That's 3 of you that either don't have the Heat winning or making the finals. What's the logic there?
I wonder if complacency doesn't get in their way there, where they already have two titles and just don't have that extra gear to get those loose balls, etc...
I still pick the Heat to win the East, Indiana is still batling their ''adversity''. IMO it will take something special to get past Lebron and co. I have the Spurs winning the West. OKC have a very tough schedule in the first and possible second round, while Spurs only really have to go through Houston.
But they haven't been out of 1st gear all year long. Even so. Its not like the other teams look really really good. Not even the Spurs. They also coasted. Besides they have Lebron James and the refs.
I just see a bit of capitulation with wades situation and lebron thinking about leaving I think the pacers will come together this playoffs
What is so odd about that? The Spurs would have already won last year had Allen not made that miracle three (or if Duncan had just been on the court to make that rebound). I do think the Heat would need a near-catastrophe not to make the Finals. I only ever took the Pacers seriously as a threat in the East, but they have obviously self-combusted and it's probably too late now to salvage things.
^I was about to say the same thing. He was really good in the fourth. Big Baby and Jordan are great. Tight game though.
Dang, the GSW steal the first game in LA. A very uncharacteristic game from CP3 - forced tough shots and missed two clutch free-throws. Blake Griffin in foul trouble the whole game and fouled out 3 minutes before the end. Major props to GSW finding a way to win. Also the ref's were really, really bad. For both sides. I though this was playoff basketball.
That was magical. So so games from the warriors big 3 and still winning. Lol at Blake flopping on first play.
I knew this wasn't going to be as easy as some thought. Really tough challenge ahead of the Clippers if they want to advance, though like I said, this was a very uncharacteristic game from Cp3. Also having a cold Jamal and Granger isn't going to help. Game 2 is a must win. Having the referees call the fouls, the way they did is kinda funny, when you compare them to the calls, that were called last year against Memphis. Those allowed a physical game, where you had Blake and Zach on the floor every possession, yet here you see two players foul out in 15 minutes in a game where there wasn't any real contact.
Fully expect the Clippers to get all the calls in Game 2. Rooting for Hawks and Thunder the rest of today.
