Really proud of the Rockets for going 4-1 in the series. Good series Mavs, you guys have gotten us out before so it's only fair. I only got to watch half of the game (class) but on to the next round for the first time in what feels like forever. Howard was the MVP of that series, fantastic game tonight (4 steals and 4 blocks!) Josh Smith played his ass off too.

Now to await the winner of this great series.

Nice 7 point swing because of Doc's idiot son. I wish the man had pulled out.

Lmfao!

 

[neptunes]

Parker has gone to shit

 

[overcast]

Yeah, Parker looks bad.

 

[Mutagenic]

Barnes is terrible.

 

[dream]

fuck i'm about to get a t here

 

[Mutagenic]

Obvious travel.

 

[neptunes]

ehh I don't know about these fouls man

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"suck what tho?"

Goddamn Reggie...

 

[Darknight34]

Jordan... go practice... save basketball!

 

[Tekniqs]

Duncan classy as fuck

just a regular foul there

 

[Mutagenic]

Hack-a-Jordan worked brilliantly.

Should Adam Silver eliminate the strategy next season?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

That wouldn't have been as bad if Blake didn't flail around like a fish when he left his feet.

Should Adam Silver eliminate the strategy next season?

How though? I mean, I always viewed it as the intentional walk in baseball. Ultimately boring, yes, but a part of the strategy. Hit your free throws if you don't like it.

 

[UnObtainium17]

I dont get why doc qont put in Hawes.

 

[Tekniqs]

lol Paul and Ginobli flopping at each other.

Crawford..where'd your shot go, man?

 

[Mutagenic]

Should Adam Silver eliminate the strategy next season?

IMO yes.

 

[LyleLanley]

It's almost 1 AM and I'm just watching a bunch of free throws.

I want to keep those kind of tactics out of the NBA though. It's fine in baseball because that game is all about statistics.

 

[overcast]

Yeah, as a Rockets fan I don't think they should remove the Hack-a-Player. These players need to hit FT's. Straight up.

I know it's boring.

 

[neptunes]

IMO yes.

Why have any incentive to improve your FT %?

 

[Darknight34]

Why have any incentive to improve your FT %?

Exactly, it'd reward bad players.

 

[Mutagenic]

Why have any incentive to improve your FT %?

To score points. The NBA is about momentum. I wouldn't say it's directly comparable to baseball. Yes, they need to make free throws, and I'm a Spurs fan, but it just doesn't feel legit.

Basketball is all about statistics too. The better (and more successful) front offices are realizing that.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

Wow Manu.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I've got to go to bed. Good game though.

 

[dream]

Holy fuck, Baby's doing everything!

 

[Tekniqs]

did he call that?

 

[FaintColt388301]

That's how you end a quarter

 

[Sparkedglory]

Nice 7 point swing because of Doc's idiot son. I wish the man had pulled out.

LMAO!!!

gadaaaamn

 

[Hyperactivity]

I hope that no matter who wins, the series goes to Game 7.
Would make the series awesome and would also give the Rockets plenty of rest.

Can't tell who I want winning, I can't tell which team is a better match up for the rockets, although I want the Spurs to win more but I have a feeling that they are the worse match up for the rockets.

Two texas match ups in a row would be awesome though

 

[UnObtainium17]

Big baby is eatin

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Clips are clown shoes

whew, what a move by CP3 though.

 

[Blablurn]

As a lifelong Clippers fan, I'm loving this.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Clips are clown shoes

Speaking of shoes and clowns . . . Danny might wanna tie his, getting clowned on

Timmy would chew Howard, and Leonard can cause some issues on Harden. I think the best matchup would be the clips, plus I don't want to see anymore hack a someone strategies. Screw the Spurs. Lol would be some nice bragging rights to beat both Texas rivals.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Reddick is trash. Dudes job ia to stretch the floor but cant evem do it

 

[Purple Cheeto]

The Clippers are gonna lose this, I can feel it.

 

[overcast]

Some of these shots look like they should be going in for Griffin, damn.

 

[FaintColt388301]

The Clippers are gonna lose this, I can feel it.

Yup. Its the spurs' to lose. Clippers have zero composure

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Griffin is working hard, it's just not falling. I don't want it to stop but I feel for him.

 

[LyleLanley]

Can't be taking Ts there.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Welp, Clips imploding like they like to do.

 

[Tekniqs]

lol that's a T?

 

[Eos]

jeez parker is playing bad
hope he's not reaching flabbynsick status

 

[FaintColt388301]

Passed the ball too hard for my dainty ref fingers. TECHNICAL

 

[Mxrz]

What on earth was that tech for?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Griffin is working hard, it's just not falling. I don't want it to stop but I feel for him.

Sooner of later bucket has to fall. Him going last 4/16 is unreal. Come on Blake, don't lose the trust.

 

[LyleLanley]

That was a rough turn of events for the Clippers.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Jesus, 3 pointers alone are killing the Clips.
