****. Guess I wont be able to catch the rest of the playoff matches tonight. Was looking forward to the clippers and hawks games

 

[Tacket]

Somebody help me...

[Hot_ArmS]

wow, im literally watching it right now 30 min in. Complete opposite tho, i started watching with low expectations and thats what im getting so far. I have to work tonight so ill probably finish watching it on my lunchbreak so I can take a nap now.

Where are you watching it?

Also hawks beasting, scoring like crazy and the quarters only halfway done

 

[The Real Gamer]

Wtf I just tuned in and the hawks are winning by 12 in the first? 0.o

[brownsheep]

theyll mess it up somehow

 

[theeboredone]

Jason Collins started for 3 minutes? That must be demoralizing lmao.

 

[brownsheep]

ouch he's like that disabled kid that coach throws in to be nice and make dreams come true

 

[Tacket]

No, he's starting because Al and Zaza are hurt. That's not even funny, kid.

HAcoreRD

 

[theeboredone]

You didn't get the joke Tacket.

This day of playoffs suck. Everything has been blowout.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

clippers and grizzlies SHOULD be closer though

i hope

 

[theeboredone]

How many Blake Griffin commercials will we see during the Clips/Grizz game?

 

[Nike.]

I'll say 5.

 

[Tacket]

PUT JOSH, JOE, TEAGUE, AND HINDRICH BACK IN!
COME ON LARRY DREW!

HAcoreRD

 

[Tacket]

TAKE COLLINS OUT THE GAME!
HE'S GARBAGE!

JOE, IF YOU'RE 0/9, STOP SHOOTING 3's!

HAcoreRD

 

[Nike.]

That Josh Smith jumper with KG in his face was super clutch.

 

[Tacket]

RONDO EJECTED!
MAY GET SUSPENDED.
GAME OVER!
T AND FOUL!
YOU GUYS SAID I WAS CRAZY!
BASS FOULED OUT!
AAAAAAAAAH!
JOSH MAKES 3/4 FOUL SHOTS ON T AND FOUL PLAY!
AAAAAAAAAH!

HAcoreRD

 

[Hot_ArmS]

rondo totally tripped

 

[Nike.]

Man, if that was jumpball, only 2 seconds left on the shotclock. Completely different game after that.
0/11 at 3pointers. Really needed Ray Allen.

Gonna be a great series.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

touche tacket

still say 4-2 celts

 

[theeboredone]

Didn't see it. Is Rondo gonna get suspended?

Tacket, no one said you were crazy if the Hawks won a game lol.

 

[Tacket]

AAAAHDSSDDFCCZ!
HAWKS WIN!
START OF THE SWEEP!
NO RONDO NEXT GAME!

HAcoreRD

 

[ahchoomattchu]

We won't know about Rondo until tomorrow maybe.

The Hawks need to continually be running/on their transition game to beat the Celtics. When it slowed down in the second half, their lackluster halfcourt game enabled the Celtics to catch up.

Ugly shooting night by the Celtics, but this series is looking to be real good.

 

[theeboredone]

What did he do?

 

[Nike.]

• 4 point game, 2 seconds left on shotclock, possible jumpball, really good situation for Celtics
• defensive foul on the Celtics
• Rondo mouths off for a technical
• Continues to jaw at the ref, takes a step foward and kinda trips against the refs heel, forcing a little bump
• Ref throws him out
• Hawks get 4 straight free throws to ice the game
• Steve Kerr pointing out that the league could look at the replay and possibly suspend for ref contact

I do sympathize with the Celtics, there was about 3 tough calls on them in the final few minutes. But they put themselves in that hole.

 

[Tacket]

What did he do?

He bumped a ref.

HAcoreRD

 

[theeboredone]

Well if he tripped, not sure if that warrants a suspension. I'll just have to see the video later when it's uploaded.

Just saw the video...I think it wouldn't have mattered if he tripped on him or not, but no suspension.

He didn't trip.

[theeboredone]

Man, I have no idea what Rondo was saying, but the refs have to let it go. Final moments of the game, and you're gonna give a player a T? In a playoff game?

 

[Nike.]

Oh well. Time for another good game.

Got $20 on the Clippers winning this series (wtf was I thinking? lol). Praying for many flops!!!

 

[theeboredone]

Blake Griffin airballs game winning Free throw.

 

[ahchoomattchu]

Z-Bo's back in the starting lineup. ooooooo

 

[Malice Chains]

Where are you watching it?

my laptop lol

It's thoughts like that that create all the bull**** calls in the league nowadays.

Is Teague a nobody now KG?

HAcoreRD

 

[Nike.]

Yea, idk wtf I was thinking by betting the clips

HAcoreRD

Explain please?

 

[Tacket]

Explain please?

Rondo insulted the ref and bumped him. It's his job to give fair calls, it doesn't matter if it's a close Playoffs game down the stretch or not, they have to do their job. For them to give some sort of leniency just because it's a Playoffs game is stupid and corrupt.

[Bowser King]

Such a bad foul call, it should have been jump ball. Still hoping boston might come back to win this even with the potential Rondo suspension (hopefully its only 1 game).

 

[ahchoomattchu]

Oh man, when Z-Bo went down, I was like "Not again..."

Gets up and does push-ups. trololol

 

[Tacket]

If Rondo's gone then it is 2-0 Atlanta. BRADLEY cannot handle Teague. We need to keep up the defense and stay consistent and we can hold it down for the sweep.
