  1. So, Arkansas is the favorite to win, because of their deeper pitching staff available, then whichever team wins will have played one more game than Coastal, which will hopefully finish off that other team in their bracket soon. Then the LSU/Arky winner will have less pitching available than Costal for the three game championship series, and if it is Arky, the no-hitter pitcher Wood is available Sunday or Monday. Sound about right? Would like to see Wood pitch for the championship, see if he can come within shouting distance of yesterday's performance.
  2. guessing 2+ inches of rain, on a natural surface field, with 2.5+ games to be played in one day? What could go wrong? Especially in the last game, I can see some catastrophic error in the field due to slipping and falling. Maybe this is a super marvel of a draining system? I think we will find out for sure.
  3. I feel like this game is an analogy from John Madden who used to say "whichever team can run the ball and defend against the run better wins the game". Here it is whichever team can drive to the hoop and defend against driving to the hoop better wins the game.
  4. oops, guess I jinxed that one. Four point play coming up for Knicks.
  5. Pacers are looking alive, finally. No guarantees, but very possible this will be a 8 point or less game at start of fourth quarter.
  6. I don't know anything about the team on the other side of the bracket, but to me this Indy team has to be the most difficult team to prepare for. Literally almost any of the top 5 or 6 can be the star on any given night. I think it does help the pacers to close it out in 5. A little rest, and extra time for scouting could be the difference in the finals.
  7. so far I don't see that Pacers have tried to dribble on floor and go right at Brunson. Ineteresting. and, just like that Towns gets his 4th.
  8. mostly because of the foul situation, I can quote the famous Billy Packer, "This game is ovah!"
  9. that lady is doing some serious coaching.
  10. and OT is still a possibility.
  11. ..and they have one of the best coaches in the league at this point to instill all of that. Rick was the perfect fit for Dallas back in the day, and he's doing it again.
  12. feels like Rick has the coaching advantage. Also, feels like OT again.
  13. This game has to go down as one of the classic playoff games. Historic for the amount of points scored at the end of regulation and overtime for the Pacers, possibly the best 4th quarter comeback ever? as well as the back of the rim straight up, copycat shot from Don Nelson - 1969. My favorite all-time OT playoff game was when I was a kid and stayed up late to watch the Boston Celtics play against the Phoenix Suns, Triple OT game. Like last night I had no dog in the hunt, and was pleasantly surprised at a great game. That game back in the day kept going, going, going, until about 2:00 a.m. if memory serves correctly. That game must have started at about 9:00 p.m. Central time, because the game was played at Phoenix. Five hours does seem like a stretch, so maybe the game ended at 1:00 a.m. something. Edited, AI says the 1976 game was tape delayed so that explains the late night. The game would have started after the late local news, so 10:30 p.m. to whatever time. Also, wiki says the game was in Boston.
  14. yeah, and Carlisle warmed the bench for the Celtics a generation or two later. I think this was game 7 in the finals. The thing about Nellie's shot is that the ball bounces so high it is off the screen, and back then there I believe there were much fewer camera angles, so I have never seen a different angle showing just how high the shot bounced.
  15. Knicks melting, but here comes Brunson for a three to send to 2nd OT? I'm calling it. Boy I sure missed that.. oh well great game!
  16. Knicks melting, but here comes Brunson for a three to send to 2nd OT? I'm calling it.
  17. hard to see for sure, it does look like off Brunson.
  18. so good, it needs a 2nd OT.
  19. Brunson is the real deal, no doubt, but Tyrese!
  20. and then Indy is doing what? this OT is going quicky. jump ball.
  21. okay, so I am a bit curious, English has been the clubhouse leader for a looong time, as in almost the entire broadcast. I want to see him on top of the 2nd place list, just. because he had -6 first. He also has the best round of the day. I wonder if he has set the record for the longest time as clubhouse leader and not winning the tourney?
  22. nine or 10 straight to miss the green at #1? Has to be some kind of record.
  23. Donovan! but then the pacers with the dagger, I think. six point lead with 67 seconds left.
  24. let's just stop the game and have a one on one Tyrese vs. Donovan. These guys are amazing!
  25. I'm thinking Pacers vs. Nuggets, but I haven't seen much of the Knicks.
