*** Official 2015-16 NBA Playoff Thread ***

Best case scenario for the Dubs. The hope out here is the Blazers can push the Clips as much as possible. If so maybe Steph only misses 2 games in the next series.
 
Atl Bos and Mia Cha all tied at 2-2 each. Not surprising since all 4 finished with the same record. Cleve may get a full week to rest.
 
This. The two injuries were totally unrelated. If his ankle checked out prior to the game then there was no compelling reason to sit him. You put your best players on the floor if they're healthy.
ik but he should have sat out to heal up his ankle more. I doesn't really matter anyways. They'll still get to the conference finals without him
 
Think Blazers win the series in 6 now. Think the Curry-less Warriors will take the Blazers out so Curry will be healthy for OKC/Spurs
 
Dubs shouldn't have too much of a problem winning the next round without Steph. Hopefully he can be back for the conference finals and at least mostly healthy. I doubt he's 100% for the rest of the playoffs but that's just my opinion
 
Anything pertaining to the Sacramento Kings would be about as far away from "playoff-related", perhaps maybe except the 76ers, however, they released their new identity.

I think this is a total upgrade to what they currently have.

Maybe it's just me but I swear these have more of a soccer vibe.

They are letting people get a tattoo of those for free at select tattoo parlors in Sacramento today.

Yeah, that was the original story I read. If I were a diehard Kings fan I might go for either of those lion logos. Alas, I'm not a big fan of any NBA team (I was a huge fan of the Magic when they came into the league through college, and I've kind of liked the T-wolves ever since they went to their current logos something like 15 years ago), so when Nike takes over for Adidas for the NBA-licensed apparel and merchandise in 2017, maybe I'll pick up a t-shirt or sweatshirt instead.
 
Slow day considering it's the playoffs...Hawks will be trying to close out the Celts in Boston tonight.

In other news, the Warriors granted the Lakers permission to interview Luke Walton for their head coaching vacancy.

Annnd...Boston is done. Stevens is a really good coach but that team is in desperate need of a superstar to put it all together. Lots of good young role players, though. They'll have a chance to either pick a potential superstar with the lottery pick from the Nets or they can shop the pick around.

Three elimination games on tap tonight - Toronto @ Indy, Miami @ Charlotte, and the Clips trying to hang on @ Portland.

Thinking Indy and Miami force game 7's Blazers close out Clips easily.
