Official NBA Playoffs Thread

On a kind of unrelated note, Is that Jeremy Lin guy still ripping shit up?

I'm from NZ and don't really follow basketball, but on the news a few months there was a story about him and how he came out of know where. Is he still awesome or was he just a couple game wonder?
 
swtiched back to hockey and missed the chant..did they show him in the garden? I know he was in boston yesterday cause he stopped by 98.5 and did an classic scal interview
 
Fuck the NBA, fuck David Stern, and fuck the miami heat

Its too bad the pacers are softer than baby shit and didn't stand up for themselves..how do you allow this to happen?? I would LOVE to see the heat pull this cheap dirty shit against the celtics or the spurs if (god forbid) they make it to the championship series..no way a veteran team is putting up with this shit

Doesn't get much douchier than that. Even if the Celtics/Sixers fall to the Heat, they've got no chance against the Spurs, which I take comfort in.
 
he was in the building, everyone started the chant with the c's up like 20, they showed him on the screen quickly before a foul shot and the place went nuts
 
There were fifteen seconds left in the game and the heat were up 25 points in the second one. That was just completely unnecessary.
 
glad the miami guys got what they deserved

also loved seeing THE ANSWER back in Philly and how fucking ridiculous was Iggy's dunk?
 
there is no way any team from the east gets past the spurs or the thunder. and i say this as a celtics fan
 
hahaha okay bro. If its OKC vs Heat I LBJ/WADE> Westbrook/Durant everytime. It would be a fucking cake walk for them. Now if its the Spurs, it would be a different game, but I need to see how the OKC and Spurs series goes before I can make judgement on that.
 
I really doubt Thunder will be in the conversation by this time. Why? Spurs are playing the best team ball in the league.

Heat and Thunder? They have no shot against the Spurs. Not only do they have the two super star formula fans seems to rely on, they have a squad full of shooters and rarely miss their defensive match-ups. The Spurs are the best team in basketball and Duncan is playing as though he's 26. This is all coming from a through and through Lakers fan. Duncan will get his 5th before LeBron get his 1st. Why? Team ball.

Spurs/Heat. Spurs in 6.
 
beat the 76ers baby, pretty respectable considering everything. I could give a fuck if duncan gets his 5th or durant rolls us all, I just want to do the best we can and I dont want bron bron to win

I was slightly intoxicated when I first wrote that, obviously wouldn't be a cake walk. The point is though that I would take Wade/LBJ over West/Durant any day of the week. And Miami is also on fire right now, fucking Wade and LBJ are putting on a clinic about how to put the team on your back.

It will be interesting to see how OKC does against the Spurs. If the Spurs steam roll them I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happen to the Heat.
 
Who ever comes out of the West will win.

The Spurs vs OKC match up will be great and will go 7 games why?...both teams play great team ball and OKC has limited their turn overs in the post season after leading the league in the regular season in turnovers, while the Spurs are full of great veterans who are stellar on defense and have great shooters. If OKC can play fast paced transition basketball they will win, if the Spurs can take it down to their speed they will win.

In the end I give the edge to the Spurs because of their bench players, so much production there.

Boston beats the heat in 6 cause nobody on the heat can match up with Rondo, and if Bosh is still out KG will cause problems for the Heat as well.
 
Havent the Spurs won the last ten straight meetings with OKC?

I got the Spurs winning it all. I just want to see the Celtics beat the Heat, but im not sure if thats realistic or not.
 
Spurs are winning the title. How could they not?? They've won their past 20 games!! They absolutely murdered OKC last night. The Thunder just cant hang with them, they are just that good of a team. I mean, the Thunder scored 67 pts. in the second half and STILL lost. How does that, 120 pts. against the thunder? Thats CRAZY!
Go Spurs, mostly because the biased mother ship ESPN does NOT want them to win because they know that the Spurs in the finals will kill the OKC v. MIA finals, and they also know that MIA wont even stand a chance against SAS.
 
