Indiana played like Phoenix in crunch time and Oklahoma will never be NBA champion if they run offensive sets like yesterday.

Re: Around the NBA: Playoffs 2012
Let me know if I made a dumb bet?
I bet two co-workers only $25.00 each that Denver would beat the Lakers!
Is there a chance?

Utah is doing solid right now. They need to survive Ginobili and the Spurs' bench.

Ibaka is overrated
Favors is going to de-throne him and be better on rebounds!
once he is given minutes Favors will be a stud

Re: Around the NBA: Playoffs 2012
Watching Nuggets/Lakers in the first half I don't understand why Nuggets keep trying to attack the rim when Gasol and Bynum clog up the lane. They need to space the floor and take some 3's instead of always attacking the rim and trying to force shots over their 7 footers.

Bynum with 10 blocks and a triple double. 15 total blocked shots for the Lakers, Bynum 13 reb, Hill 10, and Gasol with 8. Hopefully Nuggets will learn from their mistakes and space the floor, find open guys and nail a bunch of 3's. Because this " lets take it inside and try to get fouled" didn't work well for them today.

Re: Around the NBA: Playoffs 2012
Thank you for making another NBA playoff thread Miklo. Few days ago I've tried changing the subject to NBA PLAYOFFS 2011-2012 but it wouldn't let me for some reason. So, glad you closed the old one and made this one.

Hawks are destroying Celtics at the Half. Do Hawks have chance to compete against Heat in ECF?

Of course not.
These games better get more competitive. Most have been boring blowouts.

The only game that was very exciting was Mavs-Thunder last night. And hoping Clippers-Grizzlies will be the same.

It's good thing Suns didn't make playoffs because they wouldn't look that great and possibly get blown out like Heat did to the Knicks.

Excuse me? I'm a huge fan and unlike most people, I wish we made playoffs then got a high draft pick. But, honestly did you really think we'd have a chance in the playoffs? If Spurs beat Jazz by 15 points imagine what they would of done to Phoenix. I'm sorry you don't agree with me maybe one day you will.

Re: Around the NBA: Playoffs 2012
I thought Clippers-Grizzlies series would go to 6 or 7 games guess I might be wrong. Memphis just outplaying them and if Paul plays this bad like he played in first half we gonna have a short series.
