NJTank Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Oh yeah, and what would be the best part is the ESPN moaning over it. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 What would rock: Pacers-Spurs NBA FinalsI wouldn't mind that at all, because the Spurs to me are a very fun team to watch and Indiana looks like they have a legit chance to beat the Heat. I think tonight was more a case of Miami not showing up then anything else, but the Pacers played well. I still think Miami will take the series in six games, but Indiana will be in just about every one of these games. They are good enough to give the Heat matchup problems, especially inside. The Heat couldn't do anything in the paint against the Pacers until the fourth quarter.The Clippers I don't think have any real chance in that series if the Spurs are going to play like this every night out. All San Antonio has to do is hold the Clippers to 90 points and they will win 9 times out of 10, because LA can't do anything to stop the Spurs on offense. They can't outrun them and if they try to play a half court game the Spurs are going to make it so that somebody other then Blake Griffin will have to beat them inside. What scared me with that game is knowing that the Clippers didn't play that bad. They played worse games in winning efforts against Memphis. It would be one thing if they just came out flat, but that didn't happen, so you have to say when both teams are playing at their best, the Spurs are just flat out better.The only hope I see for the Clippers is that tonight was probably the best game Tim Duncan will play this series and the worst game Chris Paul will play. But again the Clippers did not play terrible tonight and they still lost by nearly 20 points.I could easily see this series being over with in four or five games after what I saw tonight.

Lights Out Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Not really sure what you were watching, but the Clippers largely played terribly last night. The offense was a constant cycle of hot streaks and then wasted possessions. The perimeter D was inexcusably poor. I think they can win this series, but not without better performances from CP3, BG, and the whole team in regards to perimeter D.

The_Admiral Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Big Time Vinny's really breaking bad on the Bulls now that he won a playoff round and they didn't. Called them a clusterf-ck and everything. What a clown-ass. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have a lot of built-in animus towards Oklahoma City, but their alternating-colors sections looks so hopelessly dorky. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Who the hell are these refs? This game is being terribly officiated. One of the worst I've seen in a while, on both sides.

Kramerica Industries Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (For record keeping purposes) - 7:45 left in 4th quarter.OKC 4-20 in the 2nd half. Good LA defense, or just poor OKC offense? Which one is more prevalent for this, so far?UPDATE - Lakers led 75-68 with 2:09 to play.8-0 run by OKC since.What a chokejob by LA this would be if they lose. They aren't winning if they head back to Staples down 0-2. Splitting on the road, especially after Game 1, would be monstrous. Down 0-2, they aren't getting past five games max. And losing in that fashion would just be icing, given how well they played on D in the second half.UPDATE #2 - And that's game. OKC leads 2-0, and the Lakers best chance to win this series has gone by the wayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 They're playing "Whoomp! There It Is" here. I just want to pat Oklahoma City on its collective head sometimes.What a win. I do not feel this team should be where it is but what a thing they have going. Shame it isn't going in Seattle. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I want to say, "Poor Lakers," but then I remember they've won all sorts of titles and stop caring.

Rockstar Matt Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Honestly, I'd have rather us lose by 20+ again then to blow it like we did lol. Man, at least we're playing better. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I love the Oklahoma City fanbase. Very energetic and proved they deserve an NBA franchise when the Hornets were stuck there for two years.Seattle didn't deserve to be ripped of their franchise, however. That will forever be a huge injustice and strike against the NBA. Just because Seattle was down in the dumps doesn't mean their fans were deserving of such a fate. Hopefully that will eventually be absolved in some form before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmoehrin Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Game two may have been the best shot the Lakers had at making this a series.I don't see how they can beat the Thunder 4 out of 5 even with 3 home games.The Thunder did not play that well in game 2 and the Lakers couldn't close them out. You have to win those type of games in the playoffs. That's about as close as your going to get to being handed a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmoehrin Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 chris bosh for mvp!The Heat do not have a replacement for him and I doubt you'll see him until the NBA FInals if the Heat even get that far, which is looking like a really big if.Indiana has a really good chance at taking this series. The Heat just cannot match up size wise with the Pacers right now. They need to get out and run the floor but when you don't have much bench depth you can only play that way for so long before it catches up with you.
