i agree. griffin only played 19 minutes. he committed some stupid fouls but a couple were some bullshit calls
Indy doesn't look like they're in it mentally. That whole team just looks like such a mess. OKC are on fire. They probably are favorites to win it of they don't choke.
I have to question Miami's decision to have wade play this series. Rest him. You dont need him for this series.
Wade's Still Gotta Practice & PLAY, to Get Himself as CLOSE to "Right" as Can Be Expected, @ this Point of his Career... REED Gets What You're Saying, but there's a Fine Line btwn Resting Wade & Playing him Enough to INSURE he's Effective...You Can't Just Take an Entire PLAYOFF Series Off & Expect to Come Back FULL STRENGTH, Deeeeeeeeeeep Into the Playoffs... REED:mj:
Bosh was Genuinely INJURED...It's Not like he COULD Have Played, yet Miami RESTED Him Instead...He was INCAPABLE of Playing... The FACT that Wade Played in the Last Couple Regular Season Games, Even when Bron AND Bosh Sat, Tells REED he's as Close to Healthy as he'll Ever Be Again... Spoelstra Could Look @ MONITORING Wade's Minutes, if Any of the Charlotte Games Get OUT of Hand, but Wade Needs to PLAY for Sure... REED:mj:
Shit, the Bobcats were UP by Damn Near DOUBLE DIGITS, when Jefferson Got Hurt...& Dude WASN'T the Same Upon his Return... No, Charlotte WOULDN'T Beat Miami, Even w/a HEALTHY Al Jefferson, but they'd Damn Sure have to Work HARDER...In the Same Game when Bron Dropped 62 on them, Jefferson had Something like 36pts, 19boards... The Heat have NOfuckingANSWER for a HEALTHY Al Jefferson...Or Kemba Walker, Really... REED:mj:
Blazers beat the refs in a thriller. Joey Crawford needs to get the start in the next game to ensure the Blazers' defeat.
Are you kidding? First half-Blazers had 17 FT attempts. Rockets-ZERO. I don't think the Rockets have gone a half ALL YEAR going an entire half without a Free throw. If the refs did anything, it was evening it out. Rockets will win this series.
Dude was even chunking up 3's and hitting them, may have been the best game of his career. He will get his, but won't have a game like that again this series, which is one reason I don't give the Blazers much of a chance.
INSANE Weekend of Playoff Basketball... Remind REED How Many FAVORED Squads LOST Game 1 on their Home Court, Again???:scared:...HAS to Be an NBA Playoff Record... The Clippers, & Blake Griffin Specifically, Got HOSED in Game 1, vs. G-State...For Faaaaar Tooooo Loooong, NBA SUPERSTARS Get Preferential Treatment, in Terms of Fouls...Blake Griffin is Not Only an NBA Superstar, he's a LEGITIMATE MVP Candidate...1 of the 10 BEST Players in the League. Unequivocally... Refs Simply Have to ALLOW a Player of Griffin's Ilk to Play MORE than 19 Minutes, in a Playoff Game on HIS Homecourt...EVERYBODY Else Matched or EXCEEDED Expectations in Game 1, from the Clipper Side of the Equation, Except Griffin...He WAS NOT Allowed to BE Who he Is, SOLELY Because of the Officiating...Clippers will STILL Win, Regardless, Beginning Tonight... We All Know Indy's Struggles, but REED Never Would've Envisioned them Getting Blown Out Basically & BOO'ed Off their Homecourt in their 1st Playoff Game...The COLLAPSE of this Team is NATHAN Short of SHOCKING...@ Some Point, Stories Will Surface, Alluding to What's Going On w/the Pacers, Behind Closed Doors & the Shit will be JUICY... Meanwhile, Brooklyn Continues to GEL & Look Better & BETTER... Chicago is Likely in TROUBLE...They had 7 Guys Score in Double Figures, NEITHER John Wall Nor Bradley Beal had Particularly Good Games, yet Washington Still WON Game 1... The Mavs Let 1 Get Away, Yesterday...Up 10 in the Middle of the 4th, You've GOTTA Close that Game Out...When the Spurs Eventually Eliminate The Mavs, they'll DWELL on Game 1 This Off-Season... Portland-Houston was Every Bit as GOOD as Most Thought it'd be...Chandler Parsons was UNCONCIOUS Early...LaMarcus Aldridge was THE Best Post-Player on the Floor, he DOMINATED the Boards (Particularly Early) & SHAT Upon Any Post-Defender that DARED to Guard Him...Dwight Howard has to Do a BETTER Job of OFFSETTING Aldridge's Post Contributions or Houston Will LOSE this Series...Patrick Beverley's Gonna have to Do BETTER than "Holding" Damian Lillard to 31, 9 & 5 as Well... REEDopcorn:
He's Already had 2 or 3 20+ Rebound Games vs. Houston...Aldridge Plays WELL vs. the Rockets... REED:mj:
Yeah he does, he won't touch 40+ points again though. I can see a Dwight/Asik twin tower lineup being utilized, I don't think they want to double team, leaves their shooters open. Terrance Jones is an outstanding prospect, but he's essentially a 22 yr old rookie (played in D league most of last year) can't check someone like LMA. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to see Asik at C and D12 playing PF quite a bit for the rest of the series.
Wife is WORSE, Dog... Ultimately, you're NOT Married to your Mother, so She Can Bang Whoever the Hell She Wants...Momma DOESN'T Owe You Shit, as a Son...But the Wife???...Ya'll Exchanged VOWS, if You're Rich, Maybe You DIDN'T Get a Pre-Nup, Who Knows???...Maybe it's just REED, but he'd Be A LOT More Pissed about Somebody Banging his Wife, than his Moms... REED:wtf1:
