There's absolutely no way Thunder and Pacers lose Game 4 right?

[Solefade]

maybe indy, but OKC i would bet a million bucks on them winning...we're about to see the second greatest tragedy in sports :roll:

[MMM]

Mem and Atl just need to win 2 of 4 games with 2 at home and already beaten their opponent on the road. Not looking good for the high seeds in those series. Their coaching staffs aint exactly known for making adjustments as well.

[russwest0]

Adam Silver about to send out the Crawford officiating duo to do work :applause:

[Solefade]

i'm implying the NBA about to make some very favorable calls for the higher seeds my niqqas

[Real14]

it feel like its getting rigged again to me, rollin' out that red carpet for lebronna and superfriendz to win their 3rd consecutive asterisk ring:facepalm

[russwest0]

It's pretty obvious what outcome the league wants, it doesn't necessarily mean they are going to get the desired result though. For example, they aren't gonna go full 2006 finals rigging mode just to have the no Rose Bulls beat the Wiz.

Pacers vs Bulls
Heat vs Nets

Pacers vs Heat

Thunder vs Clippers
Rockets vs Spurs

Thunder vs Rockets

Thunder vs Heat

Heat

Is the ideal scenario for the NBA.

[All Net]

OKC yes, pacers who knows.

nope.


they don't care who makes it out of the east but ideally the ratings go up when lebron and the heat are about to lose that's why last years ECF and finals heat were not favored for the calls..and i'm not saying it was rigged but they def did not go the heat's way

Thursday night’s NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 on ESPN – the Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics to even their series at 3-3 – generated an 8.2 overnight rating, the highest overnight for an NBA game ever on cable (records back to 2003), according to Nielsen. The 8.2 for Game 6 surpasses the previous record, a 7.9 for Game 4 of this series, as the best overnight ever.

There is no chance in hell the NBA lets the Thunder go down 3-1. We saw how one sided the refs have been so far in that series, it'll be even worse in Game 4. Pacers look completely shot, even if they win this series it doesn't look like they'll do anything else.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

the officiating for parts of last game was already very bad.
Memphis shot 9 FTa before OKC started intentionally fouling and OKC shot 26. at least 8-10 OKC FT have been absolute BS calls. weak ass soft ass calls.
then Gasol and Randolph got murdered all night and shot what, 4 FTA??
since last game was essentially already rigged i doubt the refs gonna rig another Memphis home game:confusedshrug:
memphis might have a chance:coleman:

[BrownEye007]

:biggums: If anything the calls went in the Heats favor in the finals last year. Especially game 6 and 7. Everybody talks about Ray Allen's 3 saving Lebrons legacy but there was a bad call at the end of that game that really benefited the heat.

an old ass jump shooting spurs team shot 50 more fta in the series than miami:biggums:
totally the heat were favored:coleman:

[red1]

thunder will win their series, indiana probably not

[red1]

OKC yes, pacers who knows.
:bowdown:

[Dro]

I agree with All Net...OKC yes, Pacers, who knows...I wouldn't bet money on it...

[GetBuckets]

thunder will win their series, indiana probably not

I dont see Indiana winning their series either. And OKC better step up, it is not looking that good for them either.

lol chop it up anyway you want but the heat were getting hosed all series

[brownmamba00]

memphis in 6

indy in 7

[trabash]

Hm, the Grizzlies are actually a good team. The Hawks however are not, they are by far the worst team in the Playoffs and in my opinion Pacers can only lose the series by beating themselves, we will see.

[dazzer87]

OKC no way NBA letting them drop game 4. Pacers yes cause nobody care about them.....
