2010-2011 NBA thread: There's No Crying in Basketball

[Gotham Knight]

And the Atlanta Hawks are down by 22 to the Wizards. Wow, that first round series between the Hawks and Magic is going to be so good.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

Gotham Knight is right!

cept for the "tying them in wins part

 

[Gotham Knight]

Looks like we'll get our first look at the "new" Cetics against the Miami Heat. It should be interesting since one of the huge reasons that I and a lot of other people picked the Celtics at the beginning of the season to get out of the Eastern Conference, was because of their size. And without a healthy Shaq, Jermaine O'Neal and the loss of a lot of their backup big men due to their trades, I want to see how they perform against the Heat this time around.

Big games today. Looking forward to it.

Just have to state that the Knicks need a new head coach. Mike Antoni makes the most bone head decisions ever. Just saying.

surprised magic playing well without D-Howard

 

[Ghostvirus]

Wow. Orlado literally lives & dies by the 3.

So how long into the playoffs before Howards inability to control his emotions cost his team?

 

[Anubis]

Well, they did pretty well without him.

 

[Bob ROARman!]

I don't think the suspensions from technicals follow into the postseason.

 

[Anubis]

That's what Hubie Brown said.

 

[Ghostvirus]

I could have swore that a player a few years back got in tech trouble in the playoffs.

If that is the case then this whole tech punishment is pretty much pointless.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Perkins. It's cut from 17 to 7 in the playoffs.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Ooooh, well shucks.

 

[Ghostvirus]

A flagarant foul!! Really!!! F**king really!!!

 

[Ghostvirus]

Wow, that was a crap load of moisture that came out of Bosh's mouth.

 

[Gotham Knight]

It goes without saying how impressive D-Rose was. But I also think there should be a lot of credit given to the Magic that were playing without Howard, and still played the Bulls that good. Almost went into overtime but Jameer took to much time to release the ball.

And right now, the Heat are actually taking it to the Celtics. It's only a 10 point game, but the Heat are in control.

 

[Anubis]

Actually, I don't really give the Magic that much credit for that. It was more the Bulls played like s**t than Orlando putting on a great performance.

 

[Gotham Knight]

But the Bulls shot 60% and the Magic needed 28 from Ryan Anderson just to lose by 3.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Plus Orlando did there throw up 3's & pray game. The ball was just dropping a bit in their favor.

 

[Anubis]

But the Bulls shot 60% and the Magic needed 28 from Ryan Anderson just to lose by 3.

They also didn't play defense anywhere near the level they had been playing most of the season. Ryan Anderson wouldn't have gotten 8 points, much less 28 points if the Bulls weren't dickn' around. Also they got killed on the boards. It was like they weren't even trying....and they still won. This was a mediocre performance by the Bulls,(With the exception of D.Rose).

 

[Bob ROARman!]

Yeah I agree on the shots falling part, especially those last 2 three pointers they hit (even though Janeer's didn't count). The Bulls defended both those shots as well as they could without fouling and they were both just great shots.

But the Bulls were sloppy. They may have shot 60% but they turned the ball over 20 something times. Rose took over as usual to seal the win. That's not a win without Rose. Noah is still obviously hurting as well.

 

[Gotham Knight]

This game between the Heat and Celtics is very intense. It feels a lot like a playoff game.

It definitely seems that Ainge pulled a Krause, & prematurely blew up the chemistry of Boston.

If there is a lock-out. I would assume that this might be the last run for this Celtics team.

There have been rumors that he gave up on this season, because he believes that they can get Dwight Howard as a free agent. Still was a horrible move.

Perk would have been got at the end of this season anyway they weren't going to give him the money he wanted
