2014 Playoffs

[Aragorn]

Burning that I didn't get to watch the first 2 games

Is Ibaka out the main difference/reason for it?

Also: With tonight's victory, Tim, Tony & Manu now lead the NBA for most playoff wins by a trio at 111 victories

Good stuff

OKC played absolutely garbage basketball today. Westbrook was selfish and missing shots, Durant was meh, and the rest of the team looked like a bunch of amateurs (including coach brooks) getting schooled by pros. They should be embarrassed with that performance.

Hats off to Pop and the Spurs. Hope they win it all . Absolute class act.

Man it's tough to stomach some of these games with the blatant biased officiating, the free throw tally in the 3rd quarter of this game pretty much tells the story

That's what happens when Ibaka is there as a deterrent.

Both teams had a similar amount of fouls, it was just that OKC were attacking the rim a lot more.

Serge...if he can stay healthy... OKC are in it...

I get all that, but come on man some of the officiating is terrible

Did you see that foul that took away Patty Mills' 3 pointer? How about Westbrook continually being bailed out?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Did they alter the travelling rule?

I swear it happens 50 times a game without penalty.

This Spurs v OKC series is just really strange....

games 3 and 4 have followed game 1 and 2... Home team dominates the first game and then absolutely smash them in the 2nd.

Admittedly game 3 is still mid 3rd quarter... But the thunder are up by over 20.... And Pop has pulled all his starting 5 to the bench.

Spurs have home advantage... So if it follows from here... They are still in the drivers seat I guess...

But is it home court advantage that's the difference??? Or Serge Ibaka ??

 

[shiznit]

The spurs 2nd team did a great job to pull it back to 12pts at one stage.

It ended 105-92... Series tied 2-2... Spurs still hold court.

This series has come back to life...

Nice bounce back by the Spurs

 

[HowHigh]

Well this has been a disappointing game

 

[BunniesMan]

4 finals in a row. Even MJ never did that. And Lebron equals what Larry and Magic led their teams to.

 

[ByRd]

Easiest run to a finals in history but still credit to the heat, let's hope the finals is closer than these conference finals so far.

 

[Aragorn]

If the heat ends up winning it all, then the strategy of resting Wade for 1/4 of the season will be a master stroke. The dude has been playing at a high level in all the games so far.

lol I'll give credit where it's due, 4 finals in a row quite an achievement

LBJ continues to move up the all time list no doubt.


Props to Wade, hes been great. He's the one Heat player i actually like all bias aside.

 

[abpanther]

What a f**ken joke on the missed goal tend

 

[Tommy Smith]

The MVP has been atrrocious.

He's a massive choker.

 

[HowHigh]

NBA finals rematch!

 

[abpanther]

How good was Duncan in OT!

 

[HowHigh]

haha another vintage Duncan performance, thought Leonard and Diaw were quite good too

Really need Parker healthy though.

 

[Cartman]

This has the potential to be a great series. Both teams move the ball and play team defense better than anyone. Weren't the Spurs too old like 5 years ago? :sarcasm:
