NBA Playoffs

[atlantafalcons0]

Fouls by game:

Game 3: Orl - 16 / Atl - 24

Game 2: Orl - 24 / Atl - 29

Game 1: Orl - 17 / Atl - 24

Total - Orl - 57 / Atl - 77

Orlando has had 20 more fouls go in their favor.

Call it what you want.

I didn't even watch the third game. The first two told me everything.

The Hawks don't suck.

They can't get ANY calls against the Magic.

sigh. yes, you're right, that's why this has been one of the most lopsided playoff series in the history of the NBA. same reason the magic blew them out in 3 of the 4 regular season games

wow man. if you can't admit that the magic are simply a better team, you are delusional beyond hope

edit: um of course the hawks are always going to have more fouls, they foul dwight howard on purpose very very often instead of letting him get dunks (which is a good strategy because he's bad at free throws). the announcers have talked about this constantly, and it's really obvious if you've paid any attention to the games. use your brain, dude. you just got demolished in a must-win home game and you're blaming the referees. it's getting a little bit pathetic

Celtics tie the series. What a performance by Rondo.. Unreal game put up by him today

+ 1 very well said and saves me from typing out what you just wrote so thank you

honestly atanatafalcons0 why is it so hard to admit it? i mean my team didn make the playoffs ( 76ers) and i can admit they suck and the magic are far superior than them...hell im sure the hawks players THEMSELVES wouldn be making the excuses YOU are for them. Foul calls? dwight howard is like the diesel (shaq lol) and like blanco said they will FOUL instead of giving up DUNKS. does that make sense to you? do you understand why the falcons have more fouls in the series now?

Also point out how often orlando gets in the paint and takes it to the rim....alot more often than the hawks thats for dam sure and when you take it to the rim and play around in the paint with big bodies like D howard you get fouled. PERIOD. no easy buckets means FOULS. maybe the hawks should attack the rim? or maybe they need some new players to compete on the level the magic are on.

please just admit they suck and all your opinions are statements are completely biased.

Celtics tie the series. What a performance by Rondo.. Unreal game put up by him today

As great as Rondo played...i may give the MVP of the game to tony allen..very impressive

 

[blankoblanco]

Celtics tie the series. What a performance by Rondo.. Unreal game put up by him today

yeah, absolutely incredible performance by rondo today. now i'm not sure who i'd rather play in the ECF if i'm orlando. obviously lebron is great but i don't know if the magic have anyone who can contain a PG as good as rondo. when he's on his game he is scary

 

[PC69]

Brian.. We tend to disagree only once in a while.. On your last statement.. Noooo Wayyy bro.. Allens 15 points and defense were aewsome but Rondo ran the shit out of that whole game.. Triple Double by the end of the third quarter. Gets to the rim whenever he wants and not Shaq, Lebron, or any one on Cleveland can stop him.. MVP for the game was Allen? Not hardly my man.. Rajon Rondo just had one of the greatest playoff performances of all time for a Celtic Player. I didnt say it was the best of all time but one of the best. He broke Bob Cousys assist record earlier in the series as well.. BTW Iam def not a Tony Allen hater by any means.

One last point lol.. Anyone know how many minutes Rondo was on the bench? I do.. lol..1.. Wire to Wire just about.

 

[PattyR]

well it comes down to matter of opinion i guess. Because obviously Tony allen could never have a game like Rondo did, he doesn have the talent or get the minutes. But Tonight Tony Allen had the game of his life bro, i dunno if you watch the NBA like all do during the regular seaon but i watch close to every game ( i have NBA league pass lol) and Allen has never played this good, let alone that most of his work came in the fourth quarter when the C's were struggling for points.

