It's probably worst than what we expected, although he did contributed but in most of his shots, you will notice that something is not right so definitely this will be a big factor in their series with Portland.
I thought that this could be a series for the OKC themselves since they only need to guard 2 of the players of the opposite team to win. And that's easy with westbrook and Fergusson. But damn, their shooting 15.2% from downtown.

Well , Russ can have off night, but not PG because I think he is the glue to this team. But as others have statement, it's just Game 1 and a lot could happen and it's going to be a long series.
They can all have a bad game. It's a long way to go, fortunately.

Really hard to see who's going to win, we all know the Nurkic is out, but Kanter proved to be the factor in their win. So let's see if Kanter will continue on Game 2 the way he played on the first game.
Kanter made a great contribution to that trailblazers win. I hope that he will play the same way he played last game so that we can see a great game between those two.

I do feel sad for Paul George on having a bad night during the game between Rockets and Oklahoma, for those people that don't know about PG not having a great night he has a minor injury. It's on his shoulder. But he said that, he only needs rhythm and everything will work out. Unfortunately, it didn't.

LA Clippers will be so frustrated with their series with GSW. Curry has step up his game specially his 3. And imagine if KD and Klay will also erupt at the same time will be very difficult for LA Clippers to at least win one game. If will be a good match if that is LA Lakers, but unfortunately, we won't see it happening this season though.

Every team that will face the GSW will get frustrated because they are so good.
Just remember what they did to the Cavaliers last NBA finals, if they can sweep Lebron, how much more this Clippers team.

GSW is not just good but they have the chemistry to blend in each play the do. What's killing the clippers are the three's made by the warriors in which they can answer or defend. Anyways, let's see on game two on how the clippers will adjust on the warriors plays.
How can they defend the GSW when they are not a defensive team, during the regular season they allow their opponent to score high and it's just their type of game. They cannot just change their system they will have to play better, outperform the champ on shooting and they will win.
The thing is the GSW is also a good defensive team, they are both good in offense and defense that's why they win championships.

So you mean that the clippers are not playing defensively that's why they lost to gsw? I thought that GSW has the edge since they are playing more intense in defense and more on offense.

Simply put, gsw is the better team in pretty much every aspect. I don't think the clippers expected to move on to the second round after the seedings were released. They may just be consisering themselves lucky they made the playoffs. Still a better finish though considering their lineup compared to the lakers lol. I had to get that out 😁

You got point on your observation but 1st game doesnt guarantee some sweep but somehow they are starting the pace with their own side. Or Curry did just reserve these plays for Playoffs?  Cheesy
With due respect to the LA Clippers, i think they are at the wrong end of the rope in this first round of the playoffs. The Warriors are so motivated right now to prove that they can do other few teams achieve, the 3 peat. I bet that the Clippers will be sweep on this round though it is not over yet but basing on the first game, Clippers is not yet on the same level with the Warriors yet. KD and Steph exploded, might be Klay on the second game. That's tough for the Clippers.

Yeah it is not through yet but there is a larger possibility for the GSW to sweep the Clippers. I guess there is also a line of betting for that.

How about San Antonio winning the first game against Denver. Now, they need to win the second game to avoid a possible sweep too.
But I am more intrigued into how Pops and the defensive coach of San Antonio did it.
We know they dont have much offense, only Aldridge and DeRozan have a high percentage of shots. DeRozan though have problems with playoffs game.
What they did is focused mostly with defense.
There is a lot of turnovers from Denver and it really worked even with the good offensive strategy of Denver coach.

The game is close but SAS still won it.
To add up they dont really have a center. So Aldridge might really get tired with the next games.

It's too hard  for them to handle the Warriors, since even Green and the rest of the team are joining the parade, Harrell and Williams can't match the superteam of this league, with Curry's and KD's playoffs activated performance it's hard for anybody to stop the defending champs, can be swapped
or maybe 3-1 if they will entertained the clippers fans.
Game 2 is another GSW win, unless they'll try to manipulate the game, but skills wise, the GSW is full of talent that will beat the Clippers even
at their own home court. Forget that 3-1, it will be 4-0 IMO, if only the Lakers were in the last spot, we could have see a good series because NBA might help the king a bit to win, but that injury of him made their chance lower.

Portland and oklahoma city game will be an interesting one to watch due to the lillard vs westbrook matchup because head to head they are almost identical in the way they play.
Surprising fact is okc has beaten the blazers in all the four times they met in the regular season.
But the playoffs are a different story as the majority of games played yesterday has shown this to be true.

They also had some beef a while ago right?

So yeah, it's going to be interesting and there are emotions going to flare in this game for sure. And then are players like Paul George who really wanted to show how good they are in this kind of games. So let's see if Lillard can go toe to toe with Russ specially in talking thrashed.  Grin
And finally the Blazers won, and it's very timely as it happened in the first game of the playoffs.
This is good for them, I thought the lost of Nurkic will affect them badly, but Kanter fill that shoes by having a monster performance.

What?...... 18 rebounds and 20 points, that was huge, and that total rebounds includes 7 off rebounds.

Yeah, Kanter step up big time that's why Portland was able to pull a win. Damn, we all say that Portland can no chance to even with a game without Nurkic, but playoff games are really very different. It's either guys choke or elevate there game.

Russell Westbrook, his usual triple double, but George looks like suffering from shoulder injury affecting  his shooting, Lilard has 30 points so it's good to see Portland winning a game after being sweep two consecutive years by New Orleans and GSW.
We have seen game 1, and it seems like this is going to be a long series.
Of course the OKC will not just allow to go away even though they don't have the home court advantage, but in this series, it's PG
that is most important as he has been the one who is making lots of points for his team to win.
His performance will downgrade and it will affect the team's chances to win.

History made for Stephen Curry that he passes Ray Allen For the Most Made 3's in NBA Playoff History. Playoff on activated by Curry!  Grin
I saw their game with the Clippers, I see that their form is now back. Kevin Durant getting techs and powerful drives. Curry's 3 pointers all the way. Thompson's more catch and shoot. Draymond as powerful stretch. Boogie getting tilted but still perform pretty well. Yep, ready for 3peat.
They are more dangerous now because curry is leading them.
Last playoff was I think Kevin Durant is leading, that's why he also won the Finals MVP award.
Curry is so healthy now and they are letting him shoot, his percentage has improve, I can smell a sweep on this series.

Okay, this is by far the weirdest timeline ever. First to start Brooklyn nets managed to beat Sixers (which if you don't know nets was the underdog of the game) than followed that Orlando magic just beat Toronto Raptors which seriously made us all doubt what Kawhi will do next year with his free agency. Now Spurs just beat the second seed as well. I don't know what the hell happened last night but all teams that were favorites to win the game actually lost the games. I would have expected at least one of them to win, not all three of them to lose.

It must have been a great day for all sportsbooks because honestly if it was just one unexpected result that always happens but all three of them were unexpected and combined money that went into all that three games must be a lot of profits for them.
