Thaddeus Young just makes me smile. Love his energy.

I like how LeBron pushes off, and shoots FT's for it. Iggy has a right to be upset.

Great effort wasted, won't be surprised if they get swept now because Chicago won't be that bad again


And the crowd for this Heat game is pathetic

just wait a couple of rounds this is L.A. syndrome at it's finest.


Man what I wouldn't give to see the Heat lose this game...

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Anyone else read that SI article recently about Doug Collins? Never knew how much of a genius he is. He remembers every play of every game he has ever played or coached in. Philadelphia has a big advantage in regards to coaching, could make it closer than most expect.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Let me see, they're killing them with Hansb. , they have no answer. So for the last few minutes lets give the rock to everyone BUT Hansb. Great coaching there.

same thing i said

Granger will never be a star. I think most Pacers fans understand that. A star is Rose and at the end of games he can carry a team. Granger can't do that. Granger's a good 2nd option but, will most likely never be a star player it just isn't in him. He is what he is.

correct sir

this miami game is BORING!!!!!!

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Philly just can't put together enough offense to win this one. Was also hoping to see if they could contain Bosh. The best recipe for beating Miami is to let Wade and Bron go nuts, but limit Bosh and the others. This usually gaurantees a close game down to the final minutes.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Game's turning out exactly how their regular season games went.

Kind of saw it coming that each game would be grind it out, and Miami would probably win the series, maybe even in 5, but each game would be fairly close.

Philly has nothing to threaten Miami with on either end of the court.

Yeah, they just dont have the personnel for it...

Stopping Bosh is easier said than done nowadays now that hes actually going to the basket...

It sucks for the Heat Mike Miller cant be Mike Miller....he would be great in the rotation....

I like what Spo is doing with the lineups

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

That's how I felt coming in as well. Philly is a good team that is really gritty and has players that play well at times, but they don't have a single matchup in this series to their advantage. Not one matchup that they can win consistently that may open other things up. The only way that they can win this series is if as a team they shoot lights out and they aren't that skilled of a team.
