The 2017 NBA Playoffs: This Is A Recording

Weren't the Celtics complaining about feeling disrespected because people were saying they're a weak 1 seed? Then they go out and lose Game 1 to an average Bulls team? Hilarious.

to be fair, the sister of their best player just died. 

 

Again, that is completely irrelevant, because "their best player" (who has a name, by the way) played terrific in light of that tragedy.

That's cold. Thomas was crying during player intros. You can't just put that aside and pretend nothing happened. The team probably lost a day in prep, at the very least.

The team did not lose because IT lost his sister. IT played great. The rest of the team played like trash. What is their excuse, if the person who was actually related to the person who died played great?

Yikes. The Celtics lost for several reasons. It's hard to pick point just one. I'm certain a death in a star player's family didn't help but to your point, I guess, there's no way to be sure.

The so-called number one seed in the East just lost at home. Sad!

They're the so-called number one seed, because they are the number one seed. It's a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion. Also I didn't realize the NBA switched to NFL format and became single elimination. Should the Celtics even bother showing up for the rest of the series, or just accept their fate now and fold the franchise?

Thomas played to the very best of his abilities with the mental stress that he has endured for the time... there's no way in hell he gets the blame for Boston losing here. It's the piss poor rebounding effort that did them in... 53-36 on the boards is a very bad sign for a team that lucked out on the 1 seed because Cleveland crapped out during the 2nd half of the season.

 

Now, the issue of his sister's death won't go away immanently.... that will stick to him for a long time. He is the team's best player right now and he needs to be Mr. 4th Quarter once again if they want to avoid an 0-2 hole.

And I feel for him. Personally, I'd be utterly devastated if my sister died. I don't know how he was able to pull through that and play brilliantly. Mad respect to him. But to insinuate the Celtics lost because IT's sister passed is a bit disingenuous. It'd have a bit more credibility if Thomas had a bad game, but he didn't. He was the best player on the court yesterday. His teammates just didn't step it up which I find hilarious given their incredulity at the notion of being a weak number 1 seed.

Bucks in 5.  They have a freak, some money, a moose, and a president.  After that, Cavs in 7 because while future things are coming, true things are true.

What's the deal with the Grizzlies this year?  Are they beat up again, or was the West just not that good from the #7 spot down?

 

Aside from that year they went the the Western finals, it seems like Memphis is always injured as hell come playoffs time.

They aren't all that beat up this year. Their best players (Conley, Gasol, Carter, Randall) are healthy. They're just no match for the Spurs.

 

So p****d that these two teams met again in the playoffs. The most boring brand of basketball.

Tony Allen is out, but that's about it. Part of it is that San Antonio is just plain superior, and the other part is that Memphis has no depth. The moment Conley comes off the floor, everything just stops offensively.

The Spurs are just about the worst matchup the Grizzlies could've pulled. Memphis is one of those teams that likes to grind games out, and if there's one team that can match their slogging style of play, it's the Spurs. And the Spurs do that style of game plan MUCH better than Memphis does. Combine the two and you're stuck with a slow, boring matchup that's still a bit of a blowout. It's funny because Golden State Portland is pretty much the polar opposite type of series, but with similar results. The Blazers style of play is a lot quicker and they have two great scorers, but they're up against one of the most efficient scoring teams of all time. But at least that series will be fun because it's like a high scoring track meet rather than a slow moving, low scoring, meat tenderizer like Spurs Grizzlies is.
