    Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round

    I mean I can see how Vogel's comments can be construed as "trash talk" because if you're saying some one or a that a team is the "biggest floppers in the league", that's almost like the NBA equivalent of calling them a snitch in a sense.

    Hibbert's comments aren't that big of a deal and shouldn't be because what did he say that wasn't true?

    But if this is considering doing "alot of trash talking" then maybe we as fans are getting sensative then since it's being made into a big deal on Internet Message Boards. Like Killa said, it's not like going to have an affect on the Heat winning this series or going to motivate them to win each game by 50 because they were going to win this series regardless if these comments came out publicly or not.

    I don't recall too many other head coaches going to that length to say something like that about Miami.

    Do you recall instances that I'm forgetting?
    Coaches, no but then again you don't really hear much from NBA Coaches as far as trash talking is concerned.

    Mainly from the Players reallly because Deshawn Stevenson said almost the samething about Wade and James a year ago when he said they were "great actors" after Game 3 of the Finals.

      Man I don't think anyone's getting sensitive....it's a bit conversation about a series that's pretty much dead storyline wise....point is, they are talking....time to back it up....and I don't know if "being true" really makes the comments any better...he's obviously taking a shot. If Wade came out tonight and said "Danny Green doesn't really do anything against us"....may be true of you look at the stats, but you say something like that...people will comment on it, sensitive or not.

        It's not a matter of anyone being sensitive.. I think people are missing the point.

        Basically just because Vogel directed his comments at the officials doesn't mean he didn't also take a direct swipe at Miami. He in fact did. That's the argument.

        Everything else is irrelevant. Nobody is arguing whether or not the comments will have a motivational component for Miami. Although, I'd wager it will in some capacity.

          Since there doesn't appear to be a 2nd Round Thread. I'll make my predictions here, Celtics in 7 and Heat in 5.

              I don't think anybody on the Celtics are going to be tearing ACLs this series which is pretty much the ONLY way that thing goes 7. The games MAY end up being competitve, but Philly is not taking Boston to 7 if they're shooting under 40 percent again.

                The thing with Boston is their injuries to PP and Ray Ray.

                PP said his injury will not go away until next year and according to Jackie MAC Ray Ray's bone spurs may keep him out of some games because he will have limited mobility.

                I could see another grind it out series with it going to at least 6 games.

                          Wait, hold up. So the NBA is fining people for basically name calling now?

                              I really think the Sixers have a chance in this series if they can keep Garnett under control. I like Iguodala's chances against Pierce. He looks like he's really been slowed down by something. Did he get nicked up?

                                It's gonna be insult to injury if Miami destroys Indy without using that many flops. I wouldn't at all surprised if it went down like that.

                                15K fine and eliminated in 4 or 5 games.
