With the playoffs approaching lets talk some basketball.

Some news from recently:

- Lakers beat Chicago to take 8th seed in the West.

- Durants 23 pts and 10 rebs get the Thunder their 5th win in a row against the Cetics.

- Raptors beat Cavs, Kyrie Irving injures shoulder.

- Magic gave the 76ers their 5th straight loss.

- Suns beat Rockets even though Harden gets 38 pts.

Aaron Gordon somehow lost the dunk contest last night after this dunk.

The dunk contest has become a joke. Fun to watch, but they hand out 50s way too easily. Completely ruins the whole thing.

I've thought the dunk contest outdated for years but last night's was the best since Dominique & Michael. 

And why Gordon lost is the reason it's outlived its relevance; it's all opinion. I agree that Gordon's "Lazy Boy" dunk was the single best dnnk of the night but just the sheer number of great dunks that both guys made, and almost all on the 1st attempt, was incredible.

And then the drama of the 3 pt contest added in made last night one of the better Saturday night's in All-Star history.

I'd agree with that. Didn't catch the entire 3pt contest, but the dunk contest was the best in a while.

Congrats to the Raptors for shedding some of their playoff choking credentials but be sure and credit the blind ref who didn't see Mahinmi fly across the lane :D

Yes that was a pretty bad non-call. But good on the Raps. The series vs. the Heat should be fun.

Sweep or can Toronto win a game or 2? 

I assume everyone wants Cavs/Warriors rematch. Does anyone prefer the Thunder to upset Golden State?

Alright.. this Toronto/Cleveland Game 4 is giving me anxiety. Raptors blew an 18 point lead, now the two are exchanging baskets with 3:30 left. Raptors up by 2. PLS.

Hell yessssss. They did it! 2-2! Insane defense by the Raptors in the last half of Q4. Such an important game. Now they've got a legit shot at going to the NBA Finals, which is ******* insane! If they lost this, it was done.

If Toronto wins the Eastern Conference Finals, I will laugh my ass off at how bad the Cavaliers are.

The playoffs have officially become interesting now. Only a week or so ahead of schedule.

Raptors are playing with house money now. 

Is Biyombo this year's Tristan Thompson?

Good performance from the Raptors. Nice seeing them fight to the end. Great season.

I hope Golden State wins tomorrow so we get a game 7.

Thank you Cavs for freeing Sunday up.

Thoughts on the NBA finals


  • I expect Golden State to win. They just have more versatile players and thus ways to win.
  • but they have more pressure to validate the 73 win season
  • will Durant dress down Sam Presti for not acquiring a true playmaker for crunch time because Westbrook just doesn't get it: he is the secondary star.

and this is just hilarious if you're a fan of both the NBA and Game of Thrones (TV show)

@mulefloyd Golden State will repeat.  They are just that damn good.  And Durant is going to bolt from OKC.  He can't win with Westbrook and he isn't going to stay on a team that won't trade for a playmaker that can feed him the ball.  And I doubt he will want to stay in the Western Conference, because there is no way he can get to an NBA Finals again without going through Golden State (unless he joins them).

Durant went to Golden State.. 

That's not even a fair team.

That's what everyone said in 2011 (Lebron's 1st year with the Heat) as well but I agree it seems wrong going to the team that knocked you out of the playoffs. Can you imagine if Lebron had went to the Celtics? Next year will definitely be different.

bump

The NBA season is coming around the bend again and the Celtics are actually looking like a serious contender this time.  I just hope that someone steps up as a star alongside Horford and Thomas.  It would be nice if Bradley, Brown, or Crowder could become that #3 star on the team without having to trade for it, since there is no one that wants all those god damn draft picks Boston got from Brooklyn.
