Kawhi Leonard gets away with pushing off a lot
Also don't write off the Spurs against OKC. That series could go either way, Especially with the Spurs having HCA. Poor Blazers, they're just outmatched in every aspect

BTW, have you guys noticed Kawhi Leonard has started flailing his body around on his jumpshots. I guess flopping is contagious.
The words "don't worry" has been over used as it relates to this team. I'd respect the posts more if people would be honest and say "I hope" or "we should" instead of that cocky "don't worry"

I really hope okc gonna destroy sas in wcf, I'm tired of how lucky they are... last year la w/o kobe, then young gsw then memphis in wcf (seriously?), then 8day rest before finals, this year - dallas, portland, so easy...
Okc needs to punish them.
2012 finals rematch, can't wait, only reason why sa get to the finals last year because westbrook were injured, and even they know that. I hope okc just embarrass their old asses.

Okc got their number.
2012 they beat them, 2013 wesbrook was hurt, they would still beat them w/o harden.
This year in regular season okc destroyed them, I'm not worried about overrated spurs.
Even if they get to the finals they have no chance, because this year they won't have 8day rest before finals I'm pretty sure.

I was actually referring to my team about that word, but your "no chance" statement is just an opinion right?

My dream scenario.
Wiz takes care of hc tonight (2-2)
Then beal/ariza goes off in indy to take 3-2 lead (ala mike scott in 1st round)
Then they close it out in dramatic game 6.

Hell yea but at the same time im ready for the anti-dream scenario
Indy takes commanding 3-1 lead
PG goes off for 40, Hibbert 20-10, David West Kobe-esque 4th qtr crunchtime shots
Then they pull off the gentleman's sweep in game 5

Crazy. Heat opponents are 6 for 6 on 3's with :00 or :01 left in periods during these playoffs. With :02.4 or less left, they're 7 for 8.

That's the basketball gods
You can't do nothing about that OR foul before they attempt a 3 at some point
Stop being so disrespectful.

The odds against this...SMDH. Unbelievable.

Does anyone know how many of these shots were being "guarded" by Norris Cole?

Re: Around the NBA 9.0 (Playoffs Edition)
The Spurs in general get away with a lot of stuff because of their reputation.
You know, just because they don't have obvious a-holes.
I think they have a great shot at coming back to the Finals. I don't watch them very often, but they do play good basketball, much better than OKC for sure.

Re: Around the NBA 9.0 (Playoffs Edition)
No kidding. I want Cole and Chalmers out of the court in closing moments.. not because they can't guard those desperation 3s, but they seem to enhance their chances of going in by just being around them


So sick of it

Re: Around the NBA 9.0 (Playoffs Edition)
So John Wall has a scratched eye.. that can be a good thing for Wizards as he will probably focus more on play-making or it might improve his (broken) shooting ability
