Pacers/Heat ECF last year was pretty nice so I'm hoping they both bring it again this year.

Bye Wiz. This is what you get for beating my Bulls.
Not sure why everytime a team loses, folks say they have no heart.
Wiz lost convincingly THREE times at home to Indy. If that doesn't tell you they are over-matched talent-wise, I dunno what does
Yeah they look like they don't want it, same could be said for pacers at times honestly. Some of these turnovers by the wizards is something else...
All around sloppy play at times but they have potential

hehe. spurs will annihilate both tho, but okc seems tougher for spurs.. #sweat
Why are Heat fans so deadly afraid of other teams?
They are so annoying. My bro-in-law keeps praying for weaker competition in the shitty EC. How much easier do you want it?
They are, every time they play it's a grind AND it's not pretty. Frustrating would be the word to describe it.
Convincing how? West was their best player this series, that should say something. They played a Pacers team who is all over the place, they have no consistency and frankly are playing like "garbage" considering what is expected of them. Then here come the Wiz, which essentially is Atlanta 2.0 (they have two better Teagues) in terms of being able to expose Indiana's flaws. They demonstrated this in game one, and it appeared they would have it in 5 or 6. I remember watching Inside the NBA that same day and Chuck/Jet/Shaq were saying that the Wiz were going to destroy the Pacers. It only made sense. Especially how motivated and confident they "should" have been coming out of that Bulls series.
But then you watch the actual series... Unless the game was being given to them, good luck being a Wizards fan and expecting your team to actually fight for something. Once they were down, they were down, they weren't coming back from it. Chucking 3s, turnovers, ball stuck in Beal/Walls hands trying to play hero ball. It was just terrible basketball all around. Watching their defense collapse over and over because of lack of help defense and lack of movement was also painful. You can tell how much heart a team has by how they respond to being down.
Now to the good stuff, let's go Clips

That's just sad.
The Pacers are basically built to beat Miami. They're like the Anti-Miami. I could see the series going to 7 games again, but Indiana has home court this time around, so we'll see if that comes into play. They split this season, and each team won on the other's court if I remember correctly, so we'll see what happens.

wtf is westbrook doing.
you mean how Doc Rivers paid 25k for better treatment? I agree.

No, but his seats seem to suddenly be available.
You don't think a 36-20 FT advantage is excessive?
Huh? Sometimes your trolling is great, but you're trying way too hard here.

Are you familiar with a man named Phil Jackson? It's something he's famous for.

Nothing beats watching CP3 throw his body around multiple times in a single minute looking for calls.
Westbrook 0-4, Durant 1-6... Smh
Nah, it just means the thunder attack the rim better #thunder rationalizations.

Is there a rule that says both teams should have equal FT numbers? Also, any thoughts on the refs taking out 2 starters already with foul trouble?
Phil who?
If roles were reversed and it was Brooks, you would be nowhere to be found when the topic was brought up. That's my point. You feel compelled to make ridiculous comments only when its against players/teams you don't like. I'm still waiting for your opinion on that Durant flop gif.
Again is 36-20 not slightly lopsided? Also see my post on harden and Evans from a few days ago.
I don't give a fuck how it happens at this point as long as the thunder lose.
I'm so sick of them and their annoying fan base that I will literally buy a Lebron jersey if it comes to that.

Stupid CP3 and refs, this could have been an OKC elimination game.

This game is already over.
I would like to think that but past history says it could be anything but.
I am going to laugh when the team never does as well as when Jackson was coach. Kerr wasn't a good GM. He hasn't really shown himself to be a brilliant mind during games either. That number of years and that amount of money for someone with zero experience is nuts. Spo only makes $4M, I think. PEACE.

I think it's weird how you can hate the Thunder but not hate the Clippers. They're just as bad, or in my opinion, much worse.
I'm a Clippers hater but I'm rooting for them this series since it's 8 on 5. They definitely flop more than OKC but refs don't constantly give them games
I used to not despite the bullshit Oklahoma pulled when the Hornets were there. Although I have never liked the way Russell Westbrook played the game.
I had a slight favoritism toward the clippers because I like CP3, being a Pelicans fan and all.
But the way this series has gone and the fan base from Oklahoma has soured me completely.

You like the guy that left your team. That makes a lot more sense.
Part of that is your delusions though. You unconsciously ignore calls that don't go the Thunders way.
