NBA Playoffs: Western Conference - First Round Thread

[Spriteftw3]

Saw that this morning on the way to work, solid read.

Did I mention we should never have made that trade?

I dont know why not? He doesn't run the floor well at all, not athletic. Cant play on the offensive end at all. Its not like you are missing out on a whole lot.

Slam Dunk McKinnon I believe...

wouldnt have been anstey. dont think ive ever seen him dunk

What about Leon "Above the Rim" Trimmingham?

On a serious note, anyone taking the $3.05 for the Mavs to get the W today?

Yes indeedy....

I also got on them for biggest winning margin of the day @ 10.00! Portland were the favourite in that category (couldnt work that one out)

Have you seen our rebounding lately? Getting destroyed by one of the worst in the league. So far Jeff Green has added nothing that we couldn't have picked up by trading Quis, Nate, Gody and Erden in some sort of package, and Nenad is a non-factor in the playoffs. Rebounding was a weakness when we had Perk, trading away our best rebounder, while giving more minutes at the 5 to our worst (Fat Mamba) and adding Green at the 4 (tuuuuurrrible reb numbers) is the only reason the Knicks have been close so far.

Wrong thread I am aware.

Sounds like you should trade for Bargnani brah.

Is he an elite rebounder tho to justify keeping him around for the money he would of wanted? Like he is just about getting out rebounded by a terrible one in Nene.

What a start by the Blazers. Loving the crowd too.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Nice start by Portland.

 

[Dez!]

Wesley Matthews is on fire.

4/4 from downtown already and there's still 6:22 left in the first.

Go Blazers!

 

[silverscope]

Wes Matthews on FIRE!!!

Also see Patty sprint to him after the 4th shot!!

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Wes Matthews is feeling it

Would like to see Crash get into the second round. Go Blazers

 

[Starlin Castro]

Wes Matthews 4/4 from 3. WOW

 

[Dez!]

Again Matthews with a long 2, already has 14 points in 7 minutes.

WOWIE!!!!!!!!

 

[silverscope]

edit: Nevermind.

 

[jonesy86]

Blazers O looks horrible with no PG

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Brendan Haywood. Team Role: 6 Hard Fouls. LOL.

 

[silverscope]

Roy is heating up.

It will be interesting to see if the Blazers can keep this intensity up for the whole game.

 

[Hodges]

Dirk averaging 26/11 over his playoff career, big numbers from the Wurzburg product.

 

[hans moleman]

McHale hit the nail on the head - with the game lacking Game 2's transition and becoming a half-court battle, a lot is gonna depend on how the Blazers defend the pick and roll. Terry in particular has been able to turn the corner and get into the lane a bit too easily.

Also see Patty sprint to him after the 4th shot!!

lol I noticed that too...that's the fastest I've seen anyone move this season.

 

[wirra44]

Great to see Roy playing well for the blazers 16pts in 15mins

 

[d0gs]

Brendan Haywood. Team Role: 6 Hard Fouls.

Did LOL at this, really love his shooting from the line also.

Good to see Roy hit a few shots, did Mills get ANY minutes at all?

 

[peternorth]

roy's tears have gotten him minutes

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Jose Juan Barea looked lost out there.

His handling of the rock at the end of the 3rd and start of the 4th killed any momentum the Mavs had a chance of building.
