2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

ATM it seems like Cleveland has a much larger killer instinct. They are out for blood and just raging. Warriors seem to be OK with coasting. I wonder if that matters in game 1.
 
I've watched exactly 3 quarters of all the conference finals combined so far.



And I'm a die hard basketball fan.



That's gotta be bad for the League, surely.
 
This is probably the first time ever in the NBA where I think the product is starting to get worse rather than getting better.
 
Jazz are in an nice position.

The warriors have gotta be put into salary cap hell in the next year, right? They can't keep this core together much longer. And how much longer can lebron keep this up?

I see a window opening wide for a team like the jazz after this year.

Warriors window will be closing quickly imo and I'm still not convinced they are as great as everyone makes out.

Lebron on the other hand is playing better now than at anytime in his career. His understanding of the game is phenomenal and his impact has never been so great, I'd predict that he has another 4-5 years at an ELITE level. That being said if there is a team in the East that can take Lebron to 6 games every series (looking at you Philly) on top of his 40+ minutes a night then he is definitely beatable in the finals. A fresh and rested Lebron is a different proposition.

Jazz are in a really good position if they can keep this core together.

Tonight, Kevin Durrant said if fans don't like the blowouts, they should stop watching.

tony Jones: durant lol....said in his presser tonight if fans don't like the lopsided games, don't watch

Kevin Durrant ought to hire a pr rep. He can't seem to stay out of his own way.

NBA playoffs and Preakness have one thing in common; both offer two minutes of excitement.

Convo w/non-NBA fan who tells me super teams and utterly predictable Finals 1 reason why he stopped watching NBA. Parity a joke.
