Golden State, Houston, San Antonio, Chicago, Washington and Cleveland are all 2-0 over Portland, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Boston, Atlanta and Indiana, so far...

Who will end up 3-0 and who will end up 0-3?

LA Clippers, Utah, Toronto and Milwaukee are 1-1 each, so far...

Who will end up 2-1 and who will end up 1-2?

irehtman · 04-21-2017, 12:28 PM

Cleveland Cavaliers are leading in the NBA playoffs with 3-0, while both Milwaukee Bucks and San Antonio Spurs are following with 2-1, so far...

I saw the Thursday game of the Cavs vs Pacers...The Cavaliers were trailing up until the last minute...will this be their tactic?

1960'sTVfan · 04-22-2017, 04:37 PM

The Jazz chances of advancing past the Clippers were already slim, but without Rudy Gobert in the lineup their chances are zero.

irehtman · 04-22-2017, 08:44 PM

If the Spurs win, then they will be following the Cavs.

If the Grizzlies win, then both Raptors-Bucks and Spurs-Grizzlies will be both 2-2.

irehtman · 04-24-2017, 07:56 AM

The Cavs are taking it easy now waiting for the Raptors-Bucks round to finish.

The Clippers-Jazz, Spurs-Grizzlies, Celtics-Bulls and Raptors-Bucks rounds are tied in 2-2, so far...

MrCleveland · 04-24-2017, 02:16 PM

Cavs swept...looks like the Cavs had a good tactic...not overdoing it in the regular season....

simmytbone · 04-25-2017, 01:33 AM

Hey guys,

The 2 teams that have met in the NBA Finals for the past couple of years have swept their opponents in the 1st rounds of the playoffs

The Cleveland Cavaliers (who won their 1st NBA Title last year) lead by LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love have swept Paul George and the Indiana Pacers

This is the 2nd straight year that the Cavs have swept their opponents in the 1st round since LeBron's Return in Cleveland and the 1st time in franchise history that the Pacers have been swept in the Playoffs

Meanwhile....

The Golden State Warriors (who won their 1st NBA Title in 40 years 2 years ago) also swept their opponents in a 7-game series for the 3rd time in franchise history

In 1975, they swept Washington and 40 years later, they swept the New Orleans Pelicans lead by Anthony Davis for the 1st round and now, 2 years later, they sweep the Portland Trail Blazers lead by Damian Lillard

This is also the 2nd time that the Blazers have been swept in a Best of 7 Series

18 years ago, the Blazers got swept by the San Antonio Spurs lead by the Twin Towers of David Robinson and Tim Duncan who would go on to win their 1st NBA Title in Franchise History and the 1st ABA team to win an NBA Title

and now, the Cavs will await the winner of the match between the Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks while the Warriors await the winner of the match between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz and all 4 teams are tied @ 2 games a piece

The Clippers would LOVE to win this series so they can face the Warriors in a rematch from 2014

irehtman · 04-25-2017, 09:46 AM

So the warriors are the 2nd one to enter the next round while being Kerr-plunked at the same time.

The Raptors and rockets are about to be the next ones to advance.

irehtman · 04-27-2017, 08:27 AM

Interesting to see these 3-2 teams currently:

* Utah Jazz
* San Antonio Spurs
* Washington Wizards
* Toronto Raptors
* Boston Celtics

MrCleveland · 04-27-2017, 01:33 PM

I'd like to see how far the Utah Jazz can advance...as well as The Cavaliers.

irehtman · 04-27-2017, 02:02 PM

The Cavaliers are going to watch tonight's Raptor-Buck game to see who are they facing next...
