NBA Playoffs Season 2014-2015

Where did Demarre Carroll come from, lol ?  I know that he went to Missouri, but he was barely in the league before this season, so what changed?  I'm not saying that he didn't have any talent, but most of these Hawks players were like our guys in past years.  I'm sure that part of it is the system or whatever, but that doesn't explain everything.

Carroll showed these type of skills last year.  Celtics fans underrated him, though; a lot of Celts fans were mocking Atlanta fans for preferring Carroll to Jeff Green.

Nets are one of the worst teams to watch in the entire league.

Makes you wonder what-if when you read this:

Then in February 2011, I was traded to Houston, but they didn't give me a shot and waived me two months later. I used that as motivation during pickup games that summer at the 360 Health Club in Reseda, Calif. Playing against All-Stars like Tyson Chandler, Elton Brand, Kevin Garnett, Paul George, Danny Granger and Paul Pierce, I was really locking up guys, playing great defense and shooting the ball pretty well.

That's when KG and Paul Pierce tried to get Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge to bring me in because they thought I could replace Tony Allen, who signed with the Grizzlies the summer before. The Celtics got with my agent, Mark Bartelstein, but that didn't work out. To this day, Paul Pierce always tells Danny, "I told you DeMarre was going to be good."

Looks like Paul Pierce will face the Atlanta Hawks again.

Should be interesting!

107-84 with Atlanta leading in the 4th with about 2 minutes to go, and they're already announcing Washington vs Atlanta game on Sunday lolol.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that, probably because I never watch the Hawks, lol .

TP for the find.  This is also why I want to get Pierce's assessments of our rookies and second year guys this summer.  Maybe we should hire him as a scout after his playing days are over.

Of course, in regards to replacing Tony Allen, we never would have had that problem if Ainge had taken Wesley Matthews instead of Lester Hudson. *facepalm* Sorry, I know that I'm beating a dead horse, here, but that one will always bother me.  Hell, our bench would have been awesome if we'd taken Matthews in 2009 and Jimmy Butler in 2011.  Both guys were taken at the end of their respective rounds, too.  In fairness, though, I didn't really look at the guys in the 2011 draft, although I thought that Faried would have been great here.  Once the Nuggets took him I wanted Jordan Hamilton, lol , so, yeah, I'm a moron, ahaha .  I'd never even heard of Jimmy Butler, let alone Marshon Brooks.  Ugh.  I pay much better attention now, though, with 2011 being the only draft that I didn't really look into for some reason. 

Still, the point is that you can rebuild on the fly.  Those guys would have been great here, providing that they had actually gotten a chance to play, so never mind, haha .  Sigh.

I feel like the Clippers will take the game today. Which means it could very well be the last time we see Tim Duncan on the court.

Regardless if you like the Spurs the man is a true legend of the game, to be performing to the level he does at 39 is nothing short of phenomenal.

I would not be surprised to see Vintage Tim tonight. I expect them to take it tonight.

When it comes down to mental toughness, there is only so much that Doc Rivers can do. And he has been PHENOMENAL, if you ask me. But his troops must exhibit that on the court, and oftentimes, in crunch time, his main guys make too many mental errors.

If it's close, Spurs will win it.

[Beat LA]

Soooooo, who's watching, lol ?

[Who]

Very excited for this one. Cheering for Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs.

[SparzWizard]

Should be the Clippers' taking tonight.

I don't see them losing 3 straight home games.

[mr. dee]

May-Pac main event wont start anytime soon so I can watch the clips-spurs for at least 3 quarters.

Bad turnover by Ginobili. Sloppy.

[Endless Paradise]

I wonder who'll be the first idiot to call CP3 soft for pulling his hamstring.
