2011-12 NBA Playoffs LD

[Con T.]

It's gonna be tough for the Thunder now, but let's not forget they won 4 straight against the Spurs when they needed to. Not saying a comeback will be easy now, but definitely possible.

I think that they could
But Harden has to not suck.
Really, nothing else

 

[The Crock]

Big time production from Mike Miller, it's a shame he picked up his fourth foul there.

At first I thought Fisher committed the flagrant, but watching the replay, I'm not sure it was. It's the extension of the arms that I think got Fisher the flagrant, rightly or not.

 

[Slyfox696]

The Heat are just pouring it on right now. Still a long ways to go though.

 

[Slyfox696]

Wow...Big Mo apparently has set up residence in Miami.

 

[Fizzy]

This is fucking awesome

 

[PlayTheGame]

Wow, the Thunder would practically need a miracle to win this now.

 

[Moon Knight]

The Thunder are giving up. No heart, no passion, no drive and not a care. Pitiful.

I agree.

 

[Slyfox696]

The Thunder are giving up. No heart, no passion, no drive and not a care. Pitiful.

That's part of it. The other part is they're all trying to make a 20 point play by themselves. They've gotten away from the team basketball they played so well against the Spurs.

Some check for the DeLorean in Mike Miller's parking spot.

 

[Alastor]

Well it was over fast lol

I think that play was actually a charge. Ridiculous call but about what I expect from NBA officiating.

Definitely not a charge, and the officiating hasn't really been that bad. A lot of the criticism has come, I believe, because a lot of people are rooting for the Thunder.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

I officially retract any hope I had or shared that this series wasn't over after game 4.

 

[Slyfox696]

I'm glad the Heat are winning on their home floor. It's so much better when the home team wins the championship.

 

[Megatron]

I think LBJ rightfully deserves to be called King James now. Skip Bayless suck a dick.

 

[Harthan]

Congratulations to the Miami Heat on a pretty incredible victory. I certainly did not expect them to dominate this series so thoroughly.

 

[JGlass]

This is quite exciting. History is seconds away from being made. Incredible.

 

[Moon Knight]

Dear Mr. Gilbert the owner of the Cavs.

 

[Slyfox696]

I guess this series ends most, if not all, debate on who the best player in the NBA really is.

Since this is a team accomplishment, not really.

It won't. LBJ haters will always find something to rip him on. I don't think they'll give him the credit he's due until he's won all 8 of those championships he said he would.

Or some just have a different opinion on the matter.

The officiating in the playoffs was no worse than it is in any regular NBA game. Basketball is a hard game to ref before you start having to make circumstantial exceptions based on entertainment.

Why wasn't it a charge? He barreled into him and his shoulder went pretty much right square in the middle of Fisher's chest. People mistakenly think the feet of the defender is the most important thing when it comes to taking a charge. That isn't the case. I would expect that to be called a block in the NBA but to take it to the step of making it flagrant was absurd.
