NBA playoffs

I'm no Reddick fan but he is more of a dagger player than a comeback shooter. Anyway there is something missing on that roster and Doc will figure that out. Up 3-1 and couldn't close, there is a lot of blame to pass around.

Griffen didn't go to the foul line until the 4th qtr, and he's a power forward. Hell I don't even know who there 2 guard is, and they appear to have a weak bench. I'm no NBA expert like you and others but the Clippers deserved to lose.

Redick is their 2 guard and yes they have no bench. Griffin had 27 and 11, he ain't the problem. Barnes as your starting 3 man is a huge problem.

Ok I know you guys love the NBA and I poked in for a couple of seconds because golf was over. And I am not saying the NBA is ridiculous but the fact Chris Paul can jump on Howards back during a FT and Howard only gets 2 shots is beyond lame. I mean it hasn't even bounced off the rim yet and he's piggybacking his a**, really they don't get the ball too?

Matt Barnes is weak sauce, how does he start in the nba? On a playoff team no less. I would play Crawford in his spot, I know hes smaller but nobody can guard him

Golf is definitely where it's at if you are looking for extreme excitement!

Technically it's a loose ball foul. I'm not sure what is worse, the fact that we are seeing more and more of this or the fact that it is being accepted as good strategy. I think there should at least be an effort to make it look like a basketball play.

Sadly, it is good strategy. Speaks to how bad Howard, or Daniels, is from the line.

But the NBA has to do something about it. They need to find a way to at least tone it down.

Yeah hate to tell you sj in this case it's more excitement than the NBA for me - to each his own. Those 35 minute last 1:46 just don't work for me while people are running around fouling guys who can't shoot. But I do get it for those that like it, they are great great players. Just not for me.

At 55 there's only one I can play and be competitive in anymore too!

As far as extreme excitement though sj, the Rangers/Caps series and now the Lightning series is real excitement for sure, much more!
