Go Indy.

Really like what the Pacers are doing... unselfish, team basketball is prevailing over the Heat (thus far, at least). Bit of deja vu, really.

great post
+1
this style of play is what is meant by "playing the right way"

[iella]

Ugh, spoke too soon...

[dude1394]

Dammit!

[b_o_r]

When being fake tough goes wrong. Granger tried to punk Wade, and I believe Wade went 11-13 afterwards.

[GhostFace]

It's all good, LeBrick and Fail County are not dropping 70 again.

[Underdog]

I hate to say it, but I think tonight was probably a must-win for Indy...

It would have been nice if they won, but I still think they can take the series. Haslem will not play like that again.

I certainly wouldn't count them out. Let's not forget what happened last time Lebron played in a pivotal Game Five at home in a tied series.

[MavsFTR]

I miss Bass...

[rabbitproof]

KD biting Dirk's shot.

[chumdawg]

The Thunder are kicking the crap out of the Lakers!

[iella]

lol lakers

[purplefrog]

Here's what I've learned by watching recent playoff games:

• I don't dislike Durant, Westbrook, and Harden when they are playing someone other than the Mavs. I was surprised, but its true.
• The Pacers are fun to watch.
• My disdain for Diva Wade and LeChoke persists regardless of the opponent.
• Brandon Bass might be a difference maker in the East bracket. Don't be surprised if the Celts make it to the finals.
• I believe that Blake Griffin is a mutant. He's got some weird, otherworldly facial expressions.
• Boris Diaw is rotund, has pointy ears, but is playing very well. Seems to me that the Spurs have a short fast Frenchman and a portly, agile French version of Mr. Spock. That's kinda interesting.

Wow, Heat laying the wood. Haslem should get 2 games for that intentional shot and Pittman, well if Bynum got 5 games and his shot really was not premeditated. Pittman should get 6 games and a 100,000 fine, yea, probably a quarter of his season's pay. Stephenson might have a broken collarbone and concussion symptoms.

[LonghornDub]

I'm pretty miffed to see that from Pittman. He was a good guy at Texas. That was totally uncalled for.

Being around Wade does that to you.

[Kidd Karma]

Well it's 3 for Pittman and 1 for Haslem.

[dude1394]

How in hells bells could a ref not toss out Pittman in that game. I mean it's just kicking it down the road.

From what I understand during the game Stevenson did a neck choke sign towards Lebron and well I guess Lebron had to be protected.

So Philly forces a game 7 back to Boston. Boston has to win and that is certainly no guarantee, unless Ray Ray decides to wake up. However, this game 7 is really pushing an old and tired Boston team to the edge. If they win, they face Miami's young athletic stars. If Boston had swept Philly or even beat them in 5, then I would've said they stood a pretty solid chance against Miami, but after a game 7? It's looking tough for the Celtics. All this is under the assumption that Miami eliminates Indy... which I dearly hope does not happen, buy after that blowout Indy looks more confused than ever.

[RareMilk]

Look at the severity of hits players take, and they immediately get right back up. Why does Wade take an hour?

Because he is nothing but a giant fu*king pu$$y. Every time I state this fact it just sounds better and better.

[chumdawg]

Big girl is warming up those vocal cords.

[GhostFace]

Sigh, had faith in Indy.

[GermanDunk]

LOL Garnett

[GhostFace]

More like Rondo with another triple double. I hope the Celtics wash the Heat, but that probably won't happen. Ray and Rondo really need to be amazing and Ray just isn't that healthy with them bone spurs.

[GhostFace]

How dedicated are Spurs fan in the San Antonio area? Would they give up tickets to out of town OKC fans?

As I recall, the team failed to sell out games last time they were in the conference finals.

Edit: Yup, a quick Google search confirmed this.

Edit2: Well, I guess they made the WCF in '08 too. Still, their fans suck.

[GermanDunk]

F ´em

[GermanDunk]

Ok not able to maintain a 9 point lead. Good game though, especially by Fisher.

[Underdog]

Go Spurs!!

(f*ck you for judging me...)

Got ya. I hear the fans down there are rabid.

This, can't stand OKC especially God damn Fisher. Manu was just toying with the kids out there.


That look on Durant's face after the ball fake by Manu was priceless.

[b_o_r]

Pop gave a g.o.at. speech when the Spurs got down late in the 3rd early 4th. No x's or o's talk during the timeout, he just told them to don't be scared and play with some nastiness. Team responds and they go on to win.

Go Spurs. Hope they win the title, clearly the best TEAM. And i always liked Duncan (still hate Gino)

But much better than Thunder, Celtics or Cheat to win

[GermanDunk]

There´s no walk in the NBA. LOL

[Underdog]

2-0.
