2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

Spurs with a hobbled Kawhi would get swept.

Rockets would get swept with how poorly they have been playing lately. They would really have to start shooting teh ball far better than they have been to win a game.
With a hobbled Kawhi they will still get Game 3 or 4. Spurs are VERY underrated. Especially on this board. It's crazy.

The Spurs can play perfect defense like they did tonight, but KD is just going to dominate them if Kawhi isnt out there operating at a high level.
 
This is why that award show at the end of the playoffs is gonna be super weird.


I wonder if the winners will even bother turning up... LOL ...

guilty as charged. I totally expected them to fall off a cliff this year. They're old af and not athletic except for Kawhi and yet ..

anyone seen the breakdown of Kawhi's travelling ?

Yah, but he's gonna clean that up this offseason. It's a non-issue.
 
Harden dying (or quitting) when it mattered reminded me the GSW v thunder series last year.

So naturally the only thing harden can do is join the spurs in the offseason.
 
I don' t think Hayward is going to go to Houston so he can hand the ball to Harden and wait out on the perimeter for the occasional kick-out.
Did anyone ever think Hayward was houston bound?
 
how is D'Antoni viewed in light of another playoff choke ??

I actually don't see it that way. I think that team wayyy overachieved in the RS and had no business finishing 3rd in the west.

Houston was the only team I was way off in my early season predictions. Nothing but respect for D'Antoni and what he did with that roster this year.

Disagree. The way he switches his pivot foot especially when it's multiple times gives him a big advantage in being able to go a different direction than his defender would expect

No what I mean is, Kawhi is the kind of player who works on his game so much during the offseason, that come next season he won't be doing that anymore, he would have moved on to other moves and counter moves, etc.
