The 2014 Playoffs thread

Pacers are undefeated in the post-season when Hibbert scores 10 or more. That's hilarious.

Is hilarious really the word you are looking for?? Why is it hilarious that they are undefeated when their All-Star center comes to play?

As far as D.O.S comment above, yes when the game is called fairly undersized teams like Miami will commit a lot of fouls. There is no reason to let them get away with fouls just because they are undersized.

Its interesting:

When the Lakers attempt 18 more free throws than the Kings in a Conference Finals game, it's a clear sign that the game is rigged.

When the Pacers attempt 22 more free throws than the Heat in a Conference Finals game, it's a clear sign that the refs were calling the game fairly.

Pacers were much more aggressive going to the rim in the fourth q. Miami only scored with steals and alley-oops.

Not sure what was posted that led to this conclusion.

Indy taking Bron down

No third ring for this group.....as constructed

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.   

Wait til Tuesday, if we miss the top 3 it's a clear sign the league is rigging things against us, but if we get in the top 3 we just got lucky in a fair draw (EDIT: Unless the Lakers also get a better top 3 pick, in which case the draw was rigged but only for their spot, not ours.  This stuff can get complicated).

Good win by Indy but there was a bunch off ticky tack calls in their favor. Don't expect this to continue watch Miami live at the line next game

San Antonio Spurs wrecking OKC Thunder minus Serge Ibaka. They miss him badly inside.

[Vox_Populi]

OKC somehow in the game despite playing 2 on 5 on offense.

[SHAQATTACK]

Indy and Spurs will be a lot of fun.

Good D by Baynes on Durant!

My guess as to the use of "hilarious" is that the number they're using as a measurement--10 points--is so low, and also that this guy who's supposed to be such a good center goes so often without scoring a measly 10 points. I want Indy to win, but Hibbert is so inconsistent; how can a "legit" 7-footer not score at least 10 points most of the time?

C'mon Spurs!

I really want Mills to drain a 3 in Adams' face.

I don't understand how Scott Brooks still has a job.

I don't understand how Scott Brooks still has a job.

I don't either, but there isn't much he can do. His best defensive unit has 3 guys, Thabo, Perk and Collison, that are almost useless offensively. When he went small, OKC scored, but gave up too much.

The one that confuses me the most is Sefolosha. He could stay on if he could hit wide open shots. He shot over 40% from 3 the two seasons prior to this last one. Now he's a Tony Allen level brickmaster.

Spurs routed OKC...I thought the outcome would be close.
