This is where this is supposed to go right? I remember seeing one for last season. Apologies if ABP.
Anyways, D'ANTONI! Stoked. Might get some Laker tickets this year. They'll be fun to watch for the first time since the fuckin' '80s.
-
Ill be at the Lakers Vs. Warriors game on Dec 22.
-
The Lakers are off to a great start, if they keep it up they won't be in the play offs!!
My Cavs look good, hopefully everyone heals up and they get back to winning!!
Fuck Lebron!!

Veganshawn stay salty!! (!!!!!!!)
just gonna post tim duncan's stats here for anyone that is interested.
#1 in defensive rating (91.4), #1 in defensive rebounds, #3 in blocks, #4 in PER...
19\10 with 2ast, 2.5 blk and 1 stl per game

Raptors sucking ass, as usual. Harden has been killing it for me in fantasy so far, which I'm happy about.

wizards still without a W, we stay in the cellar all day, ery day

Staying Salty for sure!!

As a Clipper fan you tend to have low expectations, but I'm feeling confident they can go all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

Uncle Drew is the truth. And you got him with the clippers pick. You should be seasoning smoked meats you're so salty. Lebron, then kyrie; that's like having 2 birthdays.

I think it's kind of hilarious to see the Lakers failing so badly when everybody was so convinced that their raft of aging stars would turn them into an instant championship contender. The seasons not over yet but I'm looking forward to the Warriors taking that final playoff spot in the west from them.

Melo was lovin' that Laker win the other night...rubbing that shit in D'Antoni's face w/ aggressive dunks and shit...You Laker fans gotta realize, players hate D'Antoni and do NOT listen to him. He is not the guy who can wrangle the egos of Howard or Bryant...you know who could of done that though...JACKSON! It's gona be a miserable year for Laker fans...Bruce Murray was saying how he thinks D'Antoni was a one-hit-wonder in Phoenix on the radio today...
That's why we've gotten so lucky with Woodson coming in...guy has the ear of Smith, Melo, Chandler Etc...and all the guy's respect him. It's nice he isn't afraid to yell at them and get them in check either.

So hyped on my Rockets this year, they have been playing great recently.

Half way into the season and no ones posted Tim Duncan's player efficiency rating, jeez this is 2013.
-
in recent news Jordan Crawford has been on a killing spree, 20 pts 6 rebs. 5 assists last few games. Still the wizards aren't going anywhere till we get Wall back, which could be soon as he practiced today

I really want to see a Knicks vs Heat Final in the East i think it could get interesting down the stretch with how good Melos playing and how shit Wade and Bosh are at the moment
Im calling thunder to take the clippers in 6 games in the western conference finals too

supposedly the suns might get him for jared dudz and some picks. im psyched
-
Rudy Gay has always been solid player.... Houston drafted him then immediately traded him away for Battier lol. I believe the raptors are in the mix as well. Bargnani straight up for Rudy, which wouldn't make sense for Memphis on account of their 2 scoring big men they're paying a shit ton for. Plus Rudy to me seems like a big part of that core.
It's funny to see people trip on how many all-star votes Lin has. As if this hasn't been going on for years. Every year same shit. Wouldn't be shocked if Tmac and Yao made west starters, and Iverson starting for the east.

pretty sure memphis ownership doesn't give a fuck about winning

Also, wonder if Sacramento is really moving to Seattle.

fucking andrew bynum fuck u and your dumb ass knee. ill take andre igoudala and lou williams back anytime. thank you. goodnight.

I think the 24 hour fitness and sleep train guy wants to keep in Sac. But it'd be awesome to have another team in Seattle. Don't think an expansion team will work. Only a existing team that the NBA approves of the move would work.

I'm a hoops fanatic. Being from Toronto I have the pleaseure of being a Raptors fan yayyyy. I follow alot of teams though, I love watching the Denver Nuggets the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers. I hate the Miami Heat and the Lakers. Paul George is my current favourite player,anyway might try to go that Millwuakee/Raps game sunday I really wanna see Monta Ellis and Jennings live.

Very exciting player in person, still have his GSW swingman jersey. I too want to see Jennings play. He's a good 1.
-
Nice, I have a Warriors J-Rich swingman. I really want one the new Jersey's they have with like the like the blue and gold with the Golden Gate bridge on it maybe a Jarret Jack I'm going to try and pick one up when I go to frisco. Jennings can ball man, my only knock on him is the inconcistencey he'll drop like 30 and 11 dimes then the next game have like 7 pts 2 ast.
-
Jennings is probably the Franchise player for the bucks, since he's younger than Monta.
I was reading a little article where they rather build a team off Jennings than Monta.

Clippers home win streak is no more, can't believe the magic ended it.
Memphis got beat by 20 or so by the Mavs.
But at least John Wall is back, he is too good.

My Raps lost to the Bucks in classic Raptors fashion (blew an early 20pt lead )Jennings threw the nicest lob to seal the deal at end of the game. Some good match ups coming up this week really looking foward to Golden State vs Miami on Wednesday Miami's gonna bring the heat looking for some revenge after that last second let down earlier in the season it would be rad to see GS sweep the season series agianst Miami. What games are you guys stoked on coming up?

Love to see my bulls SMACK THE DOG SHIT out of the hawks with that 40 piece win. They're really starting to look pretty good in the east without rose. Dunno how good he'll be when it gets back cuz it usually takes a year to fully recover from an acl tear but if he can st least play at 75%-80% they'll do some damage in the playoffs

5 games above 500 and 6th place in the East without your number one option/play maker is pretty damn good. I still don't think Rose should come back this season as much as I'd like to see that. One playoff appearance vs a whole carreer not worth the risk.

Yeah I've agree it'd pro,ly be better for him to wait til next year but realistically I doubt they'd do it. After all the Adidas hype & rose own competitive nature, he's gonna play with minimum minutes at least. Thibs is smart enough to manage that tho he'd prolly start, get benched early, then put me back out when they need a run. Hopefully rose gets that jumper down pat so he can score without his body taking such a beating. He's quick enough & got the handles to cross the fuck outta anybody. Just hit a lil dribble move, create some space, SPLASH!

Last week, I was working the D-League Showcase. The Lakers' rookie center and last pick in the draft (60th of round two), Robert Sacre, asked me where the bathroom was.
Today, in Portland my sister waited on rookie center Meyers Leonard at her sushi restaurant. He was the Blazers 11th pick.

I always wondered if Russell had a really bad shooting night and focused more on passing, all the while Durant got really hot on the floor, what he could do in terms of points. That would be incredible to see. 52 points on like 13-31 shooting? That is an awe in itself.

Always been a Laker fan so I ain't gon abandon em now, but these niggas STRUGGLIN. All I can hope for is some perfect trade that solves all their problems or D'Antoni get fired and they hire Phil. The latter will definitely never happen cuz I doubt they'd want to be paying all 3 coaches at the same time, but a nigga gon dream regardless.

That use to happen to me though before I saw the extra options. I use to record the game and show afterwards back in the day. Man, I was so primitive.

Watching my bulls destroy my lakers in the fourth right now. Kirk "temporily Michael Jordan" Hinrich goin ham. Definitely like to see my home team stay cohesive & drive it home at the end of the game. Without their two best players I might add. Seeing rose practice must be bringing a lot of positive energy to the team.

Just thinking about a Warriors/Clippers playoff series is giving me a basketball boner, high octane offense, dunks and lobs everywhere, solid 3pt shooting and the match-ups...
David Lee vs Griffin
Curry vs CP3
Thompson vs Barnes/Butler
Jack vs Bledsoe
woooooo!!! can't wait!!

That'd be a good matchup.
I feel the clippers would get the 2nd seed. (1st is OKC). THat means the warriors would be the 7th seed in order to play the clippers.
I think the warriors would get the 5th or 6th seed. Spurs could be the 3rd seed.
Here is my 8 Western conference predictions.
1. Oklahoma City
2. LA Cliipers
3. Spurs
4. Denver
5. Memphis
6. Golden State
7. Utah
8. Portland or Rockets

Yeah that's pretty sound. I could see Utah faltering down the stretch. I see Dallas sneaking in aswell there's alot of basketball left to be played

Kobe live tweeting the 81 point might be the highlight of my year.

haha forreal that shit had me dying. I'd only believe it if he said the first time watching it THIS year. lol
Anyways as we get closer to the trade deadline, all these analysts coming out of the woodworks to speak on possible trade scenarios. One in particular caught my attention.
Let?s swap Pau Gasol for Josh Smith. It gets Pau out of toxic Lakerland for his own good and lets him pair up nicely with All-Star big man Al Horford. Smith could make a big splash in L.A. and save the season or be permitted to walk off into free agency. If that happens, it?s addition by subtraction, since coach Mike D?Antoni and the stats show that Gasol and Dwight Howard do not work effectively together. Lakers have to take the baggage of Johan Petro, DeShawn Stevenson and Ivan Johnson to make it work.
out of all the Gasol trade talks this seems to make the most sense team-wise & financially. LA would have to pick up those extra players but that's kinda what they need right now anyway. Deshawn Stevenson would fit well in D'Antoni's system (which im still skeptical of) and an uber-athletic frontcount with good friends Dwight Howard & Josh Smith would be ill. Gasol & Horford would fit as well with both of them being able to go back to their more natural positions.
I also wanna see if the Kings/SuperSonics are going to trade Demarcus Cousins. Dudes a beast he just needs to be in a better environment in order to grow & mature. Shit while they're at it trade my boy Tyreke Evans outta there as well dude has straight up superstar potential but they're stunting his growth tryna mix & match him with their logjam of guards on the roster. Dude started off as a starting point guard, got moved to shooting guard, and now they got him playing as an undersized small forward? Fuck outta here let that boy shine! Preferably, on my Chicago Bulls. Even if they don't trade him i already know he's opting for free agency once the offseason comes
-
Wonder if the Lakers will trade Dwight, he can sign with the lakers or a free agent in July.
Don't know if he is happy in LA, but i heard Brooklyn is trying to get him.
Forgot the details, read it in a bleecher report here:

The Kings/Sonics would have to be crazy to shop Cousins you're just not going to get back matched value, dude's capible of avg 25 and 15 in the near future I think they just need the right coach/mentors. I fully agree with you on 'Reke though he's on my all NBA "Free" team (Stuckey,Kanter,Favours,Dragic) dudes that have so much potential but are rotting away on bad teams. Josh Smith to the Lakers? that would be AMAZING.......on paper.

NBA ALL-STAR reserves being announced tmr any predictions? personally my I only care if Paul George gets the seclection which he most likely will, also I also don't want to see Bosh's bitch ass in there.

Gasol for Smith? This isn't 2005-2006. Atalanta would be outta their damn minds to make that trade.
-

Relations between the 2 haven't been so good the past couple of years. He most likely won't sign back to Atlanta this offseason when he's a free agent so they might as well get rid of him now & get something back in return.
-
Pretty sure it's the same for a lot of players. They could find a better deal. Gasol probably makes just as much as he does if not more. Houston is supposedly in the mix. I would be the happiest dude alive if this were to happen. He's showed interest in playing here. Harden/Smith.... yikes.

Also with the Pelicans, not bad at all! Im surprised. I hated the name at first but I will admit, it has grown on me to a level where I accept it.

Hopefully Curry gets to be a all-star if one of the starters or reserves can't play.
But how the fuck can KG be a starter? Fool isn't even a true center. Tyson Chandler should start. KG doesn't even deserve to be an all-star this year.

Steph deserves that spot. KG should not even be in it, in my opinion. Sub .500 team with 1 all-star all ready. Come on. If the fans didn't vote him in, he would not even be in the all-star game. Saying that, Dwight should not be a starter on the West side. I believe that fucked up the reserves.

yeah, Dwight too. Of course Kobe should be in, his stats prove that. Dwight is just popular and of course all-star starters are a popularity contest.
Lakers won't even make the playoffs, team Record + stats should make an all-star team.
Warriors have been sucking the past decade and finally got their first all-star since '97. Lee is in because he is doing good + the team. But Curry is more valuable than Lee. Curry was out most of last year and Lee was healthy but the team still sucked.
Now they're doing good it's because Curry is in playing regularly, plus Lee is playing good again this year.
I rather have Jamal Crawford than Tony Parker. But I guess if you're a vet like that, the coaches will vote you in.

Despite Lakers record and his utterly DREADFUL free-throw shooting, Dwight still deserves to be an all star. Aside from an injured Kevin Love & Demarcus Cousins, what other "front court player" that isn't already on the Western Team can put up close to 16 pts, 12 rebounds, & 2.5 blocks a night? And he's still not fully recovered from that back surgery either. Dwightmare drama & free throws aside, he's still a top 3 (if not number one) center in the league right now.
I agree with yall on the Tyson Chandler over KG in the east, but I guess Garnett still got that clout with the fans and this will most likely be his last one anyway. Glad to see Deng & Noah make the reserve team as well. Chi-Town stand up!

Yup, Bulls are doing good without D. Rose!!
I'm sure even better when he gets back!

They laid a beating on Golden State tonight without Luol Deng! I like what I'm seeing from Jimmy Butler (19 and 12) stepping up in Deng's absence I've had my eye on him since his days at Marquette. I'm kinda pulling for this team with Rose on board they have the best chance at beating the Heat.

Always wanted to like him, but one must question his heart/desire to win. Atlanta was a prime example. Dat contract they gave him dude got paid. Stat padder if you ask me. Still enjoyable to watch this was awesome

I really don't this Rudy Gay deal right now to sum it up to you guys here's a quick breakdown...
Our GM (Brian Colangelo) is a horrid general manager (drafted Andrea Bargnani 1st overall 1 playoff appearance under his watch in about 9 years signed Hedo Turkolgo to a massive contract ect ect I could go) So obviously this guy is on the hot seat he had 2 options develop our young core for the next few seasons and enter the lottery or make a "big time" trade in an attepmt to save his job.
Rudy Gay is an amazing talent don't get me wrong but he cannot lead a team so now we're stuck with another "franchise guy" that's not really a franchise guy for 3 years destined for at least 2 or 3+ of mediocrity unless something miraculous happens.

Back from the game, good W, national televised game.

I really don't this Rudy Gay deal right now to sum it up to you guys here's a quick breakdown...
Our GM (Brian Colangelo) is a horrid general manager (drafted Andrea Bargnani 1st overall 1 playoff appearance under his watch in about 9 years signed Hedo Turkolgo to a massive contract ect ect I could go) So obviously this guy is on the hot seat he had 2 options develop our young core for the next few seasons and enter the lottery or make a "big time" trade in an attepmt to save his job.

Now Toronto is stuck with all that pay roll and no cap room. On paper the deal sounds amazing, but Memphis saved their asses from luxury tax penalties. Detroit even did ok acquiring a passing PG with an expiring contract (Calderon). That leaves them with some cap after this season. Memphis instantly filled the void at the 3 spot with Tayshaun who is virtually the same player as Gay, obviously not as talented, but has been playing better basketball this season. AND a solid big man off the bench in Ed Davis. I think Toronto got the worst end of the stick no doubt.

Now I may be wrong just for the simple fact that I'm not really a fan of the team but I think Rudy gay was a great pick up for the raptors. They get some much needed star-power & a closer. That role may supposedly be bargnati's but dude is like a generic Kroger brand dirk nowitski I'd pick Gay to take over the 4th before him. Like I said I don't really follow the raptors but Calderon & some other guy for ruddy gay is a steal for them. The tandem of him & derozen will be deadly on the fastbreak
-
I guess we'll have to wait and see.... I'm still skeptical but I'm not going to lie I liked what saw tonight, I haven't seen the Raps play that good from tip off till the finals buzzer in years. Lowry Gay and Derozan is a lot to handle for any team. Still though seeing Memphis play OCK the other night really exposed they're lack of play making ability and is good as Rudy played in his debut the Clippers were without they're number one guy and floor general. I'll be able to make a real asessment come sunday vs the Heat.

haha yeah, rockets scored 140 :o . Crazy Ejection at the end of the game, but yeah first quarter was close and high scoring. But after that Rockets took over.
Only highlight for me was the Curry half-court heave.

I can't remember the last time I've seen such an offensive outburst I guess Orlando (also 23 threes) but I don't think they had 140 crazy that dunk on G Wallace was nuts to, this seems be the time of year were buck shit just goes down it's mid season players are on their game but not yet worn out.

Really excited for the stretch of games coming after the All-Star break, good group of games to really go on a few streaks and really bump up the record. Really hyped on the remainder of the year. With the Grizzlies trade that happened and all this changing in momentum for the 4-6 seeds, this will be a interesting year in the western conference.
-
Indeed,anything after the 3 spot is a toss up I see Denver holding on to third. I can see Golden State faltering a bit being such an injury prone team it would be awesome to see Houston adavance past the second round for once but if they end up 7th or 8th Spurs or OCK will make quick work out of them.
-
Last night's game in Indy was one of the most entertaining games I've seen in weeks my Raps got the W in OT ala Rudy Gay signature right-corner jumper off the dribble. Kinda perplexed how PG didn't force him left seeing as he's hit at lest 5 game winners from thet very spot but whatever we'll take it! ;D

yeah, i probably see GSW being 5th or 6th seed. But yeah, 7th or 8th will be hard to get to the 2nd round, since it's probably 1 seed spurs, 2 seed OKC.
Both team deep in bench players.

well, they are still 11 games below .500, but they seem to have direction, i cant wait for andrea to be out of town, his lack of the thought of the idea of maybe thnking aobut potentially playing defence, its terrible.

back-to-back games, they're gonna lose. We beat GS on their court. A great, much needed win. Plus I've heard their in talks to possibly acquire Eric Bledsoe so that's something to look forward to. It's clear we need another option behind Harden to score.

Agree 100% he showed a bit of energy his first game back but after that all of the little hustle/grit he displayed vanished, that Chandler play was disgusting send his Primo Pasta eating hair gelling manicure getting bitch ass back to Italy

Thunder Heat at halftime right now, Heat up by 17 Durant's like 1-10 can't remember the last time I've seen him shoot the ball so poorly. Should be better in the second half could see OKC getting back into this one and getting the dub.

I'm still upset that we traded Rudy Gay... Such a fucked up move....

Good comeback by the Thunder, but King James and the Heat held them off.

Being from Toronto I didn't like it at first for both sides I liked that Memphis was finally doing well and had a shot at winning the conference. On the Raptors side I didn't think Rudy was a max deal guy, I'm still not 100% sold... but so far he's showing that he is and more. It was purely a money saving move.
-
Damn it's good to see Mr Big Shot back on the court. I hope this game doesn't turn into a blowout I'm rooting for the clips but god damn Lakers play some friggin D for my entertainment's sake.

Off the top of my head Boston would make the most sense KG Pierce and Doc would be able to keep him in check and the have they most to return in a Rondo+ a few decent RP's. I'm seeing alot of Dallas rumors aswell, on various basketball sites that one is popping up the most.

It was a decent showing in terms of the events. Dunk contest was ok, 3 point was excellent, and the other events mixed in nicely. Way better than last year's in my opinion. Can't believe our own Big Shot Rob was missing that badly though for the shooting stars. Airball and then like 2 or 3 feet over the backboard, come on.

West beat the East. CP3 got the MVP although you could've easily given it to KD.

Paul George was balling hard out there to, I think his numbers are going to go up for the rest of the season.

of course i turned off the game when they were down by ten to go give my baby a shower and they end up winning, pyshced tho. and i like the new jerseys, i think they look like a baseball jersey which isnt a bad thing at all. and when you see a picture of a normal dude wearing them they fit a little loose so they look good in my opinion. i can't find the pic of dan dibley rockin one tho.

Despite his age Kobe has been killing it all season. Dude been talkin about retiring next year I say he got as least 2-3 more in the tank. Howard has been playing his part tho since free the all star break. I'm seeing a lot more effort & energy coming from him these past few games. Dude just needs to work on his touch around the rim. I'm sure the torn labrum & back recovery are to blame n some cases but there are alot of shots I feel he should be making. Like as soon as you see him release the shit it automatically looks off. Still, lakers are streaking now & if they can get the win at Denver tomorrow that'll be an impressive road win that'll surely boost their confidence at put them back at .500

Joakim Noah was a beast tonight, Third career triple double. First player since Shaq in 1993 to have: 23 pts, 21 rebs, and 11 blks in a game. Hopefully Rose can come back and we can try to make a run at the Pacers since were three games out of first in the division.
Also, Rose dunked multiple times off his surgically repaired leg and landed on both feet (unlike the OKC vid from a few days ago)

Those final 3 spots in the west are wide open right now with Golden State losing again tonight. Really hope my Rockets capitalize tomorrow.

