I'm rooting for the Warriors. Eff the Clips. They're nothing but L*ker fans in disguise.

No they're not. Talking to many Laker fans, none of them like the Clippers. It's a Laker town. Clippers fans should be commended for sticking with their over the years.
 
What the hell is going on with the Pacers? I expected them to come out and make a statement tonight, and instead they're down in the 3rd quarter to the terrible Hawks.
 
All this lower seed success today....makes me nervous man!

They thought they could just turn it on! There record since the break was bad, under .500! Chemistry has been shit since the Granger trade as well. Go Hawks!

I fully expect Pacer players to start punching each other on the court. All the talk about Paul George being a potential MVP made me laugh earlier this season, and he isn't close to a "superstar," IMO, but the biggest surprise is how rapidly Roy Hibbert's game has gone away. Too many miles on him already?

Plus look at that record vs playoffs team you posted. Pacers record vs playoffs this year was like .200
 
Crowd is starting to boo the Pacers ... wow!
 
Indy looking they straight don't give a fuck right now.

Are we glad we didn't get him and his huge contract now? Lol

I was so bummed when Indiana "matched" (not really a true match of contract, but they maxed him out) before the 2012-13 season. Now, the Blazers are literally paying 1/3 of Hibbert's contract to Lopez, and also had money left for Mo Williams, Wright, and Robinson without going anywhere near the tax threshold.

Game 2 is either going to be a war with them fighting to get back in the title picture, or it will be a team that has quit just playing out the season.
 
Hawks are ripping out whatever is left of the Pacer team's soul right now. Wow.
 
Oh shit I forgot they had Nate on their coaching staff, that's their problem right there.

I dont care about Indy but this is hard for me to watch. Ouch

Hibbert clearly isn't healthy, both physically and mentally. Without him, their defense pretty much sucks, and they have a headcase in Lance Stephenson who will likely implode when the team he is on isn't winning.
 
LMAO at Stephenson going streetball, and dribbling it off of his foot! Does he think he's Sebastian Telfair?
 
Can't wait for this MEM okc game. Shits going to be physical and rowdy. C'mon grizz
 
@ESPNStatsInfo: Pacers are the 4th 1 seed to lose to an 8 in Game 1 since 2003. The last 2 times that happened (2011 and 2007), the 1 seed lost the series

3 games, 3 upsets.

I suppose you could call the Toronto game an upset, but I have the Nets winning that series in 6 games. DeRozan and Lowry against the veteran Nets seemed like a mismatch to me, on paper. I didn't expect the Raptors to lose game 1, though.
 
Man if The Pacers want to play the Blazers in the finals they better get their act together.
