The NBA Playoffs Thread (non-Bulls)

[soccer10k]

I'm surprised the Suns kept it as close as they did.

[Flames24Rulz]

Wow, the Suns have massively choked.

 

not really. they shouldn't have won this game. they are overachieving just to make it close. sooner or later the spurs were gonna take over or at least make it very tense

 

Well, they were up by 7 halfway through the 4th. I know they don't have the depth, but you can't blow a lead like that at home.

 

They kinda got screwed on the suspensions situation.

 

You won't find me arguing about that.

I won't say they choked just because you could tell they were getting tired with the lack of depth.

 

They did make some poor shooting decisions once Bowen hit the go-ahead 3.

Anyone who is an ESPN insider:

 

Go to espn.com and here Dan Patrick's heated debate on air with David Stern regarding the suspensions. Stern's pretty rude and sounds like an absolute moron.

 

They just played it on Mike and Mike...and he sounded more interested in defending his actions instead of figuring out how the rule "should" work.

oh man, how sweet would it be if the Nets upset the Cavs and the Bulls pulled off the miracle?

 

oh wait, the Bulls can't win in NJ. nevermind

 

Wouldn't we be the higher seed (or at least have the better record, which is all that matters), and thus have home court?

 

yes, my point was that just because NJ is a #7 doesn't make them a pushover

Yeah, the Bulls always suck against NJ.

wow, they just showed a little montage of all the cheap plays Bruce Bowen had made against the Suns....what a d-bag. Undercutting people under the basket, moving picks, the kneed to the groin....

Steve Nash gives no love to the Spurs(no, not even a "tip of the cap") in his post game interview......WANKER!!!!!!

Why should he? They beat him because they were allowed to beat him up. The NBA got there wish, another boring finals. Hopefully the Jazz can beat the cheaters out.

I'll be rooting for the Jazz; however, I'm not sure how hard. My #1 priority is someone other than the Pistons winning, and I'm uncertain if the Jazz would beat them. I hope it's Jazz-Cavs with the Jazz winning, but suspect it will be Spurs-Pistons with the Spurs winning. Damn the NBA, we should be watching Suns-Spurs Game 7 today.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Cavs-Jazz would be amazing simply for how much abuse Boozer would take at every game at The Q.

Spurs in 5 max, mostly likely a sweep. Much as I like the Jazz, there's little question they are out of their league for now.

What?? He's got a damn good right to be pissed about that series. The Spurs were allowed to be thugs, and the league rewarded them for it. That series was, quite simply, handed to the Spurs by David Stern. There's no other way to describe it.

I'm pretty sure I heard Nash compliment the Spurs and say something like with everything that happened, they took advantage blah blah blah. Sure sounded like love to the Spurs to me.

[Flames24Rulz]

Boring. I hate the Spurs.

Most likely a sweep? I vehemently disagree with that; in fact, that borders on complete absurdity. The Spurs will win, sure.

The Pistons game plan against LeBron appears to be to double team him, and have one player challenge the shot while the other tries to break his arm.

That strategy should work out well when Gooden and Hughes get suspended.

[Soul]

Damn Pistons took the lead again. Now you know our pain, Cavs fans.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Sigh, Marshall :(

 

Well, now it's time to hope for a miracle.

I'm sure that's considered an offensive foul on LeBron.

 

No, I'm not bitter at all.

[soccer10k]

Am I the only one who finds it completely ludicrous that people are actually criticizing LeBron for passing up the shot and dishing to Marshall at the end of that game yesterday? I mean, no matter what LeBron did at the end of the game, as long as the Cavs lost, he was going to be criticized. If he takes the shot and misses, it means he should have passed. If he passes and his teammate misses, he should have shot. Let's not forget that LeBron was an assist shy of a triple double yesterday and though he only had 10 points, he helped his team in other ways.