Noah killed it again tonight, Boozer played well + he was actually tried on the defensive end and Jimmy Butler once again was solid for us. Big win to move up into the 5th spot in the East. Tomorrow night is a huge game against the Pacers, I hope we crush em.
-
Again we hung in there missing key players (Kirk/Taj). David West feasted tonight especially considering the fact that Deng was guarding him due to Taj Gibsons mcl sprain a few games ago. Boozer is still trash, Marquis Teague isn't ready to be playing in crunch time , and Thibs really needs to get Jimmy Butler more minutes the kid can play. Its on when Rose gets back.

I thought the game was going to be a lot uglier to be honest, ended in the mid 90s you can also argue the fact Paul George had a sub par game and the Pacers still won?

Paul George had an ugly game because of Deng/Butler's defense. The Bulls miss Kirk Hinrich real bad on offense though Nate Robinson/Teague cannot run the offense to save their lives. The issue is without Rose's offensive playmaking the Bulls struggle to find easy baskets but luckily they're good enough on defense to hang in games. Honestly its hard to put a lot of stock into these games they win or lose because if Rose does come back and is healthy its a completely different dynamic.
Plus this happened tonight (old man still has hops)

Yeah, I'm a Melo fan for sure. Hopefully out only a couple games. Speedy recovery in the meantime.

"It's just sore, not pain, sore and stiffness," Anthony said in a crowded corridor outside New York's locker room. "It's been going on for a while now."
Anthony, who entered the game tied with Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant for the NBA scoring lead, said he underwent an MRI "a couple days ago." He said the test results were negative, and he does not yet know if he'll be able to play Wednesday night when the Knicks visit Detroit.
"Today I just woke up and you know how some days you really don't feel right," he said. "I came out here and I tried to warm up and I thought it was going to loosen up before the game, but some of the things that I was doing I felt like I was dragging it."
-
Hope hes alright, I am still a little worried though just because Rajon Rondo finished his game against the Atlanta Hawks with soreness only to find out that his ACL was torn the next day. Despite my hatred for the Knicks I actually like Melo and if the Bulls can't beat the Heat/Get Rose back I'll just watch the eastern playoffs to see a LBJ v Melo showdown.

Haha pacers/heat wouldn't be too bad & Indiana has potential to make it interesting but I've been waiting since early this season for a melo/lebron & JR Smith/ D'Wade playoff matchup. Spurs vs Pacers for the Finals would definitely cause for a ratings dip tho, lmao. No doubt Stern would somehow sabotage one of the teams for "basketball reasons" if there was a good chance it could actually happen.

I doubt it, it is that time where teams will stay competitive for most of the game and then "lose steam" though. But for New Orleans, it looks like they still have fight in them and rightfully so, this draft class doesn't seem or is predicted to be at all that great.

Pretty impressive from Kobe. I can't see them getting past the first round though given how bad their defense is and how much they're relying on him to bail them out of games. Lucky for them the teams at 6-8 in the west are looking pretty soft right now so they might not have to play OKC or the Spurs.

Bulls aren't going anywhere and it's because of players like Nate. PG's like Tony Parker and Westbrook make him look like a D leaguer with hops. Someone needs to convince Chicago to start spending some money, it doesn't make sense because they sell out every game.

Why even compare Nate Robinson (spark plug/6th man) to Westbrook (allstar all nba) or Parker (finals mvp) they're in totally different categories. The only reason Nate even starts is because Hinrich is in a walking boot. As for spending money good luck with that this team is run by Jerry fucking Reinsdorf they Bulls profits fund the White Sox.
The Bulls gut their bench mob. Asik who is #2 in rebounding, dump Korver whose one of the best spot up 3pt shooters, get rid of Rose's back up CJ Watson for Nate, Now they're pressuring Rose to play when he isn't mentally ready yet and potentially causing a rift between derrick and management. It's not a shock that Scottie/MJ trashed the front office after they're were run out of town in the 90s or why Dwayne Wade was critical of the organization saying they're not first class during the mega free agency period two years ago.

The only team that shut down D Rose when he was healthy was LeBron and the Heat two years ago in the Eastern Conference Finals. Our front office pretty much took that first title run as: "Yep, we've got enough to beat them we just needed that experience, we'll get em next year." They were depending on an aging broke down Rip Hamilton to be Rose's second scorer for the Heat showdown and thats just not possible. The Rip Hamilton of the Pistons glory days isn't walking through the door. They sign Kirk Hinrich which will put them over the luxury tax, they still haven't used their amnesty clause on Carlos Boozer despite the fact that they're paying Taj Gibson starter money now. Luol Deng (who i love) a very good two way player was overpaid from his last contract. I'm glad Reggie Rose called out the Bulls front office, and I'm glad that Jeff Van Gundy went on that mini tirade today during the Lakers game about how bad the ownership is.
I'm fine if Rose doesn't play this year -- He's said numerous times he isn't comfortable landing after dunks, he's told David Aldridge he has discomfort when cutting to the right, and now Doris Burke reported that his hamstrings are: "on fire". Yet, the org leaks a story saying that he's fine and not mentally ready. The front office is a mess and all they're doing is alienating their franchise player.

dont the bulls have the draft rights to some euro-player who's supposed to be like the next Dirk Nowitzki (as in his play style) and they're supposed to sign him next year? I'm a big bulls fan & honestly id rather have D.Rose make a full recovery mentally & physically as opposed to making some struggle-run to the championship. if he were at a 100% it'd be one thing, but it makes little since for him to get back up to speed in the middle of the playoffs or whatever. unless he wanna get on some Jordan vs the Celtics shit let that man recover for the next season.
i always figured they'd amnesty Boozer after this year & make a run for a big name free agent (preferably Tyreke Evans, Josh Smith, or even JR Smith if he were to part with the Knicks) but i dunno they might fuck around on some lame shit & keep him simply because he's played fairly well this season. for the most part they have just about all the pieces needed for a championship team they just need a better backup center and another reliable scorer to step up when Rose gets double-teamed. I thought the bench was weakened from last year but hinrich, bellineli, butler, & robinson have been solid replacements. Losing Asik was the real loss but hopefully we can get another backup big this offseason. ive always hated nazir Mohammed for years dude was always the most garbage backup center on all my teams in 2K lol.

Nikola Mirotic is the guy you're thinking of he's a stud. Josh smith would be the best signing out of those guys because of his athleticism if you put a guy like that with Noah in Thibs defensive scheme they would cause some trouble and you know they would rebound the hell out of the ball. JR Smith would make Thibs just as crazy as Nate Robinson with his shot selection. OJ Mayo is a free agent and Chicago was heavily interested in him prior to his Mavs signing. Also a lot of Bulls fans want them to make a run at Kevin love after next year because he can opt out of his contract and he's been close friends with Rose since their AAU/High School basketball days and they work out together in the off season.

I love how the quality of a dunk in the NBA is mostly judged on how embarrassed/injured the defender is after the play.

Its the equivalent of someone dunking on an 8 foot hoop over a child
Can't wait for SAS vs OKC tonight, best matchup all season..

Dude it's 2 points! If DJ was such an electric dunker why isn't he in the dunk contest? BECAUSE HE'S 7 FEET TALL AND BARELY HAS TO JUMP 10 INCHES TO DUNK.. This is why the Clippers never win, style over substance. San Antonio/ OKC/ Miami don't play that shit
Great game in SanAntonio tonight, no Tony Parker= no problem

yeah, it was incredibly clear. it was basically an alley oop with joakim touching the rim. the ball wasnt even near the rim. and its even worse because the nuggets didnt get called on a bucket that was clearly goaltending less than a minute before

Really getting sick of all this controversy over Rose not playing. ive been on various sports blogs n whatnot and some of the comments are insane. niggas really tryna call him a pampered superstar who's too scared to play and comparing him to andrew bynum. ANDREW BYNUM. like forreal shit is absurd out here. so called fans saying he gave up on the team n shit. i been sayin from the get go dude should just sit out for the season & come back next year with confidence. the bulls would look silly as fuck tryna bring him back in the middle of the playoffs. even if he is medically cleared to play aint nobody tryna see a timid derrick rose get his offensive struggle on as he gets his first taste of in-game action in almost a year. Dude just needs to come out and say "im not playing until next season" and leave it at that. none of this "could be tomorrow or 3 months from now" shit

spurs will destroy the lakers in the playoffs.

Don't be so sure of that I'd give the lakers at least a punchers chance. I really liked what I saw against Dallas minus Nash. The lakers definitely have their nine guy rotation ready which is something I can only say about one LA team. Although Manu hasn't neccisarily been huge for the spurs this season he is a big part of there post season aspirations. If he misses the first that has to count for something positive in the minds of the lake show.
-
Yeah I feel like the Spurs are their best chance for an upset. OKC, Denver or the Clippers would just outrun them every single game.
-
^ I'm sure ill sound crazy but I think the west is open for grabs with okc slated to be the favorite. Okc and Denver could potentially run all over the lakers but this is post season basketball. The game slows down a bit with teams actually playing d and working half court sets. This is why I didn't include the clips since cp3 prefers a slower paced game running the half court, doing his best Isaih impersonation. Hypothetically if the lakers pull out the 8 seed I'd say the odd man out would the warriors and maybe the rockets. But as I said this western concerns is as wide open as Amanda Bynes at a hip hop club.

It was a good game, not trippin' on it. Just wanted a fair game. That game wasnt that at all.
Take away Howard's foul shots. Still would have bene probably 30+ to 16 in fouls attempts.
If you watched the game you would have clearly seen some calls go towards the lakers.
There was this one play where kobe did a fade away shot and Ezeli stuck his hand in the air, clearly 3-4 feet away from him. He got the call since he spun around and landed off balance, certainly not a foul. Oh, and he's a superstar.

i watched the full game. i know what you mean cuz Kobe gets those bullshit calls all the time.
i'm watching the post-game and Kobe looks like he's been crying. i think he knows his season is over (and possibly the next.)
when asked if he feels like he tore his achilles he said 'yeah'.
i hope his career isn't over because of this.

I guess his Achilles is why he was missing from the last 3 min from the game or so.
-edit:
he apparently has a torn Achilles.
Mike Trudell ✔ @LakersReporter
The Lakers believe Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles. He will have an MRI tomorrow to confirm.
-
Damn i wasnt watching the game but I was following the box score so i knew it was close. Damn that's tragic man Kobe was literally carrying the Lakers all season & played with so much passion. Tough day for LA, this puts the franchise ina difficult position. They gonna blow the team up & start rebuilding with Kobe gone for a year?

Kobe gets pampered by the refs every night. Golden State clearly won that game, but Kobe is out so its all good. Im sick of all the Kobe hype, the dude clearly sucks the refs' dicks for foul calls. GSW all the way baby!

Harrison Barnes got called a foul, barely a reach for the ball, just Kobe's Achilles gave out, this is when Kobe got hurt.

Losing Kobe is nothing, the guy is awful on defense.. Lakers still have a great team.. Howard, Pau, Clark, Blake... every player on their team is a stud, time for some team ball. I think LA upsets in round 1 even without Kobe

LAL has a winning record when Kobe sits. This shouldn't be surprising given he's a total ballhog and useless on D

Yahoo! posted an article, "Kobe Bryant goes on a Facebook rant, vowing to return while still casting doubts about rehab"

Here's the excerpt from his post,
This is such BS! All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I've done millions of times! The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen ?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from this and be the same player Or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that??
I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was. Maybe this is how my book ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not! It's 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I'm wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what's the purpose of social media if I won't bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.
One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day.
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
I know it's a long post but I'm Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge.
Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always.

I don't know how much Ewing theory potential Kobe, or the lack thereof, has on this lakers team if they can make the playoffs but I, and this leaves a bad taste in my mout, haveagree with tracer they still have plenty of ballers.
And I don't want to take total credit for jinxing Kobe but I did make a post referencing mambas numbered days. If you see me out there I will be pointing the finger at German medicine.

What a weird move. SAS dumped SJackson and now they sign TMac? Don't see how this makes them better but def. adds some veteran winning presence . Going to be an interesting postseason
-
"Veteran winning presence"? Sure, he's old, but none of his teams ever even made it past the first round of the playoffs (not that that makes him a bad player or anything). I think they just needed a body to fill out their rotations in case one of their role players gets injured; I guess you could do worse than a 7-time all-star scorer for that purpose.
And yes, the Lakers slim post-season chances have pretty much evaporated now that OKC has the #1 seed. At least coach Kobe won't have to suffer their incompetence for very long (probably 5 games max).
-
^ The Lakers can still get the 7 seed if they beat Houston and utah loses to memphis tomorrow night.

Popovic had no idea Tmac was coming in, all upper management hoopla. No surprise if he only plays garbage minutes or no minutes at all. Man san antonio got a old team, still gotta help em with tmac on the sidelines.
As for LA, they have a great shot at an upset now that kobe's gone, praying they don't play SAS, I have a bet with a friend SA wins it all

Props to Curry that's definitely a admirable record to break.
I had a feeling this Lakers/Houston game would go into overtime & that shot by Parsons almost didn't surprise me. Shit was hella clutch tho. Really great game so far feels like its already playoff time. Really want LA to win so they play the spurs & Harden against OKC

Handsome Chandlar Parsons three at the end of regulation had to be one of the luckiest shots of this entire season. Did no one see that shot? It was flatter than plywood, anti-clutch, with no arc. Disgusting really. Buckets is buckets I guess but had he been defended I could have devoted that overtime period to love making. Thanks Handsome Chandlar Parsons.

As much as I love the Lakers its gonna take everything they've got to have a chance at an upset. Dwight's gonna have to dominate defensively as well as capitalize on all his easy buckets as well as make free throws when needed. Gasol has to average close to a triple double & everybody else has to make their 3's and be locked in defensively. With Manu & Parker injured or not playing well they have a chance but like i said its gonna take an all-around A+ effort from LA. anything less & they'll get served.

Pretty much agree with all of that except i think the clips are gonna beat memphis in 7 instead. With Chris Paul leading the way they just seemed primed for a strong championship run. Would not be surprised at all if they won the west.
-
As the board's resident clipper fan i'll be the first to tell you I want no part of Memphis. This clipper team is too streaky for comfort. I'm still not even sure what the rotation is going be nor do I think do they. There are so many flaws in their game. How many legit defenders does this team have? How many guys can hit a free throw when needed? How many legit big guys do they have to match the bigs of Memphis? How susceptible are they to the pass? The way Blake dunks he's just waiting for an injury happen, what do they do if he goes down? Ryan Hollis and Lamar Odom aren't the answer. Do these guys even want to play for VDN? Winning the WCF would only solidify his return barring they couldn't get Phil. Any one of these guys could take this because home court is not an issue. The clippers definitely have the best player on the court on the court in Chris Paul but they do not have the team better suited for playoff style basketball. In fact they have no identity. CP3 runs the show and everyone else falls in line. Memphis is full of grinders and if what they are saying is true and the chemistry of Paul, Griffin and Jordan is deteriorating then good night see you later if Memphis takes the series 3-2.

Paragraphs are paragraphs. Clippers OWN Memphis plain and simple. They are big vegas favorites despite Memphis having homecourt
-
Clips have homecourt and last I checked the series price was -145 which isn't a heavy favorite for having homecourt.

Regardless, NBA has the script that keeps atleas 1 LA team advancing past the 1st round. Besides that LAC has Chris paul, and 3 point shooting. Would say dunking but that's not a huge advantage
Good luck Mike Conley and gasol, these dudes are going ot get RAPED in clippland

Westbrook is out for the Thunder with a torn meniscus
that shit is a bitch. ive torn it in both my knees. he may be able to play thru it after a while but his shit will get sore as hell if he isnt stretching it. i used to be able to skate on it after it healed a little, but youd have to stretch like crazy beforehand & if you sit down for like 5-10 it'd lock up & you'd have to stretch all over again. im surprised hes just now getting an injury tho. dudes played literally every single game since his rookie year. I think he played all his games in college too.

Good game.

"Whether it's a free country or not, you should be free to act as you want to do as long as it's not violent. No matter what it is. I came here in a Cookie Monster shirt because I wanted to, and I was going to wear the pants. But I thought you guys were going to judge me. I was going to wear the hat too. But I thought you guys would judge me. I didn't want Mitch [Kupchak] to judge me. So that's why I didn't wear the hats and the pants. But I should've wore it. You should be free to do and act how you want to act."
MWP definitely should have worn the cookie monster pants.

Anyone else think Kevin Martin shoot like a bitch?

The celtics/Knicks game was good to watch down the stretch. Definitely some Boston magic there for a minute, but NY was able to pull it off. Hopefully my bulls get this game 7 tho man, shit is gonna be intense. NY & Chi-town my East coast teams y'all already know who I'm rootin for.
Congrats to all the warriors fans they've always been loyal even throughout all the years they were straight trash so y'all deserve a lil playoff hype. I want em to surprise the spurs & win the series. Steph curry a young beast & I've always liked mark Jackson, so here's to hoping for the underdog upset!
With Westbrook gone this Houston/OKC series is definitely alot more interesting, but man I'd be heated as fuck if Houston pulls it off lol. Memphis/Clips been as good a series as expected. I'd prefer the clips to win but I ain't mad at Memphis cuz they out here ballin on that super-gritty shit. I can fuck with it.
Anyone else think Kevin Martin shoot like a bitch?
I be wettin that shit in 2K so no. His free throw is definitely bitchmade tho, lol

Nets got raped by the Bulls B squad. Best game ever I was going nuts when Joakim threw it down over
Joe Johnson gets 2-13 in game 7 at home! This is how he earns his max contract ::)

Knicks are the last chucking team left, chucking gets you nowhere in the playoffs

the bulls are gunna get fucking torched without heinrich.... nate robinson is playing crazy but doesnt put up assists or play defense. I say the series go 4-1 miami because chicago will intentional foul to a win like last time
-
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.

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.

damnit... that chick in the crowd that was screaming was annoying as fuck. gonna be a good series, spurs better watch out.

I was watching the game online and heard that bitch. Would think the NBA or TNT would move her ass to another seat so everyone at home didn't have to hear that shit.

i usually prefer the underdog, but I love the heat. props to the bulls for the defense.
stef curry is a boss.
ginobili is was soo open.

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.
-
told yall dudes , mother fucking spurs !!!
bad luck this game , nothing really going in , but playing like a team , never giving up , Game went from being total shit to one of the best games fucking ever . catching up like 15 points the last 4 mins , tying it up in the first OT , then fucking murking them
SPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURs

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. Talent=Talent.

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.

Ok Mr. If-you're-gonna-make-what-if-statements-they-better-be-as-realistic-as-possible-or-else-you're-regular.

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.

Indiana got a great shot at the ECF.. Indiana vs Miami and SA vs Memphis
OKC is just shit, reggie jackson and Fisher on the floor at the same time is recipe for disaster. 2 close games at home vs Memphis is a panic button

As was pointed out earlier, Nate Rob's biggest disadvantage is not his height but his brain. Having slightly more length isn't necessarily going to make you a better defender if you can't defend for shit in the first place.
Plus, if he was tall he wouldn't be able to do hilarious stuff like this.

Nate is a sideshow, he goes from team to team bringing his energy and quickness. Perfect fit for chicago, they have no other shooters and Nate can distribute the ball. He is playing out of his mind the last few months... I just can't buy in after watching his entire uneventful career on every team in the NBA

O RLY? Remember these gems?
Paragraphs are paragraphs. Clippers OWN Memphis plain and simple. They are big vegas favorites despite Memphis having homecourt
Regardless, NBA has the script that keeps atleas 1 LA team advancing past the 1st round. Besides that LAC has Chris paul, and 3 point shooting. Would say dunking but that's not a huge advantage
Good luck Mike Conley and gasol, these dudes are going ot get RAPED in clippland
LA vs SAS round 1, upset city
The NBA hates San Antonio, they have no chance vs the NBA darling lakers.

Stoked on the Warrior's they're playing with a lot of poise for a young team. My Bulls got fuckin trampled but I guess you can expect that with a re-inspired Heat team in Miami with a depleted roster. Both teams 1-1 going back to their homecourt makes both series very interesting.

