You can't blame the coach when his guys aren't hitting shots. Green started off the OKC series 2-12 from long distance and the Spurs were up 2-0. Not going to hate on the coach for seeing if another guy could be a little more productive.

Duncan had some shitty games in their first two losses, but he was solid last game. That's a tough one if you're Pop. But he's a HOF coach...he should be able to figure it out.

Your cock still hard over Heat-Thunder?

I can not believe they lost that game with how inefficient Pierce, Allen and even Rondo were...

I still think the Heat take the series. Obviously that prediction doesn't look so great right now, but I stand by my shit. Just like I stood by the Thunder. I told everyone down here that they were still going to take the series after being down 2-0.

I know who the two best teams in the NBA are right now. And that's the Heat and the Thunder. The Heat are playing like dog shit at the end of games right now. They are hesitant in everything they do...it's painful to watch. But I think they can take game 6 in Boston and close it out in Miami.


Also, after looking at the highlights last night...the Celtics got about every lucky bounce their way. I counted three tipped balls (I'll give Rondo credit on the tip to the corner) that went to wide open three point shooters. I was trying to figure out how the Celtics pulled that game out, and it was because of getting bounces, hitting their wide open threes, and Boston making theirs. Winners create their own luck, so I'm not complaining. Just making an observation. I don't think Boston is playing at a level above Miami right now...they are just doing slightly better job at finishing games.

Fair enough but you mean best two teams IN THEIR CONFERENCES right? Spurs have to be a bettr team than Miami, no?

I think Miami at full strength with a healthy Bosh is better than San Antonio. Spurs had an incredible run at the end of the season and into the playoffs...but when they are playing against a good perimeter defense, they are extremely average. Wade/Lebron/Battier would put the clamps on Parker/Ginobili just like Thabo and company are doing. It would be a good series, but I think the Heat would take them.

I doubt the Spurs would lose to the Pacers...twice

6/6/2012 5:11:53 PM

Which way are we leaning tonight? I think the Spurs wake up and win the next two. Medium play at +4.5

6/6/2012 5:29:31 PM

i dunno but i heard an analogy i liked on Miami sports radio this morning

they said the Celtics were like a decent looking woman, not great looking, kinda smart, kinda funny, decent body, etc

and the Heat were an ugly dumbass woman with 2 great titties

6/6/2012 5:34:26 PM

Seems like a reach

Put $400 on thunder tonight and $500 on heat in game 6. Gotta be ready to neutron the finals.

Miami will get too much credit in the finals, but Boston would be tremendous underdogs

6/6/2012 6:21:25 PM

that kid will be on tosh in no time

6/6/2012 7:27:33 PM

This is over for the Heat. It is all very similar to what happened last year in the finals. Put a fork in them, they are done.

They will prolly can coach and bosh in the offseason.

6/6/2012 8:24:17 PM

Who else saw Mo Cheeks doin a dance?

6/6/2012 9:00:30 PM

anybody know how many technicals have been called in each series?

i'd have to guess like 10 to 2, Eastern to Western

6/6/2012 9:15:15 PM

Thunder have never had to close out a Western Conference Finals, Spurs have done it many times, and its obviously showing

Still 24 minutes to go though

6/6/2012 10:10:02 PM

good to see a coach who isn't afraid to berate a superstar like splitter on the court

6/6/2012 10:30:41 PM

I thought this dude wasn't allowed to officiate spurs games anymore?

6/6/2012 10:40:44 PM

Russell Westbrook plays like a fucking dickhead

6/6/2012 11:20:54 PM

BEAT THE HEAT

BEAT THE HEAT

BEAT THE HEAT

6/6/2012 11:28:50 PM

I believe 4 of OKC's top 6 players are all 23 years old and younger. This could become a normal occurence if they all stay healthy/together.

6/6/2012 11:35:57 PM

Great season Spurs! Duncan is too old and slow like a sloth.

Screw Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka and perkins for their shitty attitude, but Durant is awesome and deserves it.

