Non-Hawks Related Playoff Thread

[TheTruth]

I wanted to include a topic that people would see (read: not in the Around the NBA forum) and could reply to about the other teams in the playoffs. Day one was filled with amazing basketball such as CHI BARELY squeaking by the Pacers at home and MIA playing a too-close-for-comfort opener, etc. Today brought us a Grizzlies upset of the Spurs.

What are your thoughts on the playoffs so far?

Remember, this is NON-Hawks related.

Fantastic playoffs so far.

[MVP23]

This is my favorite team of the year. ITs warming up outside, my senioritis is running at an all time high, and its playoff time. Awesome game so far. Every single one of them.

Looking at how CP3 and scrubs are playing the defending champs makes me want CP3 in a Hawks uniform.

Around the NBA, mods?

CP3 is giving it to the Lakers. The Lakers look like the Hawks trying to guard Nelson with Bibby. They don't have an answer except CP3 is much better.

No one is lying down for the favored teams. No one.

I think LA underestimated NO because West is out.

Lakers look old, and I think that we should keep this thread in the homecourt just because it's the playoffs

I don't check for the others forums either.

This topic has been moved from "HomeCourt" to "Around The NBA".

I was hoping it wouldn't be moved because many people, like myself, don't check the Around the NBA forum nearly as much as they do the Homecourt forum.

Oh well.

Wow - while I'm no fan of the Knicks...they just got royally screwed by the refs in Boston. They called a game deciding offensive foul against Carmello when he basically did nothing. He just stuck his arm out when receiving a pass on the wing. The defender wasn't going for the steal and he gained no advantage. I've never seen a call like that even in the middle of a regular season game. :negative:

Granted Boston had to hit the final shot to win, but that was ridiculous.

[ag82]

that was awful. it may have been a foul, but definitely not a foul that you call at that point in the playoffs.

Sorry i understand why you created it there but I can't just selectively allow some threads and not others. People complain that threads in this forum aren't read but if people would actually visit the other forums they would be read.

Even without the Hawks game I think this is the most competitive and exciting playoffs I've ever seen from top to bottom. Just imagine if Chicago hadn't gotten lucky yesterday and if Philly had been able to finish their late rally and then throw in the Knicks nearly winning and it's just crazy to think how there isn't a single dominant team this year ... at least so far.

How freaking good is this Den - OKC game!! Remember when the Hawks had a guy blocking shots like Serge Iblocka? I miss that version of Josh Smith ... :kickcan:

I understand that. Rules are rules.

Back on topic, this has certainly been one of the most entertaining playoffs ever. The matchups that should be one-sided have provided us with nail-biters and upsets, and we have a DEN-OKC game that is in no short supply of awesomeness.

Gotta love it so far.

It's amazing how different the Nuggets are with and without Nene in there. I think if they had Afflalo Denver would probably have run away with this game.

[Admin]

Damn Denver just got screwed there with the no call on the basket interference when Ibaka went through the net to tap that back in.
