how is 2 weeks to play 7 games stupid?  that's an average of 1 game every 2 days.

[Mack Tripper 696]

Hopefully Thunder-Jazz goes 7 games and we're waiting on them after making short work of the T-Wolves. That would give Mbah a Moute almost 3 weeks of recovery time before the second round.

I was told there would be no math!

[Slacks 6819]

2 fucking weeks to play 7 games. Geeze that's fucking stupid, and most of those games will end after 11PM.

I know, right? If they aren't playing 7 games in 5 nights, that's some bullshit...

Sarcasm.

Sarcasm.

Ahh, the old “just kidding” defense.

Thank God the regular season is over

No Ryan Anderson for Game 1. He shoots better on the road anyways, so no major loss there. But more importantly, Eric Gordon is good to go. Gonna need his scoring punch.

Still going to post over here and let the series thread be for containing the stupid

[BigOrange1 6436]

alright let's do this.

[BigOrange1 6436]

nice pass!

[TexArcher 37774]

They have no answer for those lobs.  Capela can seriously score 30 if we stick with it.

[BigOrange1 6436]

the passes harden makes...

[kopp0e 1135]

Gibson should have been called for over the back...

 

[BigOrange1 6436]

the wolves are on pace for 48 points.

[BigOrange1 6436]

gerald green in the game early.

[TexArcher 37774]

Capela with 10 and 5 already.  Keep feeding him.

[perfectchaos007 6634]

Iso Joe in the rotation because of the crucial mbah moute injury

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Playing like shit to end the 1st quarter

[UDontKnow 10444]

CP3 needs to get it together. Terrible thus far.

When people reference “playoff CP3” it’s usually not in a positive light. Hopefully this year with the rockets it’s different 

[BigOrange1 6436]

cp3!

Nope.

 

[Dutchrudder 11137]

lol, CP3 with the Harden reach-in-draw-the-foul move 

[GHOSTUSER 361]

That’s how you close out the quarter!! Nene

paul's playoff averages are 21.4 ppg and 9.4 apg while shooting .484/.381/.847

[UDontKnow 10444]

Very good that Jeff Teague will be limited for the remainder of the 1st half with 3 fouls. 

[BigOrange1 6436]

some of these 3's need to start falling.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

I love Nene. So glad we kept him fresh for the playoffs

[BigOrange1 6436]

feels like every whistle is going minnesota's way.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Gordon has looked like absolute dog shit

[kopp0e 1135]

Minny on a mini run...

[kopp0e 1135]

If the coach gets to the pass first, is it not still a turnover..?

Somewhat to be expected. D'Antoni playing bench more minutes early in the game.

Smart as it keeps the starters fresh for the 4th...

Maybe. We'll see how it goes until the 4th. It really shouldn't be that close.

[kopp0e 1135]

Agreed, I thinks the Rocket starters resting on the bench will pay off early in the 4th as the T-wolves starters get worn down...

[BigOrange1 6436]

i swear the fucking passes that harden makes...

[BigOrange1 6436]

holy shit capela!

[TexArcher 37774]

Capela is going absolutely apeshit.

18 pts, 7 rebs, 2 blocks, 1 steal.

[TexArcher 37774]

There we go, James.

And again.

[BigOrange1 6436]

oh man harden

[Dutchrudder 11137]

I don't understand why they aren't going at Rose every time down the court. He's their worst defender, and they aren't really exploiting it. 

[BigOrange1 6436]

harden got to 19 points very quickly. 

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Bartolo Colon is throwing a fucking perfect game against the Astros. Are my eyes deceiving me?
