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

As a non-NBA fan I wouldn't care about and almost certainly wouldn't watch a Lebron-Durant finals, I would probably watch at least some of a Warriors vs. Anyone Finals just because I think watching Curry play is entertaining.

Russel Westbrook is just as fun to watch as Curry. One of the most athletic players to ever play the game.
 
That was a pretty sick off balance 3 to get it back to 12.
 
I love watching ISU basketball but I'll never understand how people can claim to be basketball fans and not to be glued to games like this. Incredible plays all over the place.
 
I'm not against the salary cap, but it creates some really funny instances like Durant and Harrison Barnes somehow having the same market value.
 
Amazing roll the Thunder is on and not just this game or this series but playoffs. It all about how you finish.
 
Curry blows a layup...Oh maybe he isn't 100%. Shut up CWebb.

I think it's probably more of a case in that Curry's game is among the best ever offensively, but not necessarily as geared for perennial playoff dominance, even though obviously it was last year.

With a few exceptions of well oiled teams the NBA champ usually has an individual elite player who can physically impose his will on both ends whenever they need to.

Maybe, but he just blew that one.
 
In hindsight, I think the physicality of the Portland series left Golden State players hurt more than they will probably admit. They have flashes where they look like the same team as the regular season, but they just seem to have less legs in them right now.
 
This is ****ing beautiful to watch.

It's pretty rare for a team to have two guys as all-around dangerous as KD and Westbrook are right now, especially when they're putting forth good effort on the other end. It's making life pretty easy for some of their role players.
