Devastated about Rose's ACL. Just caps off an injury plagued season.

Not good to hear about Shumpert as well, bad start to the Playoffs injury wise.

Funny to see Orlando get the win though.

Great finish with Durant winning it with 1.5 seconds remaining

Had a poor shooting night yet still comes up with the winner. The kid is clutch.

Yeah pacers didn't score last 4.30 or so.

What a clutch shot my kd. I thought Dallas had it. They would be absolutely gutted

thoughts on how much trouble rondo will get in for his chest bump on the ref?

Has to get a suspension. No way was it an accident as Boston are trying to claim. Officials should be totally sacrosanct when it comes to deliberate physical contact, so I'd say it's not that far from MWP's elbow in terms of seriousness. Rondo has no history though (as far as I'm aware) so I'd say 3 games would be fair. But the NBA has always had a culture of stars getting more leeway, especially in the playoffs and those who play in big markets so I'm tipping 1 game will be the penalty.

[Johno6]

will be a load of BS if he gets off

also hows clippers come back... 20 odd points down half way through the last and win by a point!!

[Dissident]

Finish by the Clippers was just wrong.
Or rather, by Memphis.

Looking forward to getting home to watch the last quarter.

Bynum Triple double (10 blocks)

Yeah that too. Hadn't got that far

[brod]

Spurs 106 - 91 Jazz
- Parker 28pts (10/19FG) 8 assists
- Duncan 17pts (7/14FG) 11 reb, 5 ast
- Patty Mills got the reality check..2 min 1 assist

Lakers 103 - 88 Nuggets
- Bynum first Lakers Playoff triple double in 21 years (10pts, 13reb, 10 blocks)
- Nuggets starting backcourt shoots 6/22FG (Afflalo & Lawson both 3/11) as the team shots 36%

Hawks 83 - 74 Celtics
- Rondo gets ejected after giving ref a chest bump....cos he tripped, yeah and Shaq was a clutch free throw shooter
- Josh Smith grabs 18 boards to go with 22 points
- Ray Allan does not suit and misses his first career playoff game
- Joe Johnson still loves to shoot...0/9 3pts FGA, Celtics were even worse behind the arc...0/11 3pts FGA
- Rondo had been having a great game before he was a wanker (20pts 10/18FG, 11 ast, 4 steals, only 1 TO)

Clippers 99 - 98 Grizzlies
- The Clippers came back from 21 at three quarter time (tied record) and were down 95-71 with 9:13 left to play
- The Grzzlies shot 11/16 3 pointers
- CP3 and Blake combined for just 3 points in the first half
- Butler broke his hand fighting through a screen

[Johno6]

Rondo gets 1 game.....

and i thought our system was bad

[Grahaml]

Rondo's suspension is right on what I thought it would be. Doesn't exactly send a message about making contact with refs to intimidate them unfortunately. Pretty soft decision really. Yet still those in Boston are crying injustice.

Miami take a 2-0 lead over New York with a fairly comfortable win. Anthony had much more of an impact this time around but needed to shoot a higher percentage or go through his big men more.

[Jim05]

Pacers comfortable win over the Magic in Game 2.
Thunder by 3 over Mavs, Terry had 2 shots to tie it up at death

[brod]

OKC 102-99 Dallas (OKC 2-0)
- Terry misses two potential game tieing shots in the last five second
- Durant scores 26 (5/17FG), gets 10 boards, but has 7 TOs
- Westbrook 29pts (10/21FG)
- Dirk 31pts (10/19FG)

Miami 104-94 New York (Miami 2-0)
- Biggest news was Amare punched a glass panel in the locker room, cut his hand and may miss Game 3
- Big 3 all have string games for Heat (Wade 25pts, 11/18FG, LBJ 19pts, 8/18FG, 9ast, 7reb Bosh 21pts 7/12FG)
- Carmello 30pts (12/26FG) 9reb

Indiana 93-78 Orlando (tied 1-1)
- Magic shoot 35% (Davis 5/16FG, Nelson 4/13FG)

Always enjoy your wrap up BROD ... Great work. Hoping my boys can get through with minimum games ... pretty weak decision on Rondo . Goes to show the difference between other sports and that of the US . they touch the ref regularly. Whether its having a laugh or not. Just creates a grey area and when these occasions occur they always look for the easy way out .

[RoosterMarty]

Amar'''''''''''e is an idiot. When you are on the coin he is on you can't go around punching fire extinguishers and (possibly) missing Playoff games.

HeaveHo I don't think you have much to worry about in the East, I can't see the Pacers troubling you in 7 games. Then it depends who you play in the Conference Finals, if the Bulls fluke their way through we won't beat you without Rose. Boston could cause you problems going by the way they played against you in the regular season, Atlanta are too up and down to knock you guys off.
