep depth team playing on the same-page for the first time in a long time. The Hawks played a 10-11 man rotation for 82 games this season.
The Wizards rotation has double the playoff-experience then Hawks .. Plus (last-shot- Truth) Paul Pierce has super-star status .. big edge

Derrek Rose and Lebron James are playing at super-star status level throughout the 2-2 series .... a seven game series of guess-who? We know who by the last game being in Cleveland.

CP3 super-star status are not needed in the Clippers vs Rockets 2-1 series of Blake Griffin super-star status controlling the tempo.

The defensive star-tandem of Conley & Allan has shook-up scoring-star tandem Curry & K.Thompson for two straight wins .. giving Grizz a 2-1 lead over GS .. next game @ Memphis

There's a huge difference between a Super-Star player vs a scoring-star player (Melo)...
 
Lebron made up for his sin in the end..another buzzer beater. The Playoffs this season have been an exciting Anomaly.
 
Kind of cool experience yesterday during the playoffs. Phil Jackson responded to my reply to one of the tweets he made yesterday, thus we had a quick exchange.

What was the exchange about?
Click to expand...

He made a couple tweets yesterday about how a certain pairing of playoff teams are fairing who run perimeter based systems. He wanted some updates on the analytics.... from the NBA analytics and the correlation to current playoff success. In essence he was pot shotting...trying to stick up for the Triangle and the basic offensive fundamentals

please post your tweet exchange with PJ here
 
Very cool, I read that PJ commented that the 3 point shooting teams are behind in the second round and he was indirectly defending the triangle but the Clips, Griz and Wiz aren't playing the triangle. The Knicks best success in recent years was when they set a team record in shooting the 3, Phil has no clue.

It was kind of crazy and totally unexpected he did as he already posted it several hours before I replied. And in his second reply he referred to many reply tweets as a tone of "crankiness" so I most certainly didn't think he'd engage me but he did.

Phil's Original of 2 Tweets yesterday....this is the one I replied to
