What a performance by Isaiah, it was ridiculous! He was talking trash to Markieff a lot, that was gold.

I am happy watching players with his height dominating NBA games, the guy knows how to play.

On the fourth quarter, Boston played this five together for a long and great stretch:
Isaiah, Rozier, Bradley, Smart and Horford.

4 players under 6'4 against their starting five (with Gortat, Markieff and Porter). It was succesfull.

Wizards and especially Wall/Beal looked really tired late in the game. Their jumpers were way off. Kieff can't stay on the floor by committing stupid fouls. They need more production/minutes from the bench and Wall gotta play smarter against IT.

They have no front court depth. After Kieff and Gortat there is no one.

I think they have a good chance of winning the series too, though it sucks Wall missed free throw and him and Beal missed shots at the end of regulation.

5 years ago though Brooks led a young Thunder team back from an 0-2 deficit against an insanely hot Spurs team who had won 20 in a row including 10 in the playoffs and 31 of their last 33. He had more talent but he also was playing a far superior team to this Celtics team.

Stevens is a great coach, but so is Pop.

God I hate the Spurs. They flop and whine more than any team in the league. They do it because it works though. God I hate them.

Have you watched a Clippers game? Blake/CP3 must be leading the league in calls influenced by flopping and whining.

The Spurs have history. They've been doing it for years. They are the Mr. Miyagi to the Clips Karate Kid.

Fair enough

I just think Clippers have been the whiniest team the past few seasons. Can't stand watching them

Don't get me wrong. The Clips are awful, maybe taking it to another level. Maybe I'm wrong about the Spurs being the worst. I just hate what I consider the originators, the goddamn **** spurs.

In all my years of watching basketball I've only seen TWO players get a ref to change a call: Lebron and Ginobli.

Not Jordan. Not Kobe. Not Barkley. Not KG. Not Curry. Not Nash. Not Westbrook.

Lebron gets a pass, but Ginobli?????

It's ****. The Spurs cheat and I'm sick of it. They foul on every play. Flop at every opportunity. Whine about every call. And when that doesn't work, they send in a scrub to attack Nash (and get Amare suspended) or Harden (who didn't bite on the headbutt).

As a guy that has had back surgery and ACL surgery I know how painful and terrible it is to have an operation and stay in the hospital, so I typically NEVER wish injury on even guys like Kobe. That said I was thrilled to see Parker go down. About time these cheaters had real injuries to deal with.

I hate the Spurs. Even more then the Lakers because they cheat.

Did you see the play last night where Ginobli drove from the corner 3 point line towards the freethrow line, got bumped, got the whistle, took another 1.5 steps and made a half-assed attempt at a shot? It was a blatant "on the floor foul" but Manu cried like the bitch he is and got the call changed. He got 2 free throws out of it. Absolutely ridiculous.

POP must use NLP on the refs. Seriously. WTF.

Didnt realize Tony Parker was a top-10 scorer in postseason history. Probably in large thanks to the Suns.

I know what you're saying, and usually I agree. But in this case, after the Nash-Horry incident, I feel no sympathy, and never will. I don't care if players on dirty teams go down with injuries. Actually, I love it. Anybody remember Bowen kneeing Nash in the balls? Or rolling our players' ankles on jumpshots? Karma is a bitch. **** you spurs.

Exactly.

I hated Kobe, but I honestly felt bad when he went down with the Achilles injury. Kobe never was over the top dirty.

The Spurs on the other hand play dirty and are probably encouraged to play dirty. Karma finally comes back to them. Remember when Parker flopped and flopped so hard into Barbosa that he took out Barbosa's knee?

If Kelly Obre Jr does not get suspended at least one game for his forearm strike to the chest of Olynyk YET Amare got suspended one game for just stepping off the bench.... :noway:
