2015 NBA Playoffs Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Monty strikes me as a Scotty Brooks type. Solid at developing young guys, gets them to buy in and play defense, ultimately not good enough offensively to take them to the next level.

Who knows, maybe that'll change.

I don't think Monty has ever had the chance to. His first year he got them into the playoffs and they took the Lakers to 6 games when they still had Paul, David West, and Marco Belinelli. Then Paul left and they rebuilt. The talk of firing Monty if they didn't make the playoffs was insane. This has been a great series and I see it going back to the bay 2-2.
 
I said this when we dominated Golden State earlier this year...they're not a team that knows how to play from behind. They've beasted this year by getting out to early leads and then feeding off the energy of the crowd. If you kick them in the mouth, though, they fold. They're just a mentally weak team that loses their composure when they have to play from behind.
 
The Bulls are solid but they cannot defend like they used too and Butler will be a nonfactor after having to guard Lebron...and without Mirotic are Front line is just as good...we have Lebron and home court...Cavs in 6

Mirotic will be back for the second round.
 
Remember when Fedor said no one knows who Ryan Anderson is (saying he is a nobody and a scrub)? well, he should watch this game.
 
Healthy Rose+ Gasol+ prime Butler= better than any version of the Bulls Lebron played in Miami. Probably better than any playoff team Miami played minus the 2013 and 2014 Spurs.

I think we win in 7, but wouldnt surprise me at all to see us lose next round.

Not better than OKC team they defeated in the NBA Finals.
 
Looks like Ryan Anderson from Orlando out there!
 
F'ing Warriors. Come on NO, close these guys out.
 
The Warriors are missing shots but the Pelicans are just not boxing out.

Have the Celtics had a single put back slam this entire series? I've seen like four tonight from the Warriors. Gotta fucking box out.
 
It's really sad that the Pelicans have pissed this lead away. Curry and Thompson are tossing up bricks and the Pelicans just keep letting the Warriors get offensive rebounds and put backs.
 
Have the Pelicans grabbed a board this quarter? this entire run has been 3 point bricks and put backs. Painful.
 
Anyone who's been down on Kevin Love...he at least boxes out. This Warriors run has been pathetic.
 
Kevin's the most fundamentally sound rebounder in the league.

That said, NO deserved to lose this game if GS wins.
Still really hoping they can hold out and get the win. The Bucks game was enough disappointment for one night.
