Official NBA Playoffs Thread

[Jaidi]

I just got a GOOD look at San Antonio up and down last night. They are going to win it all. I thought their 3 ball was just a fluke and will go away in the playoffs. Not the case, their shooting is real and its deadly. I thought Ginobli might have slowed down a little but truth be told he still gets all the way to the rim almost at will. Once He's there He can finish or find shooters in perfect position. They have Duncan who You still have to pay attention to on the block, a mvp caliber guy in Parker, one of the games best closers in Ginobli, and hands down the best NBA coach we've had the last 2 decades in Greg Popovich. If that wasn't enough You have 3 veterans in Duncan, Ginobli, Parker who are hungry.



I just realized OKC, Miami do not execute down the stretch anywhere near the level they will need to beat a San Antonio.

Reminder that I told you guys this before the playoffs even started and all of you went ona bout some Grizzlies nonsense Spurs are on a massive win streak and will not lose to OKC with HCA. Spurs in 6 in the WCF.

These aren't your father's Spurs...the way they execute is textbook and they seem like a well-oiled machine every night out. You're not gonna beat them if you rely on a predictable offense...even the greatest PG in the game is being taken out of the series by their defensively-isolationist gameplan where they swarm CP3 off the pick & roll to get the ball out of his hands and make someone else beat them. The only teams that have a chance to slow the Spurs are OKC and Miami at full strength...both have 3 guys who can go off for 30 on any given night so the Spurs can't make any 1 guy the focal point of their defense. I wanna see the WCF start already cuz the Spurs haven't been remotely challenged yet and have just been on a tear for the past 20 games or so.

Spurs will be the 2012 Champions. If I would bet 100,000 dollars, I would put my bet on the Spurs.

Fuck whats wrong with this Lakers team? They keep giving games away.

Its over for them...

[FAH1223]

You can't give away games in the playoffs
San Antonio will win it all.

Fixed.

Memphis cant beat the Spurs though, and the Spurs can beat both teams IMO. If the Grizz play the Thunder in the second round I can see a Spurs Grizz conf finals with the Spurs making the finals.

Parker, Timmy D, Manu all healthy and they are deeper this year. Show me a squad that's finished with the top seed in consecutive years and lost early both times. It aint like they're the Suns and cant play D or something. The 3's will fall this year.

Miami wins and series is tied 2-2. I have a feeling the Pacers come back in Game 5 and correct their stupid mistakes they made in the 2nd half. Hibbert also needs to stay out of foul trouble. Pacers are +30 with him on the floor and -17 when he is off.

Lebrons the most villified player in nba history. He literily has to go ape every single night for Miami to win. The guy has a HISTORIC game 40 pts 18 boards 9 assists and got wade going, yet He gets no love or respect. Ppl expect this from Him every night. Dumb ass Skip Bayless will call Him 'robin' tommorow.

He isn't going to have 2000 Shaq numbers or 1961 Elgin Baylor numbers again in this series

Indiana shot too many 3s in the 1st when they should have attacked the rim and get to the line. Hibbert got in a little bit of foul trouble. If Hibbert stays on the floor and West gets double digit shot attempts they will win.

Plus, they have lead Miami majority of the time in Games 1 and 2 in MIA. So it can be done again.
