2012 NBA Playoffs

[THE HCP]

Sorry, but I'm rooting for the Lakers right now!

 

[bigbailes]

faried with a sick put back dunk in traffic!

 

[KingSpeed]

Steve Blake showing up Andre Miller. Maybe Nate was right.

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck. I miss this kind of drama and intensity. Fuckin Blazers. Stop screwin around and get back to the playoffs.

 

[illmatic99]

Dre is so crafty. God damn.

 

[illmatic99]

Wonder what it would take for DEN not to match McGee. That kid can be such a beast in the right environment.

I really like Denver's GM.

He traded a player who's on a ridiculous contract, 29 years old, for an up and coming player with potential.

Building the roster with an eye on the future.

I fear we're going to go the other way and "re-tool" and bring in players pushing 30 because Paul is extremely impatient.

Ya well, he gave Nene that contract in the first place.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

And he quickly realized his mistake and got out of it before it was too late.

DEN GM is good....good value for Carmelo as well....

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Metta Peace won't shake Harden's hand before the playoff game.

Here's a much, much worse injury, to Eduardo Najera April 6, from a Jon Brockman elbow.

Dante Cunningham doing work.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Dante Cunningham doing work.

Dante was a very solid draft pick by the Blazer front office. And Nate played him as a rookie. I hated losing him in the trade.

 

[illmatic99]

I prefer this kind of physical, low scoring game rather than games in which guys like Wade or Durant go to the line 20 times and inflate scores.

 

[illmatic99]

Clips have won more playoff series than we have in the last 10 years.

This is depressing.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Clips have won more playoff series than we have in the last 10 years.

This is depressing.

Vinnie D has now advanced out of the first round as many times as one of the best young coaches in the NBA, and who will be sought after hard this offseason

Clips have won more playoff series than we have in the last 10 years.

This is depressing.

You can take comfort in the knowledge that they have zero chance of getting past the second round.

 

[jlprk]

Who has inherited the mantle of Best Basketball Coach in Los Angeles?

John Wooden----->Phil Jackson----->Vinnie del Negro

 

[illmatic99]

Nice game PHL @ BOS here.

Holiday's got some serious swag. Blowin kisses to the crowd after hitting a 3.

 

[MickZagger]

It took a little while. But, Evan Turner's living up to his #2 selection. The guy plays great defense, too.

 

[illmatic99]

He can get to the rim at will. Just can't finish as well as he should. He's not that young either.

 

[illmatic99]

That was a situation where he should NOT have fouled. Come on, Rondo.

Doc Rivers is an idiot.

 

[Natebishop3]

It took a little while. But, Evan Turner's living up to his #2 selection. The guy plays great defense, too.

I have been saying for a while that we should have traded for him when he had low value.

 

[illmatic99]

Nic is better than ET. And younger.

 

[MickZagger]

I think OKC is going to take this series easily. Either a sweep, or finish them off in 5 games.

 

[MickZagger]

How many fucking shots is Westbrook going to put up? Jeezus!

 

[illmatic99]

DWade is fuckin amazing. Crossover to eurostep to reverse layup. Good god. What a move.

 

[illmatic99]

Make some FTs damnit. Ruining an otherwise great game.

 

[illmatic99]

If it's IND vs PHL conference finals, ESPN is gonna lose some big money.
