2015 NBA Playoffs

[soccer10k]

Matchups are set:

 

1. Golden State vs. 8. New Orleans

2. Houston vs. 7. Dallas

3. Los Angeles vs. 6. San Antonio

4. Portland vs. 5. Memphis (Memphis has home court)

 

1. Atlanta vs. 8. Brooklyn

2. Cleveland vs. 7. Boston

3. Chicago vs. 6. Milwaukee

4. Toronto vs. 5. Washington

 

Pretty costly loss for the Spurs today. Had they won, they would have had the 2 seed and a matchup with Dallas in the first round with home court the first two rounds. Instead, they'll probably have to go through LAC, Houston and Golden State to make the final without any home court.

I'm having trouble convincing myself that the Pelicans are in the playoffs, and the Thunder aren't. My brain won't accept it.

Maybe Cuban was right, and they should have tanked

[TruffleShuffle]

sixers have lakers' first round pick but it's top 5 protected - lakers finished with 4th worst record.

 

sixers have miami's first round pick but it's top 10 protected - miami tanked and finished with 10th worst record.

 

sixers have okc's first round pick but it's top 18 protected - durant goes down for the year, okc tanks and finishes with 18th worst record.

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUU

[SouthSideRyan]

Well there's still a small chance at getting the Lakers pick?

And a very small chance of Miami's pick

 

Anyways, this is the playoffs thread, get that lottery talk outta here.

Not playoff, but Thunder fire Scott Brooks.

Not playoff, but Thunder fire Scott Brooks.

Overdue, imo. Guessing they will look to hire someone Durant really likes in an effort to keep him. Simmons tweeted he thinks Kevin Ollie and Billy Donovan are their top 2 choices.

:shock:

Yea I don't follow the NBA much these days, but holy [expletive], Stephen Curry. That man is terrifying.

Getting to be a decent chance that all four Eastern series are sweeps.

Chuck and Shaq's reaction to that last night was pretty great.

[UMFan83]

Worst first round ever...

 

7 out of 8 series involve no wins by one team, 5 series are at 3-0 currently

[shnsajax]

Spurs are too old.

What? That's the best kind of first round; get it over with quickly and cast off the dead weight and get to the good [expletive].
