1st Round Playoff Exits
I like what the blazers doing. Idk if long term Stotts is the right coach to get yall over the hump. Lillard still a demon for what he did to my Rockets though :damn:

Far as the Clippers go....you think they could push GS to 7? Paul and Blake coming off injuries. Redikk gotta be consistent throughout that series. And who's guarding Klay and KD?
My condolences for your rockets, this season is about to be rough. Idk how the fukk y'all stumbled into the playoffs last season....

Anyways Scotts is a good and smart coach. This cat will do just about anything, by the book,to win. But I gotta see where they go with Meyers Leonard and a few other pieces. Just about everyone is starting get paid on that roster and they're all eager to win....I just don't understand some of the rotations yet because theyre so stacked. It's almost like I could see them trading for someone real big before the deadline...

What I'm looking early in the season is how Meyers Leonard and Ed davis are integrated. Does Amino play 4 or 3. Does Evan TurnUp start or comeoff the bench. How is shabazz integrated as backup pg....

There's a lot questions and things I'm looking for. But the blazers are stacked. I'm trying figure out everyone gets adequate playing time. But one thing is for sure, if / when injuries come, they'll keep on trucking like nothing....


As far as the clips....
I got luc on kd. Like I said earlier, nobody can stop kd. There'are just certain shots he's going get. But if you can get in his way and make it harder for him in anyway to get comfortable that's your best bet. Luc can steal passes and catch mundane slip ups to force turnovers...and that's all you can really ask.

As far as klay, Reddikk should be OK. He's a decent defender. But this goes, both ways for gs, because cp3 can give curry that work, so if gs pulls up and puts klay on cp3, Reddikk can tire the fukk out of curry coming off shots. If gs puts curry on Reddikk, expect curry to clobbered by screens....

And against Blake or dj should be food

So we're both different teams this year, but over the last 4 seasons, we've beaten the Clips 12 out of the 16 regular season games. I'm with @SchoolboyC: I can see them getting a decent seeding, but not more than that...

People still falling for the Jazz hype :mjlol:

Y'all gone learn atleast one superstar is needed nowadays to win it all:ufdup:
Yeah they have a 2nd round ceiling with this core. They don't have a potential top 10 player on the roster. I struggle to get excited about the next Grizzlies...

That game doesn't matter anymore, the last few years the Clippers have gotten their shyt pushed in by Durant, they don't have anyone to defend him and the Warriors can just go with a steady diet of KD going at Paul Pierce, Wesley Johnson or Mbah Moute.




It wont be much of a contest between the two.

have a deep feeling in my gut that utah is gonna be on the path of the 13-14 warriors.

they're fukking STACKED top to bottom and their players haven't broken out into superstardom yet.

hill / hood / hayward / hood / gobert :damn:

exum / burcs / lyles / jj / diaw :damn:

this year they're gonna barely sneak by the spurs in the first round like the clips did the warriors in the 2014 first round. :wow:

next year they're gonna be coming for the crown :demonic:.



I agree strongly

I'm max betting Utah Jazz Over 47.5 wins

Utah and the Knicks are easy money. Vegas has the Knicks at 37.5 I think. They're the fukking Knicks, something will go wrong and they'll waste another season but that core is winning 40 easy.
