NBA Playoffs

Wow the spurs are even better then I thought....it will be heat vs spurs and I dont think anything is going to stop the spurs this year

Injuries are becoming very frequent for Tony Parker. Also the heat will still be tough and I hate them.

Scary part is even if Parker went down, someone else would just step up. That team is so deep. OKC could get swept. I'm sure they'll take at least 1 at home though

The biggest problem with Durant is he doesnt make the other players around him better. Thats the difference between him and LBJ.

I couldn't agree more with that.


Well, tonight is Game 3 of Heat Pacers...can't help but feel Miami will blow them out

You made the same mistake as me with the NHL Playoff games. The game is on Saturday

That's what Westbrook is for and if you remember correctly LBJ wasn't always like that. So much he left Cleveland because he wasn't able to win a ring.

Oh that's right! I remember them saying that they get a brief break but then the games go every other night.

Fatigue will be a huge factor.

Aw man, now nothing to watch tonight cept Rangers-Habs I suppose.

And the Astros game

Yes lol, your betting thread adds a lot of intrigue to otherwise "just another game" matchups. Great idea, again.

I'm pumped now for my bet with Eb, I think we both have a good chance of winning. OKC is highly efficient at home, so it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.

As for Miami Indiana, I just can't see it being that close from here on out. I really thought that Indiana HAD to go up 2-0 just to have a chance. I just don't have much faith in them, or their lack of depth. They also seem to panic in crunch time and take horrible shots and make terrible passes.

OKC still has a chance, especially at home now.

I seriously have a lot of faith in the Pacers though. Even thought the heat are..well..THE HEAT, I don't think you can call the series over just yet.

I'll link the livestream to the Astros game when it starts in the sports betting thread.

Series tied but I hope Pacers defeat Heat

As for the Western Conference, OKC can win at most 1 game and that's it :noworry:

You really think with one of the most talented backcourts in the nba they're only going to win one game?

 

[BrianTirae]

Do you people even look at stats? seems like you guys are all just going with what you see on TV... OKC and Spurs were in the same situation 2 years ago Spurs were up 2 games and what happened OKC comes back and wins 4 straight so don't count them out OKC has one of the best fan bases in the NBA they will feed off the crowd the next 2 games.

Are you kidding me? Bosh, Ray Allen, Dwayne Wade were all All-Stars before they ended up on the same team, Lebron doesn't make anyone better he plays the same role as Durant only difference is he has more seasoned teammates...

Oh thats right westbrook doesnt make anyone else better either.

seems to have worked well for OKC so far *cough cough cough*


if OKC wins ONE game it would be like a series victory, nevermind they got beat by 35

Noriis cole and chris anderson are much better with james. He makes role players better, something durant hasnt learned how to do yet

Lol I knew you'd bring up 2012. I knew it. The MVP of that series was James Harden. Where is he? Gone.

The Spurs are a much better team than they were in 2012, much hungrier, much deeper, better defensively.

Conversely, OKC is nowhere near as good as they were 2 years ago. Their defense is non-existent in 2014, Harden is gone, getting rid of a consistent third scorer, and they rely way too much on Westbrook and Durant. If one of them even has an average game, they get BLOWN OUT.

First your reasoning was OKC swept the season series. That's already been proven to be completely meaningless. Now you bring up the past, which is just foolish. These teams couldn't be more different. A 2 yr difference in sports is a LIFETIME.

Lebron has a bigger impact when it comes to involving his team. While Durant has improved his agp this season, he still is a score first, pass second player.

If the heat keep playing like this, I can see them winning another championship against the spurs in game 7.

how can you even bring up dwayne wade/ray allen, they have nothing to do with lebron. d wade is/has faced a lot of injuries, and ray allen is old.

also when bosh was on the raptors the team revolved around him.
