I wasn't all that impressed with Portland in their series. They made a lot of mistakes and were sloppy and allowed the Clippers to hang around without putting them away. The Clippers forced the ball out of Lillard's hands and forced the role players to make shots and it really gave them a shot at winning. Even without Steph, they can win this in 6 games.A bit of a shame the only game today was an absolute butt smacking.
I hope the Spurs continue to crush these guys.
Intriguing games tomorrow. GS vs POR without Steph, wow.
You call it a shame.... I call it basketball viewing gold! lolA bit of a shame the only game today was an absolute butt smacking.

They are Charlotte. They have never been a great shooting team.Jefferson, Kaminsky, Kemba combined 8/38 fg ouch
Whiteside was ridiculous. He was altering shots, contesting shots and blocking shots. Boxscore doesn't quite show good he was in this game on the defensive end.They are Charlotte. They have never been a great shooting team.
What a clutch game by the heat. Dragic was awesome.
@exzibit3 He is Hassan Whiteside. He'll never get noticed other centers like Andre Drummond, Boogie Cousins, etc. mainly because of how his career played out up to his time at Miami (I mean, I want his jersey collection). He is one of, if not the most underrated centers in the NBA, and Miami need to make a play for him to keep his talents in South Beach.
He is a one of a kind shot blocker, and I'm interested to see how his career fares out.
Did you watch the game? He wasn't always engaged defensively in some games in the regular season and when he wasn't, Spoz did take him out. I watched the game and he really was exceptional defensively especially when the Heat were blowing the game wide open, and even contributed a couple of dunks to fuel the run.Not sure if I am alone, but I am not sold on Whiteside.
Its easy to read block on a stat sheet and assume they are great defenders.
No not this game I didn't, but I did watch the last game and saw him struggle in one on one D. Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't seen it yet.Did you watch the game?

The Warriors are extremely lucky this postseason, now with the Blazers.
I will say though, if the rumors are true and Blazers do go after Whiteside this off season.. look out if they do sign him.
Obviously he is referring to them not having to play the Clippers with Blake and CP3Steph Curry is injured, man those Warriors are lucky.
I don't really understand your post.
They finished no.1 in the West, which should see them play the weakest team of each round up until the Conference Finals. Their MVP is injured and they're still winning.
That's what I was saying, that kind of fell in their lap with LA and Portland isn't strong enough to beat them even without Curry in the majority of the series. If GS had to play the Spurs or the Thunder right now, they'd be done for.Obviously he is referring to them not having to play the Clippers with Blake and CP3
Agreed, but as Benny said, by earning the #1 seed, they create their own luck by ensuring they always get the lower seed through to the finals.That's what I was saying, that kind of fell in their lap with LA and Portland isn't strong enough to beat them even without Curry in the majority of the series.

To win a title, you need a few things going your way; health, the right matchups, skills and luck. It's just the way it is. Would Cleveland have possibly won last year had they been healthy instead of losing Love and Kyrie? Would the Spurs have won another championship if Ray didn't make that back peddling 3 pointer after a fortunate bounce for Bosh to get the offensive board? What if the ball had bounced in the opposite direction?That's what I was saying, that kind of fell in their lap with LA and Portland isn't strong enough to beat them even without Curry in the majority of the series.
