Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

^^ Yeah, James and Wade showed up in crunch time last night, Rose may have been the MVP but when he takes 20+ shots they're normally in trouble because he really forces the shots way too much, leads all playoff players in shots per game but only shoots 41%. :bleh:

EPIC!

Thunder evens things up with the Mavs, 106-100. :victory: :applaud:

WOW. :shocked:

The Lakers quick and unceremonious exit had a bigger effect than I thought.

Ahhhh Man! If Jerry West had signed on with the Warriors last week we would have gotten a better spot in this year's draft.

Oh well, jaded, cynical fan stuff aside... cool for the Dubs!

TV really rules pro sports, :bow: nothing new we all didn't know, but the Thunder/Mavs play games 2 & 3 Thurs/Sat. while the Bulls/Heat play their 2nd & 3rd games on Weds/Sun, bit unfair that they get 3 days off like that compared to the other series but who would draw the bigger ratings on a Sunday afternoon? :twisted:

Dallas beats OKC, 93-87. :(

Dallas now leads the series 2-1.

It'll be Mav's and Heat finals, like 2006 all over again, this time same result, with the Heat winning in 5 or 6, this time without Shaq, and with a Lebron-Wade-Bosh trio to claim it, that's too bad it couldn't be another team, i guess when they win it, it'll be somewhat deserved after all they went through to gain it. Although Mav's look tough too, the other two teams look too vulnerable and lack the offensive punch down the stretch even in the home-losses(OKC and Bulls).

^ Boy, I hope you're wrong, especially about the Heat: they're absolutely the last team I want to win it all.... :bleh:

If the Heat were to win it all, it would be the End of Days. :(

My order of preference:

1. Bulls
2. Thunder
3. Mavericks
4. Heat

Bulls lose to the Heat, 93-85. :(

The Heat lead the series, 2-1.

Heat are playing so well right now, especially on defense, seems like the 'stars' are more concerned with winning and playing as a team instead of trying to have a nice stat line.

The Thunder does an imitation of the Lakers and blows a big lead in the 4th, losing to the Mavs in OT, 112-105. :shakehead:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar finally gets statue!

They were up by 15 with 5 minutes to go, don't know whether it was great D by the Mavs or the inability of the Thunder to run their offense, you look at the plays the last 5 minutes seems 2/3 of them were some forced shots by Durant or Westbrook from 20+ feet, :sweat: needless to say for as much talent as those 2 may have they need to learn there's probably a couple of open players if they're getting hounded. :beaten:

Bulls lose to the Heat again, 101-93, in OT. :(

The Heat leads the series, 3-1. :bleh:

Let's see who the Warrior's choose now....

Hmm... I dunno. :sweat:

Dallas eliminates OKC from the playoffs and wins the West, 100-96.
