I don't get why game 1's are being played when we are on game 6 in another series. Does this normally happen or is this a bubble oddity?

[shel311]

Bubble oddity, they're not waiting on other games like usual.

[nick]

not bubble oddity.. happens every year

Last year:

(2) Nuggets vs. (7) Spurs - Game 7 (1st Round)
April 27 Game 7

(2) Raptors vs. (3) 76ers - Game 1 (2nd round)
April 27 Game 1

Jamal Murray has more 50-point games this postseason than the entire NBA did from 2007-2016 postseasons.

Team Canada's finally getting some respectable pieces to a Silver at best winning team. Shai as well.

He's not missing any shot the rest of the postseason.

[nick]

that game 1 ass beating was humbling even as a fan. Tatum is pretty good.

[Cnasty]

That was fun

My beloved Chrissy is doing things!

That was all CP3. As soon as he came out they fell apart.

[shel311]

The Rockets traded Chris Paul for a worse player in Westbrook and gave OKC assets to go with it

[shel311]

I'm gonna intentionally read too much into this and say this is a shot at Russ and Harden:

CP3, a German, an Italian, a New Zealander and 2 Canadians walk into a bubble...

Paul isn't messing around with Harden

that CP3 quote gonna look good when Houston wins by 10+ in Game 7. Also Paul has 0 titles when he played on a stacked LAC team and a great Houston team so ya...

[wdoupis]

That Clippers team was really good but they were not stacked or ever the favorites. Houston took possibly the greatest team ever to 7 games and probably win if Paul does not get hurt. Yes he has no titles but he is a fucking stud.

[nick]

I mean Pauls routinely been on teams in the top 5 in betting odds before the season started...

[nick]

im not sayin Paul isnt great hes prolly top 5 PG ever.. its just funny to say that quote with 0 titles and stacked teams for like half your career post NO.

[shel311]

By making this a 7-game series, Chris Paul has officially lead the Oklahoma City Thunder further than Westbrook ever did without Kevin Durant.

In his very 1st series, no less.

I mean Pauls routinely been on teams in the top 5 in betting odds before the season started...

and many of those teams made nice runs. The real stain on his playoff career was blowing the 3-1 lead to Houston in 2015 and blowing that 19 point 2nd half lead in game 6 I think. That was really bad. Other than that he has been awesome and lost to the better team probably every time.
