KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted April 25, 2011 Best team in the east is lookin like the Hawks tonight Hawks look impressive. Never would of thought they'd be up on Orlando 3-1. However, tonight was a close game and aside from the short comeback attempt New York made in the 4th, Boston straight dominated them two games in a row on their court.

Packers Dynasty 2010 116 Posted April 25, 2011 The Hawks should have swept the Magic and their wins should have been by a lot bigger margin. No chance are they better than the Celtics and will probably get beat by the Bulls next round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FIDDYDEUCE 81 Posted April 25, 2011 Atlanta could very well beat Chicago. They should have closed out the Magic awhile ago as it is. They're flying under the radar this year but they could very well be a threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Durant4MVP Posted April 25, 2011 Chris Paul against LAL: 23/15/13 - Holy shit. Best team in the east is lookin like the Hawks tonight They're definitely not looking better than Boston...Orlando is just awful. Howard can't carry that team on his back in the playoffs like he can the regular season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Boston isn't looking that good...NYK just looked like shit. Everybody but the Pacers and Sixers would have swept them in four. Edited April 25, 2011 by BwareDWare94 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted April 25, 2011 Defensively they've been great. They have been shooting effectively and more importantly every star has stepped it up. Oneal has been the key and with Miami in the next round we won't need a big man in Perkins. If Boston plays like they have the last two games, they will be in the Finals.

Guest Durant4MVP Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Someone will need to challenge Wade and 'Bron at the rim, and they'll take it to Jermaine. They have Nenad Krstic to do that... In all seriousness though, who in Miami is going to stop Rondo? Edited April 25, 2011 by Durant4MVP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JetsFan4Life 542 Posted April 26, 2011 So......Memphis is up 3-1 in the series on the Spurs and just blew them out. I only know this because my friend is a Grizzlies fan.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted April 26, 2011 Rondo is self-check from the perimeter. Thats what NY thought... Can't believe it but looks like San Antonio is done. I have a hard time seeing them win 3 in a row at this point. If they are eliminated, that could end a reign of dominance as I think they'd have to reshape the team.

If they are eliminated, that could end a reign of dominance as I think they'd have to reshape the team. Oh ya, the Spurs dominance is over for now but they do have a bunch of young guys waiting. Looking at the roster they have somebody new waiting to take the lead when the Big Three do call it quits. This season the new scheme of pushing the breaks and going for 3s just killed them. Parker has been too wild during the breaks and has turned it over way too many times, while the 3pt shooting this playoff series has been horrendous. If the Spurs did knock down their shots, they would be up 3-1 instead of the other way around. They just need to get defensive again and pick up a PF as I do not see Blair making it as a PF, rather see him at SF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted April 26, 2011 I actually see San Antonio coming back to win. It sucks, but I happen to think it's in the cards and will play out that way. I hate to be a downer, and I hate San Antonio, but I see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parker might not want to play in SA for much longer too. Also, I wonder how much longer Pop wants to coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to be a downer, and I hate San Antonio, but I see it happening. They're up 3-1 for the same reason I've said all along OKC would beat SAS in the second round: size and speed. Memphis is a big, physical, fast team and just about everyone on the roster can put points on the board. San Antonio is too small to compete with them.

I've already said that SA is a fluke #1 seed, and if there ever was a fluke #8 seed, it's probably this Memphis squad. They'll play with OKC in the second round, my friend.

.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted April 26, 2011 lol @ everyone on ESPN and sports websites talking about how "SA is bad now, they're doing everything wrong". Don't guess Memphis has had anything to do with this 3-1 lead, and it's all on SA just being bad now. People used Ginobili as the excuse for game 1, despite the fact that we're without our best/2nd best player in Rudy Gay, too. It's a joke. Hope Memphis can keep this up in the 2nd round to prove everyone wrong(though I'm doubting it to be honest). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
