Wow they just hung on

 

Phew!

[dineke]

And Amir that fourth quarter... I love him but holy fuk.

Rofl @ this guy. So much fail tonight

 

caught that lol.

 

Tough game, but Lowry came up with the big plays when needed. Not surprising they settled down when he came back off the bench.

Lol, f***ing hilarious.

[John_Havok]

If there's such a thing as bring horribly disgusted with a win, this would be it, but still happy.

 

In any case, just forget it, move on and seal it on Friday.

Three fouls on three point shots lol.

Pass to end the game, imagine it was stolen, right in front of our net.

Really you could have just passed it in front of their net, no way you catch and shoot and get it with one second left.

Or I'd just keep throwing it off the guy defending me's feet. Take off .1 second at a time. lol

Can't you just toss the ball very high onto New Jerseys court? It would be next to impossible for NJ to catch and shoot.

Time starts when someone touches the ball

[The Cats Ass]

But would you trust a guy that once shot free throws like this:

in a critical situation?

 

What happens when the other team jumps too quick? Does he get to shoot it again if it's a miss? If so it's actually a kinda smart play.

JV's playoff numbers so far:

 

29MPG

12.8PPG

10.8RPG

67% FG

 

Release the Jonas. He should be playing 36 mins a night minimum. Guy is a BEAST right now, especially on the boards.

Him going beast on Miami is the only chance we have of not getting swept.

They play MiA next? The tv people must be so pissed BRK lost

BRK hasn't lost yet. The series is 3-2 in favour of Toronto.

Oh. K. Outed myself as a casual. I try to keep up on who advances and watch games deeper into the playoffs. I, like many casuals, would be much more inclined to watch a BRK game. I could prob name 6 guys on that team, 0 on TOR. Sure I'm not alone on that

I'm a casual too. You forced me to look it up because for a second I thought I had somehow miscounted the games.

I'm curious on how Casey will play it (if we make it to Miami). I can see Jonas getting shafted for minutes if Casey matches Miami and goes small ball. Their starting lineup is Chalmers-Wade-Lebron-Haslem- Bosh. Stylistically it's the toughest matchup in the NBA for us i'd say

We just dont match up with them well at all. Even when Ross is on his game, he can't guard the bigger SF's of the league, let alone a Lebron james. Jonas is really the only advantage we have in the series as Bosh can't obviously guard him, and Haslem is really bad

Yea they get to shoot again if he misses, it counts if he makes it. It's only big men who shoot it like that, but it's not on purpose for a chance at a do over.

I get the feeling the first matchup Casey is going to try is Amir on Lebron as far some reason he had a bit of success (well, reasonable) but I also think we could be seeing 20+ mpg of Salmons...ugh

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I hate John Salmons but it is undeniable that he has shut down Joe Johnson when he's played against him.

 

I just HATE how willingly he chucks up terrible shots. He is a brutal shooter but provides some defensive value.

 

I don't think Ross will get > 10 MPG against Miami. Fields and Salmons please.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

The narrative will be "who can stop Lebron"... But who on Miami can stop Lowry? Who can limit JV?

 

Nobody gave Atlanta a chance against Indy. Not one pundit... and look what is happening. Lowry is playing out of his mind right now. He is single handedly beating a very good Brookyln team (and they are a good team with a lot of talent... They were one of the best teams in the NBA post Xmas).

 

All it'll take is Lebron is lose his shot and we have a chance. Miami is good but they're very beatable. The Raps are hungry.

No way I can get on board with limiting Ross minutes and giving Salmons minutes in a series where it will be higher scoring than this one.

 

Ross' defense has been great the last two games and in a run/gun type game I would much rather see him out there over Salmons. Not even close.

 

Like I said, I could see Amir/Pat being the main defenders of Lebron, with Ross on Wade, Demar on Haslem/James Jones/Ray Allen etc. and Jonas on Bosh

[over500]

Umm, LeBron.

Well...

Pacers going home tonight. What a disgrace. Down by double digits early.

[dineke]

Atlanta or Washington is making it into the ECF... lol.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

There will be a few of us down in/around Jurassic Park tomorrow night. If you're there hit me up!

[reedjohnsonfan]

Maybe it's too soon but this segment was pretty funny:

 

[Abomination]

Apparently Kidd is furious that the refs aren't giving them more calls (lol!)
