*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (5 Viewers)

[pollardsvision]

I really thought the Wiz would run away with this series, but I have a feeling pizzatyme's going to have some reasons to gloat soon.

It would be just the Wizards luck that the Pacers finally find themselves against them.

 

[thecatch]

Nobody is finding much of anything tonight. Just ugly.

Random side note: Adam silver doesn't look nearly as nerdy in person.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Just caught the score, shootout going on in Washington...

 

[dgreen]

Reminded me of a college game. Or high school.

Ugly is good for IND.

I haven't gloated to this point. Why start now? I'm just glad the Pacers are playing more to their ability.

 

[Zaxxon]

I'm a fan of 6 of the remaining teams.

I'm pretty much a lifelong fan of any team that wins in any sport at any level.

 

[dgreen]

Congrats to the Wizards for reaching 40 points...with less than 4 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

i like that move by Wall. Drive into the lane, jump stop, one-handed floater that makes it halfway to the basket.

 

[dgreen]

And somehow it just gets uglier for Washington.

 

[thecatch]

If Mark Jackson got fired after their season, Wittman definitely deserves to be fired, like, tonight.

 

[pizzatyme]

FU Bill Simmons!

 

[Don Quixote]

That game was pretty demoralizing.

 

[pizzatyme]

That game was pretty demoralizing.

This series is far from over. Surprised the bigs played so poorly though.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Glad I missed this for the Draft.

63 points. Really?

 

[Don Quixote]

Wiz-Pacers before Thunder-Clippers is like the undercard of a heavyweight fight.

 

[EYLive]

I can't stand these refs. May as well get rec league officials.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Wow, what an incredibly stupid play by Durant. Why are you contesting a half court shot at the buzzer at the end of a quarter? You shouldn't even be close enough to make the refs even think about calling a foul. That just gave the Clippers an extra 3 pts.

 

[Raider Nation]

Will Brooks utilize the Hack-a-Jordan?

 

[Raider Nation]

These refs are a joke. Whistle-fest.

 

[Ghost Rider]

That 2nd foul call on Durant just shows what a joke NBA officiating is. That couldn't have been a bigger flop, yet the refs still fell for it.

Huge shots by Westbrook and Durant, though, in the last 40 seconds to give the Thunder a 6-point lead.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I really hope that Magic does not get a piece of the Clippers when they are sold - his latest comments about how the Clippers won't play if Sterlings wife keeps her 50% just seems like he is trying to too hard to force himself into the picture. Combined with his comments about D'antoni getting fired, and I just think Magic is coming across as a real ########. Maybe he has always been like that and I just never noticed.

 

[Don't Noonan]

I like the Blazers to win tonight. The Spurs have played absolutely perfect the first two games. I don't see the Spurs shooting 60% from the field and 60% from 3 in Portland.

Magic has that, what some call, a million dollar smile, which makes everyone think he is the greatest guy in the world, and he has milked that for all it's worth. I don't dislike Magic or anything, but I don't genuflect to him and consider everything he says as gospel like a lot of people do. His tweet about D'Antoni was definitely low class, to say the least.

 

[CurlyNight]

I love Magic. I started watching the NBA in '79 when he came in. His tweet about D'Antoni was low class but he has done enough good for people by helping those less fortunate that I still love the guy. That tweet was probably what he and many were thinking, only he made the mistake of making it public.

I don't see how Magic's comments about how the Clippers won't play if Sterlings are still in the picture is inserting himself too much. People all over the news are saying the same thing. They had the owner of Atlanta on last week who was saying players would not play come next season if this isn't resolved, not just the Clips.

 

[pizzatyme]

The Heat getting blown out by the #6 seed tonight. Now up 2-1.

Maybe the rest of the league stands a chance?

They took the night off... Although I'd love this series to go 6, at least that way they aren't fully rested by the ECF.

[fantasycurse42]

Spurs gonna sweep? They need the rest more than any other team... A well rested Spurs can give the Heat a series.

If they get to 3-0 tonight, and so far it's looking good, I'm sure Pop will rest the key players. BKN will go 6 or 7 so there will be rest then too if they sweep.

No chance this one slips away... TP playing lights out.

Yeah I don't think so either, but don't want to dance on Portland's grave.........................just yet.

 

[Raider Nation]

T-Mac on the mound.

Ok, now I will!

 

[sports_fan]

spurs 25-for-25 at the line

 

[matuski]

The Blazers don't believe they should win this series. Written all over their faces.

.

Gave up before Game 1 started.

 

[tommyGunZ]

T-Mac on the mound.

Wow. For some reason, I expected better form.

 

[CurlyNight]

No need for Cliff Clavin to edit the title until the finals end and one of them win it all!

 

[Abraham]

Man, Westbrook is good.

 

[Smack Tripper]

So is Ibaka gonna get a game for that crotch shot?

He's done that TWICE to Griffin, I'd give him 15 games frankly.

Way worse than what Randolph got flagged for.

 

[Abraham]

Steven Adams has 17 siblings? Holy cow.

 

[Raider Nation]

Amazing gag job.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

wow, what a comeback!

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

What a comeback (and collapse)

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

WoW OKC doesn't like to play defense.

 

[got_nugs]

wow Scott Brooks.

wow.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Sheesh. Huge choke job by the Thunder. But also props to the Clips for grinding and pulling out the win. Lot of heart there.

 

[Britney Spears]

Wait, what? I stopped checking in. Thought it was over.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wait, what? I stopped checking in. Thought it was over.

Clippers kept driving to the hoop and getting fouled. Thunder kept standing around on offense taking tough shots. Clippers grabbed the lead with like 2.5 minutes lefts and held off the Thunder despite a really dumb last sequence by them.

 

[Popinski]

wow Scott Brooks.

wow.

Couldn't believe Brooks didn't have them foul down 2 and only a 3 second shot clock-game clock differential, with no timeouts. Griffin bailed him out by shooting too early in the shot clock, but still...
