The Warriors almost choked that game away but they deserved to win the series. Overachieving all year. The Spurs will win in 5 though.

intereresting...the C's could be the first team in NBA history to come back from 0-3.

just like the Red Sox were the first MLB team to do it against the Yankees. this coincidence tells me it's going to happen.[*]

Knicks close it out tonight.

while i think guys like Peirce and Garnett should be tired tonight...i think they still pull this game out.

my fear is that that last performance from JR isn't because of his suspension for one game, but that he is at the start of one of his funks.

my fear is that that last performance from JR isn't because of his suspension for one game, but that he is ~~at the start of one of his funks~~ merely regressing to the mean as he was playing well beyond what he could reasonably sustain over a long period of time.

Knicks win tonight.

What a delightfully atrocious game.

Iso-ball ftl. 27% of their possessions in this series they've run isolations. Brutal.

Well I think this is the end of the Paul Pierce and KG era. Tons of great memories but I think it's time. Past year or so it's been tough watching Pierce. He hasn't lost just a half step or a step he's lost like three steps. Danny's gonna let him go he kinda has too and then KG will ask out or retire. It's been a great run and I'm more than satisfied with what they gave us.

Don't know who I'll root for next round. Normally it would be the Knicks but I've always had a soft spot for the Pacers.

happy that the Celtics are done. never liked Pierce at all. then Garnett comes and gets a ring. bunch of dbags for sure.

Knicks/Pacers should be fun. not sure what to expect from this one.

The Bulls will be very undermanned again tonight on the road (Deng is in the hospital after having a spinal tap). Hopefully, Hinrich can give it a go and give at least 15 minutes or so of solid defense on Williams. The Nets have home court, health and the best player on the floor....and i'm STILL not convinced they have what it takes to close this series.

Bulls are coming out with a lot of energy tonight. I'm gonna miss these guys...

Going to be close at the end, but bulls and heat next.

Which is good for a Knicks fan. Maybe this physical team of them bulls can take out a few heat players in case they meet the Knicks.

Joe Johnson was absolutely terrible tonight.

red calzolaio · Post by **red calzolaio** » Sun May 05, 2013 2:36 am

I would try to spell his name but...

The coach of the Bulls. I would not want Joe Johnson on my team maaan

I've never been so excited to be pooped on by Miami.

Indiana is a tough playoff matchup. They have a bunch of goons on their roster who just want to rough you up. The goon factor becomes much more noticeably important during a seven game series and is the last thing a jumpshooting team like the Knicks want to see. I think the Pacers win in 6.
