2018 NBA Playoffs

KD another choker. He, and GSW, choked away the last 2 games... Unfortunately, HOU a bigger choker and thus KD and the band survive and live for another day.

5th straight season Lebron leads a to the NBA Finals. On a side note, I really have no love left for Durant. He’ll get a 2nd ring soon and he’s a great player, but man how many more years of this do we get? Durant, Curry, Klay, and Green are all still under 30. Yeah, Houston might have had them without the Chris Paul injury, still, this finals is set up to be boring as dirt.

It's what we feared when KD signed with GS, a perennial dynasty in GS. Have to give them some credit with KD and now Klay talking about taking less money to give them flexibility, they seem to have created an environment that players want to play in and they're still relatively young unlike CLE the oldest team in the league and HOU the second oldest. HOU has some big decisions to make, Capela, CP3 and they have to trade that 20M stiff Ryan Anderson.
 
Wsup KO Forum .. went out of town for the Memorial Day weekend had to tape Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday Games ....

GAME-6 Cavs 109 - Boston 99 .. Series Tied 3-3
Lebrons 46 pts, 11 rbd, and 9 Dimes in the Cavs win on Friday were another spectacular winning performance from Lebron w/o Love.
George Hill step-up in the game to add 20 points to tie the series with Boston.
GAME-7 Cavs 87 - Boston 79 .. Cavs WIN Series 4-3
The Cavs performed a great relentless Team-defense on Boston in Game-7 to WIN the series on Sunday.
Lebron had another outstanding performance adding 35 pts, 15 rbd, and 9 Dimes w/o Love, getting help from Green adding 19 pts and 8 rb, TT added 10 pts and 9 rb for a Cavs WIN in Boston.

Rozier 0-9 from 3 after Morris missed a 3 off an OR of his FT miss. Big misses by the Celts, Celts shooting 18% now from 3, Cavs with a 7 pt lead with only 1:14 left. Cavs going back to the finals, took until the last game but Rozier came up small going 0-10 from 3, they missed Kyrie like everyone expected. The legend of Lebron, taking this team to the finals handing the Celts their first loss at home and breaking that 37-0 record of not losing a series after being up 2-0 in a series.

Pass-first Rozier 2-Way performance vs Kyrie scoring?
The Celtics shot 7-39 from the 3-Ball line in Game-7 .. yep that's 17% shooting !!!


GAME-6 Warriors 115 - Rockets 86 .. Series Tied 3-3
Klay Thompson came up big in Game-6 by scoring 35 pts, Curry added 29 pts, and Durant scored 23 points for the win to tie the series vs the Rockets.
The Rockets were without their super-star PG Chris Paul in Game-6
GAME-7 .. Warriors 101 - Rockets 92 .. Warriors WIN Series 4-3
Chris Paul hamstring let the Rockets organization and his teammates down for game-6 and game-7 .. Poor Rockets!
The Warriors let the Rockets have a 9 point lead at Half-Time to only take it away in the middle of the 3rd quarter.
The Warriors 2nd half scoring performance in Game-7 from Durant's 34 pts, Curry's 27 pts, Klay 19 pts, and Green's double-double plus 5 Dimes performance took away any hope the Rockets had of going to the FINALS!

Same old story with Chris Paul as well, how many times has he missed games with an injury esp a hammy. Rox had an advantage with Iggy being out but if CP3 isn't back for game 7 I don't think they have a chance. Too bad, you take 10 years to build a team to win a championship and it's decided by an injury to a key player.

So True .. CP3 outstanding perfomance in Game-4 and in Game-5 had me believing the Rockets were going to the FINALS.
Now we have a rematch from last year FINALS .. Cavs vs Warriors !!!

Yeah .. it's lookin real good for Steve Kerr, he may retire in Golden State having a 6 year plan in ..
Curry will be a Keeper after the end of his contract in 2023 ..
And Klay lookin to be a 2023 Keeper too ..
And Green, Iggy, and Livingston will all be looking for extension in their contracts ..
And Durant's lookin to stay on board to get as many RINGS as possible having the NBA number one tandem back-court Curry/Klay !!!
 
Here we go again .. a 3rd NBA FINALS of GS Warriors vs Cavs ....
Yeah - Yeah .. I also wanted to see a Rox vs Boston FINALS too.
 
Hard enough for the Cavs to beat the Warriors. It's going to be impossible for them to beat the refs and the Warriors. They turned that charge call on Curry into a block by LeBron by reviewing whether he was in the restricted area, he wasn't close to being in the restricted area so they shouldn't have reviewed and overturned a critical call. Similar play to a LeBron play when he blocked Oladipo which turned out to be goal tending costing IND a basket which they didn't review.

Still Hill choked that last FT, that's what you get 10 year vets for so they make their freebies down the stretch.
 
Don?t forget the sequence in the first half, back to back bad calls (LeBron stripped KD and they called a foul but next possession refs swallow whistle when Looney fouled LJ).

Greatest performance in Finals history marred bc refs overturn a call, Hill missed a FT and JR Smith is clueless.

