Playoffs have sucked

...speaking of a crash and burn, that was some absolutely horrendous defense by Tayshawn Prince on that last play and then brain dead offensive maneuver after the time out! Frankly, the Grizzles just gave this game away, hook, line and stinker!

The Nets are such a mess. They are the perfect example of how not to GM. How does Billy King even have a job? That's gotta be why Jay Z sold his shares. Not just because he wants to be an agent. He saw how that the Nets were going no where fast.

They could have a core of Lopez, Favors, Kanter, and Lillard right now, instead of that hot mess. With the difference of 100's of millions of dollars, and no way to fix it. Wow.

And they still could have had joe Johnson. Crazy to think they basically traded favors, kanter and lillard for d will and Gerald Wallace. That team is screwed.
 
....I think the Pacers should put Hasborough on Mello! With all his elbows, knees and other body parts thrown at him, it would frustrate the heck out of Mello! Or at least until Hasborough fouls out!

Joe Johnson is part of the problem. Probably their biggest problem.
 
Remember how a few week ago all the talking heads were talking about how this is the era of point guards? Well... Sorta...

Big Z and Gasol powered Memphis over LA.
OKC. Is still winning without westbrook.
Miami is cruising for another year without a PG.
Boston's best win came without any PG (game 5).
Who is indiana's point guard? Yet everyone knows David west and hibbert. Oh and Paul George.
Denver had 2 great PGs and went down.
Steph Curry has been so exciting to watch play. He's probably the best PG still playing. Yet, even he isn't playing PG. jack is. Almost equally exciting has been Bogut. After 2 years of injury he has finally come back and returned as one of the league's top centers.

So I am not sure if Your best player needs to be a PG. I think having good solid bigs and/or a dominate wing (king, George, KD, Melo, pierce, etc) is the best way to go. We already have great bigs. Hopefully unchaining Hayward this next year will help.

Not to mention the Bulls, who used a broken down Heinrich and brainless Robinson at PG to beat one of the supposed elite PGs in the game.

Brutal turnovers in the last minute by Memphis, although I think Fisher got away with a foul to cause the turnover to get the lead.
The NBA doesn't do the good camera work anymore to show the plays. Where are the slow motion replays from different angles?

Bogut had 1 good game, how does that make him one of the league's top centers again?

For the record I wasn't comparing them directly, just pointing out that the "complaints" here can apply to almost every team in the playoffs..... well and doing so in a jerky kinda way.
 
I don't think I've ever wished so many terrible things upon a player as I do upon LeBron James. I'm not sure I can think of a single nice thing to say about him. In so many ways, he's everything that's been wrong with basketball the last 10-15 years.
 
.....they just cut to the Warriors doing some type of "hip hop" dance in the locker room/hallway on there way out to warm up before they get there collective butts kicked by the Spurs! Kind of reminds me of that old Golden State team that tried to pull the same stunt on the Jazz a few years ago.....only different! This may be a 20 point blowout by the Spurs tonight.....just to let the Warriors know who's the boss!