We could debate all night but i just think Allen was the missing piece of the puzzle tonight with pierce struggling

 

[PC69]

C's struggled in the fourth quarter? I thought they started it with a 8-0 run and forced the Cavs to burn two timeouts with a quickness.. Yes I watch a lot of NBA action and alot of the Celtics in particular. Ive been watching Tony Allen ride that pine for a while and your right he dont get the minutes. Was hard to give him minutes when we had Al Jefferson cpl years back that we were trying to develop.. Then we added 2 pieces to the big three.. I will say your right that he had the best game hes had in a C's uniform.. I just wouldnt say he was the MVP of this game because clearly Rondo pwned. Tell you what.. I love debating about how the CELTICS beat the Cavs.. You know why? Because no matter how they got it done, the result was the same.. And me likez the result lol.

I LOVE WHEN THE CAVS LOSE arty:

 

[arahel_jazz]

what do you mean? the suns/spurs play tonight at 8pm est time

It's only on TNT in the Phoenix market.
3rd quarter and Suns are leading by 10 points once again.... BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
Where's my broom?

 

[PC69]

Goddamn.. Nash gets himself a few stitches now in the locker room.. Hes got a habit of getting some cuts and bruises in the playoffs. Tough dude. Timmy just got him with a elbow to the corner of the eye on the drive to the basket

Tough cookie - Nash is. He got six stitches to his right eye.
Nothing a good striker would get in a soccer match...

Show you how tough he is - he starts the 4th quarter!


R U ORNG?

Get the broomz out.

 

[arahel_jazz]

Get the broomz out.

Tomorrow's headline:

"Suns, Nash, Eye The Western Conference Finals".


I'm telling you guys - this team is tough. I look forward to a series with the Lakers.

 

[dead spade]

lol well lets see. the cavs are up on the celtics. the lakers are up 3-0 and the hawks suck. i should have posted a prediction on the sun/spurs but forgot about them lol. yeah i don't know if the hawks should even show up the last game. just throw in the towel already. that is the most boring playoff series i have ever seen ever lol. how did they even make the playoffs? the lakers pulled off a close one. the jazz have played them close this last game. they just might get a win next game. if they do they will lose in game 5 for sure.

can you say sweep i think there are to many teams in the nba playoffs some are just not good enuogh to be in the playoffs, i know they want to get tghe endorsment money but is it enough to watch bad playoff series brtween two teams that dont match up

 

[blankoblanco]

so the magic just swept the hawks by a combined margin of 101 points, the largest 4-game margin in NBA playoff history

yeah, the refs definitely did that. atlanta got robbed! they're clearly the better team. right atlantafalcons0?

 

[jaycism]

yeah that was one of the most lopsided series i have ever seen. it looked like the hawks got into the playoffs because every other team in the NBA was disqalified lol. glad to see that series is over.

 

[Shakes]

Other then the cavs/celtics series, This round of the playoffs has really been a let down. I saw some of the suns spurs games in San Antonio along with Boston/Cleveland. But I just wish the Conference Finals get here (or more BOS?CLE) because its been a sleeper games, unlike the NHL playoffs.

 

[PattyR]

hahaha nice post blanco.

im ready for the next round to begin as well although im still not certain who has the edge between the cavs/celtics....i think the cavs have a deeper squad but for some reason are having trouble against the celtics. game 5 is tomorrow night!!!

 

[jaycism]

Lakers/Suns should be a good match up. the suns will probably go small to try to make it hard for the lakers big guys tocover them. good perimeter shooters. but on the other side the lakers big guys will be able to dominate the paint so it will be a fun series to watch i think.

 

[PC69]

Lets do this. Time for the Truth to step up and knock down some baskets tonight in Cleveland. Iam not a Cavs fan but if the Celtics have any hope of winning this series they have to win tonight. IMO if they dont win tonight they have a better chance of seeing Jesus Christ than taking the next one in boston then game seven in Cleveland.

Rondo gonna be bringing it. Come on C's you can do it.

 

[PC69]

Time for the Truth to step up and knock down some baskets tonight in Cleveland. .

14Pts for Pierce in the first half... We got the lead

 

[PattyR]

[blankoblanco]
