| Miami beat New York, 104-94 (Miami up 2-0) Indiana beat Orlando, 93-78 (series tied 1-1) Oklahoma City beat Dallas, 102-99 (Oklahoma City up 2-0) Amare Stoudamire of the New York Knicks injures left hand after game 2 of Heat-New York series. He's expected to miss game 3. Article: http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/7878302/2012-nba-playoffs-no-hurt-ligaments-tendons-new-york-knicks-amare-stoudemire-source-says |
 |
| So Rondo ended up being suspended for Game 2, Ray Allen is still out as well... Amare punches a fire extinguisher container and cuts his hand after losing game 2. What a moron, they're on their way to getting swept again regardless though. |
| The whining this season is astonishing. |
| I really hope the Knicks win at least ONE game. -_- I'm happy that my Clippers and Celtics stole home court back. Clippers did it amazingly. |
 |
| Really impressive game by Paul Pierce. |

| Nuggets -Lakers: Game 7 Predictions Artest elbows Andre Miller 20ft Kobe gets away with 5-10 elbow Bynum kills Ty Lawson |
| Trying too hard you are. |
|
| So far Memphis/LA Clippers has been the best series to watch for me. Would like to see the Grizzlies complete the comeback so they can face the Spurs next round. |
| Great games from Artest, Blake, Gasol, and Bynum. The dagger 3 from Kobe was the icing on the cake. Flop city is going home today, or getting swept by San Antonio. |
|
| Oh man, and I was really rooting for the Nuggets... Oh well, at least I can hope that the Grizz can do something today. |
Gunbladewarrior said: Trying too hard you are. I'll just assume you're still cranky from Knicks getting ass raped as usual. So it looks like Spurs vs Thunder c-finals. If Gasol plays like he did with the Nuggets game 7, perhaps the Lakers will avoid the sweep. |
| Why would I be cranky? I'm not a Knicks fan. I just thought you were trying too hard to be funny. Maybe you should use that time to actually watch basketball. RY0 said: Oh man, and I was really rooting for the Nuggets... Oh well, at least I can hope that the Grizz can do something today. Nope. |
|
| Loved the tough defensive game 7 today. The Clippers bench was the difference and changed the game at the beginning of the 4th. Memphis seemed to miss alot of short range shots down the stretch as well. |
| Damn, disappointed that Flop City eliminated the Grizz. Oh, well. It'll be fun seeing them get annihilated by the Spurs. |
 |
| I really wanted the Grizzlies to come back win that game 7 honestly.. they have the better starting 5 but their bench fucking blows, OJ Mayo and that's it. I still feel bad for the Bulls, especially since that was my pick this year.. ;; Oh well, not really sure who I am pulling for now.. |
Homolust said: Damn, disappointed that Flop City eliminated the Grizz. Oh, well. It'll be fun seeing them get annihilated by the Spurs. Ever since their game 1 epic fail, I predicted they (the Grizzlies) would lose the series...even if it went the full 7 games. That game alone showed the lack of discipline on the team and the poor coaching...like jacking up long 3's with like 15 secs on the shot-clock. But too bad...I wanted them to play the Spurs, since they match up better with them than the Clippers do (see last year's 1st rounder). |
 |
| Tonight's matches will be interesting. I'd love to see the Sixers win it tonight, they were close in the first game. |
RY0 said: Tonight's matches will be interesting. I'd love to see the Sixers win it tonight, they were close in the first game. 1st game was good, but 2nd game was not. 76ers were fortunate to steal game 2. They should not have been goofing around with those trick shots. Save that for the street. 2nd game on the other hand....the commentators were correct about the Lakers not having their legs. I don't see them winning the series. They're gonna have to make some serious changes in the offseason. |

Maybe you should use that time to actually watch basket Not sure what the second part is directed at. And Lakers are a known dirty playing team who beat up 5fters. Might as well have been a literal post. |

