2014 NBA Playoffs Thread

I think tonight will be close, but I think the Spurs can keep it close and win it by a couple. And now that I've said that, they will lose by 40.

 

I think we'll finally get a competitive game.

MIAMI -- The Heat could be short-handed when they attempt to close out the Eastern Conference finals in Game 5 on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.

Top reserves Chris Andersen and Ray Allen have both received extensive treatment for hip and thigh injuries, and their status for Game 5 remained in question as the team prepared to fly to Indiana late Tuesday afternoon.

Andersen, who bruised his thigh in a collision with teammate Dwyane Wade in the Heat's Game 3 win Saturday, sat out Monday's 102-90 victory as Miami took a 3-1 series lead over the Pacers. Allen bruised his hip and thigh as he attempted to run through a screen in the second half of Monday's win.

Both Andersen and Allen finished the games despite their injuries.

 

Maybe that's why Ray Allen was ice cold in the 4th. Both are very important pieces next round.

 

Perkins drives me crazy.

 

Fucking damnit. We just can not get a fucking break this whole series. We finally appear to be healthy and Reggie goes down. Nobody else ever has injuries it seems like.

 

With the amount of pain he was in I'm guessing a ligament

 

Holmes had a lisfranc, rare midfoot injury, this just looked like he twisted his ankle badly

 

Lamb is a good player, I like him

 

Durant blatantly trips Mills, Crawford calls the foul on Lamb who wasn't even near the play

 

OKC is so boss with Ibaka back!!

Both of these teams would spank Miami

 

He is such a delusional ref. I'd rather have anybody else officiating.

 

Yeah, Spurs are getting smoked, so much for a competitive game.

 

Spurs are a great team in this here playoffs. I expect them to bounce back and win tonights game.

 

they did eventually fix the Durant foul

sometimes the ref calls it on the wrong guy but they often fix it later

Damn, I was hoping for a good game. Maybe SA can make a run.

 

Barkley: "every time I see that guy, he playing with animals. He don't have no human friends?"

referring to Danny Green. haha

 

There's not going to be a run, Spurs can't match their intensity tonight
