In the parts of the games I've seen the Pacers have made handfuls of stupid, often unforced, turnovers leading to Heat baskets. Pacers are just a dumb, dumb team.

Curious how many here, if they could trade rosters with Indy, would.

I would not. The Pacers have great individual talent, but they just don't seem to mesh or know how to play cohesively. I get the sense they are very individualistic and will bicker when things don't go their way. I like our guys more, and I prefer to root for players I like.
 
Joey Crawford strikes again!!!!

Durant trips Mills and Crawford calls a foul on Lamb, who was a good 15 feet away.

How the fuck does Crawford have a job?

OKC making the Spurs look pedestrian

Impressive

Neil Olshey needs to make some real moves this summer
 
Freaking OKC fans boo the most obvious fouls. God I hate those hayseed Hicksville mother fuckers.

OKC is making SA look pretty ordinary and more true to their age. Interesting what's happened in the last 2 games in OKC.
 
The Sacramento Kings have let the Minnesota Timberwolves know they are interested in trading for All-Star forward Kevin Love – and the Kings would make a deal without any assurance from Love he'd re-sign with them, a league source told Yahoo Sports.

The Kings are willing to give up their eighth overall pick in this year's NBA draft and a combination of players for Love, even though he would not be expected to sign a contract extension before next season – if ever, with the rebuilding, small-market franchise, the source said. Sacramento envisions Love and DeMarcus Cousins playing alongside each other in the front court. Swingman Rudy Gay has a player's option for next season.


If the Kings called tomorrow . . .
 
So the Mavs and Thunder have shown the Spurs are very beatable

Spurs just played with the Blazers. Even in an elimination game with Parker out the Blazers were dominated.

Some big steps need to be made next season for Portland

You said: The team with the best player usually wins in the playoffs

SA was beating up on OKC, OKC is now beating up on the Spurs and your comment to that was After Ibaka came back

Trying to put 2 and 2 together . . . doesn't that mean Ibaka is the best player

It's more than just Ibaka. They are taking their advantage of being the younger, more energetic team and making it work for them. They have overwhelmed these older dudes in the last couple of games. If OkC can play like this in SA, they will beat the Spurs.
 
OKC is playing faster and more aggressive then the spurs. Also helps that the spurs have shot really poorly these last two games. its not just OKC playing good D the Spurs have missed a lot of wide open shots

All i know is Paul George is preparing for game 5 and LaMarcus Aldridge is hanging out at strip clubs with Dave Chappelle. Seems to me that one of those guys plays for a contender and one doesn't

Pacers are only still playing because they faced 38-44 Hawks and 5th seed Wizards, barely beating both. Aldridge/Blazers would've beaten those two teams easily. Pacers would've been swept by Rockets. Sure, Pacers are in ECF but they have no chance of advancing because the Heat own them. You overreacted to their Game 1 win and demanded apologies. Now, with the Pacers down 1-3, you look silly. Who needs to apologize to whom?

The way I look at it, in the WCF, being a contender means getting to the WCF. We are not contenders -YET-.

However, to me, the only way you're a contender in the east is if you make the Finals. And that's not looking so good for the Pacers.

For the Pacers and Heat, unless crazy shit happens (which it almost did for the Pacers) they are both in to the ECF... there is literally NO challenge since they didn't have to face each other until now. Now, to get to the finals, they have to face the only challenge. That's why I say being a contender in the east is Finals only.

In the west, It's either OKC, SA, LAC, Etc. Etc. You almost HAVE to face 2 teams with 50+ wins. It's really simple logic, actually.

The Cleveland Cavaliers might not offer Kyrie Irving a maximum contract offer because they believe he will not accept, according to a report.

The Cavaliers reportedly do not want to look bad if Irving would decline the deal.

Irving is eligible to sign a new contract with the Cavaliers this offseason.

Damn if thats true Cleveland is just a clusterfuck right now. To bad it sounds like Irving would Decline to go to a big market because if he just hated Cleveland i'd offer him to the Bucks for the #2 and Henson.

SA has not beaten OKC in OKC in a while. So the fact that it is even after four games does not surprise me. I expected this series to go 7 from the start. They have been the best two teams in the NBA all year. They did end up with the two best records in the league.
