The Basketball Thread

My team is the Heat, but I have been impressed by the Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzles.

Reggie GOAT Jackson! Carried OKC whilst Durant had one of his worst outings ever.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Not really got a favourite but have soft spots for Washington, Houston and Clippers.

My hometown team, Pacers and my favorite team, Chicago.

Durant had 3 points at HT :lol:

You guys hear about Sterling's comments on minorities?

Disgraceful. David West tweet summed it up the best:

David West ‏@D_West30 8h

Sterling basically articulated Plantation Politics...Make money off the Bucks/Lay with the Women/No Association in Public good or bad

Durant and Westbrook 11-45 combined and OKC still won.

Btw wtf is up with Kidd Gildchrist's shooting form? So awkward

Key part: “Why are you taking pictures with minorities? Why?” Stiviano, who is of black and Latin heritage, replies: “People call you and tell you that I have black people on my Instagram, and it bothers you?” Sterling: “Yeah, it bothers me a lot that you want to promo… broadcast that you’re associating with black people.”

Wow, ridiculous!

How can such a stupid human being be allowed to own a Basketball franchise (of all sports)...

I havnt been following the playoffs but curry is ripping clippers. Very good shooter off the dribble

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Durant and Westbrook 11-45 combined and OKC still won.

They had bad games, (again) but this time somebody stepped up and started making shots, happy with the win yesterday, will probably go 7 games anyway. I doubt KD will have 3 straight poor shooting performances, and honestly, i just want this series to be over. It's painful playing against the Grizzles, even from the couch!

What a series Dallas-Spurs is shaping up to be,, Honestly should be 3-0 Mavs, if only they didn't bottle it in the first game. Hate those spurs, sooner their out the better. Although i think OKC vs Spurs is a better match-up for us than vs Mavs. The phrase about the playoffs being about match-ups couldn't be more honest than this post-season here. Teams got matched up with thier equals across the board, and it's showing as every series goes to 2-2/2-1 (Bar Wizards and Heat). Best post-season in years honestly.

Raptors of course!

Also cheering for some upsets, especially Memphis and Dallas. Memphis cause I dont like OKC much and Dallas because of my all time favourite player, Vince Carter.

People shouldn't be surprised about the Spurs, father time is catching up to their foundation.

Once Duncan retires, you can bet both Manu and Pop to retire as well.

Curry might have the best jumpshot like in NBA history....If only he had strong ankles.

Best pure shooter ever"! Or Ray Allen.

Did anyone watch the Rockets/Blazers game? Insane.

BANANAS! UNBELIEVABLE!

[Sheva. 5,373]

Best series so far, that.

But Rockets really can't play defense lol, and it's even worse when Aldridge moves Howard from the paint.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Not only the Rockets - Blazers series, but almost every series has had some classics. Best 1st round of all time easily, especially in the west.
