Refs following the script v. Brooklyn. Sucks not being the chosen ones.
 
Giving the ball back to BKN but what about the foul?
 
BKN followed the Clips model and choked down the stretch. How many shots did they miss in the last three minutes?
 
Give the Heat credit for smothering defense on the last possession.
 
Good D by Miami. Nets couldn't get a shot up. And then there were 7 teams...
 
Hopefully the narrative is the San Antonio isn't as strong as Miami... That way the refs will give us game 5.
 
2014 Thunder playoff summary:

1st round: Twice they had a 4 point play go in their favor and influence the ending of the game.
2nd round: Back to back games with questionable calls in the Thunder's favor.

As a Blazer fan, all I can hope is Dame and LMA get the KD and Westbrook NBA treatment next year.

I'm tired of the Thunder getting all the calls ,ever since that bad goal tending call a few years back all I know is the NBA lets the Thunder do whatever they want. KD sits at the free throw line all game long after missed field goal attempts (even when he had no chance to make the shot).

The Jordan era was good for people from Chicago and frontrunners. Please don't make OKC the next team to be the golden child of the NBA.
 
Wow Ibaka is out for the rest of the playoffs. Bye bye thunders hopes
 
Ibaka did not get the Thunder this far. They will get by on all the questionable calls from the NBA in their favor.

Ibaka is one of the best defensive players in the nba. To say he hasn't been important is an ignorant display of disrespect.

He is great a defense player. But he had nothing to do with the Thunder's 4 point plats in the first round. And he had nothing to do with back to back games that had the Thunder in favor on the calls.
There is a reason he leads the league in blocks multiple years and not get DPOY.

Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

I'm not saying there weren't questionable calls. I'm just saying that SlyPokerDog is a total asshat if you think losing your best defensive player, and defensive anchor isn't a huge blow.

Stop drinking gasoline

Ex-Warriors coach Jackson rejoins ESPN's NBA coverage

http://www.nba.com/2014/news/05/17/mark-jackson-rejoins-espn.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpts

Former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson has agreed to a multiyear deal to rejoin ESPN's lead NBA announcing team.

Jackson is scheduled to work the Eastern Conference finals and NBA Finals with Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy. They called the last of their five straight NBA Finals together in 2011. ESPN is making the announcement Saturday.

Jackson then went straight from TV to coaching and led the Warriors to the playoffs the last two seasons. But he was fired earlier this month after Golden State went 51-31 and lost to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round. The Warriors have hired Steve Kerr, another analyst without coaching experience.

Jackson played 17 seasons in the NBA and is fourth on the career list with 10,334 assists.

Yay. Jackson gets another million dollar job he's not good at.
 
lol @ national media... lets not make it obvious that the NBA is going to have the East win the title.

The tagline for the ECF? "A champion will rise"... *sigh*

A champion WILL rise. What's the issue? One of them will win the Eastern Conference Cahampionship

I never pegged you to be one of the "everyone gets a trophy" crowd.

Nothing wrong with that. Actually I'm going to start calling the Blazers a first round champion!

Too bad most of the players already left town, we could have held a first round championship parade!
 
Kevin Love Trade Rumors: Latest Buzz and Speculation Surrounding Timberwolves PF | Bleacher Report (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-) http://teamstre.am/1jW75wB

"For the first time, [Saunders] sounds like looking at deals for [Love] is an option," an NBA executive told Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

Wojnarowski notes that the Lakers, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns are chief among the teams pushing for a Love trade. Boston, Los Angeles and Phoenix each have lottery picks in the 2014 draft. Golden State traded its pick to Utah but has young players like Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson that could be enticing.

Pacers are a bunch walking around like they are suffering from small mans syndrome. They are a broken bunch. I think it's going to be difficult for them to win this series.
 
So I guess ill start taking apologies tomorrow from all the people who mercilessly mocked me, called me stupid, said I was not a true fan, etc for saying Portland was not a true contender this year and Indiana was.

Just cause some refuse to see reality, doesn't make another poster a troll
