NBA Playoffs

Discussion thread:

Who are your favorite teams? Who do you think will win?

Congratulations to the Miami Heat for winning the NBA finals for the 2011-12 season!​

 

Terribly officiated? The Knicks played awful and they were never seriously contenders today. I think the Bulls will be fine without D-Rose, in the first round at least.

OKC should be able to beat the Mavericks tonight.

 

Predictions

MIA wins East
Rose keeps getting injured, wont be a good post season for him.


OKC/Spurs wins West

As for the Heats/Knicks game, no doubt the hit hurt lebron, but just not as much as how he was acting, either way the foul shots he shot had no effect in the outcome of the game, it's funny how people expect a team that went 36-30 on the regular season to really compete as hard as you guys want them to.

 

The Knicks are serious contenders.. Mike D'Antoni was a terrible coach, and didn't focus on defense at all. After Mike Woodson took over, our record was 18-6. While it was 18-22 with Mike D'Antoni. Our lineup is pretty good, have you seen Carmelo Anthony on best mode during April? The officiating could have been better, the knicks had 26 personals while the Heat only had 17. Even googling "Knicks vs Heat refs" on google has some peoples opinions on it. I agree, it probably did hurt, but not as much as he made it out to seem, and it surely DOES NOT count for a flagrant foul.

Also, Derrick Rose is out for at least 8 months. Bulls will win the first round, but I doubt they'll win the playoffs, which was what I was referring to.

 

People can blame the games on officials or whatever they want but these numbers don't lie.



I watched the game and didnt notice any bad calls by the refs except the whole lebron thing, if you find any on video please show me.

This wont be a 7 game series, most likely a 5 game, as for the DRose thing are you just speculating or is it official?, would be a big blow to the Bulls to not have their star player.

 

I'm not going to say the Heat wouldn't have won, I will say that the game wasn't officiated that well, and could have done better. Carmelo Anthony wasn't in the zone, he was AMAZING in April, and he could have done better. Just try youtube, or google, it seems like many others are calling out on this.

It's a fact, the doctors stated it.

 

Without Rose they wont get past semifinals, I know Bulls fans are mad right now lol.

 

Sorry guys but the heat game was terribly officiated i have the utmost respect for my due lerbron but come on he flopped 3 times and did so much bullshit calls.

 

Heat vs. Knicks - Game 2

It's today at 7:00 PM EST!

 

Go Spurs <3

 

Heat are going to whip NY's ass, NY isn't going nowhere this year

 

the heat are hungry, personally I think the only serious contenders for the heat are the spurs, I am fairly certain it will be a Heat Vs Spurs final even though alot of guys are rooting for OKC.

 

After the second loss, Amare Stoudemire got mad and punched a fire extinguisher... he hurt his hand, and he'll be out for the entire Miami series, probably. Anyway, Jeremy Lin is set to come back on game 4, anything can happen, let's just see.

 

Lin coming back wont affect anything,
Lebron had him on lock when they played in Feb, caused him 8 turnovers and he went 1-11 for field goals.

 

The Heat have really turned it up. They are playing the best right now but it IS the playoffs, things happen.

 

He's a better point guard than Baron Davis and Mike Bibby. Considering we only lost by 10 points last game, the fact that he is considerably better than those two in defense and offence, his great court vision, and his assists. I'd like to stick with my stance, and say anything can happen.

 

spurs got this one no doubt

 

I think the heat are gonna win tonights game, but I'm rooting for the lakers all the way.

 

Heats are 3-0 right now, most likely going to be a blow out.
