how do you get to the 4th quarter and only have 50 points by the 6th minute? that's like making 1 basket every 1.5 minutes of gameplay...

I'd be happy with that final, but I probably wouldn't watch it.
I'd love that more anything. Anyone but the Heat really (not gonna happen sadly).
so that means you wouldn't be happy then
Yuck that would be a nightmare. Not because of the Grizzlies though. I like watching them. But the Pacers are horrible tv. Just painful.
I am really hoping to see a Grizzlies vs Warriors conference finals.
JR Smith is being exposed as a fraud, dude played well in the regular season, as soon as he won the sixth man of the year, things went downhill.
And Chandler is perhaps playing even worse, its just that you notice Smith's bricks more easily, but Chandler has been awful for a long time, maybe its a injury, i do not know.

Maybe Cuban is more of a genius than I initially thought. Deron Williams looked like shit during large portions of this season and the argument could be made that he isn't worth his contract. Cubes didn't resign Chandler and Chandler has regressed majorly. It's kind of odd how Miami is getting more production, for way, way, way cheaper out of Birdman than NY is getting out of Chandler.

Pacers-Spurs/Pacers-Griz would definitely be my dream match-up ( since I'm a Pacers fan ), but at the very least I want Chicago to come out of the East ( don't really like their players, but I love the way they play ).

He did not pursue Deron as much as people think he did. He wouldn't even leave the taping of his television show Shark Tank to meet with him. It was more of a half-assed interest if anything.
Jason Terry wanted upwards of 8 mil a year
Chandler was looking at 10+
Kidd was dead
Barea is getting paid now too
I mean.... okay, yeah, go for it. You either win a lockout chip or retool before the new CBA shafts the entire league and keep from ending up like the Pistons (or the Lakers)

Yeah lol at JR being exposed. He did the exact same shit last season. Knicks - age has bee waiting to die/die all season. I'm just glad it's gonna happen in the 2nd round.
Dys solution to everything is to tank. Bobcat culture.

why would anyone but diehard Pacer fans want Indy in the Finals? I hate Miami, but I hate eye gouging basketball even more.
Not gunna happen tho, Miami is too good at denying entry passes into the post and Indy's guards arent good off the dribble, so theres no way they survive against MIA in the fourth quarter for four games.

People hate Miami so much, they'd rather cut their nose to spite their face. No one watches the Pacers now, and no one would watch them in the Finals. No one actually enjoys their unwatchable brand of basketball, not even Pacers fans. PEACE.
Basically what Pimpwerx said. Will take Indiana's boring ass over having to watch any more of Miami.
But it doesn't matter 'cause I can't imagine NY or Indy beating Miami.
True story. I felt asleep watching game 3 because of Pacers ball.

Is this where the Knicks suicide booth is?
Just curious.
Anyway, Knicks are guaranteed to lose if they can't foul with impunity like Indy can...and they won't be able to do that to LBJ if they make it that far, so it doesn't matter.

Knicks need to shoot more 3's. Amare should shoot more long jumpers than trying inside moves.
captmcblack

No, the inside moves are okay.
Indiana wants nothing more than for people to take contested long jumpers. You have to break their box with short jumpers, and pull the bigs out once they're forced to deal with the fact that they're giving up shots/floaters inside of that box.
They give false ISOs up to wing players, and do not double because they want your only options to be dealing with Hibbert in the paint or shooting inefficient long 2-point jumpers.
We definitely need to find a way to shoot more 3s, though. The shooting from yesterday is decidedly un-Knicks like.
Watching the Knicks not even attempt to drive is in infuriating. Especially JR Smith who is actually quite explosive once he beats his man off the dribble.
Woodson either needs to bench him or play him much less if he is going to stink it up like this. Play Amare 15-20 minutes.

If the Pacers and Heat play it will be a repeat of this Bulls/Heat series. The Pacers will make things difficult for Miami, but when the calls start favoring Miami and they're not able to get over the hump tempers will flare and the Pacers will lose their composure. See, the old Lebron would have been rattled when he was pushed in the last game. Marion got inside of his head and he performed like shit in the Finals. But Lebron really isn't like that now. He plays into it. The Lebron in the Dallas series would have went scoreless in the fourth quarter if he was pushed down instead of scoring ten points on clutch plays.

It's called a series prediction. A hypothetical. I don't feel like the Pacers have a chance against the Heat. There's a lot of bad blood there, just like the Chicago series, and I don't expect players like David West to behave themselves. If Miami gets a ten point lead the game is essentially over in any game. At home or away against them. Miami will not settle for jumpers and chuck three pointers the entire game.

Yeah i dont get it either. Every time that Carmelo drives something good happens. Yet he is content in dribbling for 8 seconds and putting up a contested 18 footer

Knicks PGs have to drive into the paint incessantly and probe for slashers/bigs or try short-range jumpshots until Indiana's personnel proves they can prevent anything worthwhile from happening when they do so.
Knicks bigs have to set screens high to facilitate those drives every single time until they prove they can deal with those screens. We know Indiana will not double. We know they are loath to leave the vicinity of the paint. Why help them do what they do?
Knicks defenders have to harass ball-handlers every second until Hibbert/West establish position 10 feet or less from the basket. We want them to cough up the ball, throw idiot passes, or limit the amount of time that Hibbert/West/George have to make an offensive decision in the post.
Just do that shit.

Now the Maloofs are saying they won't sell the team to the local group at all, basically forcing the owners to choose between approving the relocation and receiving money from the Sonics or blocking it and giving money to the Maloofs.
This Kings saga is worse than Dwightmare.

The Kings should be in Seattle. It just makes more sense.
It's obvious that both Sacramento and Seattle can support a team with proper management and a modern arena. Seattle will get their team eventually, and it should be from a city that can't support an NBA team.

Wait, I thought that it was already decided that the kings were gonna stay in sacremento?
