Around the NBA: Playoffs Edition

[PapaG]

Blake getting abused on "defense" by Terry one time down the court and then by Barea next time down. You know it's bad when you're getting physically dominated by J.J. Barea.

BNM

It's not like Terry didn't abuse Miller...

 

[Boob-No-More]

More like 11 FT's now.

Yep, the Lakers had to foul after the turnover. But Kidd left the door open with that miss.

Good look by Kobe, I thought that was going in.

 

[PapaG]

Kobe blows the three for the win.

I just looked at the fouls, they really let them play just like they should in the playoffs. Is it just me or does it seem like they let you play more and more the farther you get in the playoffs tell the Finals.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great game. Go Mavs!!

Nah, Stern has a match-up he likes, so Game 1 didn't matter. I expect a Laker parade to the foul line in Game 2. If not, I'll be shocked.

 

[KingSpeed]

A sweep would be nice.

Miller had nothing to do with Terry in that series.

Miller had nothing to do with Terry in that series.

Tell me about it...

Miller had nothing to do with anything related to defense in that series.

 

[MickZagger]

Battier and Gasol bring some sanity to the Grizzlies.

 

[The Professional Fan]

It just occurred to me that the Blazers would be the worst team in the PAC NW had Seattle and Vancouver stuck around.

 

[PapaG]

Scotty Brooks finally decided to double-team Randolph, and Zach is playing like crap.

How could have guessed it, other than me after Game 1?

The Spurs doubled Zach all series long.

 

[PapaG]

The Spurs doubled Zach all series long.

The Spurs had no size. McDyess and Blair were primary defenders on either Zach or Gasol. It was a mismatch.

 

[KingSpeed]

Zbo still got 15/9 and they still outplayed the Thunder outside of that little stretch of threes by Maynor. Grizz quickly turned 21 point 4th qtr deficit into a 6 point deficit in about 5 minutes. I think the Grizz win this series in 6 games, maybe 5.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cant wait for Mavs/Lakers game 2!!!

 

[magnifier661]

Rose is a fucking stud! We were one ball away from getting him too. DAMN!

 

[KingSpeed]

Rose is a fucking stud! We were one ball away from getting him too. DAMN!

We were? He was pretty horrible tonight. If you take a billion shots, eventually you'll score 24 points. He also let Teague light him up. Bulls won because of Noah and Deng.

 

[KingSpeed]

Blake is horrible. So scared playing with Kobe.

 

[MickZagger]

The Lakers look ordinary.

 

[MickZagger]

Steve Blake sucks! LMAO!

 

[Sug]

The Lakers look ordinary.

Well they are only down 10, and Kobe still has some fire in his belly.

 

[Sug]

Kidd is cold blooded

 

[tlongII]

The Lakers are done.

 

[Sug]

WOW Lakers are getting carved like a turkey

 

[Sug]

Was that some Mexican English on that ball? Spinglish?

 

[MickZagger]

Barea is flat out running a clinic right now.

 

[Sug]

Barea is flat out running a clinic right now.

That last three attempt was pretty bad though
