For what I have seen of the games, I'd pick San Antonio to take it, they have clearly become stronger during the season. However, Heat is still there even though the whole team looked weak in game 1 against Indiana, Bosh was totally out of it and Lebron made several defensive errors, but they will bounce back from that
This garbage bin OKC team will be outplayed then the refs will come to their rescue like last series. That game 5 was more rigged than game 6 of Lakers-Kings.
Last time OKC beat the Spurs Harden was the X factor, abusing the Spurs in the paint and beyond the arc. This time Harden is not there and Ibaka is not there either. I don't see OKC winning this time.
Wow with Cleveland winning the first pick, i might be siding with Reed on Bron leaving. Way too much of a coincidence.
It's All Contingent Upon Kyrie Irving Re-Signing w/Cleveland 1st... But If he Does that & Cleveland Drafts Joel Embiid or Julius Randle, Bron's LEAVING Miami...They'll Be LOADED w/YOUNG Talent...Hell, Bron Would Be the "Old, Wily, Grizzled Veteran" of that Squad, Which is PRECISELY the Type of Team he Needs to Be On, @ the Tail End of his Prime... REED:hammert:
Lance Stephenson Playing like an All-NBA 1st Teamer:boohoo:... Bron Needs to Get his Head OUT of his Fucking Ass...8pts on 4-10 Shooting, Late in the 3rd... REED:hammert:
Ugh Cavs. Great game today. Heat played up to their billing. With some help from the bench the Pacers can get something out of the next two road games.
interesting that they decided to give turners minutes to rasul butler. the pacers bench has sucked. turner is the one guy on the bench who can create offense. i think if theyre to win the series he will need to contribute. scola and west missed almost all their mid range shots, if they wouldve hit only a few the game was totally different. i still think the pacers can win the series but they blew a great opportunity to take command. its hard to imagine stephenson having another great game like that, the guy is earning himself a mega pay day from someone else.
It's over for Indiana, they just gave away the HC advantage. I guess we'll have a rematch from last finals.
Am I crazy, or did it look like Wade "flopped" his knee right into the back of Paul George's head on purpose? Nothing about Wade's action tripping over George seemed natural. :scratcher: <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/fnEYnPp0Z44" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It Looked to REED like George's Body Nearly CUT Wade's Legs from Under Him...Wade was Leaning & Looking Downward, Pursuing the Loose Ball, then Noticed George's Body was about to Cut his Legs from Under Him...Looked like Wade Tried to EVADE the Collision, but Didn't Get Quite Enough Lift to CLEAR George Entirely... Wade's REACTION to the Collision, Laying on the Ground for Several Seconds, Seemed a Bit EXAGGERATED, but REED Doesn't Think there was Any MALICE Intended w/the Knee...Just a Good, Hard Play btwn 2 Competitive Guys, in a CLOSE Playoff Game... REED:kidcool:
Roy Hibbert is Gonna Start Resembling the Guy he's Been Over the Last 2-3 Months, as Well... Bosh HASN'T Had a Particularly Good Game Yet...Bron HASN'T Had a WOW Game Yet...& Wade is Playing @ a High Level w/Out Getting Hurt (Thus Faaaaaaaaaar).... The Pacers are in Trouble...They'll Be DOWN 3-1, Heading Back to Indy... REEDopcorn:
I don't know, the reaction by Wade to getting picked by George just seemed odd to me. The way he fell just didn't line up to where George and Wade were positioned at the time. Doesn't Wade have a history of injuring other players, on top of his own exaggerated flopping?
They can win if the refs continue to bail them out but with no Ibaka to keep the San Antonio guards from penetetrating and no rebounding, its looking rough for them. Durant and Westbrook are gonna have to play great night in night out whereas none of the San Antonio players play with that pressure because they have one another to rely on.
OKC's Bigs have to Bring Bad Boy Pistons Type of PHYSICALITY to Game 2... They Played Fucking TURNSTILE Post Defense in Game 1...Shit Got Sooooooooooo Bad, Brooks had to @ Least TRY Letting Durant's 110 pound Ass Guard Duncan...Perkins & Collison can Compensate for their LACK of Athleticism w/PHYSICALITY...You Get 6 Fouls; USE Them... Steven Adams Needs to Be Physical Too, but Not to the Point of Fouling Out...REED Actually Thinks Adams has MORE Offensive Wherewithal than he's Being Allow to Show...w/Ibaka Out, OKC Should Explore Some Post Up Action for Adams, to Start the Game... Ultimately, it Comes Down to Durant and Westbrook...They're Gonna have to Be in the 70pt or Higher Range, for the Remainder of the Series, to WIN It... REED:kidcool:
REED Can't Say he's Ever Known Wade to have that Type of History or Reputation... He's Definitely a DRAMA QUEEN Who Exaggerates & Milks Injuries, but REED's Never Known him to Be a Guy that HURTS Other Players... REED:kidcool:
Wade is a cagey SOB. He's known for his dirty tactics, among them injuring Rondo and breaking Kobe's nose. I don't see anything wrong with it. You can't be in the NBA and be a total pussy.
Well, tell him to stop flopping around like a fucking trout then. :nono: I don't mind a guy who can dish it out, as long as he can take it back in return. There's a reason why other players shit-talk Wade so much.
Wade is a fake tough guy. He backs out of most confrontations and he's hidden behind Haslem all his career.
Lance Stephenson will be fined for flopping, but Lebron will not. How nice. <iframe class="vine-embed" src="https://vine.co/v/MHIi1m2Ij56/embed/simple" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe><script async src="//platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
