NBA 2014 Playoffs and Offseason

[Jonah Weiland]

The woefully disappointing top seeded Pacers staved off elimination last night with a 95-88 win over Atlanta, forcing a game seven on Saturday.

Meanwhile, L'affaire Sterling has taken a darker turn with news that the disgraced owner of the Clippers is suffering from prostate cancer. So, at the risk of sounding snarky, that lifetime ban might not last all that long.

I hate Sterling, he's a miserable man and as a long suffering Clippers fan, well, he rarely did the team any good, but I never would wish cancer on anyone. That's terrible news.

I lost my mother to lung cancer 21 years ago, so yeah, I wouldn't wish that horror on anyone either, not even Sterling.

We don't have enough game 7s in the first round, Dallas and Brooklyn need to win their game 6s

We are now enemies.

This may be the first flame war on the new CBR Community.

One can hope. Should have happened last year. I can't stand the Heat and it's all about Lebron hate. Pisses me off most they're going to have an easy time cruising to the NBA Finals. Crush the Bobcats, crush the Hawks, maybe 5 games against the Wizards? This only makes me want non conferences so teams like the Heat don't get a super easy time through the playoffs. They're already the best team in there, but the possible playoff schedule just seems unfair lol. Whereas SAS, OKC, LAC, GSW, etc. are killing themselves to get into the playoffs.

The Heat can't play Atlanta and Washington in these playoffs. Those two are on the same side of the bracket.

I fully expect both the Raptors (actually going to be at this one supporting my Raptors since Brooklyn is so close to Toronto, #WeTheNorth) and the Spurs to close out their series.

All losing sides make the same argument.

2013, if Ray Allen missed that shot in game 6...
2011, if LeBron didn't meltdown...
2008, if Boston didn't have the Big 3...
2008 Spurs vs. Suns first round, Duncan hits that ridiculous 3pt to force OT, and then win that game and sweep the Suns...
2007, if the Mavs didn't panick in the 1st round against the Warriors...
2005, Pistons vs. Heat, if Wade played game 7...
2004, Lakers vs. Pistons, if Kobe only passed the ball to Shaq more...
2003, if the Spurs just played a REAL team, not those chumps the Nets, whom they swept...
1988, Lakers vs. Pistons, if Kareem didn't get that foul call in game 6...
1987, if Magic didn't hit the baby hook over McHale and Parish...

etc.

[Hiromi]

As much as we joke about the Spurs being 5 seconds away from winning game 6 they had every opportunity to win that game in overtime(given that their blatant illegal substitution of Tim Duncan during the ref replay review of Allen's shot went unnoticed) as well as game 7 and just got flat out outplayed, so I don't buy the should have argument.

And over sports! That would be a first!

To tell the truth, i'm that passionate about Basketball. Football is my sport

Zach Randolph is suspended for game 7 after throwing a punch at Steven Adams. Yeah real smart move their Zach, cost the team their best player for a win or go home game because you got mad at someone who plays 8 minutes a game. The Grizzlies might as well just forfeit the game and series.

Lol the only good call Scott Brooks made. Try to get Zach tossed.

Having watched ZBo play against the Clippers in two playoff series now, my hate for him as a player knows no bounds, but I do feel for the Grizz. It feels like the NBA has handed OKC a win, which is a shame.
