2019 NBA Playoffs thread

Definitely looked like they could lose Game 2, but never thought they were in danger of losing the series......or even going past 5 games.

Looked like they could possibly lose.

But me and like 2 others posted at the end of 3rd quarter with Indy up 11 that it still felt like Boston would win.

Didn't think of that. But you are right.

Because all 4 of those series that look most competitive are going to match up with each other in round 2.

It will mean lengthy layoffs for the teams that end early even if both in the matchup are done. Pretty sure they won't start any round 2 series until at least game 7 day of the last round 1 series.

They said earliest they will start round two is next Saturday

Harden was lighting it up last night. How many buckets did he drain? One of his bestest shooting performances of his career.

That man shot 3-20 and Utah still couldn't pull out a win. Sad.

That was probably Utah's best chance to get a win in the series. Harden won't have another shooting game like that in this match up.

Home teams are 1-7 on Saturdays in the nba playoffs so far

I know the first round hasn't been quite as interesting as some had hoped,

But I have really enjoyed watching some of the underdog teams complete.

Brooklyn, Indiana, Clippers, Orlando and Portland (I know they are home) have all impressed me with how hard they play and that they don't seem to be afraid of the moment.

Has there ever been a weekend in round 1 where road teams went undefeated?

I don't know.

But I think OKC wins tonight to spoil it.

I agree with that but to see a lot of these teams who had HCA take back HCA by winning both road games been fun. And in Denver's case to win that game with your season on the line was impressive

 

[bksballer89]

I don't Philly plays enough defense to beat Toronto 4 of 7 without HCA

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I'm sitting second out of 200 teams in my one fantasy game but I don't have a good feel how to plan this upcoming week.

Obviously sitting any Celtics and the Bucks/Celtics could very easily be rolling by Saturday/Sunday so the Bucks are good for two games. Provided OKC wins I can go Westbrook/George/CJ/Lillard and Murray/Jokic for two also and then hope Philly and Toronto both close out so we get rolling on the weekend.


The East can start game one on a West game 7 on the weekend

Tough projections

With Portland surprisingly winning, we may be left with very little basketball after Tuesday.

There is a solid chance we have 2 basketball games from Wednesday thru Friday including no games on Friday.

Got my answer lol

 

[bksballer89]

Solid chance this get to 10 with Milwaukee and Houston playing tomorrow
