NBA Playoffs: Round One Game Thread

[54thMA]

Hang on you jackasses

 

[Ed Hillel]

If Nets are guarding 3, take the quick 2.

 

[86spike]

Holy shit, what happened?

Joe Johnson has been the only Net awake on the court this quarter.

 

[54thMA]

Please don't blow this

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol Johnson just let him go by.

 

[johnmd20]

Nets looking rattled in a major way. Two timeouts to inbound?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

all 5 Nets guys top 10 picks.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Kidd looks ridiculous with the suit/no tie look.
 
Need the safety-valve lob to Garnett to be an option here (the last one, clearly)

 

[Seabass]

Drake is amped.

 

[johnmd20]

Nets looking rattled in a major way. Two timeouts to inbound?

 
And they couldn't get it in. They suck.

 

[Dollar]

Wow, that an ending.  Give this ball to Greivis and let him win it.

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

Hell of a play.

 

[DJnVa]

Well now.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Sorry, Pierce is not useless.
 
OMFG

 

[mabrowndog]

So that just happened...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jesus.
 
Need a replay.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

like I said, need a safety valve there----what a horrible decision on the pass, and equally awful playcall.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Amazing!

 

[DJnVa]

Jesus.
 
Need a replay.

 
Why? Was rather obvious.

 

[mabrowndog]

TRUTH

 

[johnmd20]

OHHHHHH! No foul. Game over.

 

[DJnVa]

PP with the BLOCK!!!!

 

[shawnrbu]

Pierce saves!
 
Epic game.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Sorry, Pierce is not useless.
 
OMFG

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Sorry, Pierce is not useless.
 
OMFG

 
Not useless indeed!  Paul Pierce!!!!!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

THE TRUTH!!!

 

[54thMA]

Bye bye you Torontonians

 

[Blacken]

"THAT'S WHY THEY BROUGHT ME HERE"

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
Why? Was rather obvious.

 
He was almost back down when he let go of the ball. It was rather close.

 

[NWsoxophile]

KG comes up on the help D, Pierce with block!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Lowrie was too selfish there. He was getting triple teamed, give the ball up.

 

[shawnrbu]

Glad for Pierce and KG.
 
Unfortunately, Miami and Nets is going to be an ugly series.  Heat/Raptors could have been a lot of fun.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Bye bye you Torontonians

hey now, they still have the Marlies.

 

[OCST]

Raptors were useless for 45 minutes, nets for the last 3

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

 
He was almost back down when he let go of the ball. It was rather close.

More contact during the drive, but you're never gonna get the call before the shot in that scenario.

[86spike]

Wow

That's all I've got.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

 
He was almost back down when he let go of the ball. It was rather close.

 
It was not, on the replay.  Perhaps looked so live?

 

[shawnrbu]

Road teams are now 24-94 in Game 7's.  What a stat. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

More contact during the drive, but you're never gonna get the call before the shot in that scenario.

 
No, I meant on the ball that was thrown off Pierce on the other end. The guy was almost down when he released the ball to throw it off Pierce. There was no call to make at the end there.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Lowrie was too selfish there. He was getting triple teamed, give the ball up.

To who? The spacing was terrible and he had no passing lane available. Lowry made the right play and nearly a great play until Pierce went straight up for the game saving block.

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
It was not, on the replay.  Perhaps looked so live?

 
His foot was about 1-2 inches off the ground when he let go of the ball. It looked very close live.

 

[Ed Hillel]

To who? The spacing was terrible and he had no passing lane available. Lowry made the right play and nearly a great play until Pierce went straight up for the game saving block.

 
I'd rather take a wide open 3 than go up against 4 guys in the paint with someone the size of Lowry.
 
Not sure he had the vision for it, though. He was committed to taking that to the hole. Fair enough.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

To who? The spacing was terrible and he had no passing lane available. Lowry made the right play and nearly a great play until Pierce went straight up for the game saving block.

 
Agree.  Plus, he didn't really have time to pass anyway.  

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

 
No, I meant on the ball that was thrown off Pierce on the other end. The guy was almost down when he released the ball to throw it off Pierce. There was no call to make at the end there.

Oh, I see. They'd never make it in that situation, but there was a ton of contact on the drive, and if that's the second quarter you probably get a call half the time there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was crazy, he was about to travel but KG knocked the ball out of his hands and forward which gave him a much better chance. Pierce then stuffed him.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh, I see. They'd never make it in that situation, but there was a ton of contact on the drive, and if that's the second quarter you probably get a call half the time there.

 
Eh, there wasn't that much contact. KG bumped him, Williams may have brushed him. Depends on the mood of the ref at the time. In that situation, that will never get called.

 

[mabrowndog]

To who? The spacing was terrible and he had no passing lane available. Lowry made the right play and nearly a great play until Pierce went straight up for the game saving block.

 
Yup. A pass attempt in that situation would have likely resulted in a turnover.

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

Final cumulative score of the series: Nets 1070 Raptors 1070.

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL Shawn Marion's three.
