Lol at jumping on a west pumpfake behind the line.

That atlanta team minus Milsap is so weak.

Was thinking the same exact thing.. you're gonna jump on a 3 point fake from David West... let him take that crap with a hand in his face

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Call me crazy but I still think the Pacers make it to the ECF against Miami.

I keep feeling like this series is reminiscent of Boston/Atlanta in 2008. Of course there's a big difference between a team with 3 future hall of famers trying to put it together and this Indiana team, but still.

There are quite a bit of differences between this Indy team and the Boston team. The most outstanding difference would be that Boston was a killer on their home floor. Every time they played Atlanta at home they destroyed them, they would have never dreamed of getting embarrassed on their home floor.

Well, they are the 8th seed for a reason and they won less than 40 games for a reason. What did you seriously expect? Lol

I seriously don't believe this Pacer team has it in them to win 2 straight. If they lose tonight, I'd go ahead and say that they roll over in Atlanta.

They definitely have the ability too do it, but like you Im not sure they have it in them to do win 2 in a row at this point. If this was the Pacer playing as they are capable of then this would probably be the close out game tonight, because the Hawks should not be giving them this much trouble. Got to give the Hawks credit though they are giving it there all and are a scrappy team, and they do deserve to win this series with there play.

Well I'd call you crazy. That atlanta team is a sweep for any decent first east seed.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

This is the oddest game I've ever seen in my life.

The way they set up the offense..how they get rebounds and nobody runs down court except for the ball handler

Continually going to a 2 man game over and over


and I have a hard time believing that everytime Atlanta gets swarmed on at the basket that Indiana is not fouling anybody

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Vogel you should probably start this unit next game. Or just give a shot, where it's not a 30+ game.

Just shocking how bad the east is.

Missing arguably their best player, first year rookie head coach running a new Offense compared to previous years where you know they're still learning/adjusting on the fly. At this point they're just going with whatever's going to win them as many games as they can, regardless of how simplified their Offense has looked. Everything they've done has pretty much been a bonus considering they weren't expected to have a realistic chance by anyone of winning this series.

Hawks, along with the Wizards have already exceeded expectations.

Vogel might be Lakers coach next year...

I actually think the Hawks would have given the Heat some trouble, but not near as much as they have the Pacers. If this Pacer team was playing as they are capable of playing then this series would be over in 5 or 6 max with the Pacers winning it, but since the Pacers have played like crap they are more than likley going to lose. This will go down as one of the biggest collapses in NBA history if the Pacers do lose this series which I think they will, as I cant see the Pacers winning it, and I look for the Hawks to close them out in 6. Larry Bird has to be having a lot of sleepless nights, and this will eat at him for a long time.

The Wizards are about to go to the conference finals

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Not able to watch the game but has Atlanta been playing with Millsap at the 5? I see that Antic and Brand have only combined 30 minutes so Im guessing they went very small. If so, it's crazy that Indiana couldn't take advantage of that.
