Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

3 HOF'ers exiting their primes? Ray Allen was a few years out of his prime and KG was definitely not at the peak of his career.

LeBron/Wade duo is a LETHAL one.

LeBron>Pierce
Wade>Ray Allen

Is that even up for debate?

You have no basis for saying you don't just put a title team together unless you're the 2008 Boston Celtics. What does that even mean? They didn't just get lucky, my friend.

And just to be clear, if Miami/LA/OKC/Chicago/Boston lost to Atlanta in a series then yes they would all need to forfeit their salaries. Not just Chicago.

I would include SA in that but they've already been exposed as frauds.

Oh I understood this already, but it wasn't even about just losing to Atlanta. My thing was "Ok, if you're gonna consider Miami a Work in Progress, then can we do the same for Chicago as well?". Even if they were playing Orlando.

I have an agenda now? That's news to me.

KG could have won MVP that year

Ray Ray is barely exiting his prime now

PP was still PP

Are you really comparing this made on the fly Miami team with Boston's well rounded historical 2008 one?

It seems like you don't grasp the point of my post about the C's.

Of course it wasn't luck that they won the title. That's foolish. I'm saying the C's basically had the perfect squad. That allowed them to get a title microwave style.

Has another team ever done that? I don't think so.

My main thing is, give them at least one freakin year before you get on the "LeBron has excuses" war wagon.

Your running in place Ex....when MIA or LBJ is in the convo nothing makes sense....

Heat halfcourt offense still looks average borderline bad. Terrible sets.

Haven't given Bosh one touch yet. SMH need to look to him to initiate things on the inside.

Rondo is Westbrooking it up so far.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Some very interesting fouls. Can't have your main players taking dumb fouls.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

smart fouls on lebron. dont let him get going with early dunks.

funny how all of a sudden only now is Boston irratating Lebron. anytime they touch him he wants to shove them off. lol

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

It's the playoffs bro against the reigning conference champs

Tensions are high so if you take a hard foul on someone you're gonna react. He hardly shoved off anyway. He and KG were cool after their exchange.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Pierce just can't hold on to the ball. Another turnover.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

OT:

Is this the first time West and Lebron have been on the same floor together since those "rumors" came out last year? Just wondering.

That's very on topic though

I'm pretty sure this is the first time. I think West was hurt a lot of the year and didn't play against Bron.

Hopefully Bron's mom is out of prison, not doing crack on the sidewalk and at the game today
