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

[Big Boss]

The leagues basically become a 3 point shooting contest and the team that shoots better then 3 wins. And if one team is on from 3 and the other is off you're gonna have a blowout

Shyt has been horrible ... just indicative of the "new NBA."

Competitors don't just lie down .


The "new NBA," brethren

There was a point in Game 3 where there was a 2 on 1 fastbreak and Curry passed the ball to a streaking THompson, who ran from the paint back to the 3 point line and jacked up a shot with a man jumping in his face

Why are NBA teams so bad on the road? As a professional basketball player why would playing on the road make such a difference in the effectiveness on your play? Are MLB & NFL teams getting consistently destroyed in games just because they aren't on their home turf?

Yeah that play was the epitome of why games are hard to watch these days. So many times even in the half court a player will be streaking to the basket for a layup and twist awkwardly to throw a pass to the 3pt line.

Now it's 20 games

it's like at some point during the game they like ah fukk it we'll win next game

 

[ikbm]

That's a ridiculous stat....part of me blames the 3 pointer for that. When teams get up 15+ I feel like the team that's up take more care free 3 pointers...all the bench role players that come in when the game is already in hand just take a bunch of 3s anyway...see the cavs game where they made 25 of them shyts.
Or teams are just laying down and dying

 

[Vilhena]

Funny, cuz the NBA was seriously considering a 4 point line. I think they may think this through.

 

[LEEeveryday]

Vegas got the betters confused...

this shyt is so rigged

 

[Big Boss]

Hopefully we don't get another one tonight

Pretty lame how almost every game's been decided by halftime...its def the worst playoffs I remember watching in some time. Only good series was OCK vs. GS

Exactly. You can't get a feel for the games and that's mad suspect. Like earlier the Cavs couldn't shine the Dubs' shoes. Now after adjustments the Dubs can't do anything at all. If the Dubs win game 7 then none of that will matter. If the Cavs win game 7 it will feel right, but thats only because the Dubs didnt win games 5 and 6, in which case it would've been expected. Basketball isn't really a game of trash or not trash. The point differentials really shouldn't be this high every single game from closely matched teams imo.

fukkery and drama along with a game 7 coming has saved this series.

These games have been awful from a competitive standpoint.

Lets hope game 7 is a good one.
