LaMarcus Aldridge hospitalized <-- Clicky thing
Man, with Brandon Roy, Greg Oden and now LaMarcus getting smacked around, you gotta wonder if the Rose Garden is really cursed.
Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

I really hope I don't jinx it, but right now, Serge Ibaka is 10/10 from the field and 4/4 for free throws. That man, and Kendrick Perkins are going off tonight. Fucking awesome display by both teams tonight.

LeHeat win the Title yet?

Serge is a menice on the court. The thing with him is he was present on both ends were other times he is mostly def only. But last night showing a offensive game made him the key player last night that made the difference, then add Perkins as icing on the cake. Now the WCF is the game we expected

I love how LeWhine flexes when he missed that 3 pointer. He knew he missed ON PURPOSE to allow the Celtics back into the series.

Still don't know how the Celtics can be back tied though. The LeHeat should've been able to win even with their eyes closed and hands tied.
So, must be because the Le[Names] felt sorry for Boston and felt the Celtics should have some feel-good and get some wins. Mortals need to feel some grace from the LeGawds, after all.

I hope another cannibalist finds Rondo when he gets here. He might have skills on the court but he can go fuck himself. Acutally all Boston players other than Ray Allen and doc can kiss our ass.

This is an interesting situation. Both Conference Finals are tied up at 2, with both favored teams seemingly struggling against their opponents. I guess the only question to ask is, who should be more worried at this point, Heat or Spurs?
Whatever the case is, Celtics are still old and busted the fuck up. Rondo and KG are the only lights in Boston's tunnel, we can clearly see the difference when one or the other is on bench, especially Garnett. Miami built their entire comeback on the fact that Garnett was on the bench the majority of the time.
On the other side, OKC still has no offensive inside presence, despite Collison/Ibaka/Perkins lifting the team last game.

I had heard stories that Lebron could actually foul out, but I never thought we would ever see it. It's like an eclipse, we probably won't see it happen again for a few years...

Yesterday was definitely an anomaly, shitty calls and no-calls that went both ways. Lebron's a smart defender, only averages 2 fouls a game or something while still remaining near the top for DPOY and/or First Defensive Teams. I was on the line between shocked and happy that he was fouled out.
I think the one that ground my gears the most was a no-call where Ray Allen clearly stepped out of bounds but the lack of a call led to a pass to Keyon Dooling for a 3-pointer in the corner. I'm all for Celtics, but I'd rather see the officiating at least be competent.

The Heat not only have lost 2 in a row they almost lost the last 3. SPO should be shot for not knowing by now how to run a play at the end of the game. 2 games in this series the Heat failed to close the deal in regulation because of no play or horrible play calls.
The Thunder on the other hand have overachieved the last 2 games and now its back to reality going back to San Antonio where they won't be able to the same things.

The optimistic thing I can say about the Thunder is, how young and underdeveloped they are. Think about it, Ibaka is only 22. He has so much room to grow into an offensive weapon as well as a DPOY, and there's no better stage to grow than the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if he can keep up his offensive growth. Same with Harden, dude is only 22. Durant and Westbrook, their ages are considered rookie-level. I really have no doubt they can pull the series out; but at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs take it since they're so experienced. Plus they got Pop. The WCFs are a perfect example of youth vs experience. I like it.

The Heat and the Thunder should be worried.

Actually, I ran into this .. apparently Spo DID call a play for OT -- and the ball was meant for Chalmers. TL;DR: Spo designed screens for a Chalmers shot near the corner, but Wade didn't play along, played hero ball instead. It became obvious reading this then looking at Chalmers' body language as the play went through.

Ah, yeah, in that case, there wasn't any sort of excuse lol.
Spurs seem to have lost the magic that gave them the 20-game win streak. As a Thunder fan, I'm almost .. disappointed.

Oh my goodness gracious, what a game. Thunder fell apart in the 3rd quarter and almost faltered near the end, my heart was gonna give out until Harden's last 3.

Great game. The Thunder have really grown up...My fellow Sun Devil, James Harden took the air out of that place...
