Official 2014 NBA Playoffs thread

Welp..... Between the referees and the coaching and Donald Sterling I've had about enough of the NBA for a month or so.

Just give Miami the title and let's start football season so the Texans can piss me off even more

2 FUCKING games man In one series! 2 times we get fucked..... I mean seriously what are these refs looking at?

But this skinny geek bitch of a commissioner's number one priority is making the NCAA more money by raising the age limit to enter the NBA.

Never mind the poor officiating.... Oh no..... Let's continue to feed the multi billion dollar a year behemoth that is the NCAA and say we're doing it to better our product.

I had a huge problem with that as well

That's your #1 concern?

All the shit that you could focus on such as officiating like you said and he says that bullshit

I wonder if the league will issue another apology and admit they were wrong again and that the officials made a mistake? Just like they did in that other game where the gave Howard that foul then came back and said that it should have been called on Portland and Howard should have been shooting 2 free throws?

Boy that will make me feel better :hmm:

Damn man I had the Rockets in the Finals, this shit done fucked my bracket all the way up. :smh:

I ain't have them niggas in the finals

Between Harden doing disappearing acts, Beverley being a straight up bum and Howard not serious about improving his game this is what u get.
 
Actually your wrong, the baseline ref had already taking off down the floor anticipating the break away by Lin, which is why you don't see him anywhere in the gif clip.

:lol: dude don't know the difference between SIDELINE and BASELINE....

watch that gif again man

When Mo Williams knocks the ball away you see the official in the background TWICE on the BASELINE. Then when he takes the shot the SIDELINE official is coming back into the picture. The sideline official wasn't in the picture because he anticipated the fast break going the other way (that's an officiating no no, anticipating ANYTHING) and he has to get out the way of the play. That's why he's seen in the second part of that gif running back into position.

Dwight's going out in the first round again....

Kick rocks bitch

I'm a defender of his game always have been but this fact does bring a smile to my face cuz I wanted him in Dallas

Ain't none of the players who spurned us did any better than we have since

Should have linked up
 
real talk...call me crazy...I don t see how...but I would not be shocked if Houston came back and won this series.....

the games have been too close....
 
dwight hasn't been the problem on this team

im not a defender of him but dude put in all of the work on both sides of the ball every single game.

them bums around him are letting him down.
 
it looks bleak for my rockets, but rockets in seven...

I still believe!!!!!!!!

If we make the adjustments:

1.stop playing hero ball.
2.stop standing around watching harden and howard play offense.
3.Cut out some brain farts.
4.Move without the basketball, attack the rim.
5.don't let the refs steal a game from you.
6.DOUBLE TEAM LILLIARD BECAUSE PAT BEV has been getting roasted throughout the series.
7.harden needs to play better defense.

we should be good.

The Rockets could be up easily 3-1 this series but poor execution at the end of games have bit them in the ass. McHale is as confused as the players on what to do at the end of games.

If they want to have have any chance of making this a series again and winning (which I doubt), here's what they have to do;

DO NOT PLAY LIN IN THE 4th quarter or closing moments of the game.

Put Parsons on Mathews for the majority of the game.

Do more pick & rolls with Harden & Howard in the 4th to prevent mismatches, posting up Howard late in games, plays right into the Blazers hand.

Daniels need to take Lin's minutes, hes the best shooter right now and draws more attention from the Blazers.

The Rockets will probably win Wednesday but I don't see them winning 2 more games.

Dwight is the only person who's hands are clean IMO.

dude has absolutely balled out this series.....

you do know that lin helped win game 3 for us.

lin kept us close in game 1 but you do know harden lost game 1 and 2 singlehandedly.

if you want to throw players under the bus i throw harden under there first.

See this is where you have to take the lesser of two evils. Who would you rather have on the court in the 4th if you could only choose one, Lin or Harden?

I'm not saying Harden doesn't deserve criticism but I trust him more in the 4th quarter than Lin. Lin is not knocking down clutch shots like Daniels and I cringe every time he dribbles because there's a 50/50 chance he'll get ripped or make a dum play.

All I'm saying is that I don't like it when McHale plays both Lin and Harden together to close out the games in the series, it's not working. I rather see Daniels, Beverly, and Harden as the 3 guard line up. I don't trust Lin in the 4th quarter or late in games.

spamming Portland with pick and rolls for the entire game with subtle variants should be elementary

but Houston just cant get away from this sickening reliance on threes when your guys are not even 40% 3pt shooters.

Many times the game was 2 points apart but Houston just wasnt willing to grind it out one possesion at a time..always going for a desperation three ball or iso.

Not setting good screens so you can get in the paint, nothing

You guys held double digit leads in every game but cant put 4 defensive stops in a row..

I hope they crucify this team down in houston because then maybe these dudes might learn

Real talk Llano....McHale puts Lin in because he can kind of get away with him at the 2 and sometimes he ends up playing against the 3.....becaue Lin is not a short PG.....

but....

I agree in the clutch he is 50/50.....in game 3 he picked up and found Daniels....

in the past game he got the rebound....but he should have either called time out or something else.....

also...Lin is a good FT shooter so if the other team has to foul McHale benefits...
 
The Pacers are about to lose again :smh:

What happen to these dudes on defense

You was giving them ninja props the first half of the season lmaoo

Mofos benefited from the easiest schedule ever..

Them dudes are bums

The 30/30 on them will be epic
 
Damn man the Pacers are getting that work. I'm on my phone looking at the score can't believing this shit!!!

At home too :lol:
 
LeBron is putting on a clinic on how to set up your players with pinpoint smart passes..

I gotta give LeBron credit for one thing that a Paul George or a Melo,a Harden will never have...and that is a superior basketball IQ.

I doubt now,he would ever shoot a 6-29 from the floor....and have 1 assist.
