Kenny chuck magic :lol

[Reck]

Just cant get into any of these games in the east.

[Latarian Milton]

we're only losing 2 games in a total for the rest of playoffs, championship is a muthafucking locked thing for us this year tbh

[mavsfan1000]

Celtics are a fucking boring team.

[LiamNeeson'shero]

mike miller > ray allen

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Miami is just too good. Mike Miller isn't going anywhere this offseason. He is staying in Miami for the dynasty.

[LkrFan]

LnG - where you at bruh? :downspin:

[Venti Quattro]

This game is so boring that Miami needs to blow Boston out for it to be watchable.

[Josepatches_]

Haters: "Uhmm...Miami could lose with X"

then Miami destroy X

Haters: "X suck,East suck"

[100%duncan]

Damn. Boston is so ugly to watch.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Boston is outclassed

Miami should give Derick rose's ACL its own championship ring if they win the title this year

[Reck]

Haters: "Uhmm...Miami could lose with X"

The east does suck.

Single 1 game where an east game has been watchable.

It has nothing to do with the Heat, the East playoffs have just sucked PERIod.

[LiamNeeson'shero]

holy crap tyrone lue is a coach?

[Capt Bringdown]

Well I never:

Rajon Rondo is having one of the best postseasons in NBA history. He's averaging at least 15 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists. Only 2 other players in NBA history have done it... Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson. Johnson actually managed to produce EIGHT of these seasons in the playoffs... the last time coming in 1990-91.

:lol supporting gangbangers

[Killakobe81]

great jump hook by James. Best post move he has. It looks fluid, solid foot-work good elevation. I think his improvement on the block has been greatly exaggerated but if he masters that and a dropstep he doesnt need much else the guy is a beast ...

[Capt Bringdown]

Greg Stiemsma?

[resistanze]

:lmao Jesus

[100%duncan]

Really Allen? God, this guy is awful.

Someone needs to take Allen out back and put him down. Talk about TOSB ...

[LiamNeeson'shero]

oh please doc get tossed so tyrone lue can coach

[chunticakes]

lol refs wtf. :lmao

[lurker]

lol getting a tech for saying "c'mon."

[Venti Quattro]

Jesus is so bad lol. 3/7 from the line ain't going to cut it.

[ElNono]

You would think Miami doesn't need that kind of help from the league...

[NRHector]

Stern doing his magic

[Cry Havoc]

:lol Celtics meltdown

They're melting down and trailing you by 5. That's pretty sad for the Heat TBH, especially when you have 8 fucking players on the floor.

[SpursIndonesia]

:lol Miami, outside their Superstars individual greatness in offense, they simply have nothing resembling a team/motion offense.

As bad as B:lolst:loln play, Miami only has 5 points lead to show for that ?? :lol

Remaining consistent so in the finals it's not painfully obvious...

Surprised Doc didn't get a tech for laughing.

[ElNono]

Heat wins this game by 1 or 2, and everyone is going to be talking about those techs :lol

[LkrFan]

Remaining consistent so in the finals it's not painfully obvious...

As bad as Boston was playing in the 1st quarter, it's a 2-point game. Your boys are pathetic. No way to :downspin: that shit either. :lol

[Ace]

Surprised Doc didn't get a tech for laughing.

Blown call by the ref's imo...

Miami is still playing, Lakers out the second round for the second year in a roll... :downspin:

[LkrFan]

EDIT: tie game (:lmao) at the half. What type of adjustments do you guys think the refs will make in the 2nd half tbh? :lol

[Ikstomi]

refs :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Ray should just sit this one out. The poor guy its seriously enbarrassing himself.

We've already got Avery out... if we lose Ray too, we're down to Pietrus and Sasha.

[LkrFan]

Miami is still playing, Lakers out the second round for the second year in a roll... :downspin:

Like the Hype, your grammar is pathetic! :rollin

And what the Lakers have to do with your boys shitting the bed like this? It should be no less than a 25 point lead right now. But nooo... y'all have to make it interesting. The Hype are Pathetic. :lmao

[LnGrrrR]

Someone needs to take Allen out back and put him down. Talk about TOSB ...

He is playing with bone spurs. That must be painful as fuck, especially for Ray's game, where he usually runs around 10 screens before he takes a 3.

[KD4MVP]

How is this game only within 2 despite it being 8 on 5.

LOL at the T's on Ray/Doc.

[LnGrrrR]

How is the game tied now? :lmao

[LiamNeeson'shero]

how is it tied

[KD4MVP]

2-point Miami lead at the half. What type of adjustments do you guys think the refs will make in the 2nd half tbh? :lol

If Boston gets a lead, refs will take control and get 2 quick calls and get PP/KG in foul trouble.

[KD4MVP]

They took away a basket, lol...

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Boston is only in the ECFs because the refs took a game away from Atlanta on that inbounds play, yet there are the usual suspects complaining about officiating against them:lol..

[Reck]

How is the game tied now? :lmao

Tied game?

And just about when I was going to watch some Netflix too. :lol

I'm going to stick around for another qt and see where this leads.

