Jesus. I've been away from things for 3 days and the nets and Bucks go on some streaks. The fuck happened?

Atlanta is probably the "Weakest" one seed in a long while, and the bulls have had trouble with the bucks fairly tough defense+somewhat cold shooting on their part.

Holy crap I just had a premonition about the clippers/Spurs. Imagine I gets to game seven...the nba has proven in the past they will out sketchy ass ref crews on big games between a team they want to advance (the clippers in this case) and a less popular team (kings lakers game six lol)

I am like 99.8% certain that if it gets to a game seven, or even perhaps if the Clippers win game five, that game six... Will be officiated by notorious Spurs/Tim Duncan hater Joey Crawford.
I wonder if he will eject him for laughing again if so?

[ItachiZaku]

Also, what's up with Rose? His last two games:

13.5 ppg, 4.0 apg, 4.5 rpg, 7.0 topg on 30.3% FG, 18.2% 3P, 83.3% FT.

Is this a rest issue?

It's him playing to his talent level issue.

Told y'all Portland was not getting swept. No way. No how. Just like the Bulls won't lose this series to the Bucks.

[jreg]

It's not like the Spurs haven't been on the other side of sketchy officiating. Ask Suns fans.

[Blueobelisk]

*yawn*

I'm a bit lazy right now to fix everyone's records. I'll try again tonight maybe. It's not like we even have any updates since two teams decided they weren't gonna lay down the sweep.

Finally only 2 games a night for tonight.

Tonight
8 TNT Mavs @ Houston. Series is 1-3.
10:30 TNT SAS @ LAC. Series is 2-2.

[ItachiZaku]

I want the Clips, but I dunno, Parker and CP are a wash, Timmy... and Sir Flopsalot, and Kawhi.... I dunno.

I had paid 0 attention to the Rockets and Mavs.

[Gumboy]

Well right now Chris Paul is a far superior player than tony Parker, you can't really say they are a wash, the clippers have a big advantage at pg right now.

Technically they have a sizable advantage at like 3.5 positions. Spurs have better depth though.

[Blueobelisk]

Damn I'm tired againnnnnnnnnn tonight. I hope Dallas beats Houston so I don't have to do work again tonight.

Have fucking group work I'm typing up right now.

Kay I'm assuming Houston won. Houston in 5. I updated the google Doc. I fixed the things Jib and Stommped said. I'll recheck everyone's picks and link a post to their picks maybe tomorrow.

SAS LAC won't come to a conclusion tonight so that's all the scoring for today anyway.

ItachiZaku, bergmann, SL1200 Stommped correctly picked all 4 teams that won so far.
SL1200, Stommped, and bergmann are leading with 20 points (4 correct teams + 2 correct records, each).
11/15 people picked Houston to win.
4/11 people picked Houston to win in 5.

That's link again, but remember it's in the OP of this thread.

[Norganon]

Does anyone actually like the Clippers?

[Gumboy]

Does anyone actually like the Clippers?

Probably not :P

Spurs had a hell of a run there I guess. Not watching atm because I'm raiding.

- - - Updated - - -

Lots of people at 16 points so far on the competetion :P

[Norganon]

Just Chris Paul is enough for me to hate the Clippers. How can someone so nice off the court be such a fucktard on it?

- - - Updated - - -

I enjoy the way Manu throws those bullet passes.

So what do you guys think about Silver saying they're gonna try to eliminate the hack-a-player?

[SL1200]

I think Adam Silver just can't wait to make some sort of change to put his stamp on the Nba. I think they should leave the rules alone. Don't fix things that aren't broken.

[Norganon]

4th quarter is gonna last a century.

[Gumboy]

Its not tie is it? Still can't watch but ESPN app says 82-80.

Also, apparently missing a good game. Ref saying he's tired of doc rivers shit lol.

- - - Updated - - -

Ah just updated t 82-82

[Norganon]

Boy the Spurs are surely gonna miss Aron Baynes.

[Gumboy]

Lol watcing Houston Dallas highlights and they are showing every time Dwight Howard outright shoved people for rebound position with no calls. Kind of funny how when a team has a legit beef with what a player is doing and calls them out on it, they get fined.

Wonder if the nba will continue to allow it!

- - - Updated - - -

ESPN gives the rockets only a 35% chance of beating clippers, and 25% of beating Spurs... Seems kind of wonky to be that low?

[Norganon]

How did that not go in? Lol.

[Gumboy]

hack a Dwight! but ya that seems low

It's just strange because it is so blatant; he is like full on extending his arms and shoving people 3-4 deft out of position, not bumping with his body or anything.

[Norganon]

What was that technical on CP3?

- - - Updated - - -

Tim Duncan should be in Canton.

[Gumboy]

They are waiting for the Joey Crawford game where he throws out half the Spurs for breathing

What was that technical on CP3?

- - - Updated - - -

Tim Duncan should be in Canton.

The only person in the nba that bitches as much as Chris Paul at refs is his coach. Not surprised in the slightest, under the rules he should probably have 50+ on the season by now.
