Strider Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Gentlemen, it's quite simple...winner of #1 vs. #8 plays winner of #4 vs. #5, #2 vs. #7 plays #3 vs. #6 winners. So, if the top seeds win this first round, the semi-final round would be as follows: WEST: OKC vs. Clippers; San Antonio vs. Denver EAST: Miami vs. Brooklyn; NY vs. Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Golden st may just knock Denver out. So then what? I do not have the order in front of me as I know OKC was number one and San Anton was number two. So if Golden st pulls the upset, I assume they play OKC. and the Clippers play San Antonio? I like our chances. I like Golden States chances alot more now than going into game two. I was shocked at the game two win without their big boy in the paint. I know Denver has a major injury also. Golden st has been tough at home all year so no reason to think they cant win this thing. GO CLIPPERS!!! Who's gonna stop CP? Who's gonna stop Blake? Who's gonna stop Crawford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Once again, the WINNERS move on to the next bracket, no matter what team wins. So it doesn't matter if Golden State upsets Denver...the Clippers are locked into Oklahoma's side of the bracket. It's just like the NCAA college basketball brackets...only with 16 teams instead of 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say ye Rick? This is a true nightmare for OKC. I never celebrate an injury to a great player. I feel bad for them, but yes, it certainly changes things and in a huge way. OKC is no way the favorite without him. San Antonio may smell blood. Let them. Do not be fooled by one game the Clips lost to Memphis last night. You will see a different Clippers team tomorrow. I love the Clippers in the West. I have a future on them also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Awww, Strider. But look on the bright side, the Lakers have what, 16 NBA titles in their back pocket. That should ease your pain, I think... Well, it looks like I'll be getting no help from those lame ass Celtics, so here's hoping Indiana can immobilize the Knicks in round 2. Rick's Clippers on today at 4:30, I think I may watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I bet on Atlanta and parlayed them with Houston. I believe Indiana wins the series but Atlanta is not that bad and should win today. I also think Houston will smash OKC off Westbrooke's injury as they have to be a bit unnerved by this development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I still like the Thunder despite Westbrook's injury but we'll see. The Clippers may have a golden ticket to the Western Conference finals, if not the NBA Finals, but first things first. You got to beat Memphis.

Strider Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 This Nets/Bulls game is never going to end. 2OTs so far...which is delaying the coverage of the Clippers game. Thanks, Paul, for your sympathy earlier. Us Laker fans do have 16 championships to get us through the bad times. The West just opened wide for both the Clippers and Spurs with OKC, Denver, and Golden State losing key players to injury. Not to mention San Antonio getting the Lakers without Kobe. Can you imagine the odds you could have gotten in Vegas at the start of the season betting that the Lakers would start their #5 and #6 guards in the playoffs?

paul carruthers Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Well, that's the Clippers ass. Better luck in Game 5 hopefully when you get back to Staples Center, although Game 6 will be in Memphis. Whoo boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Miami going for the sweep today, hope they can take care of business & in the secound round I won't be taking the Bulls lightly at all. Chicago could push them to 7 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEPFAN17 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Celtics trying to avoid getting swept...the scene is set one last shot for Boston As time is running winding down Pierce gets the ball shoots...and misses NY gets the rebound with 4 seconds on the clock and we go to OT I can't take much more..they are terrible in all 4 games in the second half..
