Durant got fuckn owned.

NBATV isn't using Spurs announcers.

I don't let facts get in the way of the story I'm trying to tell.

 

[Syphon Filter]

anyone know when hat vs celtics is happening?

 

[numble]

What? Goaltend?

 

[dream]

NBA refs also don't let the facts get in the way of the story they're trying to tell.

 

[jjasper]

Yeah, he just never got much PT. With Gay out, they've really started going deep in their bench. DA could be a starter or at least a 6th man on a lot of teams.

That isn't really true. He has been doing this all season even with Gay playing. He has been money from the top of the arc all year.

 

[giri]

Where did i say he'd switch? Do you know how defense is played? Every team plays some sort of mini-zones.

The best lineup Boston has played all year is the Shaq lineup. It's +18 per 100 possessions.

Shaq is a big body and walls off the paint. His useful in a help defensive role and he keeps Krstic/Baby on the bench. Not to mention, the Celtics have been MUCH worse offensively since he got hurt. His presence creates spacing and would make it harder for Joel Anthony to help on defense.

You heard it here first, Shaqs outside shot helps the C's spacing!!!!


You're straight up turrible Hollinger.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Great finish by Splitter.

You're straight up turrible Hollinger.

You can't blatantly double team or challenge the Celtics in the paint when they play with a true center. If Shaq gets free his hands are too good and he takes up too much space, he'll get the rebound and either lay it in or get the foul. Krstic is too soft to do even that, and Baby is liability to get blocked even if he does get a feed directly under the basket.

I'm officially going to join the Grizzly-age during this post season.

Jumping on the bandwagon naow....

Who do I call to register? Who's dick do I need to suck??

 

[giri]

Afflalo - cold blooded.

 

[Pkaz01]

spurs are crumbling under the pressure

 

[dream]

Nice...the refs go out of their way to help the Spurs tie the game and the Grizzlies just go "fuck it whatever" and score a bunch of points.

 

[Black Mamba]

lol, his presence in the paint creates spacing, not on the perimeter. Boston is a strange team in that they don't utilize the paint when Shaq or Perk isn't there.

edit: let me make it clearer since you must be confused. They score off dribble penetration in the paint, but not off post-ups much.

When Krstic or Baby is in the game, there's no one in the paint. This makes it easier to challenge the Boston jump shots.

 

[numble]

BS whistle

 

[Pkaz01]

lol refs

 

[Darkman M]

Horseshit wow.

 

[overcast]

how was that a foul on battier? Cmon man.

 

[Nabs]

the refs are going to take this one over

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

lol i love these grizz commentators. good enthusiasm and just calling out the refs/spurs flopping

 

[numble]

FLAWP

 

[StickSoldier]

What kinda bullshit fouls did they just call against the Grizz?

 

[thekad]

Sternball.

 

[dream]

So in one whistle the refs stop a Grizzlies fast break, get Shane Batt in foul trouble, and put the Grizzlies in the bonus. Nice,

 

[jjasper]

What the hell just happened?

 

[Vire]

Sternball.

You would think he would want Memphis to win. It's a nice Cinderella story...

Should be a fun finish.

 

[BobLoblaw]

lol i love these grizz commentators. good enthusiasm and just calling out the refs/spurs flopping

That's one of the reasons I just can't respect Manu. He's taken the flopping crown from Vlade Divac and just run with it.

 

[StickSoldier]

Sternball.

Stern has been working his magic too much in first round this year.

Lol Harden. Got rockd.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Wow, the refs do not want the Grizzlies to win this.

 

[numble]

Longer series = more money for NBA and teams through TV and ticket sales.

 

[Doomsayer]

The Thunder get more calls then the Lakers. Harden is a huge flopper and can only shoot 3's.

 

[overcast]

Lol attempted flop by maun.

 

[Black Mamba]

no Jefferson to close.

oh wow memphis! If they score here.

 

[giga]

Ginobli flop. Grizz HUSTLE.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Lol fake flop by maun.

Nah, that was a real flop. First play I saw in this game also. I laughed.

 

[dream]

6 4th quarter fouls on the Grizzlies, 1 on the Spurs.

 

[StickSoldier]

Nice pass Westbrook!! Most people think you were shooting, but I know better.

 

[overcast]

"Z BO WITH A ZBOUND"

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

wtf zack randolph beasting!

for some reason i always confuse zack randolph with eddie curry. sorry zack

 

[giga]

Ball don't lie.

 

[numble]

Tony Barry is a thug.

 

[linsivvi]

Way too many questionable calls going against one team.

So your argument, is that, with shaqs defender able to stay in the paint guarding shaq / the paint, and the c's scoring heavily on dribble penetration, having shaq on the floor creates space?

I'm fairly certain no one understands your argument, it's just stupid and wrong.

And it's jermaine that will be logging the minutes at the 5, not the other 2.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Please, Memphis. Just put this team out of their misery. No D, horrible coaching, no heart.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

COME ON, GRIZZ!


damn... some of these fouls...

 

[dream]

23 to 12 fouls. That's plausible.

 

[Red Blaster]

Spuds needing significant ref help to beat an 8th seed. For shame.

 

[Darkman M]

Way too many questionable calls going against one team.

And one of these Spurs fans had the nerves to come in here last night with that la ref shit.

 

[Conflict NZ]

What is wrong with the refs? How can they call these rediculous fouls?

 

[Derwind]

Fuck yes. Lets do this Grizz!!!!

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

lol damn mydyess laid young out
