2011 NBA Playoffs Thread

The Grizz reallly really need to finish this off tonight. You're just not going to win a game 7 in San Antonio. Especially playing five against eight. The crowd in Memphis will be absolutely insane tonight with the 8:00 tip. That's a lot of time to spend on Beale St. before a game.

The Mavs' series win last night means that Kobe and Dirk will play each other in a playoff series for the first time ever.

I know thats crazy. It feels like that series has happened like 5 times before but it hasn't.

Especially since Dallas has been to the playoffs every year starting with the 2000-01 season and the only year the Lakers missed in that span was 04-05.

That's pretty unbelievable to me.

When did Rudy Gay get hurt?

When did Rudy Gay get hurt?

 

With 20 something games left. I totally forgot about him too.

I dont want to play either of these teams in round 2

[SpongeWorthy]

ZBo's a god damned man

[SpongeWorthy]

ZBo looks like the best power forward in the world right now

Does OKC match up poorly with Memphis? I know Memphis won the season series 3-1 but that doesn't always matter that much.

[Derwood]

that sound was the Spurs' window closing

We can only hope.

We played them in the pre-Perkins era and ZBo and Gasol dominated us. Including a game where current Boston Celtics superstar Jeff Green played almost 40 minutes and had 0 rebounds.

Mike Breen just said watching San Antonio has been one of the "true joys" in the NBA over the years

 

lol

Do you hate San Antonio as much as I do? I hate them as much as I hate the Lakers.

 

Liking the Spurs is like going "oh i love rap music, let me play you this new Will Smith track"

[UMFan83]

So weird to see "Memphis vs. Oklahoma City" as a playoff matchup. 10 years ago, the thought of having the NBA in both those towns was ludicrous.

I'm completely and utterly ambivalent about them.

[SpongeWorthy]

boo no games tomorrow

Stern needs a day to huddle the refs together and figure out who to screw.

This is the best night in the history of tanking.

LOL true

Memphis is a good team. Am I wrong for thinking they have a legit shot at the Finals?

Yes. I think they can give OKC six games, but that's about it.

[SpongeWorthy]

This is gonna be a great series

 

Edit: Yes, I'm calling it in the first quarter of game 1 but there are just so many good individual matchups
