2014 NBA Playoffs: 1st Round

I'm loving these playoffs though. The Western Conference top to bottom is just a brawl this year. Memphis is one of the toughest 7-seeds I can remember. Lots of teams are playing at a high level.

Ya maybe (probably) plus paul was bumping curry while curry was dribbling to his spot.

All of those fouls were ticky tack types and refs tend to swallow the whistle on final shots like that so i dont have much of a problem with it to be honest.
As long as the refs are consistent

Yes playoffs have been awesome.


Also.... curry got screwed.

Watching the post game and shaq, barkley, and kenny are all talking about it being an obvious foul and when i watch it again i agree

Yeah but the refs aren't gonna call that foul though. There is a higher level of tolerance in the last possession, they're saying "HEY WE'RE NOT GONNA BLOW THE WHISTLE - YOU WANNA WIN - YOU'VE GOTTA PLAY BETTER".

Blake Griffin is the Anne Hathaway of the NBA. You respect what he does, but you can't stand him regardless.

I am quite surprised at the number of potential upsets brewing. (upset being the lower seed winning).

Portland 2-0 over Houston
Memphis 2-1 over OKC
Atlanta 2-1 over Indy
Wizards 2-0 over Chicago
Mavs tied 1-1 with Spurs
Brooklyn tied 1-1 with Raptors
(Mavs and Nets listed because they stole homecourt advantage away)

Only Miami (up 2-0) and the Clippers (up 2-1) are taking care of business. This is quite unexpected but nice.

OKC's problem is that they don't play team basketball. In the five minute overtime - unless I missed one as I looked through the play by play - the only guy other than Durant or Westbrook to take a shot was Thabo and that was only because he got an offensive rebound and didn't have time not to shoot it. It seems everybody else on the team is either afraid to shoot the ball or they have been told not to. Either way, in close games, unless Westbrook and or Durant are on fire, that isn't a recipe for success. It's a five man game and all five have to be threats. That simply isn't the case for OKC and Brooks will be fired for it if OKC doesn't turn things around.

iawtp

I think it worked well enough for them when they had THREE go-to guys.

12 to 1 odds is still pretty sweet for the clippers. I would love to have some money on that action
 
Loving these playoffs, btw.

I regret every West game that I can't watch. Which has been most of them. ****ing Finals.
