Who is watching the NBA playoff?

[Sfla80]

I did and it was painful but when the game is that close there is always a risk of a call going the wrong way. Bummer for SA but I think it will motivate them for game 3.

It makes it even worse when the NBA and the refs come out and say. We were wrong, it should have been a foul.

Plus they didn't even address the other "at least" 2 other fouls on same play....

I understand the frustration but bad calls happen. Like I said I see SA coming out motivated and blowing out OKC in game 3

sound like it was a good thing i didnt watch

nope you would have been really upset. SA still had opportunity to win even with the bad call though and blew it

[Sfla80]

So many things wrong in that last play. Aldredge jersey was almost pulled off of him.

The guy who shot the ball, no need to take a 3. Should have ball faked and stepped in for a mid range shot. Plenty of time

Kind of sounds like that Miami heat comeback playoff or finals game when allen banged that 3 pointer fallin off the court

[Bio-Active]

Miami looked good again last night. I sure would like to see Miami get to the next round and play Cleveland

[Proximal]

Miami did play them well during the season, fingers crossed.

Nightmare scenario - Steph heals up somewhat (won't be 100% for months), plays well enough to beat what I'm hoping will be SA, but in the process reinjures it & is useless against Cleveland. F - me!

GS even without curry can still beat any team out there right now.

With that said SA, will win a series but still will be a damp good one. That series is my champion ship game.

idk about that.... Without curry it gives both SA and Cleveland at least a chance but I think Curry will be back if SA beats OKC

[RaginCajun]

LeBron is tearing it up tonight!

[Sfla80]

Cleveland in general man.

They have been unstoppable

[Proximal]

I'm getting stressed - playoffs are NOT going the way I'd hoped.

Half and half for me. I knew heat would go to finals but was hoping at least conf. Finals against Cleveland.

Other then that I love this. GS lost, SA (although wanted them to win) lost.

It's very unexpected so far.

James about to go to his 7 (?) Straight finals appearance

[zaggahamma]

Glad i didn't invest too much time and even missed the aldridge jersey being ripped off no harm no foul game let alone to try to prop up the made up legend of the nba almost seems like a WWE sometimes

[Bio-Active]

It's really looking like Cleveland is the team to beat. They are healthy. Totally different team then last year. OKC is really getting it together at the right time as well. Will be interesting to see how GS responds tonight

I'm going for okc now.

It's kinda like when the Patriots went undefeated and lost in superbowl.

GS won most games in history

yes very much like that nfl year....i actually predicted the giants winning they were the hot team

[Sfla80]

Ok you guys have been quiet here.

I wanna ask opinions on everyone saying NBA is fixed and making them go to game 7.

I have my opinion but want feed back first.

[zaggahamma]

i didnt see last nights game but i often think that refs cant suck as bad as they do sometimes so it just seems more likely ....cuz it happens way too often favoring teams calling fouls on one end for contact and not the other, etc, etc.

[zaggahamma]

bio always figures its part of the game...which i agree that no officiating is going to be 100% but IT HAS TO BE RARE....not the norm

[Sfla80]

Agreed some calls might go favored sometimes. Happens in football too.

But LeBron putting 41 up two straight games. And cavs leading parts of the game by 20-30 points. That has nothing to do with refs or anything else.

[Proximal]

Fvck, I thought the Cavs were dead, thanks for reviving this thread and rubbing salt in my wounds! I've been avoiding ESPN because of this.

God, I thought "King" James was finally going to be shown as a phony & now he's given the opportunity to shine. Haven't been this pissed since Ray Allen bailed him out against SA

Got last nights game taped, but won't watch unless GS wins # 7. Don't watch any games live in fear of a stoke and/or a remote thrown through the TV.

There's been times in the past I thought games were called with an agenda in mind, wouldn't surprise me.

How much is Bogut's absence hurting them?

Did I mention I f'n hate LeBron James?

Rant over for now.

[zaggahamma]

He is a phony and favored IMHO

not saying he isnt good just saying in i think theres better and been better

Lets get this in game 7 GSW

Like i said i didn't watch it but i brought it up so ftr i think it woukd be easy to score 40 if fouls were lopsidedly called

honestly the way Cleveland is playing and GS injuries. I really think Cleveland has a chance of winning game seven. On top of the injuries curry just looks bad

[Sfla80]

Phony...come on guys be real.

Besides leading both them in almost every stat.

They guy scored 41 Teo straight games. 16 rebounds in one of those. And almost triple double last night. Think he had 11 assists.

There is a difference between hating a player and being real about it.

He is putting on a show right now.

I absolutely hate brady. But brady is one of the best qb of all time.

[Sfla80]

And zag 6 points off of free throws. So give him 34 points lol plus steals, blocks.....

[Proximal]

Phony is perhaps a little unfair, but to the best of my recollection, the king and the self admitted greatest player in the world is typically underwhelming in the championship series he has played in and that has contributed to his team's less than ideal winning percentage in those finals. One could argue that the stats are there, but he has come up lacking in big championship games in the past.

Sorry for coming off grumpy. Just finishing off a book on my basketball hero, Michael Jordan. Very complete biography, illustrates a LOT of positives, but points out some GLARING negatives. Wish I hadn't read them, he was THE LEGEND to me, now it's somewhat tarnished.

I was in the ski box watching them play portland the last year the bulls won the finals. I was always a big Jordan and bulls fan. I remember the blazers being ahead and everyone up there being all over me about it but the Bulls came back and won the game!

What's funny is I was going to compare him too. When u said LeBron says he's the greatest.

Mike was a cocky player. I actually did not like him. (40 shots a game) but I will say he is the greatest.

The thing is with these guys (any sport) we as fans make them this way. They call Mike the greats. James king. And so on. You would get a big ass head 9n your shoulders too if millions worshipped u.

[Mp859]

Lmao at you calling James a phony.

His numbers speak for themselves. He dominates anyone and everyone on the court. Honest question. Who is better right now all around than lebron? I'm not even a fan but you cannot deny greatness.

No, you are right, I was too harsh. I am not great with memorizing stats though, so would have to double check my claims, but I just remember him coming up short on too many finals games, thus my statement.

A little too much under the influence of wine right now, but also not impressed with his actions in Cleveland, so won't try to elaborate.

Very cool! BTW, born & raised in Chicago, actually moved the year they drafted MJ. Saw the Bulls when they had Jerry Sloan back in the day.

Yes he is a good.player I'll never deny it and although a many ill never understand any one not liking brady lol

Of course the football deflating drama made that worse

My football hatred has been aaron rodgers

Im off sunday so LET'S GO WARRIORS!!!!

[Proximal]

Didn't watch, but wanted to congratulate Cavs fans out there. Hey, LeBron's been plays like a beast and have to give credit where credit is due! Perhaps I'll watch the games later this week to watch everything I've read about LeBron.
