NBA Playoffs 2012

[ByRd]

I'm not expecting the Lakers to win this series but I just hope that we don't embarrass ourselves again and show some effort tomorow.

Big win for the Pacers. Both teams did there best to lose the game with missed ft's but I'm glad the Pacers held on. It will be interesting in Indiana and as they always play hard and give their best, you never know what can happen.

I think the Heat are going to miss Bosh spice more than they thought.

Sixers are getting owned..I wanted to watch a close game
Credit to the Celtics, playing great D

Celtics routed the 6ers today taking a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 becomes a must win now IMO for Philly.

 

[HowHigh]

Exciting finish there
Thunder take a 2 game lead to LA

 

[ByRd]

I cant believe we blew that game. Up by 7 with just over two minutes to go and we blow it, there goes any chance we had of getting into this series. Kobe killed us with two costly turnovers that turned momentum around and we blew it, i cant believe it. I am burning right now!!!

 

[Ridders]

f**king hell this is exactly what happened to the Mavs in game 1 of their series vs OKC. In a winning position late in the game and then OKC takes it somehow.

Lakers had to take that game to be any chance in the series.

Kobe really f**ked that up.

Kobe got sloppy late but our execution was pathetic. I don't understand the logic when down 1 with 20secs left to hold the ball til the last second. Go early and if you miss and they make their fts it's still a one possession game, just terrible and there goes any chance we had of making this a series, I sti can't believe that final two minutes, absolutely pathetic.

Yeah that was terrible. As you said, taking an early shot gives you two shots at it. Pretty much played right into OKC's hands, especially as they had a foul to give.

This loss is gonna hurt and ill be surprised if they can bounce back in game 3, such a demoralising loss.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

At least the Lakers made a game of it this time around, more than I expected.

On a brighter note,


CELTICS!

43-43 at the half. Heat started Pittman at centre who lasted 3 minutes before being banished! Refs letting them play a fair bit, not too many whistles for either side. Pacers really need to figure out how to get the ball in the post when the Heat front West or Hibbert. Granger has an uncanny ability to botch a 3-2 or 4-3 fast break. Chalmers 13 points, Wade 0 points. Let's go Pacers!

Damn just when I thought the East was going to be boring.

Good stuff Pacers. Terrible game from Wade.

 

[ByRd]

Wow, Pacers!!! What a huge win, wtf is up with Miami, Wade also had an exchange with coach Spo and Juan Howard apparently had to get in between them.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

First time in the Big 2.5 era that someone other than James, Wade or Bosh lead the team in scoring in the playoffs I think. Wonder whether the officiating will be that loose again in this series though, Heat only had 18 free throw attempts and you can bet your bottom dollar that Wade or James will attempt that many (or close to) alone next game.

Meanwhile the Spurs are just rolling through the Clippers, honestly the Clippers defence is just dreadful. Blake Griffin getting shown up in this series IMO, struggling to score consistently and playing matador defence at times.

 

[HowHigh]

Both good games today
Happy the Sixers won and at least by LA winning it'll make for a more interesting series

 

[HowHigh]

Good win this morning, makes it 17 in a row.
Worst 1st quarter I've seen us play for a while..were down by 20+ but went on a 24-0 run to take the lead in the 3rd
Spurs 3-0! Think we can sweep this series too

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

24-0? The Spurs are legit. If they win it this year it would really go against their dynasty of defence.

Basketball on Sunday is great. Lakers fighting back but they'll probably rue the game 2 loss at the end of the series.

 

[HowHigh]

Another good game, Thunder were down by 13 in the 4th and came back to win
Durant hit a huge 3 to give them the lead.

Looks like Lakers are gone
