2014 NBA Playoffs

Chris Paul did so more than the refs. Don't get me wrong, the refs were horrible, but Chris Paul was absolutely atrocious those final 2 minutes. He has the lowest basketball IQ of any "great" player I've ever seen.
Not denying that CP3 was a bigger factor. Just talking about that replay call.
I wouldn't say he has low basketball IQ among 'great' players. CP3 gambles a lot because he knows he can get away from a lot of foul calls.

Wow, what a finish.
I am really proud to be an okie. A slew of fans did leave, but the majority stayed even after Crawford hit that big three with four minutes left. The place was still rocking when down by double digits, but turned electric after the rally back and when Westbrook got fouled on the three pointer. It was crazy. I definitely hugged and highfived some strangers.

If you are referring to the out of bounds call, I heard from a source that the official rule is if someone hits someone on the hand and the ball goes out, the team still retains possession even though he touched it last. The officiating was bad on both ends of the game tonight.
Jeff Van Gundy claiming Rihanna is following him at the games he's calling 
that was hilarious.
So we're getting Pacers/Heat for the ECF again. Really not sure who'll win that one. Both teams are struggling going into it imo. I will say that if the Pacers shut down everyone else and let LeBron go off, I think the Pacers will win. Don't think LeBron can do it on his own.

8-1 is pretty good for a struggling Heat team. Dem tough times!
They have that record because of the excellent play of LeBron. However, they can't have LeBron playing this way in the next series, he'll tire himself out. That game where he scored 49 points, you could clearly see how tired he was but he had to get every one of those 49 points.
Wade and co. stepped up in the closing game against Brooklyn though. So we'll see what kind of Heat team we see in the ECF.

I think the Bulls can beat Washington and I want the Bulls to win but they've been a weird team. They seem to have some great games where they win by big margins but then they lose against teams you think they would beat.
I'm just hoping Washington don't end up being one of those teams for them.
The thing is I'm worried for the Bulls if they make the final, the teams in the western conference seem to be in a different league. For example you could take it to the bank if they have to play Spurs.

Serge Ibaka is expected to miss the rest of the playoffs.
R.I.P. Thunder. Better luck next year.

I have no idea why Perry Jones did not get Lamb's minutes last night. He seemed like the logical choice with their dire need for defensive presence in the paint with Ibaka's absence. With last night already guaranteed to be an experimental game from the Thunder's standpoint, why would he not stick Jones out there for other than 2 garbage minutes?

Scott Brooks isn't a good coach. Can you explain to me why they didn't play Collison at all in the 4th. They needed defense more than anything.
The regression of Sefolosha's shooting this season kill the floor spacing of OKC's starting line up. They even lost Ibaka's mid range shooting in this series. Their best options are 2 old and streaky shooters in Fisher and Butler which is sad.
The young guys need to pose a better threat to help Westbrook and Durant. At least when OKC do the things the Pacers do, the ball is in the hand of these two great offensive players. When the Pacers do it, OMG the horror.

So, yeah, Spurs vs. Heat again. Cool.

Last night was embarrassing. All you see around these parts on facebook is people saying, "We were down 0-2 in 2012, we can do it again." The Blue Koolaid needs to be put down. We had Ibaka and Harden back then and this Spurs team is playing in rare form. It's not over yet, but I'm not going to be a homer. We may win 1 back in OKC and push it to 5 games; 6 games if we are lucky.

Their fate was sealed when Ibaka went down. I don't see anyway they win that series. Better luck next year.
