NBA Playoffs 2012 Discussion Thread

I'm sorry, but I call bullshit. The Clippers had 2 superstars, the Grizzlies had none. The Clippers won the series with superstar treatment and more consistent bench scoring.

The Grizzlies are a MUCH more fearsome matchup for San Antonio. The Spurs are relaxing as we speak. Against San Antonio, the Grizzlies are the better team compared to the Clippers. San Antonio 4-0 or 4-1 against the Clips.

I don't think Randolph should have begun starting in this series. Speights was playing very well and Zbo would have added consistent scoring off of the bench.

Lionel Hollins got outcoached by Vinny Del Fucking Negro. That's embarrassing.

Some Grizzlies observations about improving in the offseason:
1. Show tape to Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo (if he stays), and Marc Gasol about all the possessions they threw away with bad passes or dumb decisions. Gay throws some of dumbest passes I've ever seen, and they always get intercepted. Mayo gets pick pocketed because he doesn't put a vice grip on the ball. Ever. Marc Gasol puts the ball on the ground too much and gets stripped in the paint. These three need to get smarter with the ball.

2. Tony Allen needs to learn how to play hands off defense. Chris Paul gets every call as is; he doesn't need it to be easier for the officials to blow the whistle.

3. Speights plays terrible defense and doesn't box out. Get him trained on the basics of basketball.


One more observation: Why does Joey Crawford, hands down the worst official in the game, show up at every important game? Stern's puppet. That's what he is. I hate the bald fucker. Not only is a terrible referee, he's obviously making certain calls on purpose through sheer favoritism. I hate him. Not to mention he runs and looks like a plucked chicken.

you can tell me all the stats and shit you want. the clippers won in seven games. usually that means they were the better team. even if they were only better by a little margin. they won, they are better. idc what the next macthup looks like for the spurs either.

usually, you said it yourself lol

It also opens the argument what exactly do you mean is a better team.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Frank Vogel is a phaggot.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Speights has always been a bad defender that isn't going to change,

 

[CameronCrazy06]

i still think memphis should be the better team but they lost a seven-game series. they arent the better team. the clippers are.

The Grizzlies are the better team. It's hard to win when you're playing 8-on-5.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Darrell was a big loss for Memphis.

Can't believe he was drafted by the Hornets and they traded him for like cash, smfh.

I hear you. My Rockets were lucky to get Chandler Parsons back for cash. They traded him to Minnesota during the draft, initially.

Minnesota had their three and traded him for cash. Idiots. David Kahn is a moron.

 

[elcheato]

Frank Vogel is going to get fined a lot this series.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Wade gets that call every time...

 

[jonathanlambert33]

LMAO at all the Heat players kissing Lebrons mom.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Frank Vogel is going to get fined a lot this series.

He shouldn't have been fined in the first place.

 

[elcheato]

Well, he certainly is right about the flopping.

 

[elcheato]

The Pacers have to win this game if they want any chance at winning the series.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

That's what people said about Dallas last year.

 

[Elite]

Comparing the Dallas Mavericks of last year with Dirk playing way over his head to this Pacers team is lol

 

[elcheato]

If Bosh is out its a different scenario because than they can't even match up with David West to go with Hibbert. Foul trouble will be an issue the entire series for them, though.

injury bug finally bites miami

That didn't stop the officials from winning the game for them. The mere fact that George Hill fouled out of a game is absurd, and Hibbert should have had no more than 4 fouls.

Did you even watch the game?

 

[RipCity32]

Didn't get to watch the game though, but this series is going to be done real quick if Granger plays like that all series. Also what injury did Bosh sustain?

 

[elcheato]

The Pacers are always in foul trouble, even when they're not facing the Heat. They can't play without fouling.
