Yeah, NBA is going to get what it wants. Ind/Mia and SA/OKC

Oh please....Washington is going to lose their series because they weren't ready to win. They have played like crap for the most part aside from game 1. John Wall either has hit a wall or just doesn't know what to do against a good defense.

John Wall was poked in the eye early in game 3 and can't see. His vision is still blurred. People are criticizing him passing up an open 3 (with blurred vision) for an open 3 from Beal (much superior shooter).

Wizards choked in the 3rd quarter, but came out playing well in the 4. They did a good job attacking the basket. Then, all of a sudden with 5 minutes left, the refs swallow the whistle and allow Hibbert to hack the **** out of every player driving to the basket without calling anything. Obviously Wizards have a lot of blame on themselves, but allowing free reign on the defense doesn't help.

The THunder must not know how to finish a game.
 
thethe, what are the Thunder going to do without Ibaka in game 6? I guess they just rotate Perkins/Adams/Collison or do they just go small?

Is he going to be suspended?

That was embarassing. I will take solace in the fact that we dominated that game for the majority and just had a huge brain fart. Thunder are the better team and if they don't win its an even bigger embarassment.

Did you see the Memphis/OKC series? The refs are going to allow more physical play in the playoffs. Your team has to play through it. Washington has had a great year and they are really young with their core. THey will be back but they just weren't ready to win this year.

Physical play is fine. Hacking guys that drive the lane isn't "physical play."
 
Punches are automatic suspensions, right?

To the face absolutely. I can see an argument either way for Ibaka. Griffin is also doing a lot of dirty things. If you notice he continually pulls people to the floor to make it look like a foul. Blake is going to end up hurting someone on that.
 
Nets hanging in against Miami. Is there anything more lame than a double technical foul? Also James gets away with such cheap shots and never gets called.
 
"Magic Johnson, what has he done? He's got AIDS!"

Keep talking, Don. If you could just have a chance to explain yourself...
 
That's every star in the game. Welcome to the NBA.

More like thats what every star gets in every professional league.

You don't think Barry Bonds got favorable ball/strike calls?
How about how protected Brady/Manning are?
What about how Crosby is allowed to do whatever he wants on the ice?

It happens in every league. Its hysterical that the NBA is the one that gets criticized the most for it.
 
Toward's the end of Bond's career if you didn't throw a perfect pitch he wasn't going to swing.

Never seen a hitter command the strikezone like that before. Would've loved to have seen 2012 Craig Kimbrel against 2001-2004 Bonds.
