It's showtime -- let the (NBA) games begin!

[Knicks411]

Warriors are -1000 in the next round.

The Spurs won 61 games this year, and the Warriors are -1000 to win the series.

Quoting myself here; the crazy thing I forgot to mention in my original post: I'm not even sure these odds are crazy

Give Pop BC's roster and he would be top 4 in the ACC!

The NBA playoffs have been a dud thus far.

Joe Johnson has the only buzzer beater.

I'm not sure how much better they are going to get. I said the same thing last year and i was wrong, but I really think the Warriors might just run all over everyone.

I saw a story recently that the tv ratings are up though

Yeah, I honestly don't think the Finals will be very good either.

After last year, I refuse to discount Lebron, but I think there's every chance its Warriors in 5.

Barring him being concussed, it sure looked like it.

A few folks on Twitter were wondering about a concussion.

I think he just got worn out and cracked.

I don't think he was concussed:


Was out at the club after the game. Don't think the flashing lights and loud music would be good for a concussion.

I'm expecting a good, competitive Final, at least six games. I think the Cavs are a better team this post-season than they were last year, although the Warriors are -- or may be -- too.

Either way, would be great to see the rubber match, the Cavs and Warriors meeting in the Final for the third straight season, sort of a modern-day Ali-Frazier III.

Harden had a similar game v. SU in the NCAA's. All-American, and he was pretty much a non-factor in that game. Did not look like an AA that day.

this guy's incredible. That three over Wall was just stupid.

Oh my, I love it.

Gotart committed like 20 moving screens and the refs called none.

Joke.

The series was going 7 but the Celtics gagged.

Look at John Wall's passion and then look at James Harden at the club the night they got eliminated.

Some guys have it. Some guys don't.

He was on the scorer's table a la Devo as the game ended.

And then there was this

Disagree. People go to clubs to blow off steam after crappy days all the time.

I can't see Kobe or Lebron doing that after an awful loss, at home, in which they played terrible.

I find Harden to be incredibly soft and am not surprised he went out with his celeb friends and then to the strip club after. I get that people handle adversity differently but im just not a fan of his.

Everybody is different. Kobe is a friggin weirdo. (I'm a Lakers fan). That worked for him, but not everybody is him. And he's not the only guy to win it all.

Didn't Dirk spend a month wandering the Australian outback getting drunk after they lost in '07?

Edit: I'm not a Harden fan either, but I just don't think him going to the club after means anything at all.

I have no idea but I immediately like Dirk so much more now if that's true.

I didn't have the story perfect, but close enough:

I don't care what he did afterwards. I do think it points to something else being up than a concussion.

Just seems like something happened with the team to have them lay an egg like that.

Losing Nene hurt, although not 39 points worth.

Check out Klay's shirt. Looks like he's a closet Cleveland fan.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say these guys are high AF.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Harden could have just been worn out. He and Westbrook don't get nearly the same amount of rest as Lebron, Leonard, Curry and Durant. Some of that is a product of their weaker supporting casts though.