Oh shit! I have to edit my post! BRB...:lol

[Killakobe81]

He is playing with bone spurs. That must be painful as fuck, especially for Ray's game, where he usually runs around 10 screens before he takes a 3.

I give him credit for toughing it out especially on defense, but FT's are shot with knees, arm and wrist. Miller is banging in 3's with various injuries. no excuses. But you have to be proud of their effort, Lngrr.

Oh and Happy Memorial Day, we appreciate your service.:toast

[Capt Bringdown]

Pro Wrestling ain't got nothing on this east coast stink/hype ball.

[Killakobe81]

Come on this is the Celts and the Heat. Heat get bailout calls and the Celts much like the Lakers, have had plenty of ref calls over the years. Plus, the Celts set illegal screens all day. No one should whine about refs.

[LnGrrrR]

:lol Boston is only in the ECFs because the refs took a game away from Atlanta on that inbounds play, yet there are the usual suspects complaining about officiating against them:lol..

That's funny, I'm watching your coach on TV right now crying like a bitch over a foul.

[LnGrrrR]

Well, if they keep hitting threes this will be a blowout. Rondo needs to get some good looks for players, like that last one.

ANOTHER fucking tech?

Holy shit I hope they suspend these fucking refs for the rest of the playoffs.

[lurker]

Ball don't lie.

[resistanze]

:lmao Rondo

[LnGrrrR]

Really? Reeaaalllyy? :lmao

[Reck]

LOL calling a foul 5 seconds after the fact.

Can it get more obvious? rofl

LeHype just knocked the shit out of Rondo. No foul.

LeHype leaned into Pietris. Foul!

:lmao

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Rondo looks so overrated right now
Jason Terry would look better than his ass right now

[LnGrrrR]

Doc needs to rest Pierce, though we'll soon be at the point where it doesn't matter.

[Brazil]

Rondo has been freaking awful this game

[resistanze]

Pierce needs to go to the glue factory. Damn he's tired.

[NRHector]

Celtics can still win it, there's still 4th quarter left

[gaKNOW!blee]

Lol you guys bitching at a legit call

[Reck]

Celtics can still win it, there's still 4th quarter left

:lol

[ElNono]

Chalmers is pretty bad... is he the starting PG?

[LnGrrrR]

Those blocks have Rondo afraid to penetrate, which is screwing up the C's spacing.

[LnGrrrR]

lol Dooling

Unless the C's get inspired, I don't see them winning this one.

[LnGrrrR]

Airball city. Well, this game is over.

[Kai]

Celtics don't seem like they are gonna be able to bring it the whole series.

LOL at these refs.

3 or all of the T's were laughable.

Miami mobs someone on Boston, no foul, Boston breathes on Miami, foul.

And this has to be the easiest path to the Finals possibly ever.

Would be like Dirk, Bynum, and Parker all going down in the West.

[100%duncan]

:lolBass:lol

[LnGrrrR]

Damn announcer jinx. Again, just hoping we can take this series to 6 games. It will be gravy if we take one at Miami.

Wow the Celtics suck
Letting a small point guard get offensive rebounds

Miami toying with the C's. Must be painful if your a Celtics fan.

[LnGrrrR]

This game is depressing the shit outta me. :lol Wade/Bron can't miss, and Celtics getting blocked all over the place, and if they're not getting blocked they're airballing.

look at that fag lebron lol

[100%duncan]

Wtf was Bron saying? :lol

[Josepatches_]

Lol at OKC's fan complaining about refs

[Reck]

Ok guys, heres a serious question...

Do these Heat players think they can put up 85 points and think it will be enough to beat either OKC or the Spurs?

Been watching them and they have a hell of a time putting 90 points on the board on a given game.

[Richie]

Celtics should be embarrassed the number of offensive boards they've given up to a small Miami team

[NRHector]

there's a lot of time left Celtics can still win it

Damn! Ha, Heat fans leaving as early as they arrive late.

Battier banking shots... :lol

Stop complaining about the refs. They did not force Boston to shoot 38 percent from the field and barely above 50 percent from the line.

[DAF86]

Damn! Ha, Heat fans leaving as early as they arrive late.

That's not the worst thing. I don't think I have ever heard a least noisy crowd in a playoffs game before.

[NRHector]

how many steps does Lebron take between dribles?

[LnGrrrR]

Stop complaining about the refs. They did not force Boston to shoot 38 percent from the field and barely above 50 percent from the line.

Agreed. The techs were bullshit, but that wasn't the reason the C's lost. They lost because Rondo stopped penetrating because he was afraid of getting blocked. They lost because they airballed a ton. They lost because they stopped rotating on D. They lost because of a whole bunch of reasons that weren't the "refs".

[Reck]

It's all they got tbh...

Answer my question Ace.

Been watching them and they have a hell of a time putting 90 points on the board on a given game.

Last 4 games of Miami: 101, 115, 105, 93. That's an average of over 100.0 per game. They will certainly have no problem scoring over 85 points, if that is what you are asking.

