it's THE 'OFFS 2014: last chance to wear yr Bobcats gear

kevin & lagoon like the raptors
i like the wizards
kevin, cad & lagoon like the blazers
dayo likes the warriors

I almost chose the Raptors... they looked good from the games my friend the Canadian and I watched

Valanciunas is a beast

i seriously haven't seen the raptors play at all this year so i have hard time mentally getting over the hurdle that they're not just the raptors, despite all smart NBA people assuring us that they are indeed a dangerous team

we all seem to be in general agreement about every series except portland vs houston?

tbh i just picked portland so id have an upset in there

raptors have v good ball movement which i feel is a good predictor of playoff success

Yeah Grievis does a good job, and I feel Derozan and Ross are two big X factors who could either go off in the playoffs or just shit the bed

Also Lowry is back

i think the raptors will definitely make it a series but i'm leaning towards the nets' veteran experience :-/

yeah my pick def comes in part from not having seen the raps very much but i think brooklyn is just going to be tough to play against in a playoff atmosphere.

as far as houston there's just something about that team i don't like, idk if portland will be the team to expose it but a guy can hope.

Haven't watched the raps either. Or the nets tbf, since bropez went down.

i've seen too much of the nets considering my locale

they're a good team but i think their chances of making the east finals are being overplayed a bit

Yeah Nets Raps feels like a classic 'youth v experience' narrative, who knows

portland-houston should be a bonkers series either way tho

feel like if pat bev can shut down lillard portland has no chance

is he healthy?

the one interesting thing about that series is whether the rockets switch dwight onto LA

aldridge plays so far away from the basket that it would totally invert houston's defensive system, but on the other hand i feel like he would destroy terrence jones

he got hurt but then he came back, i'm assuming he's fine xp

i think it will be interesting to see if portland plays batum at the 4 a bunch

Pat Bev will be back but yeah he has a partially torn meniscus no?

PDX really turned it back around once LMA came back didn't they

So do we think Blake will get two more techs in this series and have to sit out another game?

resets for the playoffs no

IND v ATL — Pacers in 6
MIA v CHA — Heat in 4
TOR v BKN — Nets in 7
CHI v WAS — Bulls in 5

SAS v DAL — Spurs in 5
OKC v MEM — GRIZZ in 7
LAC v GSW — Clips 6
HOU v POR — Blazers in 7

WE HAVE A LIVE ONE Y'ALL. Grizz over OKC huh

there is no chance of that happening

I don't care, want to see ZBo & Gasol going to do +20 damage to Orc Durant, gonna be uuuugly.

Man I would love The Grizz over OKC

sorry kev

bad coaching is the wild card in that series tbh

hahaha whaaat

Jackie MacMullan says Kobe told her last yr that Dwight Howard would stay in LA "Over my dead body." Calls it the "NBA's dirty secret."

(1) IND v. (8) ATL Indy in 4 lol hawks
(2) MIA v. (7) CHA Miami in 5 big al beasts out one game
(3) TOR v. (6) BKN Brooklyn in 6 good luck usa
(4) CHI v. (5) WAS Chicago in 5 joakim eats john walls face

(1) SAS v. (8) DAL Spurs in 5 target practice sry dirk
(2) OKC v. (7) MEM OKC in 7 grind grind grind
(3) LAC v. (6) GSW Clippers in 5 curry goes berserk one game otherwise cp goes all forgot abt dre on them
(4) HOU v. (5) POR Blazers in 7 lots of howard-harden finger pointing

I'm glad the tipping series here is HOU v POR but I seem to be on the wrong side of justice

Calls it the "NBA's dirty secret."

lotta raps picks

― call all destroyer, Thursday, April 17, 2014

that seems absurd to me, solely based on the scientifically-proven "there are many aging but once awesome players on the nets, and the raptors were supposed to tank after (or even before) trading rudy gay" metric.

couple of griz picks in there too

the only metric ever proposed about the Rudy Gay trade was exactly how much better the raps would be without him

wow only one person likes the wiz! damn

the bulls have been a legit good team since the deng trade

I will be wrong. This is not in doubt. But I will play the game and lose graciously.

(1) IND v. (8) ATL ---- IND in 5
(2) MIA v. (7) CHA --- MIA in 5
(3) TOR v. (6) BKN --- TOR in 7
(4) CHI v. (5) WAS --- CHI in 6

(1) SAS v. (8) DAL ---- SAS in 4
(2) OKC v. (7) MEM --- OKC in 5
(3) LAC v. (6) GSW --- LAC in 6
(4) HOU v. (5) POR --- POR in 7

is this our general chatter thread b/c lol the Knicks signed Lamar Odom officially the day after the season ended, I totally dgi

from what i understand it was so they could secure a non-guaranteed option for next season

and get him into their "program" or whatever ASAP

crack cocaine rehab

Xp He sucked at the end of his suns run too. Was a very frustrating player.

Pacers gross me out a little tbh. They come off as dudes who spend all their time watching porn.

THE GLAZED DONUT FACE-OFF -- spurs! heat! it's the NBA finals 2014, where little fatasses happen

lol hurting, how did you come to that conclusion

watching or starring in
