That was brutal…
Go Indy! They've at least shown they can make it a series.

crazy game. paul george combined some incredible play with a few lapses. the pacers just couldn't afford him to make any mistakes down the stretch.
vogel has done a really fine job but he outcoached himself down the stretch.
that memphis/san antonio game the other night was pretty wild, too. it took hollins too long to stop playing TA and prince together. hopefully he adjusts his substitutions/lineups going forward cause memphis has no shot of winning otherwise. even with adjustments, memphis has little room for error. they just don't have enough good players. gasol, z-bo and conley ALL have to play good games, bayless and pondexter have to hit some 3s, darrel arthur has to play good pick-and-roll defense and hit the midrange shots he gets. san antonio can survive an off game from one or even two of their best 3 players.

Funny how close the Pacers are to a 2-0 lead…

And to your previous insights, jackie17, you're absolutely right about MEM's depth. That's why their starters have to play such big minutes. They just can't score without them. I think they're really regretting that Rudy Gay trade, right now.
The Spurs, on the other hand, have such an efficient offensive system that they can plug in and carry on. It also helps that Parker and Ginobli work as well together as they do independently. Splitter and Duncan are just so solid on BOTH ends of the court, too.
If MIA ends up pulling this thing out (which I still think they will), the Finals is shaping up to be an epic series.

my favorite development of the playoffs is the combination of the spurs health/level of play ascending as the playoffs progress and the heat actually showing some vulnerability.
just got done watching the heat dismantle the pacers. what a clinic in offensive efficiency and solid D. even with that great performance, i can conceive of the spurs beating the heat in the finals. while i wouldn't put the odds very high in this happening, the odds are much higher than a month ago.
it would be great to see duncan and pop win one more championship to cap off one of the greatest runs in history.

My good buddy is a neurosurgeon at the Cleveland clinic and lives right down the road from lebron. Here is a picture of his gate. The gate probably costs more than all our homes put together
As I'm sure you know, Cuyahoga county has been a buzz since the kings announcement to return to his homeland.

Ha!!! I have no Lebron hate. He wanted a ring and Cleveland wasn't the place he was going to get it. He made a smart choice to go to a team where he would accomplish that goal and He accomplished it. now he is back. I watched lebron play his senior year state championship game years ago. The score was something ridiculous like 120 to 43 or something.
-
I'm happy Lebron has went 'home' because if he wants to be in the realm of GOAT then he needs a ring there.
I'm a casual fan from other side of the pond so pretty much a layman but follow the Warriors pretty hard, hoping a deal gets worked out for Love that doesn't mean we lose Klay!!

It's up to Bronbron. He has to pick him over Wiggins.
-
bronbron, hahahahahahahaha
like hotlanta, hahaahaha
the way they burned his jerseys (guess i could kind get over the fans being pissed), but that open letter from dan would have been hard to get over.
i give mr. james credit but some of it makes me scratch my head a bit & has me waiting to see what else he has up his sleeve. i'm actually surprised there hasn't been much talk about his timing to leave. if the heat beat the spurs would he still have made this move?
i'll be watching to see what happens just cause i'm curious
