Wow, the two series are playing out the same. Much respect for Boston, the old guys are doing what the Spurs can't seem to do. Then again, maybe OKC is a better team than the Heat.
I love my Celtics, but I still cannot believe they're still in this. I'd be pretty embarrassed if the C's actually pull this series off... If they go on to beat OKC? Again, I love 'em, but yeah, their chances with a team of OKC's caliber at this point? Not so much really. Who knows? It would be some kind of intense to see the C's face off against Kendrick. Put away those walkers and cortisone shots Celtics, you've got games to win! lmfao DBC
Miami's D for the first 3 1/2 periods was unbelievable. They didn't let the Celtics anywhere near the paint.
The C's ended up winning on 41% shooting? Ouch. Again, feeling hopeful, but wow, if this ends in Boston? Wow. DBC
At the risk of starting a trash-talk BS-fest (Oh, how exciting.), isn't this becoming kind of a pattern for him? Been reading a bunch today about the game, and it all sounds so familiar... DBC
I don't care for LeBron, he has no class IMO. And yes this does seem to be a pattern for him. He plays 3 1/2, then fizzles out. I don't know if he does that because he doesn't care, or what. They're playing they did last year against Dallas.
I thought he started to fizzle out in the whole second half. After shooting 7-9 in the first half, I remember the commentator saying he was shooting 1-9 (or something like that) in the second half.
I used to live in Ohio and I hated lebron for leaving, no class as you said, and now I live in florida(go figure) but I agree he is always lackluster late but I think it's funny he scores 30 a night and he gets all the blame, heat played decent last night Boston just played better.
Good job OKC, I'm a pretty big Spurs fan, but the better team won. Not to mention they seem like a classy team, unlike the Heat or the Lakers have shown themselves to be so it's hard not to feel good for them, even in defeat. They really are impressive and the team to beat IMO no matter if they face the Celtics or the Heat. Maybe next year Spurs, we need younger talent though.
Sorry to see the Spurs go down, especially after the year they've had. It would have been great for TD to at least get a shot at one more. I've admired the Spurs and their devotion to pure basketball and class ever since the General played for 'em, but yeah, I'm not sure I'd want to be Boston or Miami at this point... OKC is gaining the post-season experience they need to finish the job, and looking at the two teams that might face them, the old, beat up/new, relatively inexperienced C's or whoever Miami is starting these days... Oh boy, it has the potential to be brutal. DBC
OKC is one killer team. Not much else to say. It's their year. I'd much rather see them play Miami in the finals though.