Tough enough for LeBron to beat GSW, with their 3 All-Stars, but to beat GSW and Zebras (and nobody on his team can hit a 3)... It?s just too much. And, LJ is so good... this is why KD ran to GSW bc to even have a chance to beat LJ you have to have 3 of the game?s top players assembled on the court or you have no chance to beat this LJ.

The officials gave this game to the home court team in three calls during crunch time .. I expected George Hill to hit both free throws to give Cavs a one point lead so GS could call a timeout having 4 seconds left in game .. to see what type of offensive plan coach Kerr would come up with in the final 4 seconds.

Warriors 124 - Cavs 114 .. Warriors lead series 1-0
The Warriors 4 all-star players had a great game tonight to force a overtime win ..
Curry adding 29 pts, 6 rbs, and 9 Dimes, Durant adding 26 pts, 9 rbs, 6 Dimes, Klay adding 24 pts, and Green all-around performance added 13 pts, 11 rbs, 9 Dimes, and 5 steals for the Warriors to grab the first win of the series.
The Warriors got great depth help from their bench players Livingston/Bell/and Mcgee in the 3rd quarter to take the lead.
King James performed on the next level of B.ball for the Cavs tonight adding 51 points, 8 rebounds, 8 Dimes, and had several legit complaints about the officiating but stayed silent .. The JR Smith rule of Thinking got King James Tight !!!
Larry Nance Jr. gave the Cavs a great 20 minute performance tonight adding 9 points, and 11 rebounds.

Thats tough to beat when you have 4 guys putting up numbers like that. This was as close as the Cavs are going to get to winning a game against them, now that everyone one is saying the Cavs have a chance, I bet they get blown out in the next 3 for a Warriors sweep. Lebron dragged this Cavs team to the finals is one thing but beating these Warrior's is impossible imo.
 
A team as strong as GSW doesn?t or shouldn?t need help from the zebras. I?ve never seen a charge reversal like that on top a poorly officiated game. What was the line? Did GSW end up covering the spread?
 
GSW plays too sloppy... they?re like Mike Tyson, where if you hang in there for first round (in third quarter) then you have a shot.

Bottom line, though, Cavs lost bc Hill chokes at the FT line and JR is an idiot. They only have themselves to blame. Not to mention the fact that nobody can hit a 3 for Cavs (aside from LeBron).

With that said, zebras screwed CLE royally. There?s no way that should?ve been reversed.

Remember that game we lost in MIL 2 years ago, when Greek Freak fouled a Knick in the final minute of the game... he fouled him but there was no call, instead ref just said it was NYK?s ball?

Then, Kidd asks for a review to determine who the ball went off of? Ref obviously gave us ball bc he didn?t call the foul... BUT, guess what, that particular play isn?t a reviewable situation... I mean, they could only judge who touched ball last... that?s it.

So, here we are last night.... Unlike the play in MIL... this charge/block thing near circle is not only reviewable but a reversible thing as well.

How is this fair? It?s arbitrary BS.

Im sure the GS Warriors covered the spread beating the Cavs by 10 points, plus scoring 124 points on their home court.
The Cavs being the huge underdog in the NBA FINALS having one all-star player (Lebron) on their roster vs Warriors four all-star players in Durant/Curry/Klay/Green .. The underdog Cavs winning Game-1 of the FINALS series inside GS Oracle arena would have been a BIG billion dollar UPSET in Los Vegas odds n betting .... when u have odds of 3-1 or 5-1 on the underdog Cavs winning the first game of the series you will have a million underdog fans that will take that long shot bet. King James made it possible several times in the closing 3 minutes for a Big upset in Oracle arena, but the Zebras officiating down to the final 37 seconds of the game put their own change to that, plus teammate Hills missed free throw, and JRsmith delusional act after grabbing Hills missed free throw shot put a stop to the Cavs from having any chance of winning in regulation. And I thought the Cavs Clarkson had a real bad performance in Game-1 !!!

The Warriors four all-stars really NEED Iggy or the officials to beat Lebron's Cavs !!!
 
Warriors 122 - Cavs 103 .. Warriors lead series 2-0
The GS Warriors came out tonight to WIN as a team and thats what they did tonight taking a second win over the Cavs in Game-2.
The Warriors shot 60% from the FG throughout the game, plus handed out 28 Dimes as a team scoring their 2nd 120+ point game in the FINALS.
Wow! Steph Curry hit 9 3s tonight scoring 33 pts plus handed out 8-Dimes, Durant was one rebound short of a double-double scoring 26 pts on 10-14 shooting, Klay added his 20 pt game, and Green all-around 2-Way performance kept the rest of the team on the same-page for the win. McGee and Livingston combine for 100% FG shooting for the Warriors tonite hitting 11-11.
The Cavs never got a chance to have the lead throughout the game from tip-off to the final seconds of the game.
The Cavs just wanna go home to Cleveland !!!
 
Lue has Hood in and he has 6 pts now but I've been saying what a bust he's been after I was praising the guy when he got traded as an athletic scorer. With Iggy back, Cavs need all the help they can get and they could use the 16ppg he scored while in Utah.

Just read that Anderson might cost the ROX 80M in salary and luxury tax next season. He's got 2 years left and the Rox can't trade him ouch. Knicks made the right move not giving in to Melo and trading Ryno for him.
