2010-11 NBA Playoffs / Finals

[Drucci]

Ugh, tough loss for Indiana, not sure they will recover in the series.

But it just confirmed to me that Chicago won't beat Orlando.

Why, specifically?  I saw nothing to make me believe that.

Orlando is better coached that Indy, has a lot more experience, Dwight, more shooters and scorers, more toughness on the road... the thing is, Chicago relies too heavily on Rose and Deng isn't reliable enough as a 2nd option. Boozer always disappears in the playoffs. And Noah is great on D but not a scorer.

[GDAbraham]

Obviously Rose was clutch, but he was the only one scoring all game. That can't hold up. Their D reappeared and that's what saved them. That and Indiana relying on poor jumpshots in the stretch and being out-coached. I like your aggression, Noah, but you might wanna act like Godzilla when you take down another monster. Not Tyler Hansbrough.

[snively]

Love how Miller attacks the boards.  Amazing how he always manages to be close to the ball.

this sixers team is fun to watch..they have some good young talent...and BTW...does chris bosh realize the game started at 3:30?

Do you believe that game was typical for Indy or Chicago?  I don't see Indy shooting that well or Chicago (mainly Rose) that poorly from 3 again in the same game, nor do I see Hansbrough dominating the match-up with Boozer again.

I think Chicago will blow them out for the rest of the games in the series.

Told you the refs helping rose was gonna happen. Indiana winning was asking for too much. They choked in the last 2 min. with a freaking 10 point lead.

Yeah, I was so mad.  They should have won the game but they p---ed it away.

Didn't help that Rose can manufacture points whenever he wants to because he can just run at the defense and get to the free throw line if there's any contact at all.

OK, Heat down 12 after 1. Let's hope that at least LeBron and his South Beach talents lose.

Closely watching how Thad Young fares against Miami since he is pretty similar to Jeff Green.

He had probably forgotten that there is such a thing as "The Playoffs" until he was told after the last game of the regular season, that he had to show up for practice the next day.

can't allow miami to trail too long...lets call everything on the sixers

[celticinorlando]

4 straight miami possessions...4 fouls called on philly

[CelticSooner]

Boshtrich is so annoying.

[GDAbraham]

He looks like an Orc when he does that. "They just called an offensive foul on the other team 5 minutes into the 1st quarter us down 20! RAARRWWWWKBJKLSDFJDSLK!"

Van Gundy and crew pointing out Chicago is in dire straits if they need to rely on their point guard for every single play.

[GreenFaith1819]

Tough loss by Indy, but I believe that as long as Tyler Hansbrough is on the court for the Pacers, they will be in every game.

That guy brings it every game. IMO he is the emotional leader of that team...he took an elbow to the head and was stumbling around in the tunnel there, and a few min later he's back out on the court.

I could see Indy get its mojo back when he came in.

CHI may win this series, but they are in for a tough one.

[GDAbraham]

All this action today has me pumped for tomorrow. I'm not even looking in the near future with Shaq and all that. I just want nothing more than for them to come out and show that they're still the Celtics. The other teams can have the hype.