Lebron should have gotten up and ninja kicked Nazr in the jaw
But instead he floppd on a shove even though it was definitely going to lead to an ejection either way. Lebron's a pussy. Remember when he was complaining about Kirk Hinrich fouling too hard? The dude is a fucking freight train going through the lane and Hinrich was trying to protect himself. I guess that's the kind of attitude you develop when ESPN decides your an all-star already when you're a junior in high school.
And Nate Robinson is an incredible player when he is hot like in game 1, but he's very streaky. He also takes a lot of dumb shots for example he went 1-7 from three and his lone 3-pointer was 6 feet outside line. It's exactly what the Bulls need to win 3 more against the Heat.
It has been a really exciting series and I'm looking forward to game 4.

And Nate Robinson is an incredible player when he is hot like in game 1, but he's very streaky. He also takes a lot of dumb shots for example he went 1-7 from three and his lone 3-pointer was 6 feet outside line. It's exactly what the Bulls need to win 3 more against the Heat.
It has been a really exciting series and I'm looking forward to game 4.
I wouldn't exactly call Lebron a "pussy" but you gotta man up in situations like that and take a swing. He literally got shoved to the ground and just stood there like it don't even matter. I wonder if a James jones type will be sent in to put a hit on Nazr next game.. because Lebron is "too valuable to his team" (NOT, Heat are still the best team without him)
This Memphis game is getting heated, crazy how slow OKC plays without Russ Memphis taking full advantage
-
anybody hating on the refs in the bulls game... should realize they missed like 20 free throws.. lebron had a bad night and still beat them easily. the bulls cant play dirty shoving people on the ground and trying to fight people and then complain about the refs
-
These are some great Semis. Not going to lie, if it turned out to be a Grizzlies-Pacers Finals, I would explode from the excitement.
-
damn... i didn't see that win coming after that shitty first half. got lucky, but came through in overtime. hopefully Curry and Thompson can get things going in San Antonio....
-
Poor Curry, at least the Dubs got the W.

i aint mad at em for it. obviously he'd be a huge help right now but it was financial decision & they got the best possible return at the time with Martin. If anything it just goes to show how important Westbrook is for this team.
-
I think that team deserved one more year to go at the title in okc. I suppose you get modified Russ and Ibaka flocka flame out of shipping harden out early but who's to say he would have played himself out of a job in a contract year? In my mind the move was always to wait at the end of the year and get a sign and trade done.

Dub nation hasn't made a peep all day.

Spurs doing everything better this game , deffence , offence , rebounds , shooting , Everything
If they stop missing so much , like manu and some others , just play smart and for the team , pick up rebounds
then they got the next game too
Spurs - warriors are the only good games , Heat are too dominant , and the other games are abit low on score and just too meeeeeh
-
yes i agree, if they stop missing so much they will win, great analysis
-
Time for Melo to prove he's not a loser
IF Indiana wins tonight im setting my Melo jersey on fire
-

well what should I say ? I mean if they were not taking the shots at all they would need to shoot more , if they are missing the shots they need to make them .
I mean at the end of the day should we just say . If they played better they would win ? cant be that general eh ?

More like JR Smith. Reigning 6th man of the year & he has been trash these past several games. I like what Shaq & Kenny had to say about him last night. He's always had that all-star talent but has been known to be immature & lack focus. If he wants to prove to himself & everybody else he's ready for the spotlight, nows the time. Ive always been a fan so I hope he goes for like 30 off the bench tonight, and plays well enough to push this series to a game 7.

JR has all the athletic ability, yet he settles for contested jumpers.. It's like yeah you're wide open but only because he's one of the best dunkers in NBA history.
Immaturity on the Knicks is hard to watch, it's not just JR.. they complain on every call and don't act like professionals. Chucking teams don't work in playoff basketball. Mike Brown is the coach of the year IMO for putting up with their bullshit
Current news, Miami is taking care of business. NOONE CAN BEAT THIS TEAM
-
Tayshaun Prince with the dunk of the playoffs, holy shit that was insane
-

Fucking filthy.
Also, I used to hate on westbrook for being a ballhog and not a real pointguard but shit, the thunder look flat without him
-
The Thunder shot like shit tonight but Tony Allen's defense on KD was still god-like. I'm starting to like this team more and more. Kind of hope they take the western conference this year. It'd be cool to see them take on the Warriors.
-
That okc game was infuriating to watch. Not enough offensive rebounding and uncharacteristically bad ball handling. KD was trying to do too much and scott brooks shouldve reeled him in a little bit and got them playing faster earlier, or at least use Durant to draw defenders better. That series was winnable, they werent losing by huge margins either but the panic in their systems really got to them. The knicks series will probably end the same way this one did. Also the Grizzles are fucked if the spurs beat the warriors.
-
Also the Grizzles are fucked if when the spurs beat the warriors.
-
What makes yall so sure the Spurs can beat Memphis? Remember 2 years ago when they were the number 1 seed & got knocked out the first round? Memphis' physicality might be too much for the older spurs, the only way they will win that series is if Manu, Parker, & Duncan put up very good numbers every game.
-
Grizzlies all the way
I've been messing with Z-Bo and them boys for a minute!
-
Yeah why the hell are some people acting like the Grizzlies are done once they meet the Spurs? Paker and Manu are going to have to deal with Conley and Tony Allen guarding them. Not to mention they also have the defensive player of the year in Marc Gasol down low. Golden State can be scrappy defensively, but Memphis is much more rugged and on another level. It is going to be a damn good series.
-
Grizzlies all the way
I've been messing with Z-Bo and them boys for a minute!

Would've rather SA played OKC w/o Westbrook but whatevs. Memphis vs. SA is a solid Western Conference Finals....it'll be a physical series, but I think the Spurs have more experience, better coaching, and shoot the 3 ball way better than Memphis, giving them the edge.

I'd be much more into watching the Heat and respect them if they had to go through the western conference. I think they match up well against OKC, but teams that can score in the post and have a deep roster can take the Heat. Lucky for them they dont even have to try until the finals because of how much of a joke the eastern conference is. They can afford to not really have a healthy Wade, and last year they did the same with Bosh. In a western conference series that shit wont work. Every game is critical.
and by the way that is mike woodson coaching the knicks. not brown.

Yeah if you're a spurs fan you would want to see them play OKC without Westbrook. But as a fan of the NBA in general, why would you ever want that matchup? Its a given the spurs would win. OKC isnt going to beat teams past the 2nd round without Westbrook.
As far as coaching goes, Pop is easily the best coach in the league. but Hollins one hell of a coach too.
-
Pops is really good but Spoelstra made the heat an amazing team and is making everyone else change how they play. I hate the heat but you gotta give credit where its due.
-
Spoelstra is a great coach, but Hollins? You gotta watch some more NBA games, the guy is complete idiot, especially in late game situations. Even last night Memphis always blew the game
UGLY game tonight in NY, Pacers got screwed by the refs but that's standard in extending the series. Hibbert's 2nd foul was one of the worst i've ever seen
-
I give heat no credit.We're missing 3 top notch players.
BTW anyone notice david spade wearing a anti-hero hat in the tnt basketball commercial with adam sandler
-
Good season for the Warriors, going to my first game in November. Never thought they'd make it this far into the season.
I see Jack signing back with the team, but letting Landry go.
-
I don't know why everyone is so dismissive about the Grizzlies. They can potentially beat the Spurs, and I will take it a step farther than that. If they play Miami in the Finals...It is a toss up and the only reason I lean towards Miami is because they were there last year. Other than that, I would have sided with the Grizz. Their strengths are exactly what Miami would not want to go against. We are not talking about one dominant figure down low but 2, in Z-Bo and Gasol. That would be a great series.
-
nobody is going to beat the heat, the spurs, but the grizzles will make a better series than spurs will, that said, i love the spurs and their style.
-
Pops is really good but Spoelstra made the heat an amazing team and is making everyone else change how they play. I hate the heat but you gotta give credit where its due.
No doubt, Spoelstra made the heat an amazing team. Not that guy named Lebron James being the best player on the planet teamed up with two other superstars and solid role players...

Despite the superstars I do think Spoelstra is a pretty good coach. There's always gonna be a ton of pressure coaching a squad like that but I think he's handled it well as well as managing the ego's of the players & things like that. He cant be too incompetent if Pat Riley's backing him, ya know?

you formed that sentence right after calling someone else and idiot..
are you kidding me? yeah what is so great about Spoelstra?Lebron James made Mike Brown look like a good coach. You could take Wade and Bosh off that team and still get through the eastern conference with ease. He got worked by Rick Carlisle in the 2011 finals. That is why I'd be more intrigued to watch the Heat take on a team other than OKC because the Thunder's style of play is a good matchup for the Heat. the Spurs or Grizzlies would create a series where Spoelstra would have to make adjustments.
Hollins adapted to having his top scorer and all star caliber player traded mid season. He's got that team motivated and playing his style of rugged defensive minded basketball.
No need to keep talking about the Knicks and Pacers series. Its not like the Knicks are going anywhere nor is it a good product of basketball.

I agree, I think he is a decent coach, but I'm just saying you give him the Grizzlies, Pacers, Nuggets, or Spurs and Spoelstra wouldnt be taking those teams to great records. Maybe he could, I don't know. Im going off what I see and I dont see him as a great strategic coach. Riley has forgotten more about basketball than I'll ever know so who am I to say this? If the Heat win it all this season then I'll give him more credit because he will have beaten good teams strategically rather than his superstars out dueling the Thunder's superstars. If they lose then we will see how he deals with the immense pressure

You can say the Spurs are the favorites to win, but Memphis is not the type of team that gets murdered. They are way too good defensively to not at least be competitive in a series like this.

Amazing game !
Now I was gonna write a post about that San Antonio really moving the ball around , shooting alot better then they did against the warriors and that their defence were working over time on man to man and picking up rebounds much better then against the warriors .
Shutting down key memphis players , almost 30 poing lead at one point
but Ill leave it to beer keg peg leg who said these words of wisdom
yes monty they spurs will win if they can make the basketball go through the basket more than memphis can

i'm a bulls fan and the spurs are one of my favorite teams to watch in the whole league. i just think it's weird when you say stuff like 'they shot the ball better! they got more rebounds! they played better defense' its like yeah ok dude...how about telling us why you think they shot the ball better, what were they doing on defense to disrupt memphis...you always just post when the playoffs or on, stuff that someone could figure out from reading the box score.
-
Boo-hoo nigga this is SLAP aint nobody paying Monty Burns to be an expert basketball analyst. All I know is that he said the Spurs were gonna murder the Grizzlies & that's basically what happened as of Game 1. Until Memphis bounces back with a win, any pro-Spurs shit talking and/or uninformed team-hyping is all good. The Grizzlies were salty for losing as bad as they did but I highly doubt Zach Randolf will have another 2 point game any time soon.

yeah if only the grizzlies had a 7'8" spud webb they could have defeated the spurs

Well currently i think spolstra is great because hes sticking to a style and its working. hes built his offense and defense around analytics and size mismatches that weigh just as much on guys like battier as it does on lebron. Obviously lebron is good and it lends a certain flexibility to his current style that may not exist on other teams but on the other hand, lebron isnt the only guy on the team playing defense. its especially noticeable when theyre against good teams because a lot of times other teams wont adjust to it because they think its bullshit. I think the style caught a lot of people off guard.
Small ball and mismatch has existed forever but most of the time teams dont build their whole strategy around using it and i think that the heat winning the finals against a pretty dominant thunder team really got people to look at the way he was doing things.
Also spoelstras big on analytics. other coaches are too and its also been around forever but hes reaaally into it. He builds data sets for other teams and he finds ways to use it to suggest adjustments to players and when he rotates guys on/off the court, and how to maximize a players potential. You can totally make the argument that lebron kinda fuddles how much of an effect this stuff has had and then the general incompetence of the eastern conference but im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Contrast that with popovich who isnt into computer analytics and sticks mostly to fundamentals/using his system. Hes a magician for seeing things others dont but thats not really that accessible to other coaches, what spoelstras is doing is something anybody can do which makes his style more game changing.
All of this kinda makes this years potential finals really interesting if it ends up being spurs-heat. Its either a huge referendum on what spoelstra's doing or the ultimate vindication. The old master vs the new kid on the block. Ok, so maybe hes not the ~best~ coach but hes certainly one of the most interesting ones in the league in the last decade. anyways thats just my opinion.

his system is offensive system is totally dependent on lebron, just like d'antonis was on nash. if you don't have a transcendent talent creating super efficient offense you will get destroyed on the boards playing small ball. i admire his defensive schemes though.

Good game last night, cutting into that lead in the fourth to bring it to OT, thought i popped a molly for a minute there.
Predicting Griz to take game 3 in a nail biter won by a shot in the final seconds. (but would love SA to win in 4 for the rest before the finals)
-
memphis should play bayless and pondexter more to give them some more offense because their starting line up only has 3 guys that can consistently score. tony allen/tayshaun prince are not giving you much on the offensive end. z-bo gotta step up too.
-
Memphis played one and a half good quarters, maybe, last night, let alone this entire series, I can only imagine what could if they can do it for an entire game. Defensively this team is a shell of what they should be. Pick n roll/Pick n Pop could not be stopped. Nobody seemed to rotate nor close out as threes were raining last night from San Antonio. Mike coloney is getting out played by Parker and can't seem to stay in front him. Offensivley they haven't been getting good looks down low and the reason seems to be Tiago splitter. He's not giving up an inch of space to Gasol and likewise with Duncan on Randolph. The lack of athleticism in the post seems to hurt Memphis; they have been able to guard Randolph with Leonard/Duncan/splitter almost never giving up a mismatch. The Parker/green/Leonard/splitter/Duncan line up might be the most efficient defensive line up this post season. When not able to get down low the guard play from Memphis is horrendous at worst and sketchy at best. You aren't going to win this series running mike coloney and tony Allen iso. The bench stepped it up some but they still need some more fire power. The only chink in the spurs armor seems to be matt bonner's defense or lack thereof. That 13-2 run in the end of the 4q happened because pop decided to play bonner instead of splitter (I don't quite remember if Tiago was in foul trouble or not). Going back to the grindhouse Memphis is going to recover from this defensive amnesia if they want to avoid being made fools of by this near perfect spurs team.

Just shit on their hopes and dreams? Crushing way to lose a game, but the Pacers almost took them out game 1 on their home floor.. If there is a team that won't be shaken up from this loss, its the pacers. Miami is going to be in for one hell of a fight.

good game, i only watched the OT, it was funny how confused everyone was that roy hibbert was not on the floor for that final layup.
I hope Indiana responds well, at least wins a game.
-
fuck lebron and the heat
i kinda want memphis to win the west because i think they have a better chance of beating the heat, but you gotta respect duncan and the spurs, plus ginobli and parker are fun to watch. the 2-0 lead might be too much for memphis at this point
-
What the fuck was Vogel thinking at the end of the game?
"Hey, we lost but at least Hibbert didn't foul out!"
Conservative tactics don't win games in the playoffs.
The Pacers got lucky and had chances to win but squandered them and James took advantage and made that shit look easy.
+Prepare 4 Randolph's revenge! Coming soon!
-
^that call was anything but conservative. Miami had four shooters on the floor with birdman as a non factor. Vogel didn't want to put hibbert out there to get matched up with bosh in a situation where hibbert ends up helping, leaving bosh to hit an open 18 footer. By all means it was a poor decision you can live with bosh taking that shot to beat you but having lebron get to the rim when defensive 3 seconds is a non issue and you can easily run zone. Poor decision most definitely but conservative I'm rolling my eyes at that one.

How was it not conservative?
He was trying to protect Hibbert from getting another foul so that he could be on the floor in the case of a potential offensive possession at the end of the game.
That's being conservative
You put your best defender on the floor in that situation no matter what.
+You really thought LeBron wasn't going to take the last shot? hahaha Nobody was worried about Bosh!
-
A conservative defense has a big man protecting the rim despite match up issues. Benching hibb had nothing to do with being in foul trouble and everything to do with who was on the floor. You don't think bosh can make mid range jumpers? Don't be a toy he's made a living off the worst shot in basketball. Go back and watch the play again and try to dissect it in an intellegent matter. You might find that Paul George takes his eyes off lebron for one second to see what ray allen is up to in the corner.
+the definition of conservative:
1. Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.
2. Traditional or restrained in style: a conservative dark suit.
3. Moderate; cautious: a conservative estimate.
Not having a rim protector is the opposite of moderate and cautious when you are up 1 point with 2.2 seconds left.
+there was no way in hell you were going to get an extra possession without fouling anyways and in that situation you think you are going to get a foul on someone hope they make one or less, inbound the ball with a second or less and then get the ball down to hib on the block? Don't think so.
-
Not reading any of that nonsense.
You can't even justify it!
It was a conservative move that cost them the game, end of story!!

he wasn't even trying to justify it he was just explaining to you how it technically wasnt a "conservative" move. basically you just need to use better adjectives if you want to seem like you know what you're talking about
-
Why the fuck would they be saving Hibbert for the next offensive possession when they were 1 point ahead with only 2.2 on the clock? Even if Miami scored on a quick catch and shoot there probably wouldn't have been enough time for Hibbert to do shit on the other end.
-
Cant wait for the Game tonight. I got the Pacers winning this one. If they do, I wouldn't want to be Miami. I had Pacers in 6 before the Series.
-
If i was vogal, i'd rather have bosh attempt a wide open jumper, then lebron attack the rim without hibbert guarding.
I'm also, not vogal, im a white kid who shoots 25% from the free throw line.
-
^hoops 101
-
Nice game by Indiana. Paul George really steppin up & coming into his own. I aint gon lie I always kinda slept on the Pacers but they're a good team & I always kinda liked Vogel for how he came up as an interim coach that spoke with alot of confidence in his team. Will be interesting to see how Miami responds in game 3
-
wade has to play better. ray allen and shane battier also have to start hitting their shots as well. Miami shooters have been non-existent.

smh monty burns looking like a basketball genius right about now. 3-0 lead? Damn!
i wasn't chastising him because he said the spurs would win, i was doing it because he would say shit like 'damn the spurs need to rebound more and shoot better then they will win'...generic shit that he tried to pass off as analysis that was really just a statement that could be said about every game of basketball that has ever been lost ever.
-
also the spurs are just fucking beautiful to watch on both ends of the floor. gasol and randolph CANNOT score when duncan is guarding them. that was so badass when they were getting blown out in the first and pop put in all the bench players and totally mind fucked hollins chris angel style. whoever it was saying spo was better than pop better check themselves. i thought memphis would be the better matchup against miami but damn i think the spurs can actually beat the heat...i know its early but shit...this is basketball.
-
Im no basketball super mind . I got lucky that when I moved to the US I moved to SA . So thats why Im a Spurs fan
In the start vs the warriors the main problem I thought was that the spurs on defence wasnt really working the defence , warriors dudes could go in , pick up their rebounds and then start over and shoot again . Spurs usualy do good defence , they stick to their dudes and pick up rebounds . This is key to winning games as you could see against the lakers and now memphis .
Its deff not something only I know or takes a genius to see . But if we are talking about basketball its a fair point for me to bring up , we cant just sit here in this thread and post scores , I thought we were talking about things that happen in the game
Heat might be in trouble now . both games were close and now its 2 away games for them , I really disslike the heat and bird man , so wouldnt be too bad for the Spurs if the heat got smoked
-
The heat will win if norris cole plays more minutes. They need a small guy zipping around the court to stress the pacers out a little bit and force some mistakes.
-
Wow. Give Spoelstra some more credit for that first half. 70 points in the first half in Indiana despite shooting only 4-5 three point attempts. Lebron's post up ability is impressive.
-
Somewhere in serbia, Vlade divac is shedding tears of joy over battier and wades oscar-worthy performances.
Also, give it up to haslam, definitely was not expecting him to put up points the way he has.
-
finally the heat shooters wake the fuck up.
lebron goin back in the post like he did last year against okc and abusing paul george

Word Im stoked for T-Mac. Im suprised they SWEPT the grizzlies tho, i thought theyd at least put up a pretty good fight. Anyway, with the Spurs as the last "old" team standing id like to see them win it all this year. With all these new teams coming up with the old dynasties coming down its sorta like a changing of the guard. It would be cool to see them cap off the end of an era with a championship.
-
Yay ! ;D
Whats going on with the pacers ? first 2 games really close , pacers just loosing by bad luck almost , and then game 3 was Heat killing the pacers ?
I guess if they tie it up now they can do it , Heat being the Heat though
Anyways I have faith in the spurs , go spurs !

