Lol, sounds fun. The only game I ever been to was a crappy wizards game where they got blown out like 8 years ago. I bet the playoff atmosphere is amazing.

I'm still trying to figure out how this idea that Griffin is good was created. The only thing he can do is dunk, and he can easily be shut down from that. He can't shoot, he doesn't play defense, and he flops even more than Lebron. He sometimes is ok at getting rebounds, but overall he's an average player.

This isnt entirely true. I watched probably 50 or so Clips games this year, and Blake is a good player. His offensive game is getting better. At times he can't be defended in the low post. He is just too explosive, and it's not all dunks. He also has an improving jump shot. He is a very good rebounder as well. His weaknesses are he isnt very good at defense and he is a terrible free throw shooter. He is a very underrated passer as well. I'm not sure if this stat held up for the entire season, but in games where Griffin tallied at least 5 assists the team was undefeated.

For as explosive as he is, he should be a better blocker. But I agree his game is about more than spectacular dunks.

Very true. He almost killed my fantasy team this year because of his inability to block shots and even worse, hit free throws.

Rondo gets another triple double! 8th career playoff triple double, 8th this season, and 2 so far in this years playoffs keep it up Rondo!

[Reed_Fence_20]

Kevin Garnett is in beast mode right now

[Gordo52]

Even though I'm not a Celtics fan I like to see them do good. Hopefully they'll be able to knock off the heat.

[T3hRaven]

It looks like OKC might finally be ready. If they were still in Seattle I might be rooting for them instead of the Lakers.

[Gordo52]

I'm convinced that this is OKC's year.

hope not, still think my Lakers wake up and get their game together for another run and a final vs Miami (or anybody else but Celtics lol)

Heat and Pacer series tied 1-1.
They miss Bosh a lot.

It's ridiculous. The highest scorers after LeBron and Wade were Battier and Chalmers with 5 points apiece.

Lets see if Spoelstra can make something work. Bosh was very underrated this season, and he was a big part of the Heats success. He averaged like 15 ppg and was 2nd on the team in rpg.

[gabefergy]

I already thought OKC would win it all this year. I feel more confident about this now.

It goes beyond anything Spoelstra can do in my opinion. Indiana has a deep and talented rotation that matches up well with LeBron and Wade. Both of them need the ball to be at their best, which bogs down the offense in half-court situations. Things get even tougher when role players aren't knocking down shots.

Agreed on Bosh's contributions being underrated.

What?! It wasn't his fault, it was Blake's for missing that wide-open 3. World Peace didn't have time for Kobe to become open, as there was less than 2 seconds left. OKC obviously expected a pass to Kobe, which is why they left the benchwarmer open.

He was 9 for 25 from the field, and 0-6 with 3 point attempts!! He missed his last 5 shots I believe, and turned it over late to KD.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Kobe has been that bad in a playoff game since his atrocious performance in that game 7 against the Celtics a few years ago (which everyone conveniently forgets because the Lakers still won).

I heard the other day it was his worse performance since 2002 or 2003 I think. When he had Shaq to carryhim.

[Reed_Fence_20]

Celtics destroyed great game by all our star players

[redrum52]

The Lakers losing shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. The only shocker that game was how close it was. I expect a sweep and the Thunder to win it all. I think it would be funny to see the Heat knocked off by the Pacers as well.

Will Lebron want out?
