NBA Playoffs 2012

[Valheru]

The Celtics got done in game 6.

This bunch never takes the easy route. Game 7 at Boston Sunday morning our time.

Haslem & Pittman suspended for today's game. Will be interesting to see what impact that has, you'd think the Pacers would attack the rim and try to play inside. Granger will play through an ankle sprain as well. Nothing short of LBJ & Wade going for about 70 points will cut it tonight and they would know it as well, expecting massive games from them.

I hate Kobe being compared to his Airness but far out he's a proven clutch performer. Lebron isn't fit to sniff Kobe's arse hair.

Once again the Heat need Wade to step up. Indy playing as a team is great but nobody on that team has it in them to take a game over. They didn't do a good job of utilizing Hibbert who himself didn't establish his authority. Indy are like the Bulls just without the MVP star. Fun ride this season and last though.

I think we'll see the winner come from the West. Probably more excited for the West finals than the NBA finals tbh

Kobe with 44 points on 33 shots and 0 assists.

Says it all right there IMO

Come on man I love a good Kobe bashing but who is he gonna dish the ball to? That Lakers team straight up sucks. When Steve Blake is your other go to guy in the clutch you've got issues.

I wonder if Shaq still thinks Bynum is the best centre bar none lmao

 

[Mr Saab]

Thunder vs Heat final will be pretty good.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I'd like to see Spurs v Celtics. Last chance for another ring for most of the Veterans on both teams.

Anybody but Miami

 

[Big Mick]

I'd love to see Celtics vs Spurs as well.

Tim Duncan vs Kevin Garnett in the Finals would be unreal

 

[Mr Saab]

I would love the Heat to choke and not make the finals, but it will be a big ask for the Celtics.
I dont want Lebron to win a ring....ever.

 

[Aragorn]

you're assuming the celtics win tomorrow which is a big assumption...

 

[HowHigh]

Bad luck Pacers, still a great season for them imo

I'd be happy for the Sixers if they beat the Celtics but I think the Celtics could actually beat Miami so either way..

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Wow, Rondo took over the fourth yesterday after Pierce went out, nailed a three and another long two, hit some clutch free throws and recorded another triple double. Celtics made it hard for themselves, got out to some largish leads but every time they threatened to pull away they'd clang a layup or commit a fast break turnover and the Sixers would score a couple of quick buckets and make it close again.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Wait - is that Manu Ginobili? He IS alive!

 

[Ridders]

Yeah bit of a throwback performance from him. Spurs still undefeated in the playoffs.

 

[HowHigh]

19 and counting!

 

[Aragorn]

I feel these finals are quite dull... no major underdogs to support now that my fav teams NY, Dallas, Lakers & Nuggets were eliminated.... Miami to win the rings...

Came across this really cool article on Michael Jordan with an interview he did with Pat Riley weeks before he won his first championship. I think the article is spot on and the interview is fascinating (especially the last answer) given what we know the near future held for him.

There is a lot of parallels between the '91 version of Michael Jordan and the 2012 version of Lebron.

 

[BODISGOD]

Really looking forward to the Heat/Celtic series that's just starting now. I hope the Celtics have some juice left..

 

[abpanther]

Good win for the Heat, Pierce got abused most of the night.

Boston hung around despite some pretty poor performances across the board.

I expect this one to go to 7 with Bosh out

 

[betcats]

Heat Thunder finals with Durantula schooling the choosen one all series is what I want.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

smh

Don't ever talk about Jordan you douche. The parralells between Jordan & Lebrick ended when Lebrick ran from the spotlight and preasure of being the dominant force on a team. Once Krause put Phil Jackson & a decent support cast like Grant & Pippen it was over, Lebrick ran to ride off Wade.
