The 2014 Playoffs thread

You mean wrist is part of the ball?  I was absent the day they taught that.

replay shows Bron getting him in the forearm, very clearly.

Same exact foul as last night. At least the NBA was consistent in not calling the foul but rewarding the ball to the team that touched it last. OH NBA SMH

They showed a rule last night that if the hand is hit of the person who is holding the ball and the ball goes out of bounds it goes to the person whose hand was hit, the foul doesn't have to be called.

Now clearly he didn't hit the hand but that's the only way BKN gets the ball there so the ref must have determined the hand was hit just like OKC game.

Brooklyn should have at least got off a shot. You have to go out swinging.

Tough loss for Brooklyn.

I think KG hangs em up.  Unless he signs with Kerr at Golden State......by the way is were I think Pierce will go .

[Mr October]

so, predictions on KG announcing his retirement?

I think he will feel enormous pressure to keep playing. If Pierce leaves for another team, KG retires.

I think Brook Lopez's health is another big factor. If he isn't healthy the Nets are in trouble next year.

I predict, Pierce gets a big contract in Brooklyn, even for 1 year, Lopez returns, and KG gives it one more year.

[Who]

KG should return and be the backup C behind B.Lopez. He would be good in that role.

Jason kidd spectacular again. Go to down the stretch either joe johnson against best defender in the league or Shaun livingston post up. Kind of hilarious the last 2 games

[SparzWizard]

Every year it's been KG coming back for one more year.

That's it. He's done. Way past his balling expiration date. Definitely should retire now.

Pierce still got a little bit left in him though.

Eh they just tried having Pierce post up Ray and work the pick and roll earlier.

Nets tried just about every option at the end of the game, just couldn't get anything to fall.

Since the last topic got locked, discuss the playoffs in here!

Goodbye Trail Blazers you will be missed.

Yeah, unfortunately a fellow Boston team just got eliminated in the playoffs.

Sigh...what a bad year for Boston sports

Spurs took care of business easily. Unfortunately Tony Parker has gotten his customary injury.

Even with Parker in, I can't really see San Antonio beating OKC in a 7-game series. The 0-4 regular season is one thing, but facing against two explosive players on the perimeter is another.

Another easy championship for Miami when they advance to the NBA Finals to beat OKC Thunder because the Heat's got the Thunder's numbers regardless of what happens!

But I really hope the Spurs win it all now...

I'd rather see Clippers/Spurs, honestly.
