2012 NBA Playoffs

The playoffs are here! Time for Maverick title defense!

Danny Granger with one of the biggest choke jobs ever.
D-Rose's torn ACL pretty much means Miami wins the east.

Meanwhile in the west, can the old guys in Dallas and San Antonio do it again? Can the Lakers get their head's straight? Are Memphis or the Clippers ready to compete for the trophy?
Can OKC win in crunch time?

I wonder if the Bulls will play well without Rose in the playoffs just like they did in the regular season. Not quite Ewing Theory territory, but it's awfully close.

The Heat-Knicks game was physically painful to watch after about midway through the second quarter.

The Mavs Thunder game was very good. Of course everyone seems to be hitting last second shots on Dallas this year.

Two guys out with ACL injuries. Nasty.

It's always amusing how Memphis's crowd goes from empty to one of the most raucous in the league during the playoffs.

It's a problem for humanity because the Hawks are torture to watch.

Yeah, but they'll lose in the next round anyway. And the Celtics don't get anywhere close to a title. I'm completely okay with this.

 

[Kraznaya]

Never trust the Hawks.

 

[Dachs]

Never trust the Hawks.

Oh, sure, I agree. I refuse to make any actual predictions for this round. But if the Celtics were to lose, that'd be a Good Thing.

So much for the Mavs title defense. I guess I'll root for Memphis now.

Man, all these injuries are making it hard for me to stay invested in the playoffs. This season was so weird.

 

[Kraznaya]

I feel like the media is trying to manipulate a spectacular Game 4 out of Melo with this recent spate of "overrated" columns.

Or it could just be the New York media being the typical New York media.
