    I dont remember another 1st round with so many blowouts. Which 5-8 seed (besides Indy) do you guys think is the 1st to win a game??

    Probably Boston or Portland. Last year we had quite a few blowouts. 3 4-0 series and 2 4-1 series.

    I still cant help but feel like the C's got hosed in that tiebreaker. 3-0 vs the Heat on the season and both finish with 48-34 and we're the 5 and they are the 3.

    Love to be playing the Bobcats right now.

    As long as we dont get hosed in the lottery again, I'll call it even.

    curry is questionable for tonight's game with ankle issues. they should probably rest him, as i think they can get by houston without him. but i have a feeling they're gonna play him anyway, even if he doesn't play the amount of minutes he normally does

    Whiteside got robbed of DPOTY...who else gets triple doubles with blocks? I think that him not starting for portions of the season is what killed him in that vote. Heat need to keep him

    He really only blocks shots on D, and his pick and roll defense wasn't great until the end of the season when he finally decided not to fall back into the paint when you have guys shooting deep threes. He's got a real shot in the coming years, but Kawhi and Draymond definitely deserved it over him this year. They guard 1-5 and tend to lock down whoever they guard.

    And lol at the Thunder. Kevin Durant is playing like he doesn't wanna sign anywhere. 7-33???? You kidding me KD? He's still not gonna get ridiculed for how bad he plays down the stretch in games this year, but he's been awful and so has his team. The game was handed to them when Felton choked away two FT's but they all clogged down low on a fast break and hardly had a clean look at the basket. I still think they win the series, but they're not a contender until KD figures it out and starts playing like an MVP again.

    I didn't expect the Celtics to play so badly, this is awful. I thought loosing Bradley would make the difference but they don't even look into a playoff game. & Dennis Schroder just injured his ankle pretty bad, I think it was his ankle.

    That was hard to watch. Not like ATL played particularly well either. We held them scoreless for over 5 minutes and still only managed to put up 6 points. Well into the 4th quarter and we have 54 points? 54? This team needs to do some serious soul searching the next few days because if they take one in Boston, it's over.

    Celtics 7 points in the 1st quarter is the lowest of any quarter in any playoff game in NBA history since the 1950s, think they said 1954 although I'm not 100% sure on the exact year.
