Thought this could be a good thread to talk about the other series and only saw the around the nba regular season thread

I really want Toronto to come out of the east

Lowry, patty p, and of course my favorite...the chuck wagon!!! That Toronto crowd seems pumped!

Raptors or Pacers (for Scola)
Would be great to have a Houston/Indy finals since we started the preseason against them in Manila and Taiwan.

We tied Miami Heat for overall record with 54 wins and 28 losses
We also split the season series 1-1

So next tie-breaker is conference record or division record?
Houston is 31-21 vs Western Conference
Miami is 34-18 vs Eastern Conference

Houston is 11-5 vs Southwest Divsion
Miami is 12-4 vs Southeast Division (a far weaker division)

Either way Miami would get home court if we met in the Finals.
But I think few people thought we would have the same record as the world champs when the season began.

That would be tough, the Russian money Nets are no kidding.

Man, I'm so glad the Blazers beat the Warriors in that pivotal regular season game. The Warriors are a dangerous team. Mark Jackson is a better playoffs coach than Doc Rivers and McHale IMO. Contagious choking free throws, but no excuse for CP3, he made the 2 threes but missed the two freebies!

Exciting so far

The end of that warriors clips game was awesome and I laughed hysterically at grifiins water dumping

I used to love cp3 but now he annoys me 99% of the time and I used to hate Blake griffin and now he only annoys me 50% of the time

I missed the entire first half of the warriors game and the entire 2nd half of the Toronto game because I took m'lady to oculus (sucked) was the reffing as horrible against the raps as they say or is it just because raps fans make up 75+% of this site?

Just so happy the regular season is over. So damn long and lost interest in the NBa.

Lol Pacers losing at home to a team that did not want to make the playoffs

I don't actually hate the Heat. I hate their idiot fans, like the Laker idiot fans, but not the team or the players. You all know I reserve that hatred for Dallas and Utah!!!

If Miami get bumped out of the finals, that would really make me happy. I Just want to be able to stir up the Miami fans. I see a lot of people getting trolling warnings if that happens. The Heat RealGM board will be saturated with hatred.

I'd love to see Charlotte in the 2nd Round, Toronto as well. It would just be great to see some of these teams that were projected to suck. The NBA won't like it though, ratings will take a nose dive. They're already losing a lot of money with no Lakers or Celtics.

Agreed, IMO they should cut some games, less injuries for the players. Less money tho.

Unbelievable, Pop's protege, no kidding, and they're without their best player.

My second favorites are Pacers and Toronto. :/

Their having a tough time right now, but I also want GS to beat the Clippers because they're a bad match-up for us if we advance.

i think blake griffin should be suspeded for the rest of the playoffs

what a joke now players can throw liquid to fans faces( i know it did not hit his face but the intention was there) unreal

onpaper the raptor look like a bad team not surprise the nets beat them yesterday im surprise the hawks beat the pacers

We should all get on the Warriors bandwagon. If they can knock off the Clippers, we have a better chance.

Hoping Mavs v. Spurs goes the distance to a 7 game series.. better chance of that happening if Dallas steals game 1.

Wow.. Monta just ran straight into Duncan's gimpy knee. Hope he is ok, but if he has to miss games (or the rest of the playoffs) the Spurs are in trouble. Possible 2nd round matchup with Dallas?

No word on his status yet, but nobody is checking him out on the bench, right? That would be a big blow.

So far the games have been pretty good. TOR/BKN came down to the final couple minutes...it was cool seeing 2Pat, Lowry, and Hayes on the court at the same time during the 4th. Warriors game was amazingly good....after their slow start, the Warriors dissected the Clippers scheme of trapping Curry in the pick and roll. Warriors D was good too. The Hawks game was good too, just cause it was an upset. The OKC game sucked, but Memphis made it interesting for some time at least...

And Duncan's back in.

The Fundamental putting his team on his back and willing them to victory! Hopefully we see the same thing from Harden and Howard

Here's hopin!

On the flip side, we're seeing Dirk missing shot after shot...including that last layup. If he plays even half his normal game, then Dallas probably holds onto their lead.
