Funny, the last 2 games of the Clippers, I saw like no flopping. Last game of Heat, didn't see any flopping. Well besides Lebron and his *trip*. Yet these 2 teams are notorious for flops, what changed? Was it because the Pacers coach called the Heat out on it?

not getting the calls.. the Pacers coach has nothing to do with it unless he influenced the refs with his coments

Chuck laying into Blake over only getting three or four rebounds. Only wonder how far this clippers team could have went had Chauncey Billups been healthy.
 
I don't see how the Clippers will do anything next year with this team. Not unless Blake learns some defense, Brandon Roy returns, get a good 6th man (Crawford) and a good defensive minded coach enters the picture.

Come on now, they went to the 2nd round with one of their main star starters, Chauncey Billups, out.
They fought decently with a healthy Spurs despite 7 members of their team being injured.
Strained groin, broken fingers, back surgery, bad knee etc.. all with which happened right before & during the playoffs.

I want to know if they will keep the core team. Are CP3 & Blake are the only guaranteed ones back for next year?
 
Just watched the Pacer v. Heat game on DVR. Well at least part of it...

Looks like the Pacers blew their chance. Wade got his swag back which meant the Heat Super Scrubs didn't have to contribute too much to pull off the win.

Granted I'm sure the Heat will lose another game because Wade and Lebron can't play at that high level for 3 consecutive games. One of them will have a sub-par game. This series is going 7 games but the Heat will ultimately win at home and play the Sixers in the ECF...

It doesn't influence the refs directly but it did bring the issue to the forefront and forced Stern to address it in an interview when he was presenting the MVP trophy. I think the players try to scale back a little bit after Stern's comment.

Your reasoning on why Pacers vs Heat is going 7 make sense to me, but why Sixers?

SAS has had to watch that SNL performance on different ESPN shows four times now (and I'm sure they'll do it on First Take too), and the poor guy has had to pretend to laugh at it three times now.

Skip Bayless in full on troll mode. He gets pressed on his opinions, and just is like "i just saw it with my own two eyes."

LOL "Lebron couldn't have won that game by himself, Wade could have."

Yao and Tmac were health for 22 games.

Pretty sure one or both of them were hurt during part of the streak.

It's just some anomaly plus players playing out of their minds like linsanity.

Edit: Yep. Yao was out during the 2nd half of the streak.

As a college football fan, I'm very familiar with the dreaded "Eye Test."

Useful for when you don't want to actually explain your opinion.

Oldbe is still faster than Durant?! LOLOL that's rich even from Skip.

Dude, watch your team. I knew the Clips were going to get swept all series long, but still stayed up East Coast time to watch them get their shit pounded in then sulked to work each day after.

The difference is that I know your team made it competitive even though they're outmatched, past experience tells me that the Lakers pretty much is done mentally, era comes to an end for Kobe/Pau too.

Also I retract my earlier statement, I don't want to watch Bynum thuggery strikes again live.
 
I don't feel your pain. At least you didn't have a terrible injury ruin your season. Enjoy watching your team fight. Don't take it for granted.

It's so not fucking fair man...

I really don't understand how he gets to make a decent living saying the dumb shit he does.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
Kobe is gonna score 75 points and Bynum body checks Durant into a glass window

do it mitch

Haha. Staples is going to keep the hockey glass partitions up just in case.

We live and die together. Watch it!!

Also, was out when the Lakers lost last game. I can't believe they let games slip away like that.

Then again, it's Lakers' style.

As much as I would like to turn off the tv and forget all about it I am cursed to watch our demise, despite the unending amount of pain and personal anguish I could save myself from. Its during times like these that my wife comes to the conclusion that I am truly insane.
 
First Take is worst than usual, I had to change it, haha.

I wonder is SaS is in on the troll with Skip. Like in the back room, they go, "Nice troll arguments, do some more, it's great".

He tried to say Pau was passing to Kobe on a cross court pass to MWP!
 
Let me just say that I don't know what I'd do without sports talk radio.

Also, I am hoping that 2013 Lakers looks very different from this years. VERY different. This team needs a freaking wrecking ball, it needs a bomb dropped on the squad.

Shop Bynum and at this point, trade Pau for whatever you can get. 2 or 3 young pieces.
