The 2014 Playoffs thread

[Celtics18]

Marc definitely gave Westbrook a little forearm in the back as he went up for that lay up.

I don't think I'd give Russell Westbrook any calls either.

[Celtics18]

Nuh uh . . . there was no foul there.  God, I hate a phantom call sooo much more than a missed call!

[Celtics18]

I guess there's no point in going to video here seeing as they get them wrong every time, anyway.


That clearly went off Randolph.  That probably means it will be Grizzlies ball after the review.

This is the most exciting first-round playoffs since Boston's 2009 against Chicago.

Remember Ray's 50+ game. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=27Zqkaj0HvE

No good. 

What a series.  OKC now joins Indiana on the ropes.

[Celtics18]

Holy moly!!!!

[SparzWizard]

Remember, Boston was up 3-2 in 2012 ECF before losing in Game 7.

Really hope Memphis keeps that lead though!

I'm with Chuck -- what kind of play is that?

Also, can we get the Board of Governors to pass a moratorium on first round playoff overtimes? I need to get some sleep one of these days.

Man, those two series feel so different, though.  With all due respect to the Hawks, that series is all about watching the Pacers fall apart.

The Grizz/Thunder series is two good team locked in a really intense, entertaining battle.

Typical Scott Brooks play.

Definitely.  Just surprising those two teams would be in elimination games so early in the playoffs.  This one's a lot more fun to watch for sure.

Grizz/Thunder and Rockets/Blazers each have 3 OT games now.  This is closing on 2009 for best 1st round.

That was the quickest review of a buzzer beater I have ever seen.  It seemed close enough to at least take more than 10 seconds to review.

Grizzlies and Thunder actually have a record-setting four OT games.

TP - must've missed one.

Clips/Warriors looking like it'll come down to the wire too.  And Chris Paul has his annual playoff nagging injury early.

I don't know why Atlanta isn't getting more credit for how well they are attacking Indiana.

They have completely taken Indiana away from their comfort zone. Robbed them of their defensive integrity by pulling Roy Hibbert out of the paint where he can be a dominant shot-blocker and good rebounder and have forced Hibbert to defend in space where he is an ineffective defender + rebounder (since he doesn't have quickness to get back to boards).

The Hawks offense has done a great job of taking Indiana's defensive strengths away from them.
