Joakim Noah belongs in the WNBA, his shooting form and dribbling tells the story. I got a headache from laughing at this guy already.

Yea, but every basketball fan who knows anything about the NBA would love to have him on their team. I can't stand him, but would love to have a guy like him on the Blazers.

Every team needs a player LIKE him, yes. But you'll never see me give him any love lol

Just got home and saw the Nazr/LeBron shove. Bron Bron is such a flopping padussy.

This Game is nuts.

Nate Robinson literally swatted Lebron!

That was just a really stupid exchange between the 2 of them. Mohammed put a little extra into that foul, it was a good foul, gotta do that when someone is running open to the hoop, but he put a little stank on the contact, LeBron over reacted and Mohammed took it to another level.

I see nothing wrong with Mohammed getting the boot from that. I may be biased though.

This is hysterical #TrollinAndRollin

Come on Memphis! I so badly want them to win this game and series.

Grizzlies!!!!!!!!

Thunder just aren't good enough without Westbrook. Grizzlies are always a matchup nightmare for them, but without Russ it's an impossible task.

Memphis about to go up 2-1 against the Thunder. Suck on that OKC! The curse continues.

I'm surprised KD choked at the line of all places.

How stupid is the scheduling this round?

The Knicks - Pacers don't play again now until Tuesday, meaning they will have literally played 1 game in the span of a week. Really?

I'm saying Memphis makes it out of the west, in an upset.

Miami and Memphis moving on. I'm two steps closer to looking like a genius!

Good job, J.

Chill

The Thunder deserve to lose after trading Harden for what will amount to basically nothing.

I said it was a terrible trade when it happened, and it's still a terrible trade now for OKC.

Daryl Morey torched Sam Presti in that trade.

I'm glad they traded Harden because I always liked the way he played but never got to root for him since he played for OKC. Guy's seriously an assassin.

Am I crazy for thinking Memphis would have a somewhat decent chance if the make it to the finals against Miami?

If they let Lebron do his thing, just focus on him trying not to be too much of a playmaker, Conley & Gasol should be able to do whatever they want vs Chalmers & Bridman, Tony Allen should totally shut down Wade - especially if he is still injured - and just get Z-Bo to be real physical and beat up Bosh scaring him off the court???

Or am I just delusional and want the Heat to lose too badly?

Your not, Memphis always plays Miami well, even beat the crap out 'em early in the year.

We have a lottery pick from toronto this year, another first rounder from Houston this year and our natural first rounder, also another first from houston next year. Plus Jeremy Lamb, and Martin produces fairly well most of the season. That, and we couldn't give Harden what he wanted and deserved. I think we'll be fine. Thanks for your concern, though.

I love Memphis. I dig ZBo's "old man game" and Marc Sikma (Gasol). But, now I want the Spurs to make it to the Finals, simply because I believe they'd have a shot against the Heat.

San Antonio found 2009, and somehow added more long and athletic players..it may just work.

Can't even root for the spurs

I felt the same way. I think I'm getting old or something.

I genuinely think the Spurs could beat the Heat. As much as I like the Grizzlies and think watching them is fun, I think the Spurs are gonna roll this series in 4 or 5, and I think that the Pacers will push the Heat to 6 or possibly even 7 games, giving the Spurs a decided advantage.

Going to be interesting.

Agreed, the Spurs will roll the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies offense matches up perfectly with what San Antonio can do; man up from the halfcourt line to the hoop. You cant win against San Antonio methodically working the ball down court. It's just a REALLY bad match-up for the Grizzlies.

The Heat play in between fast-break and halfcourt, so San Antonio will be in it. Also, the Heat will always be succeptable to good PG and big man play. Duncan's the most boring, yet efficient offensive big man, ever. He can out play Bosh, even though I Bosh is hugely underrated. OUtside of Duncan, everyone on San Antonio is apparently at least 6'9", with wigspan and defensive intensity.

I SHOULD root for Memphis so the Heat can roll 'em, and Stern doesn't get great ratings. But, what else would I watch? The Mariners? Reality TV like all you girls?

I don't think the Heat have a weakness for the Spurs to actually exploit, they may have some soft spots.

But they got one man that just makes none of it matter... You know his name and it isn't Michael Doleac...

We get it Throwdown, Juwuan Howard is your NBA Josh Portis. But, do actually think Howard will play much?

Sharkhawk is Doleac, true bill.

You don't know throw like I know throw. He and I talk on facebook all the time. He's referring to Udonis Haslem.

Both wrong, Jarvis Varnado!

Dude was a blocking machine at Mississippi State though awhile back.

Game 1's fricking great, old-school, have an enforcer on the roster, playoff basketball. Very physical. I wish this type of hoops was allowed more.

It wasn't THAT long ago every team had an enforcer, was it?

PAUL GEORGE HOW DO YOU DO!!!

Those last couple defensive stands by the Pacers were some of the worst. You know LeBron is cutting but no help? Really?

You can blame that squarely on Vogel. Hibbert on the bench for each of those plays.

Rings for Ray & Rashard!!! Lets goooooo!

I was gonna ask about that. So he wasn't fouled out then? Why take your best defender in the paint if he's available!!!!! Really Hill and George is supposed to stop LBJ one on one?

Well that's definitely gonna lead to an interesting debate over the next couple of days.

I definitely am in the camp thinking that Hibbery should have been on the floor, was screaming at my TV when he was taken off. Guy can make even Lebron change his shots when driving.

OH MY GOD PAUL GEORGE...

I don't think I've ever seen such a self-defeating sloppy bunch as this Pacers. They seem to constantly try to give the game away.

Yeah, I think its youth. But, scary thing with youth, once you grow there's no looking back.

Yeah, true. Kind of like Memphis

Heat look like '96 Bulls tonight. Incredible.

pehawk wrote:Heat look like '96 Bulls tonight. Incredible.

Yup. Had to figure one of these dominant blowout games was coming.

Heat also look like the modern day Spurs tonight. Flops Galore!

They could hang with Dream Team tonight.

Rashard got a point, yesssss

Not trying to pat myself on the back, but at my friends house Friday after the Heat loss I told him the Heat were going to blow them out.

and well... here we are

That being said, when we get a team in Seattle, if they're not built in the Pacers likeness I'm gonna be one angry man.

So, if I shove someone to the floor, unprovoked, its a double technical. Good to know, NBA!

They're KINDA letting them play 80's-90's ball, a bit.

D-Wades trying to throw the game out there

Pacers just gotta shrug and admit defeat if Haslem's hitting 18' jumpers. Whatcanyado?
