2013 NBA Playoffs Thread

Wade is on the decline, there isn't much to debate there. Injuries are taking over

The Pacers could retain a couple of their bench pieces, but I'm not sure if either Sam Young or Augustin are under contract through next year. If not, let this entire bench go and retool. Bring in someone like Francisco Garcia. If the Warriors let Landry walk (actually, I think it's a player option), bring him in, too. If either Young or Augustin is around through next year, then the bench would get much better with those additions.

I'd argue the Pacers don't have any bench pieces.  Seems like they try (look at Augustin and Green this past offseason) and always strike out.
 
Now the thought of a healthy Danny Granger coming off the bench if they don't move his expiring?

Stephenson is more explosive (not necessarily with scoring but with momentum plays) and would have less touches to turn the ball over with if he came off the bench.

LeBron locked his ass down.

he was stuggling all season and vs the hawks and knicks too though
shot 41% this year overall. cmon 

 

[Mexi]

btw, wade's hop step last night to juke lance was so nasty. love that move

 

[Mexi]

and if the spurs win the finals i called it
if the heat win the finals i called it

 

[buzzy]

and if the spurs win the finals i called it
if the heat win the finals i called it

you're not even trying anymore.

 

[Mexi]

it's my way of saying IDK
 
lets go as far back as i can. since 2002 I am 8-3 in my finals picks (chose Heat in 2011, Lakers in 2004 and 2008)
 
I kind of like the Spurs because of Timmy and Parker. if Hibbert dominated, imagine Duncan. and TP is miles better than Hill
but LeBron is still LeBron. i cant pick a winner
 
I would like LeBron to win because I want him to be better than MJ
but i want Duncan to win because titles 10 years apart, potential Finals MVP 14 years apart is freaking insane

But like I said, he had a good regular season. 
I don't think he is on the decline, just hurt.

 

[Mexi]

Not playoffs, but good news
Sixers blue jerseys are now the regular roads instead of red

Clippers should do that too

 

[bosoxlover12]

ew. I hate both blues, red is much better

 

[Pugz]

i like the clipper reds

 

[BwareDWare94]

I think the Clippers should ditch these uniforms altogether. I how most everything is in cursive, except for the names. I love handwritten cursive, but you put it into a font and it just looks too perfect.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Something just seems off to me with the Clippers blue jerseys.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think one thing that will be really interesting in this series is watching how both teams defend the corners. 11.3% of the Heats field goal attempts come from the corner three, while 9.5% of the Spurs attempts come from there. Those are 2 of the 3 highest percentages in the league. And both teams are excellent from there.

 

[Pugz]

man yall sleeping on the clipper reds. i love the classic look they have.

 

[Mexi]

Game 1
Hopefully it isnt a blowout

 

[Pugz]

for those watching on abc is the volume low for yall?

 

[Teagz]

Nah, mine's fine.
