NBA Playoffs Thread

Exactly. Memphis didn't lose that game. The Spurs did everything in their power to win it. Kudos.

I still think the Grizzlies are the better team and I don't think they'll have any problem finishing them off in Game 6.

 

Stockton's sort of struggling. Has he always struggled like this or is slipping in his old age?

 

Didn't I see a game the other day where a similar camera angle made a shot look like the shooter's foot was on the line (and that was the call) but another angle showed his foot was clearly behind the line? I guess the question here is was the initial call a 2 or 3? If the initial call was "3" then I don't think I overturn it with what I saw on replay.

Of course, it doesn't matter. Neal hit his 3 and the Spurs won.

 

Kevin Durant is effing amazing.

And can we stage an intervention for the Blazers the next time they have a choice between a brittle 7-footer and a once-in-a-generation scorer?

 

He's slipped a lot.

Great game in OKC though. Yeah, I'm standing by my belief that the playoffs are more exciting than March Madness. This first round has been incredible.

I think the Grizz put the Spurs away Friday night, the Spurs are practically begging to be KO'd.

 

OKC ball, up 1, six on the shot clock.

I quintuple-team Durant. If somebody else dunks on you, so be it.

 

I'd really pay to see someone posterize Ibaka. He's been amazing but he's becoming Dikembe-like with the theatrics.

 

Well, we've pretty definitively learned tonight it won't be Nene.

 

But wasn't Durant's other foot on the line after he established possession?

 

I'm gonna want to see a replay of that inbounds.

 

Not watching on the TV with the DVR, but didn't Durant accept the pass with a foot on the line (legal) then establish possession in the front court and then go back over the line? Or was his second step into the backcourt, which would have made it legal?

 

The fact that Rock n Roll part 2 is still a mainstay in sports arenas is sort of amazing and I'm not even talking about Glitter's personal problems. Christ, is The Final Countdown next?

That's what I thought with the inbounds. Being on the other side was fine when he caught it, but when he dribbled it looked like he again went on the wrong side, which would be a violation.
