Yo, what happened to Green Kool Aid? I thought he liked the NBA in general, but ever since his Celtics went draft style, he's been gone.

Also, really strange on my eyes and ears to hear Barkley support the Suns tonight. It must be Opposite Day.

tud,

Pretty sure the series can't start til Sunday, but I hope the scheduling is screwed up enough to make game 2 on thurs (it really is possible) so I can actually make it. But yea it will probably be one of those lame abc sunday games.

He made a post in the Celtics thread that he won't be around for a while.

kidcolin, that kinda sucks.

Artdogg, if the Suns win tonight I'm sure they'll release the schedule tomorrow out of deference to the teams and season ticket holders. However, with the other side of the bracket involving two game 6s tomorrow, my guess is they will stagger game one until Sunday. Then, in order to allow the other series to catch up, I would expect them to wait until Wednesday for game two. I can't see them waiting until Thursday though...

Also, yeah about lame ABC Sunday games. Sucks that the TNT crew is the best but they'll be phased out as the playoffs wear on.

Now that the thread is back on track.

GG Spurs. That game had to be one of the most difficult views I've ever had as a Nugget fan. It's sad when you know your team, at their absolute best, has no shot because they were just overmatched.

Are Phoenix fans scared yet? I could be steaming a bit right now, but I don't think I've ever seen SA look this good on D. Or this clutch in the 4th. Or this cohesive.

I agree with kfbc's assessment of the Nugs. In the post game PC AI told everyone that this series loss was on him, and I agree to a point.

It'll be interesting to see what they do in the off season, with Blake, JR, and Kenyon being the question marks. I'm really pumped about Melo's play on D, as well as his poise this series. He's also become a much better 3 point shooter in the last month, as has Nene with FTs. Hopefully Melo will be able to spread the court even more next year, and Nene can continue to work on his aggressiveness.

Kleiza needs to go on the Steve Hess diet, but I think there is potential there. I don't know what to say about JR. Maybe this humbling will have the same affect it did on Melo earlier in the season.

These playoffs have been great so far, and this is only round one! I'm looking forward to the SA/PHX series the most, but every possible round 2 match-up looks pretty compelling.

This thread was good until game 5 of dal and gs, shut the [censored] up about it now. Can anyone tell me which of the US networks plays the finals, are they all on ESPN? It really sucks in Aus we lost TNT cable a few years back so I only get to see 3 games a week on ESPN and it would be really [censored] if I don't get to see all the finals.

[Jack of Arcades]

I assume the finals will all be on ABC

[Sadat X]

Finals on ABC I think - sorry dude.

Curious as to what all the NBA guys here think of Turiaf. I know everyone loves David Lee these days, and he seems to be somewhat of a similar player to me.
