~*~*~*~ 2014 NBA Playoffs: Road to the Championship ~*~*~*~

[MediaArtist]

Spurs have been a legit threat for over decade. Even prime kobe and crew with 5 rings had trouble with the spurs all these years. They play the best half court ball in the league.

So stoked about about the Clippers/ Warriors match up today. Btw, what's wrong with NBA league pass right now?

[JohnSprm69]

raptors should have taken care of the ball


clips vs warriors is looking good..... warriors look nervous

[Nkc]

Man I hate that I have to stay up till 3:30am to watch these games

what do you mean? you guys lost already, wake up son



this clips/warriors game is turning out really good

[MediaArtist]

Clippers - Warriors is a foul fest. Igoudala, Dubs best perimeter defender had 4 fouls in the first half. Griffin had 3 and only played 4 minutes!

[Efini]

yea pretty weird how the first half played out. lots of dumb fouls too. tied up at half but im sure the second half is gonna be good. both teams have pretty long benches. i was expecting the clips to be ahead though.

edit: igodala with 5 now. he is gonna be sitting....

[JohnSprm69]

that missed foul call really did a number to the clippers



paul missing both free throws SMH!!!!!!

[JohnSprm69]

how about them hawks putting a hurting on the pacers


funny how all the teams that've won today are a lower seed than the team they beat

[TXSTYLE]

Wow... Great games thus far!!! Can anyone win @ HOME?

Ya know.... I like Griff. But THIS was a straight up BITCH move by him: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/blake-g...233029366.html

Best watch out for the Wiz

[TrevorM3]

aha that dude on the pacers was heateddddd. threw his cup down and splashed everyone

[Inspired]

The Pacers are in trouble. Getting blown out by the 8th seed at home.

Fokin Mavs... Had that win in their grasp!

You can't go 0-13 in the final 4min abd hope to win.... Unless you're up by 30

[JohnSprm69]

watching my Heat nonchalantly whoop the cats while the pacers got whooped last night is priceless, its a good sunday in all the sense of the word.

im dying to see the bulls play.


goooo heat

I'm surprised how well the Mavs played the whole game minus the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter.

I agree bro. They played MUCH better or should I say matched up MUCH better than I ever expected! I missed the entire game. How come Dalembert wasn't playing in the 4th? Mavs got crushed in the paint in the 4th

Dalembert hasn't been playing in the 4th in the last 10-15 games or so of the season. Rick Carlisle has been using Brandon Wright at the end of games as he's been playing much better than Dalembert and is more versatile. Wright is more athletic, better off the pick and roll, and has a really good synergy with Vince Carter.

But the playoffs are about matchups and as the Spurs are a much slower team, the Mavs may need the slight size advantage and conventional Center spot Dalembert provides. But I still personally prefer Brandon Wright closing games. Dalembert is so frustrating to watch at times, just like Erick Dampier was a few years ago.
