BehindTheBasket

  1. As always, the #Lakers had a massive late-game FT disparity in their favor in a playoff game that definitely helps NBA ratings/storylines
  2. It's official: #Spurs will kill #Thunder in next round. No way SanAn would lose to #Lakers like this, even with Kobe's ridiculous FT parade
  3. Who gets to the playoffs sooner: #Bucks or #Raptors? Milwaukee is closer right now, but Toronto has better leadership: behindthebasket.com/btb/2012/5/16/…
  4. MJ is only going to make the #Bobcats worse if he hires friend and not-real-coach Patrick Ewing behindthebasket.com/btb/2012/5/16/…
  5. "who knew Chris Bosh was so essential to Miami's game?" - we did @nytimes sports section
  6. Darren Collison was phenomenal in Round 1, so #Pacers should be OK with him throughout most of 2nd half behindthebasket.com/btb/2012/5/12/…
  7. Refs slowly starting to turn the screws on the #Pacers. #DavidSternsFingerPrints
  8. The rebounding of the #Heat is already underwhelming enough with Bosh - things could get really bad for Miami's ring quest if he's hurt.
  9. Beware #Pacers: Reffing in #Heat favor definitely looks reminiscent of Round 1 vs Knicks.
  10. Artest and Blake have both been very clutch in the playoffs at different times over the past 2 years.
  11. There hasn't been a better gague of #Lakers success in past 5 years than Pau Gasol's performance - tells you a lot about what makes LA go.
  12. How many more FT's will the #Lakers have in the 4th than the #Nuggets?
  13. Pau Gasol's performance is directly connected to the #Lakers team success. What else is new?
  14. #Sixers and #Celtics bench match-ups are very important to this series - check them out behindthebasket.com/btb/2012/5/12/…
  15. #Sixers shot very poorly (41%) vs #Bulls great D in Rd 1. Only team with better D? The #Celtics, their Rd 2 opponent. behindthebasket.com/btb/2012/5/12/…
  16. Darren Collison in Rd 1: Offensive Rating of 144, Defensive Rating of 92. Play him more. behindthebasket.com/btb/2012/5/12/…
  17. Why do I actually believe CP3 & Griffin are game-time decisions whereas yesterday's deal with Kobe seemed more like a set-up for hero time?
  18. Any questions about how connected #Lakers frontcourt success is to their team success are being answered tonight. #KobePointsOnlyHelpSelf
