NBA: Playoff Time

[HiltonMagic]

Refs were bad. All series they let guys hold each other and let Perkins set moving screens, than they call chippy fouls. That one on Harden was terrible. He barely touched Kobe and Kobe didn't even flop

Which one on Harden? He had five fouls, but committed maybe one.

Can someone explain the reasoning behind the Lakers and Thunder playing two nights in a row but the Heat and Pacers get 2 days between games?
It just doesn't make sense to me, LA has to host 2 games today which will be a pain in the *** for that arena and the lakers played last night, why not have the heat/pacers tonight and the thunder/lakers on sunday?

 

[CRcyclone6]

not sure the reason, but Staples is busy this weekend. Lakers last night, Clippers this afternoon, Lakers tonight. then tomorrow afternoon hockey, then Clippers tomorrow night.

 

[CycloneRobert]

Yeah, who ever is in charge of the change-over is probably pulling his hair out at we speak haha. Maybe the NHL was part of the reasoning for the OKC/LA game tonight.

Yeah, I'm guessing it is a combination of the Kings and the Clippers also playing there.

And TV. The networks are playing a huge part in it.

 

[CRcyclone6]

the Clippers! wow. 40-19

the Clippers! wow. 40-19

Just flipped to the game. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the spurs are on a run.

ya. Just a small one

OK, that's a decisive third quarter.

Anyone notice a big difference in the arena between Clippers and Lakers beside colors and court? It seems like the arena is much brighter from a lighting standpoint when the Clippers play and when the Lakers play it's a little darker.

I'm sure everyone in the West would love that although anybody coming out of the East will probably get beat by either SA or OKC.

These playoffs are starting to get a very 2002-ish feel. The Western Conference Finals will decide the title and the Finals are just a mere formality. San Antonio or OKC would both destroy any of the four teams left in the East right now. The fact that the Sixers even have a shot at getting to the ECF shows just how terrible the East is now, due in large part to all the injuries.

Thanks for the info.

The Spurs scare the crap out of me.

The Spurs aren't that scary. They have some solid skill players in Parker, Duncan, and Ginobili and some solid role players, but I just don't know if they are built to last against the younger Thunder or even the Grizzlies or Clippers in round 2. Also Kevin Durant is a beast. That is all.

Today was a perfect example of why I'm scared of the Spurs.

 

[clone319]

I would be very interested in an OKC-Spurs series.

I don't have a dog in the fight and I'm scared of the Spurs.

 

[HiltonMagic]

Oh ****

Hopefully Westbrook is alright. It looked like it could be the groin, but he grabbed his outer hip area. Hopefully it just cramped with that awkward fall.

I thought Kobe was supposed to be tired by playing two games in a row. Sure doesn't look like he's the tired one.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

This is so dangerous to be playing under ICE.
