Enough that I feel sorry for an Ohio State Buckeye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Miami in 6 with at least 2 of Miami's wins being straight blow-outs. Pacers, Spurs, and Thunder all in 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think it would be awesome if the Zards just blew out the Pacers and came into their own as a legit team. That would be cool. My Clippers pick is more hoping they win. I don't see this OKC team being much of a threat to Miami or even the Spurs in a series. The Clippers can pose some interesting problems when they're all going. I'd also like to see Scott Brooks get fired and the Thunder be forced to make some improvements so they need to lose.

RandomAct Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm hitching my wagon to the Wizards just because I want to see a wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am more than amused that the first time in forever - the Wizards have a scheduling conflict. As the NBA scheduled Game 6 the same day as a Lady Gaga concert at the Verizon Center This is of course an enormous story around here because... fuck... they haven't had any thing else to talk about. MAKE HER MOVE!!!! BULLETS FEVER!!!! NO ONE CARES ABOUT LADY GAGA!!!! ZARDS ARE WINNING IT ALL!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm of the opinion that Tony Parker is the most underrated player of the past two decades. He's so wonderfully and consistently brilliant in every facet of professional basketball. Somehow, he's only made three All-NBA teams. That seems so ridiculously low. He's won three titles and has been the best player on a team a lot of years on the team that has been one of the two or three best teams every year for most of my adult life.He's a historic player and doesn't get his due until he puts up what he did yesterday, and then everyone remembers what he does on the regular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I made the mistake of listening to sports radio, and a few Blazers fans called in and talked about how they are custom built to destroy the Spurs. Apparently, Lillard is miles better than Parker and 'RoLo has made a career of shutting down guys like Tim Duncan'. I don't think I have ever turned on a fan base faster than those two minutes of phone calls. Viva Los Spurs. I am also fully prepared to eat my words, but everyone jumping on the Zards bandwagon is being a little premature. It's not as though they are a super team that didn't live up to potential for whatever reason. They were a .500 team that was inconsistent at best that beat a team that greatly over achieved. Even as the Pacers collapsed in the second half, they basically had the same record as the Wizards. I think it goes long but Indiana wins out. I think the Heat win in 6 after being down 2-1 kind of like Indiana two years ago. I have zero interest in the Thunder/Clippers series. My only prediction is the Thunder will lose a game and Westbrook will get blamed despite outplaying everyone. Gregg, Parker is a great pick for most underrated player if the past twenty years, but if that is the time frame we are using I think Pippen is probably still the man to beat for the title. I also hate to be 'that guy' but we could probably make a case that Lebron is up there as well; we have seen nothing like him ever and all people have done is come up with nonsense reasons he isn't as good as Jordan.

Charlie M. Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Tony Parker's a little bit like Tom Brady if Brady played in a smaller market. At the start, the "system" and "coaching" probably made him look better than his talent but they both evolved into great players that took on more and more of the burden for their team. Obviously Parker's not at Brady's level but they've had similar career paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hope the Nets-Heat series goes 6 so I can sell that game 6 and pay for my next season's season tickets in one shot. But if Nets are up 3-2 I'm going, as if they win the world will probably implode after the game and paying for my season tickets for next year will become moot.

jaedmc Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Man. It's too bad that in order for the Wizards to be good the Pacers and the Bulls have to suck. Even when teams improve the East still falls behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) If the Pacers think they can play Washington like the way they played the Hawks, the Wiz Kids will bounce them. The Wizard's guards are good enough to exploit the Pacers' weakness at that position (similar to Teague), but they also have legit bigs too. They might have to just benched Hibbert at this rate.

Cole Miner Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Shocked at this score. I left for the store right as The Clippers were taking a timeout down 16-10. Get back and it is 60-39. 6-6 from behind the 3 point line for Paul. Really impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I like Durant/Westbrook, and I'm not a Clippers fan - but at this point I'm much more interested in a Doc Rivers vs. Pop matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's only one game so winning the next game erases some of the pain of this one, but tonight is tonight and the Clippers came here to embarrass the Thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
