NBA Playoffs 2012 Discussion Thread

I get it, but that doesn't mean I have to like or agree with it. I don't know of guys forcing their way to the teams they want to play for though.

Maybe it did happen a few times, but not as often. Now every star player only wants to play for 2 or 3 teams it seems. That's what rubs me the wrong way.

Bill Russell, Larry Bird, John Havlicek, Bob Cousy, Kevin McHale, Dave Cowens, etc all played their rookie years in Boston. None of those guys bolted to a big market because they didn't want to be in a small market and couldn't build their "legacy." Times are different. The whole building of super teams nowadays is crap.

whole differed era. you cant even compare the two.

I believe I compared them earlier

This about the great games Dick Stockton has seen. Shit.

IDK why everyone hates Chris Webber the commentator.

Dude does his job and knows what he's talking about. One of the better color guys the NBA has IMO.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Memphis should have played this way all series.

He's good, but The Czar is #1 aside from the rare Bill Walton Kings' games.

Charles with the zinger on DeAndre Jordan

Barkley: "If you left DeAndre Jordan in the gym all night and told him he couldn't dunk he'd have 6 points in the morning."

Is there a new shooting foul rule I don't know about?

That's twice tonight I've seen a player (from both teams) attempt a three and get ran through and fall to the ground and neither really complained.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That uptop view TNT was just showing is great, wish they used that all game.

The Clippers have to be one of the most immature playoff teams ever.

It's so sad, I think Memphis may have finally realized where this series could be right now.

Damn didn't know this man people didn't want me in #NY might just get what you asking for! #sorrykidz

LoL.

The one thing I do hate about officials though is when they make demonstrative motions when making calls. It serves no purpose.

Although it's not as big an issue as it is in College Ball.

Like when instead of pointing to a side to signal who's ball it is they basically try to seperate their arm from their body they make the signal so hard?

This is giving me painful memories of when the Cavs blew two huge leads against the Magic in the 09 ECF

 

[elcheato]

The Clips would be better served to have Butler not play, and just play uber small.

 

[Mexi]

maybe the clipper curse really does exist
butler hurt. blake and cp got hurt. uh oh

both games were close in LA. this is going 7. go grizz

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Melo needs fucking help from someone on the team. At least hes playing well tonight. Heat are about to close this out with a Lebron run.

The problem is Melo more than anything else on the Knicks...