Also Westbrook is a chump, he needs to pass the fucking ball if they want to win. You know that there is a problem when your PG is taking more shots than Durant (the top scorer).
Also Tony Parker can straight up ball. That 360 layup was sooooo nasty
 
Both the games OKC could have won...

Game one shoulda been theres but OKC fell apart and SAS light up. Game two they cut a 22 point deficit to 6 but just couldnt pull it in.

I think OKC figured out how to slow them down and score a bit with that smaller line up. they just cant have perkins and ibaka on the floor at the same time. those pick and rolls were making westbrook run all over the place.
 
The NBA sucks. Here's some ways to make it better:
http://www.vice.com/read/boyles-brains---ways-to-improve-basketball?utm_source=vicetumblr

Eavesdropping Option[/b]

All members of Team A and Team B, including coaches and referees, will be equipped with wireless microphone headsets and assigned a personal channel on a radio frequency. Under every seat in the arena will be a set of headphones and small radio receiving voice transmissions from the microphones. Game-goers can tune into any channel they want. Fans at home can buy a special digital box to enjoy the eavesdropping feature.

Substance Day[/b]

One game per season will be played under the influence of whatever legal or illegal substance a team wants, to whatever degree they want to be “on” it. The substance(s) must be kept private until the end of the game.

Dad Overtime[/b]

In the event of a tie, all members of Team A and Team B will be swapped out for their dads. If a dad is deceased or otherwise absent, his son may choose a surrogate dad. If no surrogate dads are available, the son must try to gain points for his team by complaining about his dad on the FanCam. If a son complains about anything other than his dad his team will be penalized.

Lightning Erection Round[/b]

In the last 20 seconds of a quarter, Team B has possession of the ball. If all on-court members of Team A can give themselves erections, or give one erection to a player on Team B, their team will receive a 10-point bonus.

Big Bear Position[/b]

A new player with a BMI over 40 will fill this sixth on-court position. Big Bear’s primary duty will be creating blocks and obstructions. Since they will naturally move slower than other players, it will also be their duty to live-tweet the game. Big Bears will additionally be in charge of choosing and distributing carbs to the opposing team for the Carb Penalty.

Carb Penalty[/b]

Normally when a player fouls six times, they aren’t allowed to play for the remainder of the game. Instead of sitting out, they will now receive a Carb Penalty. A Big Bear from the opposing team will select a 1,000 - 1,500 calorie carbohydrate-based food product for the penalized player to binge-eat. If the penalized player doesn’t vomit, his team will receive a 2-point bonus at the end of the quarter. If he doesn’t vomit for the entire game his team will receive a 4-point bonus.

Casual Friday[/b]

Every Friday all members of the NBA will wear khakis and Hawaiian shirts.

Character Fouls[/b]

A player or coach can be fouled for character flaws as well as unsportsmanlike conduct.

Character Fouls will be determined by the wives or girlfriends of the players, and will occur at seemingly arbitrary times. Team members without wives or girlfriends will be assigned a personal Zen master, who will spend as much off-court time with them as a wife or girlfriend would.

Super Ball Day[/b]

One game every season will be played with ten balls. All players must always be holding, passing, or shooting at least one ball.

Water Wonderland Day[/b]

One game per season will be played on a court made of waterbed material. The basketball will be exchanged for a regulation-sized water balloon. When a water-ball breaks, it will be replaced with a slightly larger one. By the fourth quarter, the water-ball will likely be so big that players will need to work as a team to roll it. All players will be equipped with Super Soaker guns on hip belts. These games will be filmed with slow-motion cameras.

 
didnt see much issue with the referees in this game... 1 or two missed calls for both sides but not much to alter the game to much for the heat.
 
haha did u not see Rondo get sacked by Wade in the head when it was tied at 1:05, or when Wade kicked at KG? no issues with the refs... what r u talking about!?
