series dont start til the home team loses, right? >D
wouldve been ideal to win gm1, but pacers are far from out of it. series just began. will they win it, probably not, but i do think they can drag it to 6/7
miami has its flaws

All this talk about the Pacers being done after losing game 1 in OT is not a good assumption. There is way more pros than cons Indy can take from that game. It won't be over until Miami beats the pacer on their floor. If the pacers lose today and then win both games at home it's still 2-2.
 
Raptors trying to rebrand like how bluejays recently did. New name, colors, unis representing Canada better. Plan would go into full effect if they win the bid for 2016 AS Game because it would be the Raptors 20th anniversary.

Nuggets give permission to Raptors to speak with Ujiri who are planning to offer him an annual salary of 3 mil which Denver will not match.
 
Anyone else annoyed by the big dosage of PJ CARLISEMO as the new NBA Analyst on Sportscenter?
No one want's to hear his scruffy *** voice discuss the NBA...

I have to keep changing the channel everytime he's on. :{
 
Steve Javie is annoying too. Dude is still protecting the refs so there was no point in ESPN hiring him. :{
 
^^^ I actually think PJ's a decent analyst, but his voice and delivery certainly can get irritating.

Yeah I mean i see what your saying.
He's not like Magic, he can actually speak and dissect basketball with good knowledge and articulation.

BUT THAT VOICE, DOE. Not even close to television friendly. :x :x :x

It was funny listening to him tryna explain why that foul on Tony Allen was a flagrant. He was trying so hard to defend the call.

Dude really does defend the refs on every call they make though... :rollin
If ESPN hired him for good television, they are not getting their moneys worth.
Dude has become the most predictable 'analyst' in television.
He'll NEVER disagree with his boys in the stripes. :x :lol
 
People saying this series is over are dead wrong. The Pacers lost a game they should have stolen but they still should feel good about this matchup especially after game 1. Indiana is not the Bulls. This is a 6 or 7 games series IMO.

indiana is not the bulls but miami is still miami........basically if they win 3 in a row they will be in great shape, but odds of that are very low. if they 2-2 they have to beat miami 2 out of 3 including one in miami......still a tough task

but hey ill be watching tonight and hoping the pacers win

and psycho T needs more minutes...mahimi is useless just play T at the 5 when hibbert rests not like miami gonna post anyone up on the low block

NOPE :lol


The former NFL ref Mike Pereira is the opposite though. He'll call out the NFL refs for making mistakes.

Basketball is about matchups. The Pacers matchup perfectly with the Heat. I'm not saying they're going to win but they're not out of this series by any stretch out the imagination. 
 
Chicago Bulls trainer Fred Tedeschi won the NBA’s Athletic Trainer of the Year Award. Seriously.

Chicago Bulls head athletic trainer Fred Tedeschi has won the 2012-13 Joe O’Toole NBA Athletic Trainer of the Year Award. The honor was revealed by the team’s website on Friday.
Fred Tedeschi is the trainer for a team that cleared former Bulls center Omer Asik to play in the 2011 NBA playoffs with a broken leg.
Tedeschi is on the staff of a team that presided over the mishandling of Luol Deng’s infamous absence in the 2013 playoffs, when the Bulls announced Deng’s severe reaction to a spinal tap procedure (one that Deng himself had to personally disclose on Twitter, after the Bulls denied a procedure took place) as “flu-like symptoms.”
Deng also played through the last two months of the season with a fractured thumb, when he was cleared as game-workable, alongside torn ligaments in the same hand.
Fred was also on the staff when center Joakim Noah – who has a history of falling prey to plantar fasciitis due to overuse – averaged 40 minutes a game for the first three months of the season. The Bulls staff also has an Internet connection, which would reveal that Noah runs more during those particular minutes than any other player in the NBA.
Noah was also cleared to play during the 2012 playoffs in a game that saw him severely sprain his ankle, an injury that would knock Noah out of the Olympics some three months later.
Tedeschi last won the award in 2007, two years before the Bulls sent out a letter regarding Luol Deng, telling the media that Deng should be undertaking something called “active rest” to work himself toward "expeditious return to play." The Bulls training staff then "encouraged [Deng] to challenge himself physically."
Luol Deng got a second opinion from another doctor, who revealed that Deng had a broken right leg. Something not enough “active rest” in the world can heal.
Congratulations to Tedeschi and the rest of the Chicago Bulls.

no clue how that even happened

they should have stolen because paul george hit a prayer 3 at the end of regulation, and got a foul called on another prayer 3 at the end of OT?

if ray allen makes both free throws at the end of regulation, the game would have been over. stop it with the "should have stolen" crap

ESPN didn't hire him for good television, NBA hired him to bring credibility to the refs.

We complain about the officiating; he's there to tell us we're stupid and biased, and we don't know how to do their job
 
would atlanta be willing to trade al horford?!

there was mention of it in bill simmons' recent bs report with zach lowe.. any truth there?

cant be.. especially at his contract (which is nice)