|
| Nice late rally by the Thunder finishing with a 9-0 run to win by 2pts. Tough defensive game, then they just get 4 layups making it look easy. |
| They practically gave it away. Kobe choking going 2-7, and throwing away 2 critical TO didn't exactly help. |
| No mention of the Heat choking. Shocking. ------ KG is ballin this post season. |
|
| Heat are done unless LeBron decides to finally not care about everyone's double standard. No Bosh, a declining Wade, and Joel Anthony guarding someone 7'1. Even if they get passed Celtics + Indiana I see them losing to Thunder or Spurs anyway. |
| So now the excuses are already being made. Not even halfway through the season everyone was claiming how deep they were. |
|
| Pacers dominating, up 20 with 2:43 left in the game. Balanced scoring attack and tough defense = win. |
| I'm not sure how losing someone allstar caliber is an excuse for losing but sure. Might as well give Westbrook a torn ACL then expect Thunder to dominate anyway. |
| throwback year or something? garnett and duncan beasting this post season |
Gunbladewarrior said: So now the excuses are already being made. Not even halfway through the season everyone was claiming how deep they were. They weren't even deep to begin with. Take a good look at who they have on their bench. |
| Oh Wade, what am I going to do with you? |
|
| Man so many people hurt this season, its crazy. I was really shocked when D Rose aka the previous MVP got hurt, i know its old news but man its too bad |
 |
Homolust said: Oh Wade, what am I going to do with you? Wade can play horrible all he wants. I'm actually starting to feel sympathetic for LeBron as he'll of course get bashed all next year for not having a ring again despite making some of the biggest playoff contributions of all time while his team plays like garbage. |
| Lol @ miami. What a flop it was. Then again, the Bulls without Rose to exit in first round was pretty bad as well considering how the media kept hyping up how good their team was without Rose. Kinda like the consistent hype of the Heat when they really only have 3 consistent scorer, and one of them was injured. |
TravSavage said: Gunbladewarrior said: So now the excuses are already being made. Not even halfway through the season everyone was claiming how deep they were. They weren't even deep to begin with. Take a good look at who they have on their bench. When they came out strong at the beginning of the season they were being called by far the best team in the league. It wasn't until after the AllStar break that the bench was called into question. Even with that they were the favorites to win it all. |
|
| Spurs have the best bench by far in the league...although it wasn't cemented as such until after the trade dead-line. Their bench is easily better than the Bobcat's starting 5. Neal/Manu/S Jackson/Diaw/Bonner/Splitter<----3 definite starters in that group. It would have been 4 if TJ Ford didn't re-injure his neck. The Heat actually had a decent bench when healthy. Norris Colie/ Mike Miller/ Shane Battier/ Udonis Haslem.....that's 9 deep. See the difference there was that....they were all their at the start of the season. Battier was the only one not on the team last year...but he's easy to incorporate into most systems anyways. And most teams only go like 8 deep in the post-season anyways. But oh wells...they're the NBA's version of the Titans this year. |
|
| Nice close out by the Lakers last night........ wtf 41-42 free throws. Some stupid fouls at the end, Harden apparently didnt learn that grabbing Kobe would be a foul. The game seemed like a reverse of game 2, Thunder late lead... only to lose it in the final few minutes. Clippers blew their huge early lead in the game, tied at 57 halfway through the 3rd quarter right now. edit: Spurs 21-0 run up 9pts wow |

| Not once during that 20+ point lead did I believe the Clippers would win. That 24-0 run pretty much summed up the way rthe Spurs have been playing this post season. |
|
| No lead is safe in the playoffs this postseason. Thunder/Lakers game 4 ended exactly like game 2 with a Thunder comeback win. Nice run by Westbrook and Durant in the 4th qtr. |
| Durant with part 2 to "Shattered Dreams." Man that sucked to watch. Wish I could've been playing "Doodle Jump" or something instead of watching that 3 go in. |
| LeBron playing like the MVP he is. |
|
| Miami Heat beat the Indiana Pacers, 101-93. I know there is alot of animosity towards LeBron, but you gotta give him and D-Wade credit. That was a VERY impressive performance between them, especially in a virtual must-win game. There was a stretch where LeBron and D-Wade scored 38 consecutive points for the Heat. But they'll probably have to play close to that every game to win. |
|
Homolust said: Jesus the guy almost pulled a triple double with 40 points. :oLeBron playing like the MVP he is. |
| I still say Spurs will win it all this year. They're playing on a whole other level. And they're achieving this by starting only 2 players who are even considered offensive threats. |
|
| Didnt realize until today that the Spurs are on an 18 game win streak. Finishing the season with 10 straight wins then the 2 sweeps to start the playoffs. Pretty dam impressive, really looking forward to the most likely conference finals vs OKC. |
| Kobe gets 42 on 54% shooting and they lose. Peace out Gasol. It was fun while it lasted. |
|
Gunbladewarrior said: Kobe gets 42 on 54% shooting and they lose. Peace out Gasol. It was fun while it lasted. Yep, that pretty much summed it up. It ended up in a blow-out basically. Others might "rage quit" too after today's game. |
|
| Russell Westbrook elimanted the lakers lol, |
| Ignore 7'2 AllStar center that has clear advantage, and keep jacking up 3s. lol Gotta love the Pacers. |
|
| Was kind of funny seeing the Pacers get punked in game 5, apparently they dont like being on the receiving end of rough play which is what they themselves have been doing to their opponents all year. Missed game 6, but saw Wade had 41 to close them out. |
| kids check out the sixers and celtics GAME 7. i personally hate both teams but im going with the celtics. |
| this is my god damn signature. |
