JET Lyfe: Trying to get all the Texas-based NBA teams to the Finals over the course of one half-decade.

That's truly incredible that 4 of the last 5 Western Conference representatives in the NBA Finals might be teams from Texas. In a conference that over the last half-decade has featured high-seeded teams with Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, etc.

its a shame we couldn't see Truth vs Bron one last time.

 

[hometownhero]

chances of a rockets/hawks finals?

any sites taking action on this. (i'm still up; why not)

 

  wtf

"Parental role"

first time seeing this.

reporters be coming outta left field when talking about Lebron. he misinterpreted it the first time and then you go right back and ask what he thought you asked initially.

David Blatt is a wild cat

He's a man who knows he's not gonna have his job for long no matter what happens.

this

if he coaches the rest of the season in shorts and air max he's gone at the end of the season 

if he wins his next 8 games in a row by 10+ he's gone before the next season

No Pat Bev for the WCF.

Steph Curry's ankles (and knees) are safe. Jason Terry's, not so much.

 

[friscostylez]

don't other nba teams referred to those 3 as the deadly triangle when they make their Texas trips?

 

[hood17]

cavs i 6
golden stte in 6

GSW in 5 or 7. I can't see golden state winning in Cleveland.

 

[awwsome]

I think a Cavs team with a 65% Kyrie would lose in 5 to GSW.

What's crazier is that in the last 30 years (iirc), the only western teams to win the title have come from California or Texas.

 And the trend won't end this year either

I just looked it up... It's actually 35 years. Seattle in 1979 was the last western conference nba champion outside the state of CA or TX.

hawks vs rockets    18/1

i'll wear those.....

really think it will be the warriors vs the hawks though

Woke late today, I'm pretty excited about the game tonight though for upset reasons.

I don't think Bevs rust will be too bad, he's abaout to be walking around like "1st team aww defense" watch. (Please happen)

He's not playing tho

Damn for real. That is a little disappointing. 

 

[dman14]

hawks vs rockets    18/1


i'll wear those.....


really think it will be the warriors vs the hawks though

had hawks at 17/1 during their little struggle midseason. gonna hedge my bet now

Golden State Warriors 1/2
Cleveland Cavaliers 14/5
Houston Rockets 12/1
Atlanta Hawks 12/1

“As much as I love Nene, and I think Nene understands this too, I would love to play with a stretch-four, with a guy who shoots the ball from the three-point line,” Gortat said. “Because that automatically gives me room under the basket to operate and gives me more opportunity to play pick-and-rolls and roll to the paint where the paint is open.”



@BowB4Me we need answers fam ... hypebeast5 thoughts?

 

[jumpman ii]

I told yall all season that this was a different Warriors team than years past here we are in WCF

 

[equality]

Cavs in 5

Warriors in 6

 

[hypebeast5]

The writing is on the wall, no pun intended, everyone knows Nene is trash, even Nene

I think I read somewhere something to the extent of where Nene even said something along the lines of he's cool coming off the bench

Paul Pierce this post season has shown us how good we can be with a stretch 4, real question is can we get one, the team as a whole has been clamoring for a stretch 4 since Anthony Bennett went number 1, and we have only signed guys at the tailend of their careers in Harrington, Pierce and Gooden
