Arena The NBA Thread

Yeah I am guessing he gets a one game suspension there. Also as if getting past the Bulls wasn't going to be hard enough but Love may be out for a few weeks with a dislocated shoulder.

 

the love injury looked pretty bad. hard to see him playing in the next series. total cheap shot by olynyk. it was obviously on purpose and with the intent to injure. i love seeing teams get fired up and physical play but games like today's aren't basketball.

 

From what I've heard he might make it back in time for the NBA Finals of the Cavs make it that far. Of course that's all preliminary and there is no telling yet.

 

Damnit Kevin tell that shoulder to stop fitting out and FIT IN

 

Did he think he was the male version of Ronda Rousey?

 

I cannot believe how superior Washington looked in front of Toronto. The domination was complete.

 

From the sounds of things, at least two weeks (probably more) for Love, and at least two games (possibly more) for Smith.

****

So, game 1 and game 2, no Love and no JR Smith? Starting Kyrie/Shump/LeBron/Thompson/Mozgov, and first off the bench is Delly/Perk/Jones

Egad. Thompson and Mozgov need to be smart (no dumb fouls, no foul trouble) and Irving and James are going to need to play lights out for about 45 minutes a game.

 

and Bulls need to take advantage. Thompson has done the business in the past; but at least this does hurt your depth.

 

Might as well root for....

 

Going to be tough for T.T. and Timofey to stay out of foul trouble against the bigs that Chicago can throw at us. I had a bad feeling about this upcoming series (assuming it is the Bulls, and I think we are safe making that assumption) before. Now I have a really bad feeling about this. That Perkins foul I loved (he deserved an ejection though), that's a part of why he was brought over to the Cavs, but that Smith foul, he needed to be smarter than that. Still, horrible officiating throughout that game.

They made it look like the Raptors didn't even belong in the playoffs. I figured that for a six, maybe even seven game series. Just shows how little I know.

 

Guessing several for J.R.-- he's done it before, and while he's not Artest, Metta got 7 games for that Harden elbow. Hoping he returns to form after, and this isn't shades of the Jason Terry thing a few years back.

Loved him (though def excessive) and Perk sending a message though-- not just to the Celtics, but also to Kevin. If he had any real, not-media-blown-out doubts about staying in Ohio, these guys showed they're willing to go to bat for him (NOT AN ACTUAL BAT DO NOT PICK UP A BAT J.R.).

Also isn't that like the whole point of Perk being on the roster? lol

 

Uh people, Milwaukee isn't dead yet.

 

If they could come back that's great. I won't hold my breath though.

 

I hope that's not true. Never want to see people get injured, plus I feel like it would be a hollow victory for my team (the Bulls) if the Cavs were missing someone the caliber of Love.

 

HELL YEAH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT GERSH

Except is there anything more Cleveland than Kevin Love hitting the dagger in Game 3, getting injured by Boston, and opening a window for elimination by the Chicago Bulls-- featuring a Derrick Rose who is suddenly healthy for the first time in oh, conveniently, FOUR ****ING YEARS.

It's like this was planned by a deity who dislikes the sports teams of a particular region or something.

 

The Atlanta-Brooklyn series is becoming more interesting than I thought it would be.

 

Congrats on another win, darth_gersh. Now it's time for my Blazers to do the same thing!

 

THERE WE GO BUCKS

 

The Cleveland people are all like "Yep, keeeeeeeeeeeep playin'... draw it out, get tired... Lebron's going to Miami for 'vacation' for a week..."

 

Great win for the Bucks.
We get another home game. Derrick Rose looked tired tonight.

Cleveland might have found an extra day or two of rest.
It would be nice to see 3 upsets tonight.

 

Ugh well we couldn't have played much worse and were still in the game. We'll get Game 6.

 

I am so glad my Blazers avoided the sweep! On to game 5.