As a lifelong Dallas Mavs fan I dislike the Spurs and never root for them, but I have to respect them. I have total hatred for the Heat though so it's easy to back the Spurs for this.

The Lebron foul was a tripping foul, they were calling it all game on both sides but in that situation I was surprised they blew the whistle.

hahahahaa sorry skatefase but sticking your leg out on a screen to trip an opposing player is a foul, deal with it

As much as im loving the pacers popping the heats cherry, i really want to see spurs-heat. Game 3 heat was the same as game 3(?) knicks, the pacers just crumbled. It almost doesnt count.game 4 they were completely unphased. This could easily be 3-1 pacers lead. Why arent they putting norris cole on the court? The dude literally runs around like a squirrel and feeds the ball to the right guys at the right moments, draws defenders. and is overall a very annoying player to keep up with. I think a guy like him really has something to offer when youre playing a game against a team that has to keep big guys on court and cant really go small. He ups the tempo.
-
Don't care who the Spurs play, just want this series to go to 7 to wear either team out, Spurs getting 9 days off is a gift, those fools need it.
-
Kinda agree with that . longer break for the spurs , more practice , more rest , more bodies healing up
if it goes to game 7 that would be great .
-
The Pacers Heat series will be taxing even if it goes to 6 games those guys are pratically wresting each other under the basket half the time. Pacers just beat up on you that's how they play. You can tell Lebron is getting worn out having to guard West and pretty much the whole team on switches as the series goes.
-

That same statement can be said for just about every team and 3 in the league. At this point you just have to let lebron get his and worry about every one else.
-
spurs are a complete team, incredibly well disciplined, and all talented defenders. they wont stop lebron, but they will frustrate him. if he even gets there.
-
..Well coached AND battle tested. Being from Houston, I'm by no means a spurs fan, but you cant deny the chemistry those guys have. It's like if one of the 3 have a bad night, one of their other players step up. Even Diaw's fatass.
I hate this time of year however. The Astros are an abomination so baseball is outta the question.

-
Does anyone else think Dwade is a washed up punk at this point in his career? Breaking Kobes nose in the all star game, kicking that one guy in the nuts, the elbow he threw at David West... I think that if he wasnt a former finals mvp he'd be getting a lot of shit for being a dirty player. Whats worse is that he isnt even that good anymore. Fucking chalmers has been playing better than he has. The only way the heat get past the pacers is if lebron puts up two monster games because the rest of the heat are being outplayed by the pacers.
PS Fuck the heat but I could not believe lebron's 6th foul or D wades travel call in game 4
-
I'm kinda indifferent about the lebron call but wades travel was super obvious. He ran like he was about to pull up for the 3, hesitated for second then changed his mind & tried to put the ball back on the floor to make another pass. I actually laughed when I saw it. I wouldn't say he's washed up just yet because he always has the potential to make plays but he's definitely on the downside of his career as his body starts to slow down. He gets a lil carried away on the court sometimes but I think personally he's a decent guy. You see him take that one Miami heat fangirl to prom? Granted she was actually pretty hot but still that's pretty cool to do ona celebrity level, although at the same time kinda iffy to do during the playoffs.
What I wanna know is what he's been doing with that knee of his. Funny how hell leave the game to retape it then all of the sudden comes out guns blazing. When Craig Saeger asked how does it help him all he could say was "it does a lot of things". I mean really you would think a professional athlete would have a more concrete answer to such a simple question. Like "it just gives me peace of mind" or " it helps to retape it after the first wrap gets a little loose" or some shit like that. I dunno that shit just seems kinda weird to me.
-
He's probably getting some weird shit done to it in the locker room during those little time outs. Sports medicine is crazy as hell nowadays.
Wade definitely looked bad for stretches in game 4 though, so I don't think the Heat can afford many more injuries against the Pacers. The big three were all kind of bad actually, and the three point shooting is still not there. It's kind of funny considering the talk about how crucial three pointers are to 'modern' NBA offense that the Knicks and Golden State are out of the playoffs, and the favourited teams in each of the conference finals have shot a pretty poor 3 point % in their series' so far (or are the Grizzlies/Pacers). Entirely meaningless, but funny.

Does anybody like the heat? I sure as fuck don't. Of the three teams left I'm pulling for the Spurs.

"Birdman Birdman" *Shaq voice* is suspended for game 6. He's been providing good minutes for an already thin Miami frontline, so it should be interesting to see what kind of numbers West & Hibbert put up & how Miami deals with them. Would really like to see this series go to game 7 just for the hell of it.
-
psycho T would destroy birdman
-
No Birdman Pacers will have a huge rebounding advantage. PG has to realize his true role tonight and dominate the ball. I like that he makes and effort to get his teamates touches but he's thier best offensive option put Stepenson/West on LB more and let PG go to work.
Tonight's game should be a wild one hope Pacers get the W.

Fuck it, I'm on the Indy bandwagon too. Game 7 is gonna be a beaut.

Good for Hibbert calling out the media that they don't watch Indiana games. Pacers don't even exist and get no coverage on TV. They are small market but I'm sure Stern will be so bummed if the Pacers make it.
I'm fully backing the Pacers.

Jason Kidd just retired, Grant Hill last week.

Ernie Johnsons "easy easy , we are all black friends" was so good . Inside the NBA is really funny most times
-
The Heat's defense is giving Roy Hibbert blue balls, no homo. All those first half turnovers might well come back to bite Indiana in the ass later on too. As much as they need the ball in Paul George's hands at certain times his decision making with the ball isn't great.
That Bosh and Wade shooting spree at the beginning was weird. As mediocre as Bosh has been I think his stinky mid range jumpers may be a better option than sending Wade to the rim only to run into a brick wall when Hibbert's on the floor.
-
the fix is in, this game is over.

Some of these inside traks are a little too WWF-ish.

the spurs are a better basketball team but you can't underestimate the fact that this is sterns last year. does he want his legacy to be defined by the team he hates the most in the world winning and giving him the ultimate FUCK YOU for a sendoff? this motherfucker gonna pull out his best ref goons to make sure spurs lose.

Indiana didnt really "do their thing". Outside of the turnovers, it seemed like hibbert was out of it and foul trouble kept him and george from taking more risks/shots/nastier picks. They shouldve taken green out or not played him at all, he gave up some important points and any possible momentum probably. Indiana definitely wasnt in the right headspace.
I wanna say spurs in 6 only because i think pops probably has an effective way to deal with miami fronting the post and dealing with lebron in the low post and closing lanes and keeping ray allen out of the game, but i feel like an effective small game could get parker in foul trouble and fuck with the spurs? Especially since the heat has such a good transition offense so maybe heat in 6? Especially if the refs call a bunch of bullshit flops.

I can't predict the future but I have been watching NBA basketball for 20 years and if there's anything I do know it's that in the playoffs defense, coaching/strategy depth, and shooting are what wins championships and Spurs have the advantage on all of those categories.
I would love to say Spurs will sweep but that's not going to happen. I think Miami will win game 1 off of ECF trophy momentum and San Antonio will come out a bit rusty. Spurs will make the adjustments and dominate the rest of the series.

truth be told I wouldnt even be surprised with the way the whole heat team has been flopping. Granted Manu does enough of that on his own, but Lebron & Dwade will always get more superstar calls made for them. Spurs just gotta make sure the score isnt too tight at the end of the 4th because I really wouldnt put it beyond Stern to favor the Heat in this series for "basketball reasons". Joey Crawford to rescue!

George Karl & the Nuggets part ways. I'd like to see him go to the Clippers as well as Brian Shaw going to Brooklyn. I think GK would be that coach that commands respect from the Clippers, better develop Blake & DeAndre, and would get along perfectly with CP3. Shaw could also get a chance to sorta develop his own culture in Brooklyn which would be cool to see from Phil Jackson's protege.
-
I like George Karl and have alot of respect for him but the bottomline is you just can't win a championship playing a run and and style he'll always be sucessful but never get over the hump.
-
Game one tonight!! Miami is favoured by 5 points at home. I know LBJ has 25 pounds and 3 inches on Kawhi but I think KL is a better defender than Paul George interested to see how San Antonio plays Lebron will they double and leave open shooters or go with single coverage? let the chess match begin. GO SPURS GO!!
-
^Face up, sure, kawhi can guard lebron; well whatever you consider guarding the player on the planet, but in the post kawhi is gunna get bodied.
And to the guy who talked about the spurs fronting in the post, the spurs front everyone in the post. It's a great defensive trap when your oppenent doesn't have shooters which Miami has plenty of.
We never got to see these teams really play eachother in the regular season at full line up strength on both sides so its really hard to figure which way it goes.
Miami in 7 is the gut pick. Kinda of hard to to go against the best player of the floor theory. For me what it comes down to is tp's game versus lbj's.
Degenerate gambler pick for game 1: spurs +5

hope the fix some of the issues with my player mode like you being THE WORST PLAYER IN THE NBA even after you have a good rookie showcase.
nothing to say about that standard lebron choke job in the fourth? hehehehheheehhe
-
Wow what a good game. The best moments for me were Tony Parker's ridiculous buzzer beater and watching Tim Duncan score, reject a shot and draw a foul all on Birdman within the space of about a minute during the second quarter. Danny Green almost fucked it all up with that foul on Ray Allen's three-point attempt but Miami were so wasteful in the 4th quarter. Couple of bad late-game passes by Lebron a la game 2 of the Heat vs. Pacers series.
Since everyone's giving out their uninformed predictions, I'll say Spurs in 6, with Parker winning Finals MVP. Also we will probably see Mario Chalmers cry from Lebron and Wade's bullying at some point.

I do. Lebron took four shots in the 4th coming in at the nine minute mark. He hit two of them. Both of those were driving lay ups. Of the two misses one was a 26 footer (a 3 obv) the other was from 11 feet out. James got to the charity stripe once and hit two of two. baskteball junkies can admit the weakest pary of lebrons game is from here. Lebron also grabbed 7 boards: 2 offensive. In the nine minutes he played in the 4th he also dropped a dime. So quick recap 2-4 from the floor, 2-2 on the line, 7 rebounds and and an assist in nine minutes. Not exactly a choke job. If you want to say lebron did one thing poorly it was not playing selfishly. There were too many times when bron had good look and gave it up for what he perceived to be a better shot and his team mates didn't come through. In that fourth quarter it was bosh and wade who choked.
I'm not a lebron apologist but I can recognize game.

if he was having such success getting into the paint in the 4th, duncans (sidenote: best pf in the league also) in foul trouble, his teammates not hitting their shots/defense rotating onto them very well, then why did he only shoot 4 shots? lebron is a very smart player and kNOWS that he was making the wrong basketball plays. most likely a combination of lacking the clutch gene/wanting to stat pad his triple double. as to the ratios of which i can only speculate

This one was stellar too. I wonder if he knew he could make it through the defender's legs or if it just synced up perfectly as he was passing.

To be fair Tiago Splitter has little arms. T-Rex status.
-
Can't stand Lebron, and of course bummed on the Spurs second half...but god damn i saw that stuff and was like holy shit! that was one of the best blocks ive seen all year.
Popp is going to work those dudes to the bone, he is not a fan of turnovers by any means. Game 3 in SA should be good!
Edit: Who ever takes 2 of the next 3 in SA wins this series! GO SPURS!!!!
-
lebrick stat padding in garbage time after scoring four points in the most pivotal 30 minutes, shake my fuckin head
-
Had a feeling Heat we're going to bring thier A game for game 2 and boy did they ever that new-ish pick and roll offense where Lebron sets the screen is also kinda scary.
All that said San Antonio still has not played to thier potential and the series is tied. I think Duncan Parker and Manu really take control as the series shifts to San Antonio, Kahwi is also due for a good game don't be suprised is Spurs return the favour Tuesday night.
-
Spurs just played sloppy EVERYTHING , like they were panniced or something , always super close on the shot clock , really bad rebounding , bad deffence , passing was horrible at times , almost throwing it to no one .
I was almost screaming into a pillow sometimes
Anyways , calm down , Spurs home court , some texas crowd and cheerleaders , good for moral and will be super good to hear some cheering when spurs makes some nice 3 pointers
Green is the fucking truth
-
Judging by his form throughout this season and the playoffs, I really don't think you can expect that much from Manu at this point. They definitely need more offensively from Timmy and Kahwi though, particularly if the Heat are gonna press up on Tony Parker like they did in game 2.
Splitter was an idiot for trying to dunk that shit. I mean, the game was on the verge of being over at that point and he was looking for a momentum-shifting play but he showed Lebron exactly what he was going to do the moment he picked up that pass. Splitter has good hands at the rim so I don't know why he didn't just try and lay it in and maybe draw the foul or something instead of getting reverse posterized while already down 18 like a chump.
-
Irritating defensive schemes were irritating. I guess they werent expecting the heat to close down passing lanes like that and it eventually got to them in the 3rd quarter. Spurs were playing kinda sloppy but they hung in there thanks to greene but thats not something you can depend on. get tim duncan more shots or start being more comfortable with using tony parker as a decoy because theyre not gonna be able to spread the heats defense out consistently.
-
Manu is all over the place , missing passes , dropping the ball , missing 2s , flaying all over the place
I mean hes usualy a really good 3 point shooter . he still has flashes of brilliance though .
-

jalen rose was never dropping those stats in the clutch of the nba finals, spurs 30 point lead was in jeopardy t-mac was tasked with coming back in and establishing their lead and stopping the heats rythm from developing

Lolz, spurs fans trolling with that seven nation army chant, that was the icing on an already delicious cake. Heat totally choked though, the shooting is what it is but they werent really getting in between a lot of lazy passing. Shouldve been a lot more turnovers than that.

Fucking wish some of those points could spill over into game 4. going to be a different story for both side once Parkers MRI results come back...
EDIT: Results are negative on a tear, strained hamstring "Hopes to play" game 4.
Bring Avery back!
-
If Lebron is truly great he will put on an amazing performance that should ultimately result in a win, especially since he's publicly stated he takes the blame for that loss. I want the Spurs to win the series but if I had to put money down on game 4 i say Miami takes it. Lebron (should) go for 30+ points and/or a triple double with some late game heroics if needed.

I knew San Antonio was going bring it hard but god damn I did not expect that! Gary Neal and Danny Green were just torching Miami!! haven't seen a team shooting performance like that since Orlando hit 25 3s a few years ago. Now everyone thinks Miami is going to have thier signature bounce back game but you know what? I think thier luck runs out Thursday night that "on switch" will fizzle out Lebron will get his but Spurs will shut down everyone else
GO SPURS GOOOOOO!!!!
-
37 point lead , Green and Neil just fucking destroying the heat . Really nice to see players stepping up when Duncan and Parker are not having super games . Leonard is amazing too , Manu playing like he shoul , Wish the red mamba was hitting those 3s though
When the spurs machine is working its the ultimate team , so much teamwork and so much heart
San Antonios home crowed is just fucking great too !

Really stoked on Jason Kidd getting the job as the new head coach for the Nets. Should be interesting to see what kind of a coach he becomes.
-
idiotic move by the nets.
-
Didn't the owner Prokhorov promise a championship by 2015? I don't think hiring a coach with ZERO actual coaching experience is really the best way to go about that, although, with all honesty, the roster they have locked up until 2015 wouldn't be a contender even with Pops on the bench instead of Jason Kidd.
-
Anybody who voluntarily wants to work with d dub has a deathwish.

Dan gilbert also promised the cavs would win a championship in cleveland before the heat would (in comic sans no less) and look how far that went....
Anyways kidd getting the job sucks for the nets but itll be fun for everybody else to watch. Who knows, maybe he'll do a good job. They say hes improved every team hes been on as a player.
-
As a player though... coaching is a whole different animal. The Nets seem to be an unmotivated team (a la Joe Johnson), yet one of the biggest payrolls. It will certainly be interest to see how he handles that.
Anybody who voluntarily wants to work with d dub has a deathwish.
Was thinking the same thing. Probably the biggest obstacle for Kidd.
-
Him & Deron Williams are supposedly real cool and D-Will always looked up to him as a player so he has that going for him. Obviously it's gonna take a while for him to adjust to coaching, and he's gonna have alot of pressure on him in Brooklyn, but I've got faith in him. He's always been one of the smartest point guards and he has 19 years of NBA experience. If anything he has potential. Give em a few years (if he happens to last that long) and well see where he's at.
-
made $100 last game on duncan scoring 6 points in the first
gonna make another $100 on kawhai leonard scoring 13

^ where are you getting your props from? Cosmo Kramers bookie?

I love in professional sports when there's a questionable call (the moving screen call on Duncan where Bosh flopped) and they bring out an "expert" to explain why the refs were right when even the commentators were confused by the call.
-
Heat should be up by more, that passing is gonna kick the spurs in the ass in the 2nd half if they dont fix it.
-
spurs fell apart..hope they get their shit together asap

I still hate the 2-3-2 format. It makes no sense and gives very little lee-way to the team with no home court. It is difficult to beat any team 3 in a row so I don't get how it is beneficial in this age of basketball. Having said that, I do believe the Spurs win game 5.
-
:'(
-
Spurs have to win game 5 or its a wrap in 7 for sure. D Wade finally played some ball. SA needs Splitter to sit on the bench, dude just can't handle the basketball at all, and his free throws are so hard to watch.
-
This series has been interesting as fuck to watch; both teams playing at an extremely high level. The fuck happened to Parker and Ginobili last game though? Like dude on grantland said, Parker has to play on a transcendent superstar level for the Spurs to win...now they have to beat Miami 2 out of 3 with 2 of the games in Miami, i dunno man...

parker has a hamstring injury?
-
This Tony Parker injury is really gonna fuck the Spurs down the stretch I think even though it's supposed to be "not that serious". You could see how taking him out of the game early completely screwed up their offensive rhythm yesterday, and with the way Manu's playing they really have almost no ball-handling or consistent scoring threat to come off the bench and fill in Parker's minutes.
If two out of the Lebron, Wade and Bosh triumvirate can perform at a reasonably high level for the rest of the series I don't really think the spurs have a chance. Miami just have more firepower and more good offensive lineups to work with when the Spurs are only able to play their stars for like 30 mins each per game.
-
wow somebody said something intelligent ^
-
My honest opinion is that the spurs are fucked. The passing is the root of their problem and maybe two games arent enough to fix it. Tony parker and manu dont have to play amazing games, if they can play average that would probably be enough, the real problem is how the spurs would rather make bad passes than try shooting. Thryre always running out of time on the shotclock and end up getting forced shots that are bad, or theyve inadvertnently funneled the ball to a bad area and get trapped. I dont know what it is, be it floor pressure or just the bright lights of the finals but theyre just not making it happen. 20 point conversion off of 19 turnovers with 9 or 10 being unforced? Am i wrong? Please tell me. Their passing is their strength but also an exploitable weakness.
-
^ lol
-
The spurs have to win game 6 I think. If it goes to seven I dont see the heat losing at home. I hope I'm wrong but I expect the heat to win by 20 in game 6.
And where has lebron been? Kawhi leonard is playing great defense but still...
-
^ lol
Well to be honest they (especially manu) were making a lot more shot attempts instead of trying to pass their way out of situations and the heat werent as hard on the spurs as they were the game before.
-
This series has been so back and forth everything I've said in this thread about each team's chances has been basically proven wrong by the time the next game is played. The Spurs obviously had an incredible offensive performance tonight (despite lots of turnovers) and I think a lot of that was down to Manu and Pop's use of him. Still, Miami put up 104, with Wade continuing to look good and Bosh actually playing like a half decent NBA center for stretches. I think this one is going to game 7.
Is anyone else psyched to see Ray Allen playing so well after his terrible playoffs last year? That stroke is looking as good as ever, no Hibbert.
-
Solid game last night, Heat getting back to within 1 point and then SA just put it on em again, that shit has to be frustrating. Great game...I expect it to go to 7, but would love the SPurs to close it out tomorrow night. They are the best team in NBA history to close out a series in a game 6 on the road (14-2). Miami will play with the intensity of not wanting to lose on there home court and take it to a game 7 but SA knows this road way to well.
It's going to come down to which team doesn't make more mistakes. If Manu can play like he did in game 5 and SA can get a little bit from everyone else, its gonna be awesome to watch Lebron watch the Spurs celebrate there championship on Miami's floor
-
Im also gonna go out on a limb and say spurs still had 19 turnovers with a 20 point conversion again, not all of those were on passes but it still kinda sucks especially if next game the heat get more physical with the spurs and slow down once they get the ball to get a higher conversion on the turnovers instead of trying to get sloppy fastbreak points. Theres also a good chance theyll start ray allen next game and try using him to set the tempo with layups instead of 3-pointers. i want the spurs to win but theres still 2 games and anything could happen. Definitely the best finals in a couple years. Imagine if it was grizzles vs. pacers...
-
so nervous now I kind of fast forward thought the games abit here and then
NBA season was amazing this year , shame its coming to a end next game , bye bye heat !

