2013 Playoffs Discussion Thread

How is it possible for one guy to get that many 4 point plays? And so improbably.

[BallSoHard]

Nice flop BG, glad u got fouled out on it.

[UNO Gracias]

Clipper fans crying about refs when they have gained the most out of the poor officiating.

[groundpatty]

I'm all on board for Eric Bledsoe. all on board.

[Big-O]

I am interested to see the Pacers series and how well they play against the Hawks to gauge where they are at right now. I always thought they matched up well with the Heat and would like to see them in the conference finals but they have fallen off the past month or so and haven’t impressed me much.

David Lee out, will not return this postseason. I guess that means Warriors' chances of advancing are reduced to 0?

[IamQuailman]

I don't understand how the talking heads trash Brandon Jennings for his comments saying that the Bucks are going to go out there and beat the Heat. Realistic? Not really. But what's the point of playing the game if you just go out there and say "Oh, yeah.. we're going to lose to the Heat in 4." You gotta go out there and say "Damn straight we have a chance"

Leggo Spurs. Shut Magic Johnson up about the Lakers advancing to the 2nd round

[LouisianaPride]

they way Magic is talking you'd swear the Lakers were the number 1 seed

[Inner_GI]

With Kobe, I actually think this Lakers team could beat the Spurs, but right now, the offense just has no way to develop. It all looks forced. Pau Gasol should be getting the ball every time down the floor.

[kclaboy504]

I just can't enough of watching the lakers get spanked and look so hopeless!!! Lol...clean sweep coming for the spurs

Pau or Dwight should touch the ball every time down the floor in the post. Inside out. Yet, they are still jacking up jumpshot after jumpshot. Smh...mike dantoni will be fired after next year guaranteed

[Inner_GI]

Wasn't he given like a 5 year deal? That would mean they'd have a lot of dead money in paying two coaches no longer coaching. lol

They should of just sucked it up and brought back Phil. haha

[Emilio]

Or make Kobe their next coach a la Bill Rusell.

Ginobili with 18 pts in 18 min, coming back from an injury

[takezor]

I'm not really rooting for anyone to be honest... If Kobe was still playing I would go with the Lakers, same with Rose on the East with the Bulls. I really like how the Spurs play as a team, trusting each other, and no matter who plays but they play the same style. True basketball.
Same with Boston, very compact and team work team, although they lack the presence of Rondo, who runs the show as very few can do.

But I'm rooting against the Heat. I don't like too much the 3 friends who united themselves to win a championship, what they could not do alone (aka lebron and his "CHOSEN 1" tatoo).

Get out.

[Emilio]

I hadn't watched a Milwaukee game the entire season till tonight, and I'm glad. Their offense is terrible. Basically it's just Jennings or Ellis racking up shot after shot.

So if CP3 had gotten LBJ and Bosh to come to the Hornets you'd take the same stance?

It would never happen so... New Orleans is not an attractive place for superstar players to come, you know they like big markets.
But of course, my opinion would be the same on a guy who has tatooed on his back "CHOSEN 1" and thinks he's better than MJ but could not win a ship with his former team. He had to join 2 other SUPERSTARS to win 1.
Plus he made a show of his leaving out of Cleveland. Imagine how the true cavs fans felt.
I was a big fan of him when he was on the Cavs, but not anymore now.

[Inner_GI]

Remember that "show" raised a lot of money for charity. Just saying.

[Ceedee M]

13% shooting for the Rockets...?

Pacers/Heat is the series I'd like to see as well.

[Snarly]

Lin is pretty terrible. He can't run an offense.

[Eman5805]

Not surprising at all. Lin was a flash in the pan if there ever was. Just happened to be playing for one of the biggest media markets in the world and being of Asian descent.

[UNO Gracias]

I am not surprised that people are overreacting to a guy who is playing in his first postseason game vs the team everyone is expecting to represent the west in the NBA finals.

Lin is fine, he is just green behind the ears (as is everyone on the rockets outside of Harden and Asik). Can't fault him for his poor play now when the entire season he has been the same guy now.
