2014 NBA Playoffs

RE: NBA Playoffs

I have no idea what to think the Pacers-Wizards. A couple of months ago this wouldn't even be a question, but count me among those who still aren't sold on the Pacers recapturing their form after struggling against a mediocre Atlanta team. And the media acting like Hibbert's 13 and 7 is something impressive is pretty hilarious, since it's only that way when compared to his previous atrocious numbers this series. Paul George is playing well though.

Washington is Cali's new flavor of the month which usually is a sign that the team/player is not too good. But I was really impressed with how they played vs. Chicago. Having won that series in such easy fashion I don't know if experience is going to be much of a factor. Indy will definitely have to play much better than they did vs. Atlanta.

Really strong offensive display by the Nets in the first half. The Raptors need to step up their D.

^All year their defensive stats were one of the better ones in the league. No D today though.

This is going to be tough for the Raptors. They will make a run but the Nets will probably hold them off.

What's with the calls though? Just let them play man...

Refereeing has been pretty terrible.

RE: NBA Playoffs

That blocking foul on Williams was borderline, looked like a charge though. Haven't seen too many other bad calls though.

Not sure why Joe Johnson is so tough for them to guard, he is a little big for Ross but he shouldn't be blowing by anyone at this point. That was just weak defense.

One reason I'd be happy to see Toronto lose is it would mean less times we have to see Drake in the stands.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Toronto's defense was better that quarter but the shot selection from Ross and Lowry has been bad at best.

Jay Z is no picnic either

Johnson torching the Raps...No answer for it.

Beyonce helps.

Another horrible call...boy oh boy

RE: NBA Playoffs

I thought they got them both right man, tough calls but that's how I saw them. Toronto's lack of rebounding has been what's kept them from getting back in the game.

First no second yes. Lowry was there, outside the lined , established.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Garnet did not even touch Lowry, and Deron survives the 6th faul. Hilarious.

RE: NBA Playoffs

Very unveteran like play from KG at the end of this game, the dumb Technical and two fouls putting Toronto on the line with the clock stopped.

 

[DarthFed]

RE: NBA Playoffs

I thought he was still moving, no doubt he was outside the restricted area. Either way, Deron's best Nick Anderson impression has kept this interesting. First time it's actually been a close game since midway through the 2nd.

The biggest D from Raps come in the last 6 secs. Can they score now ?

Unreal how boneheaded some NBA players can be.
