Jazz game starts In an hour!!! Please at least make a series out of it and don't play scared!

Ps. Josh Howard is starting?????? Corbin you ass clown.

I was at a party last night and missed the end of the Mavs OKC game. Was it a legit W or was FThunder at work? I heard Durant hit the gamewinner

Regardless I'm bummed out that the Mavs didn't win. I wanted some upset series

Dirk got called for a BS offensive foul at the end of the first half and OKC got a three before the buzzer because of it. And then Ibaka got a BS and-1 in the last minute even though he wasn't touched. So 4 BS points.

Dirk deserves every bullshit call he gets.. That guy is snakey as fuck.

U would have left Carroll? I like Howard if hes not taken crazy shots. I f he is, Corbin needs to bench him like he did his first game back.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Wow lol I see konex's powers are still at work

That Durant shot was crazy tho

not gonna lie i flipped the fuck out

 

[Vire]

So which blowout is going to be worse? The Heat's 100 to 67 romp yesterday or the one that's about to begin in 45 minutes.

 

[Emwitus]

It will be pretty funny if the Heat make the Finals by beating a Knicks team without Lin and Shumpert, a Magic team without Dwight, and a Bulls team without Rose.

smh

I'll give you shumpert but Lin, the guy that was held to 1-11 against them? LOL It's actually a plus by subtraction.

Heat by far. Losing a playoff game by 33 is crazy, especially because a lot of that total came from terrible officiating. My guess is Spurts by 15-20. Pops aint Thibs. He'll take his starters out as soon as he feels the game's over.

Hmm. I saw the end of the first half, and yeah that was a BS foul, but I don't think you can blame the loss on that, even when it was that close

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Pretty much. Lin's got potential, sure, but I wouldn't consider him to be a huge threat against the Heat yet.


Still pretty torn up over Rose, though

Thought I'd wake up, and everything'd be better. Nope.

Anyway, would be cool if the refereeing in the next Heat game was less bullshit.

 

[StickSoldier]

I knew the Mavs would get swept.

 

[Meier]

Not surprised about the win over Indy last night as I predicted the series win but I just don't see us getting any further than that.

Don't matter. We already won; aint no need to play no mo games

 

[obijkenobi]

Spurs' starters: Parker, Green, Leonard, Diaw, Duncan.


The D. Blair playoff era is over! THANK YOU GOD

I love when logic like this is used to determine that refs decided the game...because you're completely ignoring the other side

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

I doubt you'll get swept, but it's crazy how if Durant's shot had bounced out you guys would have a really good chance of winning the series and knocking out the thunder.

Blair is a good player. We'll need him against OKC.

But yeah theres no way he should start against Utah. Diaw, Duncan, Bonner, and Splitter should get nearly all the minutes. Our teams too deep so even really talented guys like Patty Mills and Blair might have to sit games; its crazy when you thing about it...look at who other teams are playing (Jazz are about to trot out Josh Howard for instance).

I really like the synergy the Spurs have with this lineup now. Starting unit is primarily Duncan/Parker pick and roll & Duncan iso with Green and Leonard as the shooters and Diaw as the high post facilitator. The bench is Splitter/Manu pick and roll & Splitter iso with Neal and Jax as the shooters, with Bonner swinging it up top (and shooting too!). I don't think the drop off from our starters to our bench is much, if anything at all lol

 

[Meier]

This is kind of funny.

 

[h3ro]

I'm excited to see this Spurs team. I couldn't watch them impartially when they played the Knicks, as I was probably busy pulling my hair out watching pringles in action.

Let's see what TCB is always raving about.

Also.... G-TYME.

Get ready to see what real basketball looks like

Seriously, its very tough to watch other teams after seeing how the Spurs execute. Its a work of art really.

[Cipherr]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeesus Christ @ the Heat on that :lol

 

[BobLoblaw]

Lol! Far more likely (except the Lakers beating the Thunder lol).

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

 

[dream]

I believe.

 

[EvilMario]

So I see the Heat losing in the Finals is the lock of the playoffs.

 

[jjasper]

Plan the parade.

 

[snack]

Plan the parade.

Vancouver will plan one for y'all as well!

 

[Sanjuro]

Ray Ray is 50/50 for today's game. What a quitter. Winners are at least 55/45.

 

[Ephemeris]

Spurs gonna get it done.

 

[obijkenobi]

I am a bit nervous to see how Leonard and Green do in the playoffs. Thankfully, we have JAAAXXXXX and Manu "backing them up" if they have playoff jitters.

 

[dream]

I think Eric Bledsoe is starting tonight.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

When asked who'd start at center today, Popovich answered, "Tim Duncan, just like he has for the last 15 years."

Hmm.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

The main thing I'm watching for tonight is seeing if our unproven guys (Kawhi, Green, Splitter, etc) can carry over their play in the playoffs.

Thats my primary worry in the postseason (besides an injury, as always)...

 

[Mothman91]

I think Eric Bledsoe is starting tonight.

Over Paul??

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Hmm.

THE TRUTH COMES OUT

 

[dream]

Over Paul??

yes.

 

[Cloudy]

WTF, I thought Howard was done for the year? lol

 

[Mothman91]

yes.

It's the groin injury still right?

 

[obijkenobi]

Like Timmy's aggressiveness so far

 

[dream]

It's the groin injury still right?

yup.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Old Man Duncan looks so slow out there. He's lumbers so hard, makes it look like he's going to keel over after every possession.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Gotta waste a timeout cause Tony lost a shoe lol

I like going to Timmy early. Lets show them who actually has the better frontline

 

[Justin Timberlake]

yup.

Oh ffs

I fucking hate the NBA sometimes

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I love that Espn is using the the old jazz mountain logo.... Da fuck

 

[linsivvi]

Hmm.

15 years? That's bullshit. What is David Robinson then?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Lol no respect bro.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Hes just trollin' lol

Hes said numerous times that he hates the entire "argument"

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Good call by the refs.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Incompetent refs.

Great way to start a game.
