NBA: *** Official 2015 NBA Playoffs Thread ***

Bucks' last possession was a waste, they could have set that up a lot better but instead they just chewed up clock without developing anything which turned into a scrambled pass to bail out a bad move forcing Mayo to take a bad shot.
That's not how the Bucks wanted this OT to start off. Carter-Williams makes horrible decisions, he tries to do too much and never converts in needed moments. Khris is the guy, Michael needs to get him the ball if they want to have a shot.
Rondo is a winner. He steered the Boston ship with KG, Ray, and Pierce. He put up a hell of a fight against that all time great Lake Show team in 2010 finals.
FIFY. Look, Rondo was a great distributor and had a lot of potential back in the Boston days but the fact is he is not that same player anymore. Could he get there again? I would like to think so, but where he has been this year, even with some improved shooting, he is still steps behind where he was in '10.
Rose with 34 points 8 dimes and 5 boards. Can finally start bumping this song again.

There are so many good to great PGs in the league right now, and most of them can drain jumpers and fts.
I tend to agree with you that his game changer days are behind him.
I feel like Stacey King is an announcer that most people don't like, but I absolutely love him. His Mortal Combat line tonight was great.
He's a good homer announcer, if you hate Chicago I'm sure he would be pretty brutal. I like some of his nicknames like "Asik and destroy" and "Nico Suave".
Love him too. Loved hearing his d-rose to fast to strong etc. Also loved the POW POW POW!
Cleveland vs Chicago is going to be a great matchup. I hope Mirotic can get back for next round.
We can probably start talking about it now with both teams up 3-0, but I wouldn't be shocked if one or both drop the next game.
Obviously LeBron's team is completely different, but Rose's is too compared to his playoff teams from years back. Even if we make the big assumption that he's back at his peak, those teams were elite defensively but had nobody else who could score for them. Now Chicago has so many guys that can drain the three and so many who can facilitate offense. They're not the complete beast defensive team they were, but they're actually a good offensive team, especially if healthy.
I think Cleveland takes it but in seven and both teams just hold home court. It'll be a battle.
