Not for nothing, Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly have been productive rookies from Duke. Miles Plumlee too in his second year too.
 
At the break I was convinced Indiana could beat Miami in the ECF

Now I don’t even think Indiana can get Miami to a game 7

I hope I’m wrong and Indiana shows up or whoever makes it from the West beats Miami
 
It was a foul, but like every other game, not every foul is called. its fine
The Heat will take care of the Nets in the Play offs,

Look at laker fans who switched over to be Pacer fans, now being Nets fans...LMAOOOOO!!!!

I stood there next to Michael Jordan, staring at him wondering what the **** do I say. I had my moment that night. My hero stood there, shook my hand, and asked me something that changed my world. He looked down on me and asked me “Can I **** your wife?” and I laughed thinking it was a funny joke. The thing was he wasn’t kidding. Yes, MJ had been drinking, but he was 100% serious. He then said, “Let me know.” My heart dropped and that was it. As mad as I was at my hero I was more mad at myself for worshipping something that was never real.
 
:lol: :lol: :lol: dude is a scumbag.

Also that was not a foul, it was a clean block. The hand is part of the ball

While some contact may occur during a game, it does not mean a foul has been committed. Contact which is incidental to an effort by a player to play an opponent or to perform normal defensive or offensive movements should not be considered illegal. Players are allowed normal body contact with opponents when reaching for a loose ball if they both have the same opportunity to get the ball. This type of play shall be ruled incidental if neither illegally gains an advantage. The hand is considered “Part of the ball” when it is in contact with the ball. It is not a foul if a defensive player makes normal contact with a players hand when it is in contact with the ball.

It was a great no call
 
Exactly THATS the difference between KD and Bron. After that all kd said is that he should've made the shot. What did bron do? Cried like a little baby about it. C'mon you're the best player in the world and instead of using it as motivation to work harder you cry about it and that's why KD is the MVP and not Lebron this season. Block was clean as hell ball got hit first and you know what they say "hand is part of the ball"


OH!!!
But how soon do we forget that KD cried like a ***** after Lebron took him out of the nba finals 4-1

:smokin
Talk about that.

after he asked, he probably hit him with the famous shrug

Paul George and David West Asked for Time Off Before the Playoffs

It’s no secret that the Indiana Pacers are an exhausted  bunch. Paul George and David West approached head coach Frank Vogel about taking a few games off  prior to the start of the Playoffs, which he readily agreed to. From the team website:
Tuesday’s Pacers practice at Bankers Life Fieldhouse had an unusual feel to it. With a welcomed second off day between games, Pacers coach Frank Vogel opted to give his starters the day off from practice.

“I think rest and healing up nagging injuries is part of the solution,” he said before catching the team’s flight to Milwaukee. “It’s not the whole solution but I think it’s part of it.

“Obviously we haven’t been very strong with our shot making of late. Our defense the other night was as bad in terms of containing the basketball as we’ve been all year. I think that has to do with legs and commitment. We just want to be mindful of making sure we’re as fresh as possible going into the playoffs.”

Vogel said veteran David West and Paul George, both of whom have played and started all 78 games this season, thought it would help and suggested it “in a very positive way.” Roy Hibbert has also yet to miss a game.

Lance Stephenson wasn’t in the lineup for two games and George Hill has missed five, but Vogel says Hill has more than made up for missed time by playing extended minutes in the absence of backup C.J. Watson, who is hoping to return on Wednesday.

“Paul, David, and Roy have played every single game and that’s rare, especially when you play 18 games in a month with 11 road games,” said Vogel.

In hindsight, Vogel said he regrets not giving guys nights off during their busy March slate.

“I think there was a consequence to that and I think our guys look worn down,” Vogel said.

Jordan lucked out not by not having to play during this generation. He seems like such a douchebag. With everyone of these tales that came out, It's like finding out Santa Claus wasn't real all over again. :smh:
 
This is a good article:  http://grantland.com/the-triangle/b...-season-around-and-how-it-could-win-the-east/





And I don't think it's a stretch to say that Jason Kidd has done one of the smartest coaching jobs in the L this year, since Lopez went down.  Remaking the Nets into a small-ball post-up team.  Pushing Pierce to the 4 and Williams to the 2.  Very cool.
From 28th to 10th in defense and from 20th to 2nd in threes attempted :wow: :wow:

JR Smith will soon demand a trade

apologies to J.Kidd. I was slandering this guy saying after ASB he would be fired. Boy was I wrong.

:rofl: at Lebron waiting after the game to cry with fans about the no call
