I really am curious for that Wiz/Pacers match-up....Indy had a winning record in the season but yeah I would agree that some of those games where early on so we don't really know.

And since OKC will prob have this, I want the Clipps to win later especially given the injuries of the GSW bigs

Oh well, I said it a few days ago when Atlanta was up 3-2 that I don't think they win the next two. They got good players, and they're just a healthy Al Horford from being better than the Pacers, so that's something for them to look forward to, plus if they add another piece via free agency, they're on their way up.

Tony Allen pulling Durant's "card" again.

Marc Gasol is my new hero. Wish he had a center like him

Whatever happens to this game, Z-Bo owes him big time.

It would be a gift from the basketball gods if Memphis wins this game

If we had Steven Adams...

Spo would never play him

James Johnson needs mins. OKC doesn't want to see his intensity

Starting to miss the Heat...

really want the Raptors lol.

Nets would be less drama, as much as it would be sweet to defeat them

The league should make the Pacers play everyday until their next series is over so that we can minimize the time we have to spend on hearing or reading about this eyesore of an NBA team.

If they happen to beat Wizards, great, we will gladly whoop their ass in ECF.

I think that's great. Rest is never more important than in game 1, and so the Wiz will have a real nice shot at coming in with fresher legs and fresher minds steal homecourt right off the bat.

Pretty sure Pacers will meet us in ECF, even if they looked pathetic we should be ready for a fight with them pushing us to at least 6-7 games.

The Pacers playing on one day rest is their own fault, not the league's. The NBA didn't make them be the worst 1st seed in recent history.

Memphis just doesn't have enough offense.

Post #2136 » by **IggieCC** » Sun May 4, 2014 1:07 am

Am I the only one who can't watch the OKC MEM game because as soon as I tune in OKC will make a 20 - 4 run and run away with a glorious victory?

I am just going to keep peeking at the scoreboard and keep my expectations to a minimum...

Don't you love it when Tony Allen thinks he is some good offensive player?

Smash3 · Post #2138 » by **Smash3** » Sun May 4, 2014 1:09 am

Allen thinking he´s Heat Allen out there

Post #2139 » by **IggieCC** » Sun May 4, 2014 1:12 am

Yes I do. I love it.

He releases the ball on the way down from the peak point of his jump. It's pretty incredible if you really really think about that. Think about that.

Memphis gave OKC their best shot and OKC responded. Im not liking the look of this.