Hope Durant will beat the Heat (unless Celtics do that).

6/6/2012 11:36:05 PM

I don't think the Heat or Celtics have a chance against OKC

I think the Celtics have a little better chance, just because of better coaching and better team play and not just two superstars and a bunch of scrubs

But I think this is OKC's finals to lose

Miami/OKC might be more anticipated because of a couple young teams facing off which could be better for TV ratings, but I think OKC waxes the Heat 4-1 and beats the Celtics 4-2

6/6/2012 11:49:05 PM

Go Thunder

Go Heat

Fuck the Celtics

6/7/2012 12:25:28 AM

i really didn't doubt for a second that the thunder wouldn't win tonight. and that's not b/c i know a lot, they just didn't look worried.

6/7/2012 12:40:08 AM

really hope that's the last time we'll see Shaq on Inside The NBA

6/7/2012 12:54:03 AM

I think OKC's athleticism would absolutely destroy the Celtics. Heat have the horses to keep up, but don't think they can do it for a whole series.

OKC is running on all cylinders right now. Took a punch to the mouth by the Spurs in the first half and kept on going.

OKC's athleticism would probably destroy both teams...the Heat have like 2 horses...Mike Miller can barely walk

OKC has the athleticism of the Heat's Big 2, and the team chemistry of Boston...a scary combo

6/7/2012 1:44:31 PM

You only need to contain Westbrook, Harden, and Durant (easier said than done of course). Obviously guys like Ibaka, Fisher, and Thabo have been hitting shots in the Spurs series, but a lot of those have been wide open because their defenders have been double teaming and/or coming off to help when the big three drive to the basket. Miami SHOULDN'T have to do that as much San Antonio did. The James/Wade/Battier/Chalmers combo should do a lot better at defending Westbrook/Harden/Durant than San Antonio did. But we may never find that out if they don't take the next two games.

Boston would have a much better chance against OKC if Bradly wasn't out for the rest of the playoffs. Allen and Pierce will/would get abused by Durant and company.

^Westbrook is just a freak. I love watching him play.

wonder what their franchise would look like if the Blazers had picked Durant

6/7/2012 7:52:36 PM

Magic is GETTING ME FIRED UP FOR THE GAME! about to put me to sleep.

6/7/2012 8:00:02 PM

Probably the same. If he didn't get a debilitating injury, he probably would have gotten shot outside of a night club. They just need to kill the franchise and have it come back 5 years later under an entirely different name. Murder anyone that has every been affiliated with the franchise. Sorry Nate.


I can't believe networks keep giving Magic air time. It's been what...10 or 15 years?? The guy isn't getting any smarter. I mean shit...he makes me beg for the pre-game show to be over. I think they thought he could be like Jalen Rose. That guy sounded like a full blown retard the first couple years and has slowly become respectable (comfortable?) in front of the camera. Its never going to happen with Magic.

[Edited on June 7, 2012 at 8:36 PM. Reason : .]

to clarify, i meant i wonder what the Thunder would look like if they were forced to pick Oden

but its a moot point, kind of like if the Magic had picked Okafor

6/7/2012 8:38:54 PM

god damn Lebron

6/7/2012 9:45:20 PM

Stiemsma is a man amongst boys out there tonight.

6/7/2012 9:47:07 PM

Lebron not looking too bad out there. 30 pts in the first half.

6/7/2012 9:48:19 PM

Holy hell, the rest of Miami is so bad. Lebron is carrying them right now as much as he did Cleveland. Wade throwing up another shitter.

6/7/2012 9:49:43 PM

Actually...Wade and Miller are the only stinkers right now. The rest of the team is shooting 50%. Haslem has 7 rebs and Bosh has 4.

Keep hating Gymp.

I like how Battier gets zero calls on the offensive end

I guess even the refs are tired of him doing nothing but flop on defense

wow, 2nd bullshit technical on Garnett this series for passing the ball across the baseline after a Boston score
