these beatings are a necessary evil

Players get experience, still stuck with Mcfail.

 

[Godslay]

It's gonna be even worse when Miami is doing this to OKC

Nuggets are the only cure for sinful ways of the superteam.

 

[Kacar]

So you're saying... you stand a chance with Lin?

Haha maybe, I might not be tall enough though.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Bucs got Revis
Chelsea gotten fucked
Stros lost a close one
Rox got piped

Pretty mixed sports day for me.

 

[SoulPlaya]

First round of NBA playoffs are so bad. They need to cut down on the number of teams in it.

 

[Smokey]

i think im gonna go play 2k and lay da wood to some kids with the rox

ill feel better

 

[perfectchaos007]

these beatings are a necessary evil

Not really. McFail has another free year or two with the Rockets just for getting them in the playoffs. It's not like getting swept in an ugly fashion is going to give him the boot or anything, and Lin is here to stay because he brings in $$ from Asia

 

[Nori Chan]

it's okay smokey

the beard is the new schoob


also parsons having a Ryan Anderson like playoff performance tonight

 

[Goreomedy]

Lol, mentioned the Skirvin hotel.

It's gonna be even worse when Miami is doing this to OKC

They aren't going to run us out of the building, if we get there. Might win 1 or 2 games.

 

[victreeb3l]

lmao holy shit talk about a blow out game...damn

surprised at how poorly harden and lin was tonight however. yikes. its lins first playoff game so its understandable but man the twitter backlash is crazy

 

[too much eslim]

there is a problem when a team avg 120 + ppg against you lol

 

[friskykillface]

Rockets would have won 1 or 2 games...........against the spurs


lol dummies. dat sweep is coming

 

[Nori Chan]

so glad were not the 8th seed getting that "bite the pillow I'm going in dry" pipe

I have settled for the "are you ready? I'm going to lay it in nice and slow" pipe as the 7th seed

 

[Vic]

Thomas Robinson hasn't played a single minute. lol

[exarkun]

It's not a real Houston playoff loss until they're down by 40.

damn, brandi knows us too well.

This the truth. Moral Victory! Oh shit, they reached 120? Nvmnd

 

[Syphon Filter]

Naw they will get a win at their home.

 

[Byakuya769]

I kind of hate OKC. I hate them playing black eyed peas at the end of this game, I hate the stupid ass beer laws there, and I hate all of these bottle blondes throughout this arena. Come at me, Gondo.

 

[TylerD]

1 down, 15 to go.

 

[too much eslim]

well at least they didn't lose by 30+.

 

[rando14]

that hate is but a shadow compared to the hate of Sonics GAF

KD gon get ya.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Suffice to say the Nugs/GSW game 1 yesterday was the highlight of the playoffs so far???

It'll probably be the only good series of the first round.

Actually, with Lee out for the rest of the playoffs maybe Denver runs away with it and that series ends up sucking too.

This is my only beef with the NBA -- the teams that should win do win 90% of the time. Semi-upsets are rare, major upsets are incredibly rare. Compare this to the NFL where you see runs like the Cardinals had with Warner when they made the Superbowl, or these NY Giants teams that go like 9-7 and win the SB, the Seahawks that one year (robbed by the refs, btw).

You don't see this in the NBA's postseason. It doesn't matter if it's only one game and you're out in the NFL because even the MLB and NHL have far more upsets and they have 7-game series' as well.

This is why the NFL is so popular, there's far more parity than any other of the 4 major sports.

We hate all those things too........

 

[Syphon Filter]

Heavy the boston/new york series is great and the best one of the first round.

 

[Byakuya769]

KD gon get ya.

Like last year? He's going to cry and get a hug from Big Brother 'Bron.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Someone reply to the novel I just wrote so I don't feel like I wasted time.

It's kind of hard for me to fathom NFL like parity in a league built on stars. Though maybe the stars model is a result of a lack of parity.

 

[too much eslim]

Best game was the Denver/GSW game. Most likely will be the best series. Even without Lee.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Like last year? He's going to cry and get a hug from Big Brother 'Bron.

they have the stealth home court advantage this time. 3 in a row.

 

[linsivvi]

Gonna be crazy when the Rockets are the only team to win a road game for game 1.

So close.

 

[Jake Tower]

That was painful.

 

[diehard]

lol wasn't it you that was saying how if you had Kobe you could make a run or some crazy shit like that?

 

[Branduil]

The NBA will never have as much parity as the NFL but there'd be a lot more parity if super-teams were banned.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Well....hopefully tommorows games will be entertaining...

 

[Jake Tower]

This is why the NFL is so popular, there's far more parity than any other of the 4 major sports.

More than half the league makes the playoffs in the NBA. The top seeds don't get byes, and play the lowest seeds.

It's also the difference between 'any given Sunday' nature of single elimination and a best of seven series.

 

[AcridMeat]

"You ain't leavin' LA to go to cold ass Cleveland."

So sad to see Lee's injury again. God damn. :/

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

It's pretty easy to have parity in a sport with a single-elimination playoff (for the NFL)

 

[Psychological Intellect]

they have the stealth home court advantage this time. 3 in a row.

if they even use that setup this year.

[KingKong]

Someone reply to the novel I just wrote so I don't feel like I wasted time.

Lee is a terrible defender so him being out isnt a big deal for the Warriors

Also I prefer the best teams winning rather than the NFL format. Even over a single game there are too many possessions for the better team though

 

[linsivvi]

NBA will never have "parity" because it's basketball. When you make 30-40 FGs and 100 plays per game, the better team tends to win. It's less random and a lucky FG or two are less likely to make a difference.

Also, 7 game series helps to ensure the better team wins.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Heat are 31-1 since Juwan Howard joined the team! LOL