Tim Duncan on 30 points with four minutes left in the third quarter. If he goes for 40 does he get finals MVP?

i feel bad for kawhi leonard. that missed free throw is going to haunt them if they lose this series.
yes and no. yes because it was a big free throw but he still bailed the spurs out of a few bad possessions. dudes gonna be real good.
Fuck the heat
-
Kahwi Leonard was great in the fourth quarter despite that missed free-throw. It's frustrating though because they did have so many opportunities to put this one away but ended up giving the Heat enough rope to drag themselves back in to the game. If any of those missed free throws had gone down, or any of those last couple of defensive rebounds had gone the Spurs' way this might have been over.
-
Heat didnt win the game so much as the spurs lost it, big fuckin difference, lebron kept blowing it when it mattered, if theres anything to be said about his "legacy" is that hes fucking overrated. Kawahi shouldnt beat himself up over that free throw, manu should for some heineous passing. Webber said it best, "better to shoot 2 for 10 than 2 for 5 with - bunch of turnovers."
-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
-
I like watching both teams lose. I hate watching either team win. I hope it goes into infinite overtimes until a huge brawl breaks out, ejecting all players on both teams. At this point, im pretty sure they have to settle the series over a mud wrestling tournament between the cheerleaders. So based on the cheerleaders roster, im pretty sure that the miami heat will win.

They got got so lucky it's not even funny the worst rebounding team in the NBA coming up with 2 miraculous offensive rebounds and hitting threes, missed FTs, blown calls (Ginobli)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Leonard won't regret that free throw anymore than anybody else that missed a shot in the fourth.
Game seven. We so excited.
yeah dude, two turnovers in the last thirty seconds of regulation totally wasn't blowing it. dude got bailed out hard by his stacked team.
He's had bad turnovers in the last few minutes of close games throughout these playoffs, actually. It kinda looks like he's having a lot harder time handling the pressure this year as compared to last. The dude actually looked like he was about to cry coming out of the huddle after that turnover, which is why I was so surprised to see him hit that three pointer on the second try after his putrid first attempt.
Anyway, here's hoping for a solid Spurs victory (and hopefully some more exceptional drama a la Game 6).

lets just hate on the fucking heat and lebron the whole time because they made the finals three times in a row.

They seem like assholes(besides lebron)
lebron complains after every single play that doesn't go his way
they got all the calls down the stretch-no foul call on manu getting mugged and bosh landing his full body into green as he shot a three?
manu lost the spurs that game though, he made aboue 30 bad plays. not sure why they kept him in
really hope da spurs win tonight

also, did everyone forgot how LeBron took over 30 minutes to make his big announcement on espn or how the Miami Heat celebrated in their arena before they ever played a game? these goobers were promising not 3, not 4 but 6, 7, 22 championships!! whoooooooo

holy fuck, i haven't seen such terrible ball handling in the finals all my life.

and did y'all notice how happy Poppovich was for them? dude was smilin as he group hugged Spoelstra and a few other coaches. he was handin out wet kisses to Wade and Lebron. such fuckin bullshit.
(another complaint: why did the Spurs just let the Heat shoot wide open three's all night? they barely defended them behind the stripe. for such a well disciplined team, i don't understand how they collapsed defensively and had such horrendous ball-handling.)

Amazing finals. Loved every second of it. cant wait for the next season. Kawhi green and neal are gonna become so much better, they totally grew up. green going toe to toe in fastbreak situations and winning. The next 3 in the making. parker, duncan and ginobli mustve been so tired from game 6. Shit happens, oh well, they still tha best.
Also, I think some of you guys misunderstand what im saying, i like the heat as a team but i just think lebron gets credit for lots of things he doesnt do. People make the heat all about lebron and i think thats shit. The heat could probably still make the finals without lebron but i dont think the reverse is true. Thats spoelstras defensive scheme out there, thats spoelstras version of small ball out there. Defense won that game so please give credit where its due. Its what kept the series from being a 4-1 spurs blowout victory, not lebron getting triple doubles.

wade isn't the same player he used to be. he can't even carry the heat when lebron goes to the bench. he can't even stay healthy.
bosh is a soft. S-O-F-T. wade and bosh alone will not get past the celtics of last year or the pacers this year.
lebron has the highest +/- in the league. the heat are not a good team when lebron goes to the bench.
the heat without lebron are a 45-50 win team 2nd round team.
the reason the heat work is because of lebrons versatility to score, rebound, pass, and defend.

Right. The Miami Heat get to the finals without lebron James, arguably the only person in the league who can gaurd positions 1-5. And it was defense that wins the game correct? Humph. I see your point as valid, clearly my eyes decieve me and maybe I should get that LASIK surgery I've always wanted.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH THAT.
A gipper size rant coming at y'all tomorrow about the legacy of lebron and something for the haters to think about, the casual fans specifically.
The spurs didn't have enough that's all it came down too. Ginobli had a bad ginobli game, Parker was a shell of himself, Timmy did everything he could barring having a heart attack on the court from giving every ounce of himself to the game, Tiago Neal and Danny "I CAN'T DRIBBLE A BALL" Green disappeared. The offense looked stagnant and sloppy. Definsively they were giving up too much space to shooters, namely bron, even my girlfriend could plainly see that playing off lebron 8 feet was not working, and just getting plain out hustled. In a game 7 none of the previous 6 matters. It's win or go home. Put up or shut up. Miami did just that. Now I have to give credit where credit is due. Personally I thought kawhi was the best rookie of last season and he is clearly the most improved player. Hes going to be a guy I'm going to love to watch for years to come.
Final note: with 28 seconds left and only up by two in winning time, to create the distance by 2 possessions, lebron makes a 19 footer. That was when the game was over. That was the definition of clutch.

I was gonna be pissed off if either of those teams won. I dislike both teams to an unhealthy extent. I do like that guy Leonard on the spurs though.

Easy to say for a Clippers fan. Never tasted any joy in your franchise's entire history and so you have become emotionally numb. You are some kind of abstraction. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though they you can hide your cold gaze, and I can can shake your hand and feel flesh gripping mine, and maybe I can even sense your lifestyle is comparable to mine, you are simply not there.

I legitimately feel bad for Timmy. Missing on a crucial shot. A signature shot that he has made a thousands of times in practices and games. Wow. Danny Green post-game was pretty depressing, also. Would have loved to see them win so my Dad would be happy.

very good series, everything you could want from both teams, could have gone either way.

Awesome series, one of the best in many years. Lebron played a good game. this one stings a little more cause theres not the "theres always next year" mentality, SA's old and the west is strong and only going to get stronger, took them 6 years to get back to the big show, hoping it doesn't take another 6....

Alot of people say Spurs are too old , yet their favorit teams didnt make it to game 7 in the finals . As close as some of the finals games were I wouldnt say age had much stock in it , Spurs were so close
So when is this trade draft thingy coming up ? Spurs should have some money free , I wonder whats gonna go down or if they kinda wanna keep the same team going , its such a tight good team now . best team and heart in the NBA

Clippers to get Doc Rivers pending league-approval sometime this week. His son Austin Rivers (currently playing for the
hornets Pelicans) tweeted "Let the West coast battles begin dad!" if yall were looking for some kind of confirmation.
Report: Clippers land Rivers as coach
Posted Jun 23, 2013 9:06 PM - Updated Jun 23, 2013 11:01 PM
BOSTON (AP) -- Doc Rivers will be the next coach of the Los Angeles Clippers if the NBA approves the rare but not unprecedented trade of an active coach, a Boston Celtics official told The Associated Press on Sunday night.
The deal would bring Boston a first-round draft pick in 2015, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it is pending a trade call with the NBA office. Rivers, who had three years and $21 million left on his contract with the Celtics, must also reach an agreement on a new deal with the Clippers.
Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said the team had no announcement.
The tentative agreement on Sunday wraps up weeks of haggling over the deal and frees Rivers from presiding over the dismantling of the team that won the franchise's record 17th NBA title in 2008.
The Celtics and Clippers have also discussed sending Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles in a package with Rivers for draft choices, center DeAndre Jordan and point guard Eric Bledsoe. But NBA commissioner David Stern nixed those talks this week, saying teams aren't allowed to trade active players for a coach.
A deal for Garnett could still happen, but the teams would have to convince the league that it was a separate deal. The 37-year-old big man has a no-trade clause in the contract that will pay him 23.5 million over the next two years, but it is believed he would waive it to be reunited with Rivers on the West Coast. He has also discussed retiring.
Boston could also cut ties with Paul Pierce, the longest-tenured member of the team, who is due to earn $15.3 million next season; he could be bought out for $5 million. Pierce will be 36 by the 2013-14 opener and showed signs of slowing down this season, when he averaged the fewest minutes per game in his career.
Rivers took over the Celtics in 2004 in the midst of the longest title drought in franchise history and - with thanks to the "Big Three" of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen - guided them to the 2008 NBA title. They returned to the NBA Finals two years later, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games.
But the Celtics have regressed steadily since then, twice failing to get past the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference playoffs. This year they finished third in the Atlantic Division - they had won it five straight times - and lost to the New York Knicks in the first round.
That convinced many that it was time to rebuild - a process Rivers was reluctant to supervise. If the Celtics unload Garnett and Pierce, that would leave them with point guard Rajon Rondo as their only established star.
Rivers had the second-longest tenure of any NBA coach to San Antonio's Gregg Popovich, compiling a 416-305 record in Boston that was the third-most wins in franchise history behind Red Auerbach (795) and Tommy Heinsohn (427). He also spent four-plus seasons with the Orlando Magic and is 587-473 in all.
Trades for coaches have occurred about a half-dozen times in NBA history, most recently in 2007 when the Heat received compensation for allowing Stan Van Gundy to go to the Orlando Magic.
In 1983, the Chicago Bulls sent a second-round draft pick to Atlanta as compensation for coach Kevin Loughery. The Hawks used that pick to take Glenn "Doc" Rivers.
-
So when is this trade draft thingy coming up ? Spurs should have some money free , I wonder whats gonna go down or if they kinda wanna keep the same team going , its such a tight good team now . best team and heart in the NBA
So European.
-
They've been talking about sending Rivers to LA for weeks, originally packaged with KG and a wink-wink Paul Pierce buyout deal. It can't happen because they aren't allowed to trade a coach with a player in a single deal. The league will probably block any attempt to trade KG after the fact because they'll see it as connected. They'll get Doc, and as a Celtics fan, I'm stoked for him. He did a lot for the C's and I hope he does well out in LA.
Hopefully we can rebuild and have some sort of a team going by 2015.

as a life long spurs fan, this was probably pretty much it on their legendary run. ginobili is done, even if he doesn't retire, the dude is straight washed-up. they'll be good next year, shit they might make another run. they'll be contenders until duncan retires, and definitely in the mix if they retain pop, parker, and leonard.
spurs alwasy draft well, but their picks, unlike leonard, are usually investments. parker took a minute to shine, and playrs like de colo and tiago have a lot of learning left. also, i'm pretty dummed on tiago right now.
-
This draft is pretty weak though...
More so waiting for the off season trades to start. Ready for The Dwight episode to end. A part of me wants him to play here (the rockets) and the other doesn't. Maybe he can thrive under McHale. Maybe he can't. Fuck man if we could get the 08-10 Dwight. I sort of hope they pick up josh smith and maybe another piece in 2014. Id rather them let Thomas Robison play more minutes instead of piecing him off which ultimately is going to happen. I check the clutchfans forum religiously. It's funny how many dudes on there think the cp3/Dwight show is coming here.
-
I sincerely doubt that CP3 and Dwight will be playing together next year, but the idea does provide desperate fans with something to pontificate over until next year.
It kinda looks like this will be a pretty boring off-season. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Western conference looks like next season though with the Lakers and Mavs still rebuilding.
-
Do I think it's going to happen? No, but doesn't mean it can't. Morey is going to unload Lin and Trobs contracts to free up cap space. And I think Houston is far from a desperate franchise. In this case that's Atlanta. Having harden provides us with a ton of leeway.
-
how exactly will he 'unload' Lin?
-
Sign and trade that's how. And letting Aaron brooks and Francisco Garcia walk.
-
sign and trade with who and for what?
-
They were trying to package Thomas Robison and Lin for Dwight, but la isn't going to take that. Use google I don't feel like copy and pasting from an iPhone. Either way I don't think Lin will play here next season.
-
Lin is a terrible contract you're acting like a lakers fan thinking you can just sign and trade that away for nothing.
-
A lakers fan that makes a ton of sense you're such a basketball genius.
There's terrible contracts all over the league, obviously Lin being one. You think they gave him all that money for his basketball playing? He brings a Chinese demographic a la Yao Ming. And I'm not thinking shit I'm not the GM of the rockets. These are hear'say trade rumors

Houston is full of Vietnamese, not Chinese.
-
And? There's still a big Chinese fan base here, but I'm saying he's huge in general. Walking marketing machine.
Guys like Cory maggette, Ben Gordon, joe Johnson, and Emeka okafor who arguably had contracts just as bad were moved, but Lin is impossible? Yeah ok

Just saying, you called the demographic in Houston Chinese, when they are predominantly Vietnamese. How credible can you be when you can't get that fact correct?
-
He brings a Chinese demographic a la Yao Ming.
You sure bud?
-
The Lin contract isn't as bad as it seems. He's more than worth the 5 million this year for marketing alone and doesn't have to play a minute however he could probably thrive in a system like d'antonis. The hard part is the 14-15 season when you have to pay him 15 but its an expiring contract which every team seems to look for at the trade deadline to make the numbers work.
If worst come to worst deal him Brooklyn. Prokorov is spending money like he wants to be the Russian Dr. Buss.
-
That's the third year option which basically killed the Knicks from matching. He has value none the less. What Morey does with him who knows. Detroit could also be a factor, be it Rodney Stuckey or draft picks. Maybe even both. They could use the lin marketing desperately.

Lin's marketing value is overrated. His jersey sales have dropped every month since he has joined Houston. Yao Ming was actually a great player, probably would have been one of the all time greats if it wasn't for injuries. Chinese people didn't go crazy for Yi Jianlian (who has the advantage of actually being Chinese, unlike Lin). You aren't just going to 'unload' Lin, you are going to get some trash back in return. That is all I'm saying.

Seriously. He had a lil buzz after all the New York shit but dude is not the asian superstar alot of people try to make him out to be. yeah he has some marketability, but James Harden's beard probably sells more merchandise than Lin does.
-
I see more Lin jerseys around here than Harden. Most likely because they're cheaper, but still. And I only compared Yao's demograph of fans not skill.
Yi's case is totally different from Lin. Lin had this underdog story which made for easy marketing. They had a Jeremy Lin inspired ice cream flavor ffs.
This all comes from a trade I heard. Doesn't mean it can or can't happen. That's all I'm saying.
-
Yes, and having more skill makes you more marketable. If Lin was still putting up Linsanity numbers he would be more marketable than he is currently. It would also help him if he was Chinese, which he isn't. I don't care how many Lin jerseys you see, his popular appeal is declining.

-
haha holy shit because I put IS it's totally going to happen. gotcha. Lets try 'WANTS'.
He's still Chinese American which means he's going to have some of that market no matter if he was born there or not jesus christ. I'm not going to read some bull shit link about his decline, that goes without saying since he left NY. But to say he isn't at all is asinine.
-
that's what 'is' denotes.
he may be ethnically Chinese, but his parents are Taiwanese immigrants. It's an important distinction.
And yes, lets go by how many Lin jerseys you see rather than an empirical study conducted by a sports marketing company.
-
What do his parents have to do with his overall marketability? And the jersey statement was an observation. Didn't base any argument on that. You're trying to condescend. The fact they wrote an article on the decline of his marketability I mean..
I still think he will be traded irregardless.
-
I think Lin's value is mainly as a player now. His numbers for last season weren't actually that bad and he obviously has some room for improvement. There's no way he's going to recapture "Lin-sanity" levels of popularity unless he starts playing at that level again (very unlikely) and I think his appeal is pretty limited aside from the race angle. To be clear though, the Rockets didn't sign him to satisfy Chinese Americans in Houston, it was to appeal to actual Chinese people who live in China. Despite Houston's history with Yao I don't think he's going to continue to be worth his contract just on marketing value alone unless its on a highly visible, big-market team with lots of games on TV in Asia.
Do I think it's going to happen? No, but doesn't mean it can't. Morey is going to unload Lin and Trobs contracts to free up cap space. And I think Houston is far from a desperate franchise. In this case that's Atlanta. Having harden provides us with a ton of leeway.
Didn't mean to antagonize you, and yeah, I was speaking more about Atlanta when I said 'desperate'. I would actually like to see harden and Dwight play together.

Either way, I'm sure Morey has something out of left field he is trying to pull this offseason with all these rumors flying around
-
I think Lin's value is mainly as a player now. His numbers for last season weren't actually that bad and he obviously has some room for improvement. There's no way he's going to recapture "Lin-sanity" levels of popularity unless he starts playing at that level again (very unlikely) and I think his appeal is pretty limited aside from the race angle. To be clear though, the Rockets didn't sign him to satisfy Chinese Americans in Houston, it was to appeal to actual Chinese people who live in China. Despite Houston's history with Yao I don't think he's going to continue to be worth his contract just on marketing value alone unless its on a highly visible, big-market team with lots of games on TV in Asia.
Expand Quote
Do I think it's going to happen? No, but doesn't mean it can't. Morey is going to unload Lin and Trobs contracts to free up cap space. And I think Houston is far from a desperate franchise. In this case that's Atlanta. Having harden provides us with a ton of leeway.

Ha no hard feelings sports is always debatable. I'm not a fan of the guy or anything, but can't deny the marketing approach.
That was kind of my whole point all along. I'm sure Morey wanted to recapture the over seas fan base that Yao helped establish. I wouldn't be shocked if they're watching more rockets games over there than actual houstonians on account of the black outs a good portion of the city is dealing with. Needless to say he's movable especially to teams like Detroit who have cap.
-
Not to step on toes here, but dude is not Chinese-American. He was born in America. He is American. His parents are nationals, but he doesn't hold citizenship anywhere else but the U.S.
And I can safely say I've never seen a Lin jersey since he left New York.
Edit - Actually none of that is relevant and is just continuing to the watering-down of this thread. Just ignore that bullshit I wrote above.

china was jokingly(butnotreallyjoking) trying to get him to drop his american citizeship to join the chinese national team and even the president of china is a fan of the nba. Basketball is getting huge in china and asian players are definitely gonna be more marketable as time goes on even if the skills arent completely there.
I hope dwight goes to huston, parsons/howard/harden sounds like a trio worth rooting for.
Clippers with doc rivers is gonna be an interesting team to watch next season. They might be the best team in staples.
Im still bummed the spurs lost. So close. I still think defense won that series more than lebron (88-90 before the free throws even with lebrons 37 vs. Spurs with a much lower shooting average than usual/not shooting well off the perimeter? cmon lets get real) but whatever. i was really looking forward to danny green being the finals mvp.
Next year's gonna be sick. Any of you guys in a rec league or anything?

yeah even as a lakers fan it would make sense for Howard to go to houston. the offense fits him perfect & he has another young star beside him with harden. Mchale could definitely help his post game too. that being said he'd also be pretty lame for him to keep on with this Dwightmare drama. just pick a team & stay there! He wanted the "spotlight" in LA which he got in full effect but once that criticism comes along all of the sudden he aint about that life. I'd like to see him grow as a Laker & really start to live up to his potential there but shit man, make up your mind!
Clippers are no doubt the best team in LA as of right now. we'll have to see what roster moves the lakers pull off in the offseason, but Doc Rivers is probably my favorite coach & Ive always liked the clips roster so until the old-man Lakers can get some new blood the Clips definitely have them beat on paper.
-
Why has the NBA let the Celtics move Rivers to LA when it's in violation of the CBA? Almost as dumb as blocking CP3 to the Lakers awhile back, what was the purpose? To prevent a super team? The Heat just came back for seconds...
Regardless Boston is in rebuild mode and Paul Pierce is probably the only guy nailed down to the franchise
-
just so you know , calling out spurs winning it right here

-

It's not a violation. It would be if he was packaged with a player trade as part of the deal. Coaches can be traded for picks and cash. It's totally allowed.
Regardless Boston is in rebuild mode and Paul Pierce is probably the only guy nailed down to the franchise
He isn't nailed to it at all. In fact he's gone on record by saying if the Celtics are rebuilding, he wants out. It's been pretty well known that the C's are looking to trade him for rights to a first round pick.

