WTF is up with all these Blowouts in the NBA Playoffs?

[AAKing23]

It's all the 3's. Volume three-point shooting is a high-variance strategy. More risk, more reward, much bigger spreads.

Good point

 

[Big Boss]

It's easy


Whoever puts the ball in the hoop, wins the game

 

[///Vega+++]

shyt is getting old forreal

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

easily the worst playoffs in NBA history

 

[LEEeveryday]

They throwing them Vegas betters off...

...can't make it TOO obvious who is planned to win..

 

[Monoblock]

Yea I have to agree. The majority of these games have been trash and over in the first half.
The Cavs are up by 41 points now

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I watch on average 1 and a half quarters of each game now

I think you're on to something here.

Nah cuz Cleveland destroyed Toronto in Games 1 and 2 almost entirely playing in the paint. And I don't think OKC shoots very many either.

 

[director_of_bands]

yeah I stopped planning around these games...no more rushing to the crib for this sht....just gonna stream mobile while moving around town

 

[Piff Perkins]

Only blowouts I enjoy are when GS is getting blown out, since you know their offense is great enough to come back quickly. The rest of these games have been trash tho.

[Brozay]

yeah, i usually dont miss many games, but I havent bothered to turn on most this year, blowout after blowout

hopefully Finals are better, OKC & Cleveland match up nicely I think, so Im optimistic

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I agree for the most part but didn't the cavs punish the raptors in game 1&2 with points in the paint?

That was because the Raptors were busy guarding the 3-pt line and giving the Cavs uncontested shots at the rim.

Dawg, the 73-9 Golden State Warriors are getting curb stomped by 20+
OKC lost by 30 in San Antonio and won the series



How are these teams looking this awful in a series? It's like they got to the arena and have no clue who their opponent is. These conference finals series are 4 games in (9 total with this CLE game tonight) and damn near everyone has been a shyt show.

the refs are controlling the games, look at ft attempts and i'll bet you its lopsided
