My Mavericks lost to Oklahoma City last night.  We were up all game and up 7 points with 3 minutes left in the game, but we ended up making some mistakes.

We lost a big game... I was fuming all night. :(

Im annoyed at my suns failing in the end and not making it. Doesnt matter tho, no team will stop the spurs for west. East bulls v OKC v heat will be exciting. But im going spurs all the way this year. Think only the bulls can beat them and D.rose injury looked pretty bad.

Yeah, was rooting for the Suns to get in.  Too bad you guys had a rough schedule down the stretch... you had to play some top teams to get in.

Spurs are unreal this year.  Definitely deserve lots of credit.  Pop is the best coach in the league, and he's put them in a great spot to make the finals.  I really think they can win it as well.  They will play the winner from Memphis/Clippers so that's not a bad next round.

Rose is out for the year with a torn ACL so there is no way in hell the Bulls can get to the finals.  They won't get past the Heat or Celtics... maybe not even Philly in the first round.

Sounds like that will be it.  Back to the old days with that matchup.

Mavs vs Thunder tonight.  We must win.

I think Blake will be OK, but Chris Paul's groin injury is more serious than you think.  I still think he'll play but it will only be because they'll give him a numbing injection.  That could have long term detriments but it's worth it in this case.  If Paul sits out, Clippers lose.

You could tell his groing injury kept him from pushing off that leg.  When he tried to take someone on, he pulled out, grabbed his groing, and passed the ball in pain.  I'm sure most of you had those sharp pains in your groin area... those are a bitch.

1-1 Philly is solid but Celtics prolly take it as you said.

what do you mean

what do you mean

I think he meant Eastern conference finals. Sice Rose went down they only had to play the Sixers and Atlanta. That's an easy road to the conference finals. To be honest only Heat and Celtics are any good in the East with Rose gone.

Prediction for finals. Kinda think the thunder will just take this. They have a more balanced team. THe heat just got to the finals on lebrons back but he cant take on the thunder alone.

Also, Lebron has to go missing for 2-3 games this series as is tradition for him in big games. It will depend if Wade can have some big games to make up for this. I hope the Thunder win.

Last month or so Wade hasnt been up to the level you would expect from him. And Durant/Westbrook is on fire.
Title: Re: NBA Playoffs
Post by: Adi on Jun 14, 2012, 02:22: AM
Yeah, you're both right.  Lebron is such a mess in the 4th quarter... unbelievable how he settles for being a role player in the 4th quarter.  I've never seen such a thing from any other great player.  He gets his 30 points in the first 3 quarters, then just passes the ball around without any significant impact on the game.  He can own teams by attacking the rim.

OKC is insane... they are all under 25 and can play for 48 minutes.  Durant and Westbrook don't sit out in the second half.  It's incredible how they can run all game.  If the games were decided at half time, they would be out in the first round.  Instead, they kill teams in the 4th quarter because they have their legs under them.  A little annoying but gotta give them credit.

Wade has to step up... he's top quality and makes insane shots, but he's gotta take at least 20+ shots if he wants to help the Heat.