Garnett was the one with the no trade clause and he seemed receptive to that Clippers trade when it was being floated a week or two ago. Pierce is making like $15.4 million next year and his production is declining quickly, so it seems most likely that the Celtics will just try and get rid of as many of their big contracts as possible then stock up on some youth in preparation for next year's free agency period.
The Lakers are in a sort of similar situation but a bit worse because they seem to be wedded to their current roster for at least another year. I don't know exactly what they're going to look like next year but I doubt they'll be any good. If the Rockets do end up getting Dwight I could see them getting the 4 or 5 seed next year; probably would be a pretty fun team to watch too.

Despite Garnett & Pierce's age I think their starting 5 is so sick. Let JJ & PP stretch the floor with williams dishing the ball between them & Garnet + Lopez down low. This team is definitely lacking depth, & who knows how long Garnet & Pierce will last, but if JASON KIDD can get them all to play cohesively they should at least be pretty fun to watch during the regular season. They definitely need some more bench players tho or else they're gonna run down the 2 celtics during the grind of the regular season & be left stranded with benchwarmers outside of their big 3 w/ Johnson, Williams, & Lopez.

Yeah brooklyn definitely feels like a "hipster" team to me, but i dunno maybe thats why I kinda like em. Prokorhov just be buying players n shit lol. Depth, defense, & possibly coaching is gonna be their main concerns but like i said theyll definitely be interesting to watch throughout the season. They drafted a skilled athletic center in Mason Plumlee @ 7'1 too so hopefully he & Blatche can allow Garnett not to play heavy minutes. They definitely got potential ON PAPER. Plus they actually cut back on salary by unloading all those contracts, so it should be interesting to see how they do this year with Jason Kidd on the sidelines calling plays for Deron Williams & Kevin Garnet.

It appears Andrea Bargnani's days with the Toronto Raptors are over.
According to Howard Beck of the New York Times, the Raptors have come to terms on a trade that would send Bargnani to the New York Knicks in exchange for Marcus Camby, Steve Novak, a first round pick in 2016 and a future second round pick. The deal is reportedly done and awaiting league approval.
Bargnani has averaged 15.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game during his seven NBA seasons. His current contract will pay him $22.25 million over the next two years.
THANK FUCKING GOD, GREAT TRADE TORONTO! ;D

Reports of Josh Smith and Dwight teaming up in Houston. Idk how that would would in terms of court geometry but wow
-
I think the rockets and smith met today. I'm kind of 50/50 on him playing here. He's a defensive stud, but offensively he can make some boneheaded plays. Pair that up with Dwight (not to mention how bad both of them are at free throws) that could be mayhem.
The departure of joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford from ATL may be the reason Smith takes such idiotic shots. Possibly feeling he's the only scoring option, which lets face it he is.

Being a New England native, I wish the best for the Celtics in their restructuring efforts. It should be interesting to see the fate of Rondo during this shake-up; it wouldn't surprise me if the brass deals him out or he requests to be traded somewhere else. But then again, they may try to build around him if he's willing to dash his hopes of a ring over the next several seasons.

It seems like they should have gotten more just for Bledsoe since he could probably be a future starter on any team that doesn't feature Chris Paul. What other decent trading chips do they have aside from him?
-
Bledsoe was the best trade chip they had to offer. The next best thing they have to offer is deandre jordan and his terrible contract.
-
Caron I think was expendable on account of his health issues, but agreed on Bledsoe. Maybe bye bye billups? What about Kevin Martin getting 30mil lol
-
Caron was/is a c+/b- talent and the clippers over payed. As you mentioned major health concerns over the issue. Everything adds up to dumping Caron from a basketball and business standpoint. Bledsoe on the other hand is an issue for me all though as I type this I'm starting to warm up to this new clipper roster. They need a legit 2 gaurd, but what team in this league doesn't, who can play off the ball and with only a handful shooting specialists reddick was a good find. However, when you have a talent that has that has the potential to be a blue chipper you shouldn't deal for anything less. Then again I'm a dishwasher and not a league GM.
Kmart deal is god awful. Words can of describe how foolish Minnesota is. Has Kahn written all over it and he doesn't even work for the minny professional basketball team anymore. Worst deal of the summer guaranteed.
Iggy passing on 14 mil is crazy.
-
Clippers are the real winners in that trade. Bledsoe hasn't really proven anything yet and what the Clips desperately need is perimeter shooting to spread the floor around Paul and Griffin/DJ (if he doesn't get traded).
-
i thought it was a good trade. Id assume moving butler cleared some cap space & Reddick should be an excellent backup/6th man for paul. Dudely is solid too & will be great if they can get another SF to start while bringing him off the bench. Im sure Doc knows what he's doing. glad the suns got butler & bledsoe tho. they're gonna be my new hometown team so I'm glad they went from pure trash to slightly less trash.
-
I believe reddick will be starting 2guard.
-
I believe reddick will be starting 2guard.
yeah you right i forget their lineups. they need to get a couple lockdown perimeter defenders like tony allen or something to bring off the bench & to mix with other lineups. I wonder what're the chances they resign Odom and/or billups? they could use the cap space for a couple more young guys.
-
Im anxious for Dwight's decision.
-
Im anxious for Dwight's decision.
Me too. Between Houston, Dallas, & LA he could really end up anywhere. I have a feeling it might be Dallas just because Dwight's agent & Mark Cuban are close friends, and they might be tryna sell Dwight on signing with the Mavs & then snagging up Rondo somehow. Houston definitely does seem like a hand in glove fit tho given their system & coaching staff, so i couldnt blame him for wanting to go there either. However, I think if Dwight wants to prove to everyone he's "grown up" he'll stay with the Lakers...even if its just for that extra $30 million.
-
im eagerly waiting dwights decision too.
also a little bummed belinelli is going to the spurs. i liked him on the bulls even though he'd probably have less minutes going into next season
-
I think Houston is the best situation in the short term and long term (depending on what the Lakers would have done next year during free agency) but I truly think a man that cares that much about his image would want to be seen as a guy who changed teams 3 times in over a year. I still believe Houston is the most ideal landing spot in terms of purely basketball reasons.

LA might as well trade gasol for some draft picks, have kobe take most of season off (you know hes gonna try to play asap) and tank this year so they can get a decently high draft pick & rebuild from there. they only have nash locked in for the 14-15 season so they can prolly resign Kobe for a lower pricetag & pick up some big-name free agents with all that salary cap space.
I aint mad at howard for going to houston. it seems like the best fit for him, but even still now that hes FINALLY picked his long-term team, he better play his heart out to make up for all the bullshit hes been on the past few years

what do you think the odd are that lebron leaves the heat? assuming Bosh & Wade more or less play at the same pace they did this last season. you think he'd consider jumping ship again?
-
I think it's highly possible lebron leaves Miami. Its well known pat riley has sold his condo in miami and has a house in malibu awaiting his retirement. in the 14-15 season miami wont be able to afford the big 3 if they all decide opt in. d wade is getting older and is breaking down at a pretty consistant rate; also wade is consumed by the idea of parenthood I don't know how interested in basketball he really is anymore especially after winning three titles, maybe he feels his r?sum? is complete. The erosion of d wade is detrimental to miamis small ball scheme which is dependent on athleticism and outside shooting. Keeping all three, over time, ruins the system. Bosh has always been the X factor, being the fantasy gm that I am I dump wade and try to keep the bosh lebron tandem and put bosh at his natural position and build around that tandem. But if you're Miami do you try and make wade a lifer, a rarity in this day and age. These are the basketball reasons why I am leaning toward his departure.
His personal motivations are what confuse me. He's openly stated he wants to become a billionaire athlete. Los Angeles makes this a possibility. If not being in LA are we to believe that CP3 and Blake Griffin would be plastered all over American televison? However, I think that lebron feels some empathy over the dog an pony show that was "the decision" and wants to give back to the community that raised him and that is if and only if he and Dan Gilbert can break bread and squash beef. I think this a slim chance. If you read the comic sans fonted letter than you could see that Gilbert doesn't seem like the kind of guy who can let bygones be bygones. He seems to have a vandetta and that is drag lebrons name in the mud for the entirety of his career. All things considered signs point to sunny Southern California.
-
yeah that makes sense. It'd definitely be interesting to see. Like you said I figure miami keeps wade for the rest of his career (but i guess I thought Boston woulda kept Paul Pierce too) and possibly trade bosh (if they felt the team was on the decline) just because he's the ugly duckling of the bunch but shit I guess you never know. it would just seem kinda strange for him to bring so much to miami for 3-4 years throughout all the controversy, only to move on somewhere else as soon as that contracts up. Stranger things have happened tho. Seeing Kobe & Lebron on the same team would be nuts. that is, if kobe is still playing by then.

I thought Kobe could go on for a few more seasons the way he was playing this year before his achilles went. Wade, though less old decrepit, looked like he was on a one way downward slope. You can see that his body just isn't working as well anymore, and I think both he and Lebron know that the 7 championships they claimed are probably not gonna happen. If the Heat 'three-peat' (? Pat O'reilly) and Lebron jumps ship to another superteam in the summer,he could be well on his way to 6 rings.
-
lebron would also be on his way to securing his legacy as the biggest ring chasing piece of shit ever as well. im doubtful he would head west though, that would be sacrificing his biggest advantage (playing in the piss weak east)
-
Lebron leaving the heat is such a pipedream. I think miami would do everything they could to keep lebron and buy enough people to keep them competitive even if bosh continues to degrade and wade loses his knees. Therell be all sorts of hoopla over his free agency but he'll end up signing a 3 year agreement with the heat with an opt out clause if things go south. Theyre a really strong team in a weak conference, i think he likes automatically going to the conference finals every year which is something no other team can kindof semi-guarantee, plus hes ultra comfortable with everybody on the heat now.
Theres nothing dan gilbert or chris grant can do to bring lebron over. Cavs dont have a system in place, mike brown isnt better than spoelstra and the cavs dont have a deep roster or the money to make it worth it. Hes only making shout outs to ohio so people might hate him less. Its not working.
Lakers dont have a system in place anymore, im sure lebron would want to play with kobe but i doubt the reverse is true, they dont have a young team anymore and who really wants to spend a whole season, probably two, trying to figure out team chemistry and building with new players? I doubt lebron wants to do that. and even if they do the west is just so much stronger that theres no real guarantee that theyll even make it through the playoffs.
Anyways, go rockets, they were an awesome choice, thats gonna be a fun team to watch. Also, whoever said they should just drop the conference bullshit and make it a 16 team mixed bracket was spot on.
-
Lebron will not leave the heat. It's too much money invested in his branding in south beach. I'm a lakers fan and as much as I hate that d12 left it was good this was handled now instead of the middle of the season. The teams to watch in the west are the warriors rockets and clippers. Predictions warriors and clippers western conference finals. Houston will get to the semi finals and lose in 6 games

lebron would also be on his way to securing his legacy as the biggest ring chasing piece of shit ever as well. im doubtful he would head west though, that would be sacrificing his biggest advantage (playing in the piss weak east)
In reality we all chasing a ring doe: wedding ring, cock ring, nuva ring, graduation ring, bearing.
See: Wilt Chamberlain
true, i ain't gonna announce my switch to bones swiss on national tv and bum out everyone in my hometown though
We you do it to raise millions for the boys & girls club? I always thought the whole decision thing was pretty lame however with all that money donated to charity I feel it's definitely done more good than bad. Lebron made himself look like a dick on national tv for the benefit of many lol
it's funny that you're just the type of sucker that 'it was for charity!' scheme was supposed to fool.
the show itself wasn't specifically for charity but it did raise like $2-3 Million for the Boys & Girls Club (where it was filmed). I aint even some super huge Lebron fan but you've definitely shown yourself to be a thirsty hater. its just as bad as being a fanboy really. Like I said, that shit was pretty lame & he definitely kooked himself with all that but at the end of the day it did more good than bad. in my opinion anyway. I take the lives affected by the boys & girls club more seriously than some athletes public reputation.

Cavs pick up andrew bynum ona 2 year deal with a team option in the 2nd. I think its a good gamble for them. Bynum obviously needs to mature and those knees are very questionable but for someone who averages 20 points & 11 rebounds, i think its worth the risk. the cavs been coming up low-key. Considering how much they lost with Lebron they've done a pretty good job recovering from all that
-
Kyrie Irving is gonna be the best point guard in the NBA soon, so Bynum coming back strong next year would be helpful for that team. I think you're pretty much settling for diminishing returns with him though in this stage of his career with what we know about his knees and attitude about being a professional basketball player.
-
Seems like a win win. There was a good article about this saying that even if bynum tanks and his knees are still too shitty to play well theyll get a good draft pick next year, they didnt have to give up any players, and they only spent 6 million and wont have to pay the full 24 or even the 12 million for this season and they can drop him quickly. Cavs did a good job, hopefully all their cumulative experiences add up to something. they definitely have a shot at the 7th or 8th seed.

so hyped on the warriors picking up Igoudala and still having most of their guys. i knew biedrins and jefferson were going to be useful for something. ;D? :-* 8)
Seriously. So glad we got rid of Biedrins finally. I hope Igoudala shakes up shit for the Warriors. Already looking forward to next season.

It's kind of a win-win for Cleveland. They really have nothing to lose. He's only 25, barring his knees don't Oden on him. there's a clause in the contract that if he doesn't preform, Gilbert only has to pay 6 mill of the agreed deal (EDIT: heard this on the radio....I guess the 6 mill is guaranteed and the rest is performance incentives). Not exactly sure of that's the correct number though.

PG- Westbrook
SG- Ryan Anderson
SF- King James
PF- Lamarcus Aldridge
C- Duncan
Westbrook was a iron man playing over 300 straight games prior to last year's playoffs. I expect a fierce season from Russ
RA best shooter in the league, period.. And now AD in his sophomore year will space the floor even better than last season.. no brainer
Lebron IS the Miami heat, he will dominate on all ends of the floor, and lead Miami to a 3rd str8 title
LA was a tough choice, but him and Lillard hooking up for a 2nd season will be a lot of fun to watch, very consistent 25 10 guy
Duncan is older now, slower, but still a goddamn beast under the hoop. He will guard the rim and score gimmies all year, SA is that good that a 40 year old man can dominate you..
-
I like your ballot for first team all NBA next year but let me help you a bit. Russel Westbrook just had knee surgery, okc would be smart to d rose him.
Ryan Anderson is a forward. Stretch 4 actually.
Barring injury lebron is the best player in the game.
I would put Timmy at power foward since its his natural position, not to take away from LA, but the league is pretty deep at 4.
If Dwight remains to be a shell of himself I got Pekovic at best 5.
-
Antwuan Jamison to the clippers if anyones still following free agency moves. man this upcoming season is about to be GREAT. so many storylines to watch all around the league.
also bentmode I think Westbrook will be good to go. A meniscus tear isn't nearly as serious as an ACL injury so he should be back to his regular self a few weeks into the season, if not opening night. i've had partial tears in both of my meniscuses and skated on them before they fully recovered weeks afterwards. Not exactly the same thing, but its definitely not too bad of an injury. hell bounce back just fine.
I think Dwights gonna come back with a vengence too. I was never a fan of his childish ass indecisiveness, but hell be looking to prove himself in houston and he has a better fitting supporting cast around him. he should be as good as if not better than he was during his best days in orlando

I have no idea how fantasy sports work, just assumed you take 1 of every position and deal with trades as the season progresses. The King can play all positions, guard Centers so he has no position really.
Big fan of Pekovic, fantasy sleeper that`s for sure. Who else will get it done for Minny.. I should have taken Detroit`s Josh Smith at PF, the guy is a stats filling machine, and he never gets the credit

I'm pretty big on josh smith, but he's a sf trapped in a pf's body. He's always taken horrid long range jumpshots and 3s. He certainly has gotten better about taking less of those shots. Guy definetly puts up great numbers though.

Why was Spo, a very good defensive coach, matching Chris Bosh and Birdman up against the opposing teams C instead of Bron? Lebron is a very versatile defender but he frankly cannot guard Centres. He may do well for 1-2 posssesions by fronting the post but he cannot guard centres for more than that. he is still a very versatile defender and a great help defender there is not a single year he has deserved DPOY and I seriously doubt there ever will be, his man defense leaves so much to be desired. stop watchign ESPN and start watching some actual basketball games.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/nba-superfan-jimmy-goldstein-own-ideas-stop-flopping-175814547--nba.html (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/nba-superfan-jimmy-goldstein-own-ideas-stop-flopping-175814547--nba.html)
Last season, the NBA tried to discourage flopping by fining players. As Commissioner David Stern acknowledged, it didn't work. Therefore, I would propose another approach to stop the flop. The rule should be changed so any time that a defensive player falls flat on his back immediately upon contact from an offensive player, the officials will not call any foul.
This rule will eliminate any motivation for the defensive player to deliberately fall down when contact is made.
Those opposed to my proposal will suggest that this is not fair to the defensive player who can't stop himself from falling on his back after being run over by (say) LeBron James.
My answer is that the defensive player will make every effort to keep his balance so that a foul will be called. And if he staggers before falling, the official will be allowed to call the foul. The offensive player will be afraid to run over the defensive player because the offensive player will be called for a foul so long as the defensive player holds his balance for a split second before falling (or doesn't fall flat on his back).

Not a bad idea. I'd like to see how it works in game action.
On another note,
when are we starting a new thread for the 2013-14 season? Preseason starts in a month.
-
Don't see it happening. I think it's just their first instinct to try to draw the foul. Or like an offensive player shooting a 3 then trying to draw contact. Same as NFL I suppose with concussions they're inevitable.

Lebron is first team nba all defense, his entire career. He protects the rim with the best of em. If you are too thick to understand he's the best player in the game on both sides we can't have a real conversation about the NBA. Noah? He's a beast but mostly a rebounder and shit disturber.. Noah doesn't guard the rim like lebron, can't play 48 minutes like lebron, he's slower than lebron, and he can't jump like lebron. If fouling out wasn't an issue Lebron would be be the undisputed best defender of all time, he's #2 on the DPOY yet he's still so valuable on offense, it's like he gives a half effort on D and this is what you get

Lebron isnt a specialist, hes not known as a defensive specialist therefore doesnt get the credit. It is a crime that Lebron didnt win DPOTY. I would rather go up against Gasol vs Lebron Im sure you would too, think of it in human terms
-
I prefer to think of things in basketball terms.
-
I'm not a fan of Lebron's game simply for the fact it's just not good looking to watch, he can get the job done and I'm not gonna pretend he can't score but it lacks aesthetics
-
Chasing down somebody on a fast break does not count as protecting the rim. Sure lebron makes everyone look foolish in the restricted area every so often but it's not something you can count on. Real rim protectors can anchor a defense for at least 30 minutes a game. Lebron is more of a wing defender. He can gaurd hybrid forwards and that's about max. International ball is another subject.

Kyrie might have a really good year this time around. Some people were saying that because the cavs were trying to tank they would extend kyries injury times beyond what they were suppose to be so there's the off chance he's not as fragile as he's made out to be.
In which case how much money do you think the lakers might throw at him once his contract is up? Meta was singing his praises and I've seen some YouTube clips of Kyrie and Kobe together. Lakers are gonna be very desperate this year. For once in their lives they're the underdogs.
-
Depends on Kobe's contract renewal. Someone will throw max money at him.

