2012 NBA Playoffs

[xeno]

The Spurs straight up embarrassed the Jazz tonight

[Army of GOD]

Wade with a huge 3rd, LeBron with a huge 4th. Carmello is an overrated, ballhogging shit defender.

Knicks are still awful

He's overrated in the sense that any player in the NBA could put up 30 a night if they ballhogged as much as this guy does.

That's what I mean. And he's really 1 dimensional.

It's not 1 dimensional if hes "creating his own shot" or whatever other bullshit excuse he uses.

I don't think I am too interested in the First Round anymore, though I'd like to see the Celtics lose to the Hawks.

Here's looking forward to Round Two.

I agree. the first round is just awful. Unlike the NHL where the competition is normalized because of the good goaltenders most of the first round basketball games are blowouts.

[Army of GOD]

Rondo with another triple double...he's too damn good. It probably won't happen, but if we do eventually face Boston in hte conference finals I think it'd be best in the latter part of the game to have LeBron on Rondo at the point and Battier at Pierce.

[Army of GOD]

Although ethically it probably wasn't the right move, I think Stern blocking the Paul trade to the Lakers and then having him go to the Clippers was the best move for basketball. I think it's great to have both the Clips and Lakers good.

I'm begging for a LA/LA conference finals, though I'm not confident the Clippers can beat the Spurs (I think the Lakers, assuming they get past the Nuggets, can beat the Thunder).

I'm begging for a LA/LA conference finals.

The odds of this happening are slim to none. The Lakers may survive the playoffs
long enough to regret Fisher making it to Oklahoma City.
The Thunder matched the Mav's best 3rd Quarter with their best 4th Quarter
and SWEEPS them (with Slam Dunks & 3 bombs) right out the door.

[whitestazn88]

Yeah... only the spurs will be able to contest the Thunder in the west. They have the bench to match the Thunder bench. Manu Harding, then their other 3 point specialists to counter Fisher, Cook, etc.

But I still think the fresh legs of the Thunder are unstoppable.

Lakers have no bench scoring.

They don't have a bench but they have height. I think it'll be a seven game series that goes to the wire now that the Lakers have sessions.

[oVo]

Durant and Westbrook now have an excellent supporting cast,
long arms, good depth with speed to match everyone.

OKC aren't invincible, but will be a tough out for the rest
of the playoffs, regardless of who they face.

OHHHHH!That trade worked out wonderfully for my hometown Hornets.. not. f*ck Stern. Kaman, and gordon ended up missing almost the entire season and amiyu ended up being a flat out bust. The Twolves pick isn't a lottery pick so how did we get the better deal sending him to the Clips??

[AndyDufresne]

I'm cheering for the Thunder in the West. They've got the toughest road of anyone in the playoffs probably.

Ha... the Western Conference is tough period. Spurs & Lakers & Thunder! Oh My!
I'd like to see OKC go all the way... and deny the dream team once more.

[AndyDufresne]

If the Thunder can make it through the Mavericks, the Lakers, and the Spurs, they'll give the Eastern Conference champ a tough series.

[Crazyirishman]

I am going to rofl like no other if the nuggets can beat the over confident lakers tonight and knock them out in the 1st round

[Army of GOD]

Wow, I feel like the 6ers were in charge of that game until the very end.

Celtics got lucky and Rondo is a beast.

[Army of GOD]

Queensbridge baby you already know.

[Crazyirishman]

Aog, If you remove the heat from your sig and avatar, they might still have a chance to win the title.

[Army of GOD]

NEVER

[Army of GOD]

wow, we got pretty lucky at the end of the game. Pacers were in control of the first three quarters.

Now that the second round is set, here are my picks:
Heat over Pacers in 6
Sixers over Celtics in 7

Spurs over Clips in 6
Lakers over Thunder in 7

[oVo]

That Clippers/Grizzlies game had the ugliest shooting 1st Quarter ever.

I'm taking the THUNDER over the Lakers
and Spurs over Clips.

Pacers looked good in Miami and may be a tougher out than expected
for the Heat. Celtics over the 76ers.

[AndyDufresne]

Sucks for Bosh, ouch!

I usually cheer against the Lakers, but I wanted to see the Thunder-Lakers match-up, since I'd like to see OKC beat 'em down.

Looking forward to the game tonight.
