OT - NBA Playoffs Open Thread

8pm - LA Clippers @ Golden State - ABC
10:30pm - San Antonio @ Denver - ESPN
Man I miss the nba playoffs of the 90s and early 2000s. There is literally going to be no drama in any of these series.
First round series during that time were also best of 5, not best of 7. Easier for upsets to occur with fewer games needed to win.
But I disagree with your last statement. Other than Milwaukee-Detroit, GS-LAC, and Orlando-Toronto, I see a lot of potential 6-7 game series. Other than the three series I mentioned, I expect every other team to win at least 2 games in their series. Brooklyn is already about to go into half with a double digit lead on the road against a stacked team. Lots of drama this year IMO.
Lol what?
The East is wide open without Lebron.
Wait, those were the worst two decades for NBA playoffs!?!
You could always pencil in the Bulls and then the Shaq-Kobe Lakers or Spurs (2004 excepted).
Still think there will be no drama?
Thanks for alerting us; will look in.
Go anybody but Golden State!!!
Let's go Raptors! If there ever was a time to win, it's now. Bad man Lebron cant hurt us anymore plus that Kawhi guy is pretty good I guess.
Pulling for the Raptors. I hope Kawhi realizes how good of a situation he is in Toronto and stays
I think it's possible he stays if they make the Finals. Anything less, and he's headed to the Clippers.
Sixers losing in the first round would be epitome Brett Brown. Such a lack of competitive spirit on this team.
Damn Caris is lighting up the 76ers with 23 pts, 4 rebs, and 2 ast
Philly made their run and the Nets withstood it.
Raptors and Magic in a tight game. Magic had a 16 point lead late into the second quarter and the raptors went on a late run to pull within 8 at halftime. Could be the difference in the game
The playoffs will be fun this year.
