It is the year 2018. In the modern hellscape we call modern earth, we see the shaking crumbling society we call home get overrun by russian bots meant to cause discord and chaos everywhere. In an attempt to combat the vast portions of Russian Bots, the US Government has hired one man. Kevin Durant was his name, and this is the training ground for operation "KD Psy Ops"


The first test was to see if they could infiltrate a community without being noticed. They decided the NBA thread on a brand new community would be the perfect place for such an experiment.


We at the NBA Community Thread would like to confirm that we were all Kevin Durant, and no one ever noticed. It is my belief, that, in due time, all communities will become Kevin Durant, and peace in society shall flourish.

Im working on a writeup for each playoff team. should be done by tomorrow if im not Lazy.

Pels over Blazers.

Would that even be an upset?

looks like West isnt fully updated? Blazers / Jazz game wasn't covered, so seeding isn't finished on it

EDIT: also it looks like it's updated now on the site?

That means they have to beat the Cavs.

I don't know if we can pull that off.

Demar has been off lately. Hopefully he is ok.

Here is hoping Pacers somehow win.

Spurs fan here.

Congrats on the sweep and the second round Warriors. We fucking suck and should've missed the goddamn playoffs.

Cavs side of the bracket is whew, the Jazz of the east, then the raptors, then the 76ers. Can't say they didn't play some good teams out east

Philly is going to surprise people. Their road to the ECF is Miami Heat and depleted Bos or the Bucks.

They are going into the playoffs with no weight on their shoulders and have been playing great ball anyways.
