Disappointing even if I...strongly dislike the Clippers, Paul and Griffin, to put it nicely. I was looking forward to two insane Western semis and then an absolute crazy WCF. Now at least the Warriors can rest Curry for the semis no matter who they face for the inevitable showdown with San Antonio/OKC.

The Warriors were going to play against the Clippers without Curry for probably 3-4 games. Now if the Clippers even win the series they play against a Clippers team without Griffin and Paul the whole playoffs, or they get an inexperienced Blazers squad that's overachieved this year.

In short, the Warriors get lucky again.

So what if the Blazers beat the Warriors? Still lucky?

So let me get this straight, the Clippers (pre injuries) facing the Warriors without Curry is not a lucky break?

Holy shit, talk about catching a big break if you are the Warriors. They went from playing a healthy Clippers team in the 2nd round without Curry to playing a solid Blazers team who just won 44 games this year.

The Warriors getting the easy road. They lucked out. The Blazers will get plastered at full strength by the Warriors without Curry. So unfortunate for the Clippers. I think there will be some changes come next season for them. Paul or Blake might leave...or both. Doc should get the boot seriously. Doc doesn't develop players..the Clippers might have to do a mini rebuild. Develop players this time around Blake/CP3 or one of the two. Get a real SF..they will still be a playoff team.

Doc is throwing in the tool. Might as well shut Reddick down too.

It's the right thing to do. Blake has time to get plenty healthy. Paul too.

This offseason, Doc needs to get a competent back up PG and a legit backup big man.

This year though, not at all, they just lost their best player to multiple injuries and will still have to beat the spurs and the cavs to win the ring. Thats easy?

Because the cavs, fully healthy, will only have to play one of those teams.. the one that limps out of the gauntlet. Now that is what Id call easy.



And no... the celtics w/o avery bradley (convenient you dont mention this btw, as you mention guys of pat beverley calibre being out above :rolleyes: ) and the hawks are not better than the trailblazers, theyre on a similar tier but the blazers have the best player out of all three teams, by far.

The Cavs series is the only one I'll admit would have been closer if Kyrie and Love were there (their defense surely would've been worse, I'd have the Dubs in 7).

Pelicans - Injured Jrue? Who the **** cares, it was a sweep :oldlol:

Grizzlies - Conley being 100% wouldn't have changed anything, and Allen was already neutralized. Should the Spurs get a pass for this year's first round?

Rockets - Bev's never stopped star PG's in the playoffs :oldlol: See Lillard, Westbrook, and Game 1 this year.

Clippers - Not the Dubs fault they choked against Houston last year. I'm disappointed the two teams couldn't match up this year with everyone healthy, but the Dubs would be favored against LAC either way. Hell, Portland was about to make it 2-2 with BG and CP3 healthy. Who knows what would've happened

I don't know if the Blazers are under-matched. Warriors are certainly the better team but they still have Lilliard. Curry won't be available to play right away. That's all assuming Warriors finish off the Rockets and the Blazers finish off the Clippers.

I don't know if the Blazers are under-matched. Warriors are certainly the better team but they still have Lilliard. Curry won't be available to play right away. That's all assuming Warriors finish off the Rockets and the Blazers finish off the Clippers.

But answer this, the Spurs just swept the Grizzlies who were severely under-manned. Where is all the outrage over this?

Spurs are playing the freakin Thunder in the second round...

its like with Holidays injury on the Pels last year playing the Warriors... who cares, they would have swept through it anyway.

Clippers were a lock, come on now :facepalm the question was how many games it would take.. and it would be already over if Griffin wasnt rusty from the start anyway.

So thats one quality opponent avoided... lucky :confusedshrug:

Griffin was playing like shit and 2-2 isn't bad at all for Portland :confusedshrugs: I'd probably take LA in 7 though

A quality opponent avoided even though they weren't even a lock. That's like Kawhi going out last year in the first round, Clips still winning, and then people putting an asterisk on GS' title because Kawhi was out. Nothing's certain in the playoffs my dude. With or without Paul and Griffin, OKC or SAS will still be waiting.

Slightly lucky in the grand scheme of things, but a useless thing to argue about for like 5 pages :eek:

And the Warriors would beat a healthy Clips in 5-6 if they had Steph. No one's lucky when your best players are out, it's just that GS is a much better team overall (stacked, if you want to call it that). How's that a slight on them?

I feel for the Clippers and their fans though. They hung in all season still winning games when Blake was out and to end up like this. Losing both Paul and Blake is just rough.

Just hard to say it without it happening.. you never know.
