First Round Playoff Thread

Rondo had an amazing game last night. Too bad Celtics lost because I think they needed to steal that one to make a series out of this, but man Rajon played outstanding. He was even draining jump shots.

Should have posted this in here instead of the offseason thread but...

LOL @ the people who said they wouldn't want the Bucks to trade for Rondo at the deadline or this offseason and Jennings will be better than him someday. We haven't had a player for years as valuable as him.

Rondo's a stud PG without the ability to shoot from the perimeter. When he's making his jumpers, like he did last night, he's unguardable. I'd trade the entire Bucks team for him.

I want them to crush OKC and then get crushed by LeBron... just so I can keep talking about how great he is. 8-)

But for serious, I am rooting for the Spurs. Tim Duncan is one of my favorite athletes ever.

I personally think a big mistake that most teams make is just going to one guy at the end of the game. I'll never understand why you don't just keep running your offense.

I think the reasoning behind it is they really don't want to give the other team an opportunity to get another shot. I would rather have a 40% chance of winning with out turning it over then say 50-60% and the other team getting a turn over

Hope OKC rebounds tonight and gets a W. Russell needs to give up the rock a little more and I'd like to see KD get up more attempts.

LOL at Pashke's voice on the TNT pregame. Surely this has to be the first time he has been used nationally.

I want the Spurs to sweep the entire playoffs.

Why? How boring. Obviously it would be an incredible run for a classic team, but I'd much rather see exciting games.

Want the Thunder to win by 4 tonight

I wanted to bet on this game, but had no idea what to expect.

10:56 Tim Duncan bad pass (Thabo Sefolosha steals)
10:04 Boris Diaw lost ball (Thabo Sefolosha steals)
9:42 Tim Duncan bad pass (Thabo Sefolosha steals)
9:19 Tony Parker lost ball (Thabo Sefolosha steals)

More evidence to lol at Scott Brooks for playing Fisher for 26 minutes while Sefalosha only played 15.

If it stayed at 3, was taking the thunder, but it went to 4 1/2. With the way the spurs have been playing 4 1/2 is a lot

Lulz @ Popovich.

Wooderson · Post #2577 » by **Wooderson** » Fri Jun 1, 2012 1:33 am

OKC has had a huge number of possessions with where a shot went up without one pass being made, Westbrook with most of them. A lot of their game is based in iso play, but that first quarter was ridiculous. They're getting swept if it continues to this degree.

RiotPunch · Post #2578 » by **RiotPunch** » Fri Jun 1, 2012 1:37 am

Worst **** call I've ever seen. Lmao and then the technical. **** you refs.

Wooderson · Post #2579 » by **Wooderson** » Fri Jun 1, 2012 1:37 am

at that charge on Harden. Neal's body was at a 45 degree angle attempting to draw the charge.

Gawd, I <3 Harden.