Yes... But I'm sure he's gonna get some ridiculous offers
If John wall gets 80mill, then he's certainly due a huge payday.

yeah but as if the cavs wont match anything offered to him...they aren't letting another superstar go

Yeah.. kind of goes without saying. I doubt there is a franchise that wouldn't match any offer sheet. Pure hustle and heart.
-
They probably will match whatever offers he gets but if the cavs don't make playoffs or Bynum, waiters and Tristan (and I guess Bennett) don't really live up to expectations i dont think its such a clear cut decision anymore. He would be the first player to reject a max offer off a rookie contract true but if it looks like more years in hell what's really keeping decision 2.0 from happening?
Either everybody does a lot of growing up this season and surpass expectations or a couple cards sag and the whole pyramid falls.
Either way this season is going to be really fun to watch.

Yeah exactly, so if he doesn't sign the team option that would probably start the rumor mill in this offseason. It's a 20 million gap the but it's LA and its a big market team. If the cavs suck how does this not at least make some sense?
-
ok so you don't know what a team option is or what a restricted FA is, thanks for the contribution
-
Edit: alright I'm mixing this all up.
1.) they're going to use their team option and extend kyries contract
2.) Kyrie then either accepts the qualifying offer which extends his contract one more year and makes him a full on unrestricted FA the year after or he doesn't and he enters restricted FA the next year and finds some weird way of making the trade work because the lakers are loaded and hates tanking and wants to play with a competitive team.
3.) he leaves the cavs and finally joins the lakers.
4.) this is just a rumor and it doesn't actually happen because no ones ever rejected a team offer out of RFA but that doesn't make it any less fun to play devils advocate.
-
The cavs will extend his contract 4-5 more years. It's not a one and done thing.

Yeah in this day and age an ACL tear isn't a death sentence like it once was. The big thing through the first two preseason games is the fact that you can clearly see Derrick has his explosiveness/quickness back and like you were saying there isn't any hesitation.

The only thing on the line is ur pride.
Also to let the dudes who played previous years know this years format is slightly different: head to head each category; also considering switching to an auction draft instead of a snake.
-
How does an auction draft work? I've only been part of leagues that have had a snake draft.
-
Everyone gets a salary cap of $200 and takes turns picking players for people to bid on. The player with the highest bid takes the player and this continues until rosters are full. It's chess compared to checkers. You have to be tactical about how you spend your money. It takes a bit longer but you could also have you roster constructed quickly.

If no one else wants to join, and I reached out to a couple of people who posted in this thread about wanting to play, then we draft this weekend.
-
You can have the draft after the season has started?
Can you please infrom us as soon as possible about the time because it'll most likely be really awkward for me and i'll probably be quite drunk since my friends from my hometown are visiting me this weekend. If i know the draft time is really bad for me i can at least try and make my pre-draft lists and strategies as good as possible.

Can I get in on this fantasy league?

@L.s. yeah ill have it set for Sunday at 1pm Easetern

It's finally here.. My heart was racing since I woke up this morning.
Oladipo was welcomed like a boss, Nicholson was on fire in the 1st half, lotta fun to watch. After 1H switched to the Bulls game, and noticed how offensively regular they STILL are.. even with Rose back.. Boozer, Noah, Deng will never challenge Miami for a title. Miami played small and destroyed Chicago. It's comical that people think Chicago can compete for a championship.
Saw 2H of the Lakers game, and don't believe the smokescreen. LA's bench is terrible and this will not continue throughout the season. LAC are now the team to watch in Cali.
Huge slate of games tonight.. Can't wait to see Detroit, Milwaukee, and Dallas with their new aquisitions. My girl is going to kill me but League Pass is only FREE for so long. Get on it!

Woooo! so hyped basketball is back! went the home opener last night my Raps got the W vs the Celtics. I liked what I saw for the most part our sophmore Centre Jonas Valenchunas is looking very promising and gives us some actual rim protection (something we've been lacking for years) Rudy Gay did pretty much what he does scoring at will at times just abusing Jeff Green always good to start the season on winning note would love to see Toronto make some noise in the post season.

Nothing, but nothing, in the vast repertoire of sports cliches will ever make me laugh as hard as this one.
The best thing for the Cavs would just be to lock Kyrie Irving in the broom closet of their training facility for the next six months and pray for Wiggins. Maybe an all star point guard, a future superstar small forward and 3/4 of an Andrew Bynum will be enough to tempt Lebron back to Cleveland for his twilight years (doubt it though).
-
Man, ease up there, Cavs have a solid young roster. Kyrie speaks for himself, Bennett and Thompson both are exciting prospects if they continue to develop, along with Waiters (maybe) and they've got depth with Clark and Jack in there too. They're outta the lottery this season and I'd like to see the make a run this or next season.

I don't know about solid, Cleveland is a WEIRD team straight up. They look so discombobulated out there like there's no system. Cleveland has players but who is going to shoot the 3? San Antonio has the idyllic system where every starter can shoot the ball and though Cleveland has improved, I don't trust 4/5 starters with the ball in late game situations.
13 games tonight, league pass still free until the 5th!

i was watching the Lakers/Rockets game and the Lakers were on fire the first half (they had a 19 point lead at one point/made 11 threes). the Rockets were able to sneakily come back in the second half by going to the line over and over and over. they even took a 6 point lead toward the end of the 4th quarter. i seriously have never seen so many calls go to a team before. almost every drive Harden attempted, he'd get fouls called his way. most of the time the defenders were barely making any contact and he'd get the whistle. not only does Harden initiate the contact and get his way with the refs, he pulls that eurostep traveling bullshit and rarely gets called for it.
just look at the numbers:
LAL 11-15 FTs
HOU 33-52 FTs
no matter how much the refs helped the Rockets, the Lakers tried that hack-a-Dwight trick and it worked. D12 was bricking free-throw after free-throw toward the last few minutes. Jodie Meeks made a three and got the Lakers within two with under two minutes left. the Lakers were still down by 2, were inbounding the ball with 10 seconds left and had it deflected out of bounds. they inbounded again with 3.4 seconds left and then this happened
Steve Blake Sinks the Game-Winner in Houston (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDbgNF8cWQg#)
right in bitch-ass Dwight's face.
this win was priceless (especially since the refs tried so hard to give it to the Rockets and the Lakers were without Kobe). D'Antoni is a clown, but i like that the Lakers are playing more team-ball (6 players scored 10 points or more this game).

-
That was actually a really good game last night I wouldn't say the refs were trying to give the game to Houston some of the fouls commited by the Lakers were just straight up sloppy basketball. Both teams were pretty out of sorts not to mention Houston goes to the foul line more than any other.

Good source tells me #Bulls fear it's a torn right ACL for Derrick Rose. If so, unlikely he will ever be the same.
(take that with a grain of salt local sources in Chicago thought Rose's first knee injury was a sprain, and that LeBron was going to choose the Bulls in free agency)

yeah I had a feeling it was his meniscus. I had moderate tears in both my knees before so I'd imagine with proper rehab he should be back in a couple months, depending on how severe his is. Hate to see him go down again tho. Hopefully this pushes Chicago to make some kind of move for another go-to scorer which they desperately need right now. As big as a Bulls fan I am I know there's no way they can make it out of the east with just rose. They've got a good supporting cast but as a team their offense is just not up there with all the other title contenders. anyways, here's to hoping D-Rose gets back to MVP form by the end of the season

Official word from Bulls is that DRose is out "indefinitely" but vibe is they're indeed bracing for prospect he misses rest of '13-14 season

it might be superstitious but there is no way in hell i will ever buy Rose's shoe now. I hope he gets better fast, definitely one of my favorite players.

If he comes back and that's a huge if do you really think they would want to compete? This Chicago team is championship or bust. Sawing what you had last year it's clear that cannot contend with their leading scorer out. What's the point of trading for a Jamal Crawford when you have to deal with the pacers and heat in your conference. Time to start tanking.

I'm almost certain it's the lakers. They'll have enough cap space, melo & Kobe are great friends, and you know LaLa wants to live right there in that Hollywood scene. He'll probably tease all sorts of teams during free agency but ultimately I can't imagine him anywhere else
-
I think/hope the Lakers are gonna avoid big moves this offseason, sign some good role players like have done, maybe even get a lower lottery pick this draft and make a play for Love/Westbrook/Irving in the future when Kobe's got a year left on his extension. Melo's 30 so it would be a more expensive max than one of those younger guys and I'm not sold on him as a #1 option.
I think the darkhorse could be Dallas who've been gagging to land a big free agent since forever. Dirk will resign for cheap, Monta Ellis is on a good contract, they've got a good coach/ownership/management and they might even have room for another max guy after Melo. Although the wifey could be an issue if Odom is anything to go by....

Not sure if I agree with that seeing as how he was mostly looking to facilitate. He was dropping some really good dimes guys just weren't finishing
Dantoni fucked up by not bringing back Henry in the 4th. Dude had 17 points on 6/8 shooting in only 14 minutes, helped bring them back into the game and then for the majority of the 4th dantoni left fuckin Jodi Meeks in there to be abused by derozen and not score.

Man if I were him I'd be mad as fuck, they woulda had a much better chance to win with him in there
bummed 2k hasn't put him in the line up yet.....

kobe lookin a lil flabby.
looks like he needs to drop a few lbs.
not seeing much lift but hopefully that comes back when he gets in better shape.

Rudy Gay traded to Kings.
Gay was shooting 38.8% averaging 19 shots a game and made $18 million. The fact Toronto was able to get someone to take that contract was good enough. Vasquez wasn't too bad with New Orleans either.

masai ujiri is a gangster
-
It's too bad he's had to use up so much of that gangster just correcting the mistakes made by the previous GM. Definitely a huge step forward though. Canada might actually have a decent team in a couple years now that there's someone with a brain making basketball decisions in Toronto.
-
Masai cleaning shop in Toronto, what a fucking shithole Colangelo dug for them. There's already a job in Brooklyn for him in 2015.

looking forward to the future in toronto.

The worst part of that is he dealt Gay to his allaged protege on some wink wink backdoor shit. It doesn't help that the kings continue to builds their organization like they are playing fantasy on yahoo. Disgusting.

Apparently Felton would be going to Toronto and MWP could be included as a salary dump, much like Salmons was in the Gay trade.

should be interesting to see how that Adams guy off the bench develops. I really like his game and he's tough as nails I could see him replacing perkins as starting center down the line.

They probably would have lost to the Heat in the finals, but who knows. After that, he would have left and we would have no Jeremy Lamb or Steven Adams, and Reggie Jackson wouldn't of progressed to the point he's at now as a solid 6th man.

The Raptors are 5-2 in their last 7, with wins against the 76'ers, Lakers (with Kobe), Bulls, Mavs and Thunder.

The Pacers are taking care of business so far and have been fun to watch. The loss to Portland had playoff like intensity and the Heat games have been battles for sure. As much as I'd like to watch hoops all day tomorrow, the only game that looks good is LAC/GSW.

I remember Adidas talking last year about trying to introduce those jerseys. I hope the public outcry was enough to change their minds. I remember at one point the announcer said that the terrible games might be partly the jerseys' fault since the players weren't used to sleeves for the most part. A bit of a stretch, but I'm inclined to agree. The best comment I saw was "they look like the top to a children's pajama set"

And this is why the Heat will win a 3rd championship in a row, even without Lebron they're still able to match up with almost any team.
-
That pass doe!
-
The whole Bynum thing smells. From the get go with that structure you knew they were looking to deal him at some point during the season. They were never gambling on him to become a center piece to that team but to become a trade asset. Fuck the cavs. If they think bron is going to return to that three ring service they are delusional. Dan Gilbert should be checked for early signs of dementia.

Horford out for the season. Atlanta's faint hopes are dimmed and the East just gets more lopsided. Ugh.

The Thunder didn't have Westbrook and still beat the Rockets by 30. I could see Bynum going to Dallas or Detroit soon.
-
The lakers are looking to deal pau for Bynum and then waive Bynum. Sorry for Jabari.
-
word is the Heat & Clippers want him. I think he's (potentially) too good of a player to play behind 2 other bigs like Griffin & Jordan and wouldn't like to be 3rd fiddle, regardless of how fragile his knees are. Miami would be interesting tho as far his "lack of motivation" to play ball I'm sure a potential 3rd ring and maybe even a possible starting role down the line (depending on health & performance) should reinvigorate him. should be interesting to see what happens to him wherever he goes
-
At this point in his career you don't want him playing more than 20 mins a game anyways. Playing behind dj and Blake would be a non issue and Miami likes to play bosh at center with their small ball philosophy. In both cases those offenses are so potent he would be a 5th option in most rotations. Miami needs him for boards and the clips need him in crunch time to make free throws. But this is all if dude wants to play ball opposed to bumping Trina and building computers while working from home.
-
I'm confused about what's going with my Raptors are we tanking or not? defeated Chicago last night IN Chicago one of only 2 teams to beat the Thunder in OKC swept the Knicks home and home and with a win tonight vs Indiana we'll be at a respectable 14-14 on the season which sadly is upper echelon for the Eastern Conference.

I am still a Cavs fan though I think the season is already over so I am jumping on the Portland bandwagon! Fuck Lebum and the Cheat!!

Bynum's 26 years old for god's sake. Not even in the prime of his career and you want to hold him to under 20 minutes?
Bynum could be a top 5 big man in the NBA, but his work ethic and body need serious work. If 80 million can't light a fire under the guy, nothing will.

Big tree falls hard. He's not a Kareem or Hakeem body type built to last. He's a BIG man. Dudes like shaq come once in a life time. The only 7 footer in the league right now playing productive minutes is roy hibbert and hes more of a defensive specialist. Bynum's been in the league 8 years already and has shown over that time that he's not guaranteed a full season. So yeah as a hypothetical coach or GM for a contending team in a regular season 20-22 mins seems about right in a time share with a sub 7 foot center that can run the floor and keep up with smaller line ups that that the majority of the league runs. If you actually watch basketball you know two things. One, the big man is dead and no one has post moves. In this day in age Bynum is a luxury and not a necessity.
As for the raptors, who is this tem and what have they done with the Toronto proffesional basketball team. Big win tonight against the pacers. It's clear that psycho t is putting this team on his back. All jokes aside they staryed play great team ball once the ball started to move after the black hole formerly known as Rudy gay departed.Can't wait for the hornets to sign him. I have to say though the raps are getting a little lucky here. They arent taking the most efficient shots. Sometimes the ball goes down.

Rudy Gay is going to Sign with Charlotte?? Despite playing much improved team ball your'e still going to get 2 or 3 Derozan plays that make you scratch your head that's just his style of play Terrence Ross aswell
On an unrelated noted Anyone else think Danny Granger should just go away? dude is starting to stunt Stephenson's progression and I don't like that becuase A. I have on my fantasy team B. I want Indy to be as sharp as possible going to the playoffs so they can send Lebron and co packing. Stephenson who leading the league with the most triple doubles this season (3) hasn't hit double digit scoRing in the last two games and that's pretty much since Grangers been back >:(

I was implying that Charlotte makes a lot of poor business decisions and throwing money at Rudy Gay seems to be the next domino to fall.
As far as Granger goes I have no problem with him staying on the team. They seemed to be a shooter shy despite playing at the level that they do. Indy tends to have a problem putting up points when they have just two guys who can score regularly and efficiently. Lance is great but he's one of those guys who needs the ball in his hands to do anything and regularly does dumb stuff that frustrates the hell out you. Total irrational confidence guy. Ideally they are looking for a loul deng or Jamal Crawford. Bulls think they can keep deng and the clips have plenty of shooters and are looking for someone with size. Maybe Minnesota realizes that they can't quite push over the top and deal Kevin Martin and piecies for grangers expiring.

I think you may be thinking of the Lance Stephenson of 2011-12 his maturity and on court decision making has improved vastly and let's face it DG is not the player he once was but is still convinced he is. If he didn't go down Paul George wouldn't have excelled to super stardom. I'd rather develop a young 2-way player in Stephenson as much as possible than give some of his minutes to an injury prone shoot-first guy that reached his ceiling 5 years ago. If I'm Larry Bird DG is gone by Feb which will probably happen.

Bird has already openly stated his disdain for granger. It will come as a surprise to no one if he gets unloaded. Expiring contracts are worth their weight in gold. Until then you should at least see if he can conform to a role playing role. Something granger will have to get used to as no smart GM in the league looks at granger and thinks, "FRANCHISE GUY."
I will contest that Stephenson is making huge strides and becoming a better player but his shot selection is still questionable albeit he is shooting in the high forties. Take a look at this chart:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/xm5p1j.jpg)
On the left side he likes to jack up 3's and continue to not make them. You can't do the same things and expect different results. In the painted area away from the basket he forces his shot. Him needing to develop a floater goes without saying. The mid range is always a gamble and the ability to make the worst shot in the game makes or breaks a two gaurd. He's definitely not Kobe. He's a good player but not an exceptional player but I can definitely see, over time, lance becoming a commodity. Definitely a valuable contract at the moment.

They're just one of those teams that doesn't have a superstar just yet but they're just playing extremely good basketball. The players brought over in the Gay trade seem to fit Casey's system a lot better, not to mention Lowry and Johnson have been fantastic so far this season for them.

Anderson may be out for the season, rough sledding for him
The saddest and grimmest of all details concerning Gia Allemand's death have been revealed by police.
The 29-year-old dance instructor, who gained fame on The Bachelor and Bachelor Pad, had been fighting with her boyfriend hours before using a vacuum cleaner cord to hang herself from the stairwell of her home, according to an incident report obtained by E! News from the New Orleans Police Department.
Per the report, boyfriend Ryan Anderson told investigators that he and Allemand had argued through lunch on the afternoon of Aug. 12 "over her suspicions that he had been unfaithful to her."
Anderson, who plays for the NBA's newly renamed New Orleans Pelicans, said that he took her to a Walgreens to buy several items, including Nyquil cough syrup, before dropping her off at her apartment at around 6 p.m. Before she got out of the car, the report continues, Allemand told him that she still loved him, to which he said he replied, "I don't love you anymore."

Anderson went home, he said, and at 7:28 p.m. he got a text from Allemand's mother saying he needed to go check on Gia, that they had been on phone and then the line just went silent for 10 minutes.
The athlete told police that he arrived at Allemand's house 20 minutes later, opened the door with his key and found her unconscious but in a sitting position on the second step of a spiral staircase near her front door, a vacuum cleaner cord "wrapped around her neck many times," the report states.
The report continued: "Anderson stated that he frantically unwrapped the cord" from around her neck, she was "not responsive" and he stated that he "began yelling for help." A neighbor, Julieann Snow, later told police that she heard a male voice "frantically calling for help" at about 7:50 p.m. and, when she went next door, she saw Anderson "holding Ms. Allemand on the floor near the door."

Snow told Officers Daniel M. Oquendo and Robert Fuller, who first responded to the scene and filled out the incident report, that she then called 911.

Per the report, Oquendo then called for a crime lab and a homicide detective, the latter of whom surveyed the scene and advised that he saw no signs of foul play in the apartment.
The officers stated that they found a handwritten note lying on the dining room table that read, "Mom gets everything."
At University Hospital, where Allemand was taken by ambulance, a Dr. E. Jones told Oquendo and Fuller that she was "technically still alive," but on life support and being given drugs to keep her blood pressure at a life-sustaining level. Her prognosis was "grim," the doctor reportedly said, and it was estimated that she had been deprived of oxygen for approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
Allemand died after being taken off of life support on Aug. 13.
Anderson later said in a statement that she "was the most beautiful person" he knew.
"She had such an amazing impact on my life and anyone that knew her was blessed," he said. "All I have left is to cherish those memories we made together and help perpetuate the many values, faith and love that we shared."
Her colleagues at Pure Barre gym, where she taught classes, organized a memorial for the late star in New Orleans on Saturday. At least 50 people gathered along the banks of the Mississippi River to share memories and prayers and toss white flowers in the water.
A public viewing was taking place today at Papavero Funeral Home in Maspeth, N.Y., and then Allemand's family is holding a funeral for her tomorrow at Trinity Grace Church of Chelsea in New York City.