[ElNono]

[Venti Quattro]

wait a second.. the previous 3 were against the P:lolcers... and they didn't sniff a 100 tonight...

Because they went 5-25 from three, which isn't going to happen in Game 2. They scored well above 90, and limited Boston to less than 80, which is what they are supposed to do -- win with convincing margins.

They just put 93 points up easily without Bosh and barely putting full effort. If you've been watching then you would known how Miami turns it up on D when needed. Miami is the best defensive team in the playoffs.

[KD4MVP]

Lol at OKC's fan complaining about refs

Considering last series was pretty close at least foul wise, and we got no calls yesterday, i can complain.

[djohn2oo8]

Celtics are most certainly going to get rolled.
Indeed. It's pretty sad to watch.

[DAF86]

They just put 93 points up easily without Bosh and barely putting full effort. If you've been watching then you would known how Miami turns it up on D when needed. Miami is the best defensive team in the playoffs.

They won't limit the Spurs nor Thunder to the low 90's in 4 out of 7. They will need to score 100 ish. Which I think they're capable of. But they won't win it just with defense in the finals.

[Venti Quattro]

But they won't win it just with defense in the finals.

Thanks captain obvious.

Only pussies and assholes complain

[jag]

I'm obviously biased but if I had to bet my children's lives on a Heat vs Spurs/Thunder series, I wouldn't give it a second thought. If those niggas think they're gonna get away with playing Battier at PF in the finals, then they got another thing coming.

I don't even have children... But I'd bet their pretend lives on the Spurs/Thunder

I'm not blaming the refs on that game, they got out-coached more then the refs, but there were some BS calls that went against them.

[LkrFan]

Son, thoughts?

I missed the 4th quarter... but here are my unbiased 2 cents.

- Even without Bosh, y'all should beat Boston
- Can y'all get more than 16 bench points?
- 93 points won't get it done against either SA or Thunder in the Finals

GG though son. After all, it's Boston on the tail end of an ass kicking, so I can't be too mad. Gotta finish them off though. That way, I don't have to worry about them for another 20 years. :toast

[Kai]

Miami would have won regardless, but that shit really makes you wonder what's in store for the rest of the playoffs.

[ElNono]

Boston sucks... injuries or not... they got taken to 7 game by fucking Philly... look at the boxscore... Battier the only guy in double figures outside Bron and Wade... and 10 points at that...

[ElNono]

Oh, and Battier scored 10 on 4/11 :lol

[Ace]

Wade only took 13 shots, come on Nono you can't be this simple minded. You are only focusing on scoring 100 like that's all that matters or even matters, surely you didn't just start watching basketball.

All I'm saying is that they're playing routinely against teams that have a really tough time breaking the 90 point barrier... And it isn't just against the Heat... they're just fucking handicapped offensively... I want to see Miami react to a team that will drop 100 every night on them... where are they're going to get the extra points from?

[Jacob1983]

Excellent post. I want to see the Heat play some tough competition.

Well obviously that's not going to happened until the finals but at the same time you are saying the Spurs or Thunder will drop 100 every night they haven't faced a defensive team like Miami? Using the Pacers series as an argument is weak and doesn't really show anything. If Wade has another 5 point game win or lose I will leave this site forever.

[ElNono]

The Spurs routinely waxed any East team that came to play in SA, including the Knicks and Pacers who ranked in top 5 defensive efficiency this season... they also beat Boston at TD Garden, another overrated defensive team... As a matter of fact, the top defensive teams in the west are all fishing right now...

[Josepatches_]

Miami won 98-93 vs OKC 2 months ago after lost 87-103 the week before.

So they allowed 98 points per game vs OKC in the regular season. Coming playoff time when defense is always better because refs allow more contacts I would expect 94 points per game at best from OKC.


When one team averages 105 ppg and the other one averages 90ppg but both teams have a similar win/loss record it doesn't mean their games are gonna end 105-90.
If their records are pretty similar but one team scores much more it means at the same time that team allows more points too.

At the end one team is gonna score a few more and the other one a few less.

We could remember our series Vs the Suns in 2007. We couldn't score 120 points every night but it wasn't necessary because the Suns "only" averaged 100 points per game in the series.

So they allowed 98 points per game vs OKC in the regular season. Coming playoff time when defense is always better because refs allow more contacts I would expect 94 points per game at best from OKC.


When one team averages 105 ppg and the other one averages 90ppg but both teams have a similar win/loss record it doesn't mean their games are gonna end 105-90.
If their records are pretty similar but one team scores much more it means at the same time that team allows more points too.

At the end one team is gonna score a few more and the other one a few less.

We could remember our series Vs the Suns in 2007. We couldn't score 120 points every night but it wasn't necessary because the Suns "only" averaged 100 points per game in the series.

tbh I don't put much stock into regular season results and stats, at least when the talent level is comparable. Playoff series are usually a much different story with the game-by-game adjustments designed inherently by playing the same opponent over and over. The proverbial chess match between the head coaches coaches will play a big, big part in the final two rounds of these playoffs.
