NBA Playoffs

Good to see Spurs gone. They are so boring to watch IMO. Last years playoffs made me lose interest in the NBA because it was so awful so I have not watched much this year. But I have watched a couple Lakers games when the Flames were not playing

That's true, the Spurs really are boring. It's all defense and there's nothing flashy about them. Maybe real basketball purests enjoy it but they bore the hell out of me. That is, of course, unless I'm watching the Lakers beat them 4 games in a row.

And your a Flames fan?

A fast young team is fun to watch. Spurs are a slow old team that have nobody exciting to watch. But what do I expect from you. Flames don't strand a chance against teams like Detroit right? :roll:

The thing is the Flames aren't a team that's fun to watch, they're carried by one superstar player, and one hot goalie (not last night) and they play the trap. This year, let alone these playoffs this has been proven by the regular brutal goalmouth scramble goal(s) they score to actually win games.

I would love to see Calgary win it all, but the only thing that sparks that interest is the Canadian factor, and Jarome Iginla. It's a shame they have to play an extremely talented exciting team, non-trap team like San Jose to get through to the next level.

Oh please :roll: Anybody who says Flames are a one or two player team are idiots. Conroy is a great setup man, Donovan is a great skater who can put the puck in the net and I could go on but I am just wasting my time with you.

No really, please go on about how the Flames are a better team than the Sharks, for that matter how they're an exciting team to watch despite playing the trap. Come on Spinoff...

Now for some actual NBA talk...

I watched the 4th quarter of the Pacers-Heat game last night, and all i have to say is: Cant anybody hit a freakin jumpshot anymore???? That was an ugly, ugly game. Makes me think maybe the Pacers arent as good as i thought.

Also, hows this for strategy: You're Miami and super-rookie Dwayne Wade (not to be confused with Dwayne Wayne from the early-90's sitcom A Different World) has just hit a finger-roll to pull within two points. Wade has 24 points on 10-16 shooting. So, you get the ball back with a chance to tie, and you obviously give Wade the ball, right? No, Eddie Jones puts up a brick that goes over the backboard and out of bounds. Pacers ball

Now, Wade has 5 fouls, so Van Gundy smartly pulls him so that he doesnt foul the inbounder and foul out. Anthony Johnson hits one of two free throws. Now, shouldnt you put in your hottest player??? No, Van Gundy kees Wade on the bench, and Rafer Freakin' alston takes the last shot and air balls it.

Theres no excuse for having Wade on the bench for that last shot. terrible decision

Anyway, tonight is Game 7 of the Kings-Wolves, which should be interesting, especially if KG actually does come out with all the guns he said he was gonna bring
