SevenSeven: SmackLT: SevenSeven: The NBA is in trouble if Fark can't get to 500 posts tonight on a big night for all involved. I can't believe that hockey threads CONTINUE TO crush nba threads.
I'm ok with this btw, just surprised.
GO GREEN!

Fark is in trouble if it takes more than 15 posts before the inevitable the "NHL threads have more posts, LOL" people are showing up. You need to step your game up.

this could be a fun, funny night. I have struck a nerve.
I love brett favre.

Not really. It's just tedious, and it's every. single. thread. Unless you actually believed you were the first to make the observation, in which case I'd like to nominate you for a Romero.

Gunny Highway: Waxing_Chewbacca: Celts need to settle down a bit

Bad on the defensive end? Or both ends?

I think it was Game 3 when they settled in on the defensive on mid way through the 3rd. Here is hoping tonight is similar.

Gunny Highway: GhettoWinter: Rozotorical: Gunny Highway: ESPN announced today that there will be a new ESPY called, The Vlade Divac for Best Actor in an NBA game.

"And the Vlade goes to.....BLAKE GRIFFIN!'

CP3 was robbed.

you guys are so cute together

You guys will get the Spurs in the next round. The flopping will be glorious.

/just busting chops.

this dude's a joke. you can see in last night's thread he had no defense for the travesty that is Clippers basketball and once people started posting videos and GIFs of his team looking like fools, he bailed.

Hope so. They should be up but they haven't locked down on D.

Bass leads all scorers on the Celtics with 13?

SmackLT: Bass leads all scorers on the Celtics with 13?

This is telling. It is great to see Bass get his game going but disappointing that nobody else decided to show up.

This game is getting out of hand. Let's get a few stops here Green.

Waxing_Chewbacca		2012-05-08 09:49:01 PM

This is the game for c's. Right now. Over the limit and down in the third. Locked down the D and tie it up now or its game 6.

Gunny Highway		2012-05-08 09:49:32 PM

Shut up and play, Paul.

KG has 12. I think they've just been spreading the offense around.

/What a biatch move by Horford.

Waxing_Chewbacca		2012-05-08 09:50:54 PM

Wtf! Rebound!!!!!

Gunny Highway		2012-05-08 09:51:53 PM

Is that a "Paul Pierce Sucks" or "Let's Go Hawks" chant?

Celtics inability to rebound on the defensive end may result in a broken television.

Kenny B		2012-05-08 09:53:48 PM

Go Hawks! Please?

A bit, but Ray Allen only has 7 and Rondo only has 5.

Gunny Highway		2012-05-08 09:54:59 PM

Hollins caught the ball? Baby steps.

Gunny Highway		2012-05-08 09:55:42 PM

What the fark is that shot, Rondo? Run the offense.

ThrnPhl		2012-05-08 09:55:50 PM

Celtics, you are the stronger team. Put these biatches to sleep.

Gunny Highway		2012-05-08 09:57:31 PM

HERE WE GO!

BIG D TIME!

Rondo: OH HAI

Gunny Highway		2012-05-08 09:58:20 PM

Run a play here. Get it to a one possession game going in the 4th

Waxing_Chewbacca		2012-05-08 09:59:03 PM

Oh Christ!!!! Here we go!!!! Rondo taking over!!!

Gunny Highway		2012-05-08 09:59:39 PM

I am not huge on Rondo shooting the 3 being the primary offense but I am loving the scrappy (Hawks are playing sloppy) play.

LETS GO C's!

SmackLT		2012-05-08 10:00:09 PM

Rondo's on fire, the C's look totally different when he finds his groove.

ThrnPhl		2012-05-08 10:06:01 PM

Sick!

Ha, I was at that game with a buddy of mine. He went out for concessions or the bathroom(I forget which) right before that happened.

Waxing_Chewbacca		2012-05-08 10:10:55 PM

SmackLT: Rondo's on fire, the C's look totally different when he finds his groove.

Yeah. There is a local sports radio maroon who says Rondo is the third most important player on the Celtics like that is an insult. I would argue he is the most important but that would be playing into his game.

Waxing_Chewbacca		2012-05-08 10:12:33 PM

Ray Allen.
Ray.
Allen.

TheJoe03: I always heard Braves and Falcons fans were kind of flaky.

I fully believe that if the braves were on the norht side of town they would average more than 15-20K a game during the season, fark ted turner for forcing them to keep it down there when the olympic committee wanted it to the north of the crack town its located in. I also think that every southern team should have a dome, I love watching baseball, so Im a rarity but even I hate sitting in the heat down here.

The falcons are different, we love football down here but for decades they were owned by rankin smith who was quite possibly the worst owner in the history of the NFL, every slight falcon fan celebrated when he sold the team, I think they have had more winning seasons since blank bought them than their first 35 years of existence. That is why they are flaky.

Mind of the North Star: lol Fark is not based in reality

Fark is just a weird place like that. I've been splitting my time between Fark threads and the actual Facebook page of the Bulls during these playoffs. The game thread averages just over 1100posts and the post game gets over 700posts.

Hes not far off since any football related thread will get 2 pages before first kick off and I think the times the baseball playoff threads go green they are longer, its shocking since at one time the NBA had ratings rivaling the NFL but now barely crack the double digit mark. Weird since people like to argue that the NBA and their ratings are higher than ever, I guess if you count only the 2000s, then yeah.

wrong thread, but Josh Hamilton is a beast.

"Hamilton is the first Rangers player to his four homers in a game -- and all of them two-run homers. He did it off three pitchers -- Jake Arrieta, Zach Phillips and Darren O'Day -- and set a career high with eight RBIs. He had 18 total bases in the game, a new AL record, and five extra-base hits, which ties a big league record. If you include Hamilton's final at-bat of Monday's win over Baltimore, Hamilton had two-run homers on three straight at-bats and a span of five of his last six. ... He leads the AL with 14 homers and 36 RBIs. ... All four times on Tuesday, Elvis Andrus was on base ahead of Hamilton (with a walk in the first, a bunt single in the third, a single in the seventh and a fielder's choice in the eighth). ... Hamilton has an eight-game hitting streak and is batting .448 (13-for-29) with six homers and 17 RBIs during that span. "

Fantasy gold. GOLD, jERRY!

Bah. Celts need to go to the rim. Too many freaking jumpshots. But this is going to change because it has been their game all season.

Devils go to the Eastern Conference Finals, Yankees beat the Rays...I'm very nervous now, Bulls.

STAY ALIVE!

25-23 Chicago, 5:28 2nd.

Sixers with two shots after the break.

My cousin coached Lavoy Allen so I have to root for the Sixers in this round.

TIE GAME! Big 3 with one basket a piece.

Oh, Indiana's up next against Miami. Could be interesting, if they play as rough and tumble as they did last year against the Bulls...probably not, though.

I like the Pacers. David West has to show up.
