If you let the Celtics get momentum late you will lose

That Noah ankle injury looked horrible. Surprised he's walking off the court.

Javale McGee with his finest game yet ? 16/16, 3 blocks, +30 when on the court.

Thank goodness for the Clips-Grizz series, hope it goes on just as it´s been the first 2 1/2 games.
Pacers win the duel of the inept to go up 3:1, almost managing to loose a 20 point lead against the Magic and their go to guy Glen Davis. They really only run the Pick and Roll and Nelson isn´t even any good at it. What a brain fart by Speights and then he fails to foul or at least challenge Griffin. As talented as he might be, Speights is not a player i want in any position of responsibility on my team, Grizz better hope Gasol and Randolph don´t get into foul trouble much. Grizzlies struggled to get Gasol involved, some ridiculously bad entry passes ...

Love the Pacers team basketball, but they can't keep these 4th quarter collapses up. The series should be over, but at least it's not 2-2. If they want to seriously challenge Miami, which I think they can, they'll need to replicate game 3 more than any of the others.

Gutsy decicion to leave Gasol in after he picks up his 4th very early in the 3rd quarter (i think about a minute in), it paid off in that the Grizz went from -5 to +5. Gasol finally got some touches to score, passed the ball well and defensively even with 4 fouls was a huge factor. I don´t care about the numbers, but he´s the most important post player for either team. The Grizz should get him involved more on offense, but even without that he´s affecting the way the Clips have to play on both ends. He´s become a stellar defender, wouldn´t have thought that a couple years ago (he really is allways in the right spot and playing defense with his feet while keeping his hands up, all 3 of his blocks without leaving his feet)

This has to be the most depressing fall I can remember for a team I've ever rooted for. A few weeks ago the Bulls had one of the best teams in the league, Rose was finally healthy, and poised to make a run. And even if that run didn't workout, we still had a young team that could come back next year to compete.
Now Rose tears his ACL and may never be the same. At best will miss half of next season. Deng needs wrist surgery after the Olympics and will miss a couple months next year. Noah just destroyed his ankle. I highly doubt Reinsdorf will be willing to pay the luxury tax for a team with this many question marks so we will likely lose some of that depth. And the team looks absolutely lost without Rose and Thibodeau has been exposed. I feel like we went from a team that would be competing for the next half decade to a team that is a giant question mark. |

The NBA does not reseed. It would be Celtics-Sixers and Pacers-Heat.

In honor of the Avengers movie...
CELTICS SMAASH! I mean, eight minutes without a FG in the third, 11 4th Q points, and still score 101 and win by 22? Yes please.

Wow, not fouling at the end there was a disastrously stupid decision. Denver is lucky to get away with it.

Great game between the Lakers and Nuggets last night Nuggets almost loose the big lead late with some bad defense (but also Kobe simply going off), but prior to that played really fun-to-watch basketball.
Javale McGee sans the brain farts is really fun to watch, some of the things he does are pretty spectacular. Andre Miller was also great and man, is there a better lob passer around ? Bulls win an ugly game against the 76ers allowing just 69 points and Luol Deng finally showed up with 24 points, 3 games prior (so the 3 without Rose) he had 24 combined. Deng has hit 1 (!) FT (of 4) in 5 games btw and only 6 Assists. He´s definitely disapointed me this series without Rose. Al Horford with a huge game in his first start back from injury, 19/11. Pacers close out the series with a balanced game.

When you're at home in a close out game, you have to get that job done. Not trying to take credit away from Denver, as they had their backs against the wall and got the win. But the Lakers dropped the ball big time, letting Denver build the lead and just not coming prepared to finish off the series last night.
As a result, I expect Denver to win in Denver on Thursday, and this will be decided by a Game 7 at Staples on Saturday. Which is pretty surprising given how things looked after Game Four.

I suppose that if Bynum is right about close out games, game 7 should be an easy game for both teams.

Chris Andersen's home searched by the Sheriff's Internet Crimes Against Children unit.
Officials would not specify what was seized, but said the items were sent to the Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory near Denver, run by the FBI and local law enforcement. Analysts at that lab typically make copies of computer hard drives and other materials as part of what can be a weeks-long search for evidence. The department began investigating Andersen in February after receiving information from a law enforcement agency in California. Hanavan declined to release details, including the nature of any pending charges, citing an ongoing investigation. He said they're asking that the case be sealed.

If he had injured himself on a fire extinguisher trying to rescue a kid from a burning building, that's one thing. Since he didn't, I have to agree that it's funny stuff

I think he was gambling that Asik had a clear dunk at the rim. Tough decision to make in a split second. Getting killed on Twitter for it.
Great job by Iggy just pushing it all the way to the rim, too. Last edited by korme : 05-10-2012 at 08:58 PM. |

The Sixers probably have no chance against the Celtics, but that was a huge win for a young team.

I think the Sixers have a good chance against the Celtics. I do think the Celtics will win, but that's not going to be an easy series, IMO.
