NBA: ***Official 2017-2018 Playoffs Thread***

Most every NBA players complain a **** ton, but you're right with these two. LeBron is up there, too, obviously.
I hope Green gets traded to some miserably awful team within a few years.
Green is great but I can't stand watching him play, total d bag. He shouldn't complain about the refs at all, he fouls nearly every possession on defense.
I don't think that's been much of a secret for a long time now. And it'll be the Warriors. They are just too much for anyone to keep up with for 7 games
Their roster is just incredible. Better than the Big 3 Heat days in my opinion.
If they play defense like that, nope. And if Durant stays motivated. Sweep is imminent if they play like tonight.
Yeah, I think they'll take at least one. Nobody other than Harden played very well for the Rockets last night. They'll have a hot shooting night somewhere along the way, but I still like the Warriors in five or six. Just too good when they're all healthy. And I think it's funny how everyone tends to forget just how good Kevin Durant is during the regular season. He whines a little too much for my liking, but he's the best offensive player in the game today - yeah, even better than Harden.

NBA draft lottery tonight! If the Lakers get the 2-5 pick, it goes to the friggin' Celtics. How good is Danny Ainge?

Golden St is going to win back to back titles without having to really go all out. The Durant-Curry pick and roll is basically unstoppable yet Golden St uses that very sparingly. They have never gotten pushed to the point where they are running that over and over, it's like Kerr pulls out just what is needed at the time to win.
Agreed. I think that with Durant they're even good enough to survive a Klay Thompson injury or a Draymond Green suspension if he hauls off and punches James Harden in the crotch or something. When you have arguably three of the best ten players in the league and for sure four of the best twenty it's going to take something pretty catastrophic for you to not win the championship.
I wish more refs would have the guts to toss him. Even last night, he wouldn't shutup after getting a "T" within the first few minutes. He kept complaining in a manner that would get most people T'd up quickly. It's exhausting to watch him complain. He's about the least likable basketball player I can ever remember.
As someone stated before, I hope he gets traded to a bad team and is exposed for the mediocre player on an all-time great roster he is.
Yeah..he's not a mediocre player at all. He's the key to their whole defensive scheme.
And I think I even need the smallest of sample sizes to prove that, I feel pretty confident in saying anyone who puts up anything close to a 32/15/9 line in a Finals Game 7, win or lose, is not a mediocre player.
And their defensive scheme is what is gonna kill the rockets. Rockets struggled to get good looks, warriors not so much.
Warriors will win in 5 against the Rockets and will sweep the Celtics in the finals. Going to be a boring few weeks in the NBA to close things out.
