09 playoffs thread

lol i love this series

if this goes 7 games they should just suspend all the starters and give us the brent barry/adam morrison showdown we've all been waiting for

OMG injury everyone on the rockets they become stronger

so amazing

[autotune] so amazing (20x) [/autotune]

wow brooks is ballin

this is insane

haa i luv this lil aaron brooks leprechaun

that catch and shoot is amazing in replay

lool rockets +29 after 3

god artest is an unconscionable chucker

omg just tuned in. wow rockets

artest 0-7 in 3s ??

yeah artest basically threw away game 3 by taking ridiculous jumpers in the last few minutes when houston still had a chance to catch up. the rest of his game is great tho - like he outrebouded pau today!

lol wtf euphemistic espn headline "pocket rocket explodes"

typical Laker lazy sunday afternoon performance.right from that turnover after the tipoff with Ariza carelessly throwing it away, i knew it was going to be a bad day. It's fucked when you know you can beat pretty much any team if you just play hard but decide not to.

not even 6 minutes in and this is one of the worst officiated games yet

lol how did i know joey crawford was there

god can't some genius come up with a way to officiate a basketball game? it's been a big problem in several tight series' this year -- seems worse than usual. And it's usually awful! There just has to be something better than this.

add a fourth official so you can have two in the corners and two near midcourt, give the lead ref power to stop and video review any call w/in certain parameters (end of shot clock etc) esp in the playoffs, let joey crawford and bennet salvatore retire. some of the younger guys like zarba seem better, but yeah, it's a hard game to officiate b/c it moves so fast and there are so many things to watch, but it should be better

i think part of the problem is also that the ref's union is like fuck u guys when it comes to changing things up.

didn't want to be the one to bring up shitty officiating but cosign on the above

i don't whats worse tonight the officiating or celtics defense

i hope kg spends all of halftime inside perk's ear

this is the game without stops

pierce has to find ray sooner

c's going to need threes if they're going to keep backing away from howard and trading baskets

im taking u to the hole barkley its amazing so amazing!

oh yesss

oh noooo

pierce's 4th

I think the best way to solve the referee situation is to give each and every player and coach a whistle. That way if a player or a player's coach feels that the player has been fouled/committed a foul, he may blow the whistle and the appropriate penalty may be assessed.

glen davis!

hack-a-davis strategy

wow perk draws a foul

turkoglu is dope imo

yeah he's solid

no dogg u hav it twisted - turkoglu sux - career 42% shoot and horrible defender

didn't know that

he's been better w/ the magic tho

he had a crazy fluke season last year and now everyone thinks hes good - to the point that the announcers are always like whats up w/turkoglu he needs to step up - whats up w/him is hes playing pretty much like he usually does

also good in ~**crunch time**~

peruse crunch time stats at yr leisure http://www.82games.com/0809/CSORT11.HTM - i suspect u will find theyre not so kind to teh turk

fucking pp foul trouble again wtf

i have a tendency to notice opposing players' strengths and my own team's flaws

nice work by allen & perk, but foul trouble is gonna fuck us up

awful call on pierce's #5

leave pierce in imo

oh yeah rajon

Nah I think Turk is pretty good - he's a good shooter and can do at least some things around the basket, unlike say Peja Stojakovic. And for some reason he seems to be playing better than Rashard Lewis has been this year

no

yes
