NBA Playoff Thread

LeBron said after the game that he's been having elbow issues for the past three weeks (kinda puts those last few regular season games he sat out for "rest" in a new light, no?), but he's had lots of test done, and none showed structural damage. Sounds like it's some sort of nerve thing.

He smacked the elbow on the floor going for a block on Rose late in the game, and his reaction to it was kind of weird. He sat there for a second, almost trying to figure out what was going on with his arm, then swatted away a teammate who was trying to pull him up.

LeBron tried to downplay the whole thing in his postgame presser. He'll probably be fine by Saturday, but I wouldn't be surprised if this flares up again off and on through the rest of the playoffs.

 

Dwight Howard is still crying about the refs.

And Brian Windhorst tells it like it is. (Towards the very end)

What did he say? I have no interest in listening to an entire podcast.

 

This may well be Cleveland's year, but there's still that small voice whispering in my ear, "don't believe it until you see it, bro."

 

You can skip ahead. He basically just said that he doesn't know what he's complaining about because he constantly goes over the back and commits plenty of actual fouls. The podcast is actually from before that story broke, but he just talks about how old it's getting listening to Howard and Ron Jeremy complain about foul calls when if you're watching the game, Howard is constantly making dumb plays to get called for fouls.

 

Looky what the Bucks are doing.

Fear the Deer, bitches.

 

;D

 

Oy vey. I should of known better to post after this long day.

And yes, I know it's "should have" ... that's one for the old-timers here.

 

Huuuuuuge comeback by Milwaukee.
Also, Kurt Thomas has always reminded me of the now-jailed Jayson Williams.
I don't know why.

 

Oh hell yes. Bucks!

 

Fear the Deer indeed.

Really nice performance by Ridnour off the bench. 15 points in 18 minutes. Four freaking steals!

 

Skiles should have been coach of the year. I know both of the top candidate had great years, but c'mon. Brooks has Kevin Durant. Look at what the Bucks are doing without Bogut. Pretty amazing.
