NBA: *** Official 2014 NBA Playoffs Thread ***

Doc did a great job in his press conference of shifting the post game focus to this one botched call rather than his team completely melting down over the last three minutes. Running down the shot clock to have Jamal Crawford shoot fade away 27 foot 3's might not have been the best way to go about it.

that's not really my point. It's amazing to me that year after year the NBA continues to showcase their worst officials on the biggest stage. It's mind boggling to me. When NBA commentators can know BEFORE the game that these officials will screw it up, something is wrong.

The Clippers didn't lose because of that call, hell if they called it correctly it would have been a foul.

But you just know these incompetent fools will find their way into an important finals game.

Couple things got overlooked in the wake of the refs' final minute brain lock - the Clips' meltdown (although Doc did mention that his team stopped playing and started trying to milk the clock at around the three minute mark), and Westbrook's decision to fire up a game deciding three with seven seconds left even though he was closely guarded by Chris Paul and Kevin effin' Durant is his teammate AND he was finally on after being MIA for most of the game.

The number of bad decisions for both teams over the last two minutes was reminiscent of a college game, not a second round NBA playoff game. Like you mentioned Westbrook's pull up 3 with seven seconds left was terrible, Paul's foul on him was terrible, Reggie Jackson was on a 3 on 1 fast break with Westbrook ahead of him and Durant trailing and decided to keep it himself and go one one with Barnes. Plus Paul's turnovers, Crawford's bad shots, Ibaka missing the box out on Davis. It was an exciting, crazy finish and Durant hit a couple great shots but it was not a well played finish.
 
The TNT studio crew nailed it on the head last night. While they agreed the call was bad what they nailed was talking about some of stupid plays that players are making. They said guys are making mistakes that your kid would make in park and rec. basketball. These are supposed to be the best of the best but some make plays that you would see in the D-League.
 
Kerr to the Warriors. should have took hollins or karl with that lineup. oh well.
 
Heat move on! Great closing run by Miami, Joe Johnson was on fire tonight, thought the Nets were going to steal one.
 
And the refs let LJ hold, foul and push JJ to end the game after a blatant no call that would have sent PP to the line. What a joke.

Plus they let Heat bench stand up leaving little room for action to play out. Tell them to sit their *** down or T them up.
 
Sure looked like Pierce was the one who knocked the ball out with five seconds left but they gave it back to Brooklyn.
 
There is rule that if the opposing player hits the hand, it is not a turnover. Plus the refs saw they blew another foul call.
 
Critical Game 6 for the Pacers tonight. They need to close out the Wizards and avoid a Game 7. The Heat will be waiting, rested and ready. As bad as Indy has been, the team is essentially custom built to compete with Miami. I'll take the Pacers to win, just like they have after their other playoff stink bombs.

In the West, I like the Clips to win tonight in LA. Doc's been here before and he'll get the ship righted. Should be an epic Game 7.

For some reason, Washington has been much better on the road than at home in the playoffs, so Indy has that going for them.

I'm tired of predicting what the Pacers are going to do. They could win by 20 and lose by 20 and neither result would be surprising.
