NBA Playoffs 2018! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well...

...with the NBA Playoffs at the first round...Boston, Toronto, Golden State, and New Orleans are 2-0. I hope the Cleveland Cavaliers can win tonight, otherwise...the Cavs are in jeopardy!

LeBron James may leave, but if he does...James isn't like how he used to be.

I try to watch some of the games but I think some NBA games are rigged by the referees.

Perfect example was the game last night vs. Utah and OKC. While it's true Utah choked away a 25 point lead, the refs had a hand in that happening by calling phantom fouls on both Gobert and Favors, putting both of them in foul trouble and forcing them out of the game, which took away Utah's defense up front and allowed Westbook and George to run wild on offense and erase that 25 point deficit in quick order. The game was a joke, the refs basically handed it to OKC.

OKC is a dirty team with thugs on the roster. Russell Westbrook is a thug, Paul George is a thug. I hope Utah kicks their ass in the next game and sends them packing, but will see what happens.

Cavs and Pacers Game 6 is ****!

The Cleveland Can'ts are under 30 point which I think in unnecessary!

The Cleveland Can'ts are done! LeBron, I don't blame you for leaving or retiring besides, we'll always have 2016!

I don't want to ruin your anger, but the series is only tied, and game 7 is in Cleveland.

I just wish that it's like that "OMG, we're done for" but get saved at the last second scenario...

That's right, you have 2016 so in the event the Cavs fail this year, I don't think you should worry about it too much. There are many people who have yet to see their favorite team win a championship.

Utah almost choked away game 6, but they managed to hang on and send the OKC thugs home for the summer. The Oklahoma team should have stayed in Seattle. I liked them better when they were the Sonics.

Utah vs. Houston now, I don't expect the Jazz to win the series but hopefully they can make it interesting. Utah went 29-6 to finish the season, which calculates to 68 wins over the course of an 82 game season. Houston had 65 wins this season. Could be an interesting series but will see what happens. Utah needs Ricky Rubio in the lineup, hopefully the hamstring injury he currently has isn't too serious.

Donovan Mitchell is awesome, if he stays healthy and keeps his head on straight, he's going to have an amazing NBA career. He's 2018's rookie of the year as far as I'm concerned. I just hope he stays with the Jazz. He says he loves Utah and likes playing there, but will have to see what happens when his contract is up and he's a free agent. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually ends up playing for the Lakers.

And...

Game 7 was that dramatic save for Cleveland! I wonder if Toronto will be like that or...well we do have a young team and LeBron James, so...

1960'sTVfan · 04-30-2018, 09:17 AM

Indiana tried to put up a fight, but no way was LeBron James going to lose a 1st round 7th game at home, he wasn't going to be denied.

Cleveland vs. Toronto, should be an interesting series and Toronto has the advantage, but LeBron James still plays at a high level so the series could go either way.

Utah vs. Houston, without Ricky Rubio on the floor running the offense, Utah has zero chance in the series. It will either be a Houston sweep or Utah might get lucky and win a game. If Rubio plays, the series might get a little more interesting but will see what happens.

Regardless of what happens with these playoffs, Utah looks to have a bright future with Donovan Mitchell, he will just continue to improve as a player. During the off season, Utah might want to consider a change at the power forward spot. I like Derrick Favors, but he's inconsistent, plays good in some games and a non factor in others, he's not a good free throw shooter either. If Julius Randle from the Lakers would be available, Utah might want to consider signing Randle and letting Favors go. Randle is a few years younger and I would consider Randle as an upgrade over Favors.

Surprised to see Utah win tonight at Houston, but this has been the Jazz pattern, in 3 out of their last 4 playoff series they've lost game 1 but then came back to win game 2.

Donovan Mitchell at point guard while Ricky Rubio is out, Mitchell didn't have a great shooting night but he got other guys involved, Joe Ingles was a hot shooter tonight with 27 points. Series goes to Utah now for games 3 and 4. Donovan Mitchell might be a rookie but he's a confident player and he transfers that confidence to his teammates.

I predict that Houston Rockets can likely beat the Utah Jazz in either 5 or 6 before moving onto the Western Confernce Finals. As For the Eastern Side of the Confernce Semis, Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors can go to 6 games while Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers can possibly go to 7 games.

1960'sTVfan · 05-03-2018, 01:08 PM

With Ricky Rubio not able to play, I figured Houston would sweep Utah or the series might go five games. With Utah winning yesterday and evening the series, it changes my thinking a little. Odds are Houston will still win the series but will see what happens.

Bonniegirl · 05-03-2018, 11:53 PM

CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!!!

WOO HOO !!!! Good win today!!!!

Philly WTF????

They had it in the beginning of this game but than let Boston run all over them today!!!!

1960'sTVfan · 05-04-2018, 09:15 AM

I'm not a Cavs fan but as long as LeBron James is still there and playing at a high level, they are a dangerous team.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's Cavs vs. Warriors again in the finals this year.

Not what I would want to see, but I think it's a real possibility.

I'm surprised on how the Cavaliers are doing...but if it's Cleveland vs Golden State again...it'll go either way.
