While i totally respect Rose's decision to sit out the season & wait til his knee & his confidence is at 100%, it would be dope to see the bulls get beat by Miami for a couple games cause of their star power, only to motivate him to make a surprise return. It would be some NBA's Greatest Moments type shit if that happened & they managed to win the series. Highly unlikely, and while i expect the Bulls to put up a fight, without the team at 100% i doubt they get 4 wins over Miami. still, ya never know tho. Ima ride with my squad regardless. I aint gon be mad if (or when) miami comes out of the east but i do really hope NY or Chicago beats em. Pacers got a chance too but whatever I aint really fuckin with em.

Posting predictions after 2 game 1's always gives your picks some credibility.

Memphis 6
Pacers 6
Golden State 7
Miami 5

The only up-side to the loss that it's only game 1. But blowing 18 point lead two games in a row is not a good sign.

It's like the old GSW again, can't hold a lead late in the game. Oh well, maybe a W on Wednesday.

What a great night of playoff ball!  Stoked on the south beach upset.

Bummed Golden State couldn't close, but can't hate on the Spurs performance.
On a related note, Steph Curry's mom, Sonya is a babe

She looks like actress, Thandie Newton.

That last spurs possession was a defensive nightmare for golden state. With 3 seconds left you should be doubling no one and some how tp cruiser drew the double, left Manu, not to mention diaw underneath the basket practically wide open, with a passing lane larger than the Grand Canyon, open for the easy outlet pass. Come on now. I know dude was cold but you can't gamble like that in the playoffs.

With that said it was a good loss for the dubs. They know that if their shooting stays hot they can beat them and as long as their key players don't make ticky tac fouls and stay on man late in the game winning in 7 is plausible.

i always said if dude was at least 6 feet tall he'd have all-star potential. He can get ahead of himself sometimes but dude is so clutch I cant even be mad at the confidence. He's exactly what we need on offense with Rose out. I remember back when he played for NY & was benched for like a month straight and in his first game back he came & dropped like 50 points to pull off the OT win. it was on some disney channel comeback shit dude was making the craziest pull-up 3's back to back

he has been been inconsistent, but when the man has something to prove.....god damn.
I guess he just needs a starting job, and for the local media to never praise him ever.

yeah and if he was 7'5" he'd be the best center. your brain doesn't work properly. part of the reason hes so quick and agile is because hes so little, you take that away and his game would have developed differently.

Really? How different would his game be if he were half a foot taller? would he be an unathletic facilitator who cant shoot? lol, get the fuck outta here. his strengths are his athleticism/staying in shape, high energy, and his ability to create his own offense. all of which can be achieved at any size. your post wasnt nearly "profound" enough to be tryna say someones brain doesnt work.

i repeat, if the dude grew to a different height his game would have developed differently. I never said he wouldn't be a good player. You can't just say that if someone were half a foot taller they would be a better version of themselves like all this shit would happen in a vacuum. if you are too stupid to understand that there is no hope for you.

Ok Mr. If-you're-gonna-make-what-if-statements-they-better-be-as-realistic-as-possible-or-else-you're-regular. All I'm saying is that if Nate Robinson's game was in a slightly taller body, he'd have all-star potential. It's not too hard to imagine a 6 foot guard playing like Nate Robinson. The fact the you even made it a point to insult me because of that statement just goes to show how thirsty you are.

man, you don't have to get personal calling me hurtful names like "Mr. If-you're-gonna-make-what-if-statements-they-better-be-as-realistic-as-possible-or-else-you're-regular". that's just crossing the line.

I disagree. I enjoyed watching Nate when he was with the Dubs. But he is a pretty high risk player, and I do not see 12 inches helping him be more consistent in the ways he contributes to his teams.  Definitely fun to watch.  At times he seems to have all star potential but he also makes some mistakes that keep you scratching your head.  He's like that kid at your local park who does sick shit that gets you hyped, but then he just keeps going to the point where you are no longer impressed.

I've been right about everything except the Denver series. Who knew Denver would brick every FT + Curry would go off for 50 points?

lol get the fuck outta here I saw that weak ass attempt of a first post you should just kept quiet. In my original post I clearly said "If he was at least 6 feet tall..." Dude is listed as 5'9, so I have no idea why yall actin as if i said he were to move up to power forward or some shit. 3 to 6 inches means he's still a small guard that relies on the same strengths he already has to be effective, but isnt terribly undersized compared to the average NBA player. YOU NIGGAS are the one's whose brains arent functioning, seeing as how you fail to read throughly before tryna come at me with the most irrelevant shit. Nate Robinson at 6'3 is nowhere close to Shaq playing point guard or Yao Ming being 2 feet taller. it is a maximum 6 inch height difference. Theoretically speaking, (the key words to this whole debate) i highly doubt his game would be that much different than it is now, aside from being able to attack the rim thru even more bodies & not being as much of a defensive liability.

you are arbitrarily increasing a players height and then saying they would all of a sudden be a better player because of it, when Nate excels because of his body type, not in spite of it.
