Spurs or OKC. No team has made it to the finals 4 straight times since the 80s Celtics, nor has the worst rebounding team in league won the title OTHER than the Heat last year. I see that as the exception not the rule. Don't think Wade is healthy either.

The heat are the exception. They're not losing, unfortunately.

Yeah, I wish I could see OKC winning it all but I just don't. I would love to see a team like Memphis or Houston to win it but I don't see that either.

Big play by Barnes on each end. Good finish here.

So the regular season ending didn't magically fix the Pacers. Huh.

The Curse of Evan Turner? Brought some bad mojo over from Philly apparently.

I was surprised Indiana lost. I thought they'd figure things out - against Atlanta, anyways.

If they lose the series, is Vogel fired?

He really lost them the last 1/3 of the year....had it been Pat Riley instead of Larry Bird I'd guess Riley would fire him and take over.

I'm too lazy (and stupid) to run the numbers, but it'd be interesting to see how their playoff seeding would have changed if they played in the west over the last part of the season.

Heck, the Wizards could get to the ECF if they play like they did today...

Looking like a shitty game tonight turned into a very entertaining one. Aldridge doing work, 36 and 16. Would love for them to pull off the come back win.
