NBA Playoffs

I think since they did the full surgery on Westbrook that he'll be out for a few months so him coming back is more than likely out of the question.

[BoulderSooner]

Is it even possible that Russell could be brought back to play? If I was ownership, I wouldn't have wanted to give the team a second to think that they were just waiting for Westbrook to come back and save them. So I would have announced that he was out for the rest of the playoffs. But if he has healed and is strong enough to play, it might be a good year to push the team and see if we can eek out a championship. Probably too soon yet though to make that call. Would want to see how the Heat ultimately do.

He had the repair done. He is out 8 weeks best case.

HAHAHAHA! Yeah, not happening

Golden State is going to win 4-2 and its going to be Warriors vs Thunder! =)

Pacers blew a great opportunity last night in Miami. Had the game won and let Lebron get a free lay-in with 2 seconds to go in overtime. They are going to be kicking themselves for that one for the rest of this series, I'm afraid.

[td25er]

I think West and Hibbert can give them problems. Should be a good series. Miami FINALLY has a real opponent.

[skanaly]

If the Pacers can get game two, Miami will still win but probably in 6 or 7. Miami is also going to have to win at least one game in Indiana, even though the pacers are undefeated at home in the playoffs this year

The Pacers would still only be the 5-7th best team in the West. It's pretty crappy how Miami gets to waltz into the Finals without having to play the type of competition in the West. It's been like this since the Bulls dynasty ended though.

Miami might disagree with that statement after the first two games. LOL
The pacers don't like they're going to go quietly.

Pacers rightfully WON game 2. I say indy in 7 as they really should have won game 1 in all truthfulness. now what does Miami/Labron homer Kenny the jet smith have to say now?

If the Pacers pull this off, it will make losing Russell this post season even more cringe-worthy.

Honestly the Pacers should be going back to home with 2-0. Heat got luck with a terrible matchup in game1. Pacers control this series no doubt.

Spurs pull off the sweep.

Grizzlies looked pretty bad against a faster veteran PG, Parker. Makes you really cringe when you think of what damage Russell would have done to the Grizz.

Heat knocks down Pacers last night. 3-2 Heat. Just imagine if Pacers had not blown game 1. They would be going home tomorrow night to close it out. now they have to fight elimination.

Meanwhile the Spurs are resting their joints.

This is playing out well for the Spurs.

And Indiana defeats Miami again tonight to send it to a 7th game. I expect Miami to prevail but at least the Pacers are making them sweat while San Antonio is resting up.

Anybody but the Heat!!

This Miami team is just not the same, they're looking closer to the "everything has to go to Lebron" Cavs than they are the team of last year.

I'm really thinking Indiana knocks them off. They have the fight and hunger. Though I have to wonder how Indiana will do over the Spurs. Then again I start to think the Spurs are the favorites at this point with all the rest they are getting.

[dankrutka]

I don't see Miami losing game 7. Expect big bounce back games from Wade and Bosh.

Thinking this ^ with an easy win for the Heat...Unfortunately

[venture]

Poo for rooting for the underdog...regardless of how unlikely it was. LOL

[OKCisOK4me]

Go Spurs!

[Mel]

The spurs must beat the heatles.

[skanaly]

Are you guys Spurs fans? Or just like everyone else and want the heat to lose? haha

[Anonymous.]

It makes sense for OKC to root against the Heat. The bad taste after 2012 is still here. We just got unlucky and lost that opportunity for revenge this season.

2014 is going to be sweet!
