So far in the Western Conference Playoffs:

Spurs/Mavs: Game 1 was a burn-burner that required a 19-4 run in the last 6 minutes or so for the Spurs to win. Game 3 was decided on a buzzer beater from a guy whose career best in-game basketball moment prior to this one was a dunk he had in what was essentially an international practice game. This was supposed to be the easiest series, and the 1 seed is trailing.

OKC/Grizz: After a Game 1 blowout, we've had 3 straight overtime games. Three, and the series is tied. Amidst Westbrook/Allen doing both criminally insane and athletically brilliant things on a basketball court, Durant hitting the best 4-point play I've ever seen in my life, and a 6th man hitting shots with grapefruit sized nuts to save his team's season on the road, it's easy to forget that this is round one and the winner of this probably has to play the Clippers for a right to be 2 series away from maybe winning a title. The 2014 Western Conference, everybody!

Clippers/Warriors: After a 40-point blowout, it looked as though we finally found our cakewalk series in the West. This idea was reinforced by a missed last shot (coughblatantuncalledfoulthateverybodyiscoolwithbecauseit'schrispaulandhecandothatkindashitforsomereasoncough) from Steph Curry that sucked the air out of the arena. Then an owner said some ignorant shite and the players seemed genuinely distracted and Curry went ape-shite. The result? A 2-2 series. Say what you will about Golden State, I would not frick around with a team that can get hot and shoot like that. One good night where Curry/Thompson both go nuts and they're unbeatable. Oracle is not the place to be in a must-win scenario.


Houston/Blazers: I know the Houston fans have been getting a hard time, but with 3/4 overtime games with the fourth game coming down to the last few possessions as well, this is actually in my opinion the closest series. Not a single blowout for either side; both teams were just as close to getting swept as they were to sweeping.


So that's the West. Meanwhile in the east, the Heat are prison raping the Bobcats whose best player got hurt 10 minutes into Game 1, and the most interesting thing that's happened in that series is jesus elbowing Lebron in the throat before he inexplicably stared down MJ. Gripping stuff there!

The Wiz have been awesome to watch, though, and I hope they at least scare the Heat in the ECF.

shite, you're right.












Thanks

I'll help you Sabi.

Thanks, breh


@Klark:

I thought the stare down was awesome. It was kinda dickish.

It was absolutely dickish. I didn't think it was awesome, because like I said it was a first round blowout against the fricking Bobcats.

I just want c on z to answer the question since he ran away yesterday when I asked him.

Not really. I haven't watched a single Heat/Bobcats game because they aren't fun to watch.

Good theater is what is happening in the entire Western Conference right now. Good theater is games that come down to the wire. Not one player making a showboat move on one play.

I enjoy the drama of the NBA. What LeBron did was great theater.

go watch soap operas then

i enjoy good basketball

Maybe by the Lebron fanboys, but that play really didn't mean anything other than Lebron being a douche and Jordan being a bitch with his response.

What was Jordan's response?