The six-man field for the dunk contest at All-Star Weekend in New Orleans will feature three big names from the actual All-Star Game, according to sources close to the process.
Sources told ESPN.com that Indiana's Paul George, Washington's John Wall and Portland's Damian Lillard are confirmed entrants in the dunk field that will be officially announced later Thursday on TNT.
ESPN.com reported Wednesday night that George, Wall and Lillard were poised to join defending champion Terrence Ross of the Toronto Raptors in the competition.
Sources confirmed Thursday that Golden State's Harrison Barnes and Sacramento rookie Ben McLemore are the other two participants in the contest, which has met with lukewarm reviews the past several years, partly due to a lack of star power on display.
The All-Star Game is Sunday, Feb. 16, at New Orleans Arena.
With Paul and Bryant highly unlikely to play who do you think will replace them for the west?
CP3 will play in the All-Star game.

Lakers were down to 5 active players last night, so when someone fouled out, they still were able to play but every foul they picked up after the 6th foul would be a technical.

Going to be a good All star weekend.

Manu Ginobili's Shoe Explodes!? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-qNeNzaD5YE#)

Trade deadline was a bust more or less. New CBA means no-ones trading picks for anything and just dumping outta-favour older guys like Baby, Granger, Bynum, MWP etc. who then just go and sign with a contender for nothing. So the Clippers etc. don't even have to worry about the trade deadline cause why give up assets and trade for those guys when you can just claim them all off waivers. I can kinda see it stalemating hard an it sure sucked the fun outta trade week. Maybe the offseason will be different.
-
Looking at the landscape of the league, regardless of the new cba, the only marquee player with the likelyhood of being traded was melo with the small potential of a terrible Minnesota front office pulling off a k love trade. Both of which would have garnered a kings ransom that no real contender could have possibly paid for. Every year there is this whole hype for some blockbuster trade and more times than not it never happens. Maybe lets stop hype beasting the trade deadline.

chicago are better than the raptors thats probably why
-
Well the teams split the season series 2-2. We have a better overall record, better road record, have FAR better offensive numbers (Chicago ranks an embarrassing 30th in scoring), and are a much deeper team in my opinion. Bulls just have better defense.
So how is Chicago cut and dry "better" than the Toronto Raptors? please state your case good sir.

because they gone win more games in the playoffs

We'll have to wait and see about that one, but in the meantime my Raps are better.

Kewl, u r a second round exit. Brilliant strategy for franchise building.

Indiana was a second round exit three seasons ago...

I don't think at the beginning of this season anyone thought the Raptors would be in the position they are right now. I didn't, at least. And I don't know about franchise building but things feel a bit more positive here than they have recently. Get these guys some playoff experience and see how we do next year. See if we hold on to Lowry, though.
To be honest I haven't been a Raptors fan since the second round exit in 2001.

Welcome to ESPN. They will always give more attention to the big name and big market teams. Its no surprise that they talk about how much the Knicks suck rather than focusing on the Wizards or Raptors. But it doesn't matter anyways, there are teams in the West that aren't even seeded in a playoff spot that are better than the third best team in the east.

As a Laker fan I honestly do not see how they would let Phil Jackson slip away from them and go to the Knicks. He's engaged to Jeannie Buss, he doesn't really want to leave the city of LA, the lakers are about to enter a rebuilding process with a lottery pick this year and a hell of a free agent class in 2015 so he would be primed to start his legacy in the front office. Now if he does go to NY, the lakers are going to be competing against the recruitment of Phil Jackson when trying to get those free agents in 2015. Stupid on the Lakers part if they don't swoop in and bring Phil back to a front office role.

I stand by my coach Thibbs comment 100% he's a phenomenal coach don't get me wrong but even with Rose healthy his is lack of emphathis on offense will always catch up to him. Even the '04 Pistons that had historical defense but wasn't dead last in scoring you have to be masterful on both ends to win a title just ask a guy by the name of Gregg Popovich
-
If Thibodeau was the coach of the Heat, then he'd have multiple championships. The Bulls roster is filled with solid players, but you're not going to be good offensively when Noah or DJ Augustine are your best scoring options. On top of that, they haven't even had Rose for 2 seasons now. Half of their damn roster was out during the playoffs last year. They might not be an offensive juggernaut even with a healthy Rose, but they wouldn't be nearly as bad as they are now.

If my cat was the coach of the HEAT they'd have multiple championships having Lebron and 2 ALL STARS is the equivlant to having 2 Queens in a game of chess. My point was they HAD a healthy Rose Deng Asik better role players and still couldn't even reach the Finals. You guys are twisting my words as if I'm saying Thibodeau is not a good coach he's a phenominal coach he's just in that category of amazing coaches that stubbornly stick to their one-sided philosophies be it offense or defense (Dantoni,Don Nelson,Scott Skiles ect)

You guys are twisting my words as if I'm saying Thibodeau is not a good coach he's a phenominal coach he's just in that category of amazing coaches that stubbornly stick to their one-sided philosophies be it offense or defense (Dantoni,Don Nelson,Scott Skiles ect)
And I'm done with this argument we'll see who goes farther come April LET'S GOOOOO RAPTORRRRRRSSSSSS
I'm not.
In Thibodeau's first year he took the Bulls from being a .500 team to a team that went 62-20. They lost to Miami of course, but did you really expect a young team with a new coach to get it perfect the first time? The next year the Bulls looked even better. They had experience now and could take down Miami. We never saw that opportunity because Rose went down early in the playoffs. We never saw it the next year when he missed the entire season. And then again this year...
Did you really just try to give Thibodeau praise by putting him in the same category as D'antoni?
My point: They only had that fully healthy team ONCE. And it was their first crack at it against the team that you said was so good your cat could coach them to a couple of championships. A young team with 1 superstar and good role players in their first good year vs the best player in the game and two all stars in their prime. hmm.. what did you expect?
Before you irrationally label Thibodeau as a stubborn coach who refuses to change his philosophy that will never win, why don't you give the guy more time and judge him when he actually has had more real opportunities at contending for a championship? Everyone has their own opinion, but your views about Thibodeau are absolutely flawed and terrible.

Back from the Warriors v. Bucks game. Shitty as they are, the bucks played good. Should have won in Portland.
Bummer Larry Sanders is out. OJ Mayo doesn't play anymore either.
Well, he kinda sucks and has been injured recently.

If Thibodeau was the coach of the Heat, then he'd have multiple championships. The Bulls roster is filled with solid players, but you're not going to be good offensively when Noah or DJ Augustine are your best scoring options. On top of that, they haven't even had Rose for 2 seasons now. Half of their damn roster was out during the playoffs last year. They might not be an offensive juggernaut even with a healthy Rose, but they wouldn't be nearly as bad as they are now.

I wouldn't say irrationally but fair enough I'll cut him some slack and cross my fingers Rose can return to form next season. I'm also a HUGE Jimmy Butler fan (I've been watching him since his Marquette days) a Healthy D Rose just makes the NBA that much better. My offensive critiques will still remain as will 90% of anyone that actually knows basketball I don't know about you but watching half court smash-mouth basketball that scores in the mid 70s can be pretty un-appealing sometimes. I would just like to see him uitilize Dunleavy,Snell,DJ in the full court a bit more then run pick and pop and post-ups with Boozer/Noah/Gibson to death.
I guess if you have limited roster and that's what works for you to win then run it. If you put it in perspective he's done the best job a coach could do in terms of turning a franchise around after the firing of Del Negro so I'll give the man his due.
It just irks me that my team that's suffered countless losing seasons and is finally emerging and playing better basketball (RIGHT NOW) than Chicago is getting no credit and that was my point in the first place.
-
Half court basketball boring? You must hate the playoffs.

That's different. HUGE match up tonight vs OKC should be a good game Durant's gonna come out guns blazin' I'm sure he's still ticked off from that rare home loss earlier this year

hahaha unfortunately that's pretty accurate just the replace the gutter with my bed and the bottle of rye with red wine.
But seriously up 8 points in 2OT with 49 seconds left and you lose??? >:( gotta give it to Durant though that's a bad man right there.
I just hope this devastating loss doesn't send us off the rails... hit that erase button and keep playing focused down the stretch. Hosting ATL this afternoon hopefully we can get a solid W and get back on track.

Well there's about month left in the regular season and once again the TOO OLD San Antonio Spurs sit atop the NBA standings and have won 13 straight games and a lot of that has do with Kawhi Leonard (my favourite current NBA player)
"The #Spurs are 33-9 in the games that Kawhi Leonard has played this season, and just 8-7 in the games that he's missed."

My Raps also got the come back win with style! Now if Indiana can take care of those pesky Bulls tonight we can get a little bit of breathing room. It won't be easy though I don't see a lot of teams defeating Chicago twice in a 4 night span, going to be an ugly one... first team to 80 points wins! hahaha

I really want spurs mavs in the first round. Battle of the deep rotation system teams. For all my fans of analytics and just all around great basketball this is the series to watch. If youre earl the pedal you can wattch Houston/Portland or Houston/golden state and watch less defense played than the rookie sophomore game.

Whoa now, the dubs are ranked 3rd in the league in defensive efficiency....and the mavs? You must be a Texan .

Houston might lack defense, but I'm happy we finally have a great roster. Not that long ago our most exciting player was arguably scola... Stuck in mediocrity limbo.

You want to see SA sweep Dallas? Actually so do I, Memphis probably has the best chance at a big upset.. Hoping for that, even though I love Texas on Texas hoops.
Going for 17 straight tonight, New Orleans won't go down easy

In the Western Conference Earl The Pearl will be watching whichever team San Antonio dissects and destroys in the post season as long as Kawhi stays healthy every other team stands little chance. I can see we're you're coming from given the depth the Mavs actually possesses but no matter what the system will prevail.

you dickheads are underrating how fucking good dirk nowitzki is, spurs defensive system does not work against him
-

I don't think anybody is denying Dirk's greatness Beer Keg (is that even possible?) but in the grand scheme of things the Dirk-factor that is so tough for most teams gets negated by Timmy D there's no clear cut advantage offensively or defensively between the 2.
So unless Mr Nowitzki plans of going for 40+ 4 times in a 7 game series without home-court advantage against one of the best most-polished intricate defenses of all time he won't be that factor that defeats San Antonio. They've won 17 straight and have been manhandling Dallas all season not by mistake.
That being said, who knows it's NBA anything can happen even miracles (burn in Hell Miami Heat)

do you even league pass bro?

I most definitely fucks with League Pass

i didn't say they would beat them 4 times, im saying it will be a good series

ballstreams.com is a quarter the price and better quality. No blackouts and you get all playoff games and college playoff games. Sometime it is laggy but i assume league pass has that problem occasionally too. It is illegal im sure but it is fucking sweet
-

Fair enough so do I...and I don't want to come off arrogant but I'd be happy if the Mavs manage to squeak out a nice feel-good home win if that match up does in fact happen.

KNICKS are going to make the playoffs! Jackson had an immediate impact
Oh Fuck off. The Knicks were on like an 8 game winning streak before he was hired. They're only near the playoff spots because Amare has been playing better of late and because of their relatively easy schedule post-all star break.
-
KNICKS are going to make the playoffs! Jackson had an immediate impact
All Phil has done is sit and look at the Knicks. Where was his impact when the Knicks were blown out by the lowly lakers? And I don't see why anyone would ever care about a team like the Knicks making the playoffs. If you're 12 games below .500 and in the East you shouldn't even be allowed to get a playoff spot.

Curry is cold-blooded, but the Mavs were stiffed on Monta's layup. How often do you see someone take the ball in mid-air like that as the ball's on the way up still? The race for 6 through 9 in the West is gonna be so tight I feel bad for whoever misses.

They should give Memphis or PHX the 8 spot in the East
Rockets vs Raptors tonight going to the game I'm so hyped! should be a good one I love watching Patrick Beverly dude plays D like he's from the 80s mean and dirty him/Lin vs Lowry will be a treat hope we get the W gotta hang on to that 3rd spot
-
Damn.... Beverly has a tear in his meniscus and possibly DNP down the stretch.Lowry might not play either... ah well still a good game none the less a lot of playoff positioning on the line tonight for both teams and last time they faced off back in Nov it was a double OT thriller.

Love this time of year, most playoff matchups decided, the scrubs playing their hearts out for big deals. Western Conf is worth looking at. Even after San Antonio losing they can play 7 games with anyone, clear cut favorite barring the Heat's injury status.
I have spurs +1260 to win the title and am more than excited to hedge every series, even though they could run over everyone with a hot Danny Green and Ginobili

Much rather face Indy in a 7 game series you need skilled dominant bigs to defeat Miami, all due respect to Amir and Valanciunas they're not strong factors when we match up with them that's why they always beat us. But we've beating Indy twice this season and match up with them much better on paper.... can't wait till Saturday!!!!!

I'm not the biggest Griffin fan, I was when he was Oklahoma and his breakout rookie year but ever since CP went to the Clippers he's changed and CP is as dirty/sneaky as they come. That being said you can't take anything away from his game he's a top tier player weather you like him or not.

That Suns loss the other night was a heart breaker. I really enjoyed watching those dudes play, which is more than I can say for the atlanta hawks and probably 2-3 other playoff teams in the East.
You have to hand it to the Grizzlies, though. I can't believe they made it to 50 wins after the atrocious start they had. The difference that Marc Gasol makes to that team is crazy.

Clips have nothing to play for after okc locked down the second seed. I'm very happy with the western conference playoffs.
Only plausible upset is Portland over Houston. Got the battle for Texas. Although Timmy and Dirk won't spend a lot of time guarding eachother it's pretty nice to see them on the court at once. I'm not sure how I feel about Memphis yet.

The Raptors are the 3rd seed in the 2014 NBA playoffs, honestly can't believe my eyes. What a miracle season even after the Gay trainwreck. Although I stopped following Toronto hoops years ago, it's nice to see the Canadian team FINALLY in the mix.
Spurs going all the way, can't wait for SA to beat that ass in game 1 ;D ;D

Spurs are going to TORCH Dallas get rest and as long as they avoid Houston should cruise into the WCF like last year. I've never been prouder to be a Raptors fan we finally have a TEAM that plays unselfish basketaball and both sides of the floor at an elite level. Be careful what you wish for Mr Kidd you wanted us you got us.

Last day of regular season hoops! a lot is still on the line I kind of want the Raptors to lose tonight so we can slip down to 4th and stay out of Miami's bracket. I'm confident going into a series against Brooklyn not saying we'll beat them not saying they'll beat us it will be a good series either way.? Some of the Western Conference scenarios are pretty interesting aswell I'd like Dallas to slip to 8th seed because Spurs will struggle with Memphis
yeah but dude if you are 4th in the standings that means you are automatically worse than chicago, standings = how good a team is, remember?

Yeah in the regular season it's a thing called standings so the teams that beat more teams get things like home court advantage and division titles ect not to mention even outside of the standings my Raps we're playing better basketball in basically every category than Chicago at the time but you ESPN and Bill Simmons can keep ignoring the facts.
Just don't be surprised when your Bulls barley squeak by Washington because they can't score more than 70 points.

You're right defense is crucial to having post season success and making a deep playoff run you know what's next up after that? the ability to come back from double digit deficits and sound offensive execution something that Chicago can not do. And if you think Brooklyn will "wax that ass" you must have not seen a single Nets game all season.

that pacers game was hard to watch and they might just shit the bed.
roy hibbert is fucking terrible lately n jeff teague was flying past all of the pacers like trees in the ground.
raptors/nets was not so bad other than that shot clock shit but itll probably go six games to the nets.
I think bulls/wizards will be tight. hope john wall goes off but you never know with him.
bobcats are going to get run over fast but hey I'm shocked they are even here but good for them n mj. leastern confrence
durrant wont be denied but Memphis will still probably win 2 games.
clippers dubs will go 7 games idk to who yet but its the best series out there right now.
Houston/Portland will be interesting if the blazers actually play there game if not the beard will run all over em.
and finally as much as I hate to admit it the spurs will bore there way right past dirk n monta ellis.
raptors gm screamin fuck Brooklyn!

We turned the ball over 19 times and our best player was basically a non factor and the game STILL came down to the last 3 minutes.That doesn't bode well for the Nets. Also why don't you save your crude pictures till the series is over? it's just one game... show some class

No. Don't make idiotic statements just because you don't have the patience to watch hockey. Does anyone really care about the outcomes of the Bulls/Wizards series? Does anyone really care about the outcome of the Nets/Raptors series? The Heat will blow by the first 2 rounds then face either a slumping Indy or another terrible Eastern conference team. While certainly there are favorites in the NHL playoffs, things are still wide open for most teams to make a run.

Talk about idiotic statements
Raptors had 10 000 fans outside the ACC so yes people care if they win or lose. We have Atlanta punking Indy anything can happen in the NBA. Portland won a game they were destined to lose, probably the best game of the year

Last time I checked Portland and Houston were not in the Eastern Conference... Read what I type before you speak...
And I said before, the Pacers have been in a slump for a while now where they don't look like the one seed that has is supposed to take off the Heat. So I would not be totally surprised if they get knocked off early. And if anything that just proves my point.. Indy sucking just means the East lost one of their two teams that had a real shot in going to the finals and winning it all. It doesn't matter if the Hawks, Nets, Raptors, Bulls, or Wizards advance, they aren't going anywhere because they wont get past the heat nor would they ever have a chance against a western conference team in the Finals. Of course people in the team's hometown are going to care... I'm talking about everyone else

I will agree with you on one thing no team no team in the East stands a chance vs the Western Conference elite INCLUDING Miami. BUT you can't just throw My Raps ,Washington, Chicago ect under the bus like that. Indy isn't the only top team that's been struggling Miami barley played 500 basketball down the stretch and I don't care if Lebron's minutes were reduced bla bla bla San Antonio rested the big guns down the stretch and finished 17-2.
I can't say with confidence Miami is going to streamroll any team in the second round like last year.

I'll watch those teams and appreciate them in the regular season, but in the playoffs I don't see the point in watching them.
Seeing Miami this vulnerable makes things even more frustrating. But since Indy is struggling even more and the rest of the field isnt good, they will still most likely make there way to the finals. And it probably won't be a smooth ride for them, but they will get there and then will probably turn it on for the finals. Miami really only has to show up and bring their A game for one series and thats the finals. It would be much more entertaining if they had to go through a grueling playoff run in the west and play real competition.

this is the number one series to watch but that was the absolute worst game in the playoffs by far even tho there has only been only like 10 games.

Big Baby Vagina. I know the warriors played bad the first half (but that didnt stop them game 1) but if you look at the scores in the 3rd and 4th quarter it doesnt look that bad, only got outscored 6 in the 3rd and 8 in the 4th. i just hope the warriors play as physical and poised in games 3 and 4 as they did in game 1. GO WARRIORS! FUCK FLOP SHITTY!

I think the washinton wizards will win again tonight. john wall and bradley beal went 7 for 25 combined in game 1
and I doubt that'll happen again. also blows my mind guys like nene and gortat are huge factors lately.
toronto raptors will hold it down tonight and get the W if demar derozen decides to show up and play tonight.
indiana pacers will win tonight. game 1 was ridiculous and a wake up call. someone needs to step up whether it be paul george or lance stephenson since they'll be paying for it on the defensive end all game with dumpy slow roy hibbert in there watching jeff teague blow by.
I have no interest in seeing ATL going any further but watch it somehow go 7 games.
If they somehow lose tonight at home again frank vogel better dust off that resume.

It's been the same story all season with these bulls. Can't find ways to score in the final two minutes of game. Time for thibs to open mouth insert foot. Should have eyed the draft instead of the playoffs. A strong defensive team isn't an elite one. If they don't get melo in the offseason then these guys will play out their contracts in vein.

fuck melo going to the bulls and fuck tanking. the bulls don't play that shit. last night was an incredibly unfortunate game in which the bulls couldn't find a way to finish. theyre still making it past the warriors, stats be damned
-
It's not unfortunate if it's a constant. Chicago seems to find a way to stop scoring in the final minutes. Maybe because your first option is DJ Augustine. Even if d rose was healthy they still need another scorer to push them over the top. Insert melo. I'm not talking about tanking either. I'm saying looking at the macro it seems like thibs is just worried about his legacy in the nba. Odd for a coach to think like a player in terms of stat padding. Although I'd consider him a top 5 coach at this point his selfishness and stubourness it's what's costing that franchise real success.
Also of you're a real bulls fan, chillout, why would you be opposed to an addition that would only improve your chances of winning a title. Is title winning shit that the bulls organization doesn't play? Last I checked they had 6 of them fuckers.
What do the warriors have to do with all this?

Bulls:The defense was lacking.If they played like this throughOUT the season they would not have made it this far. Also, how does Noah make freethrows but Heinrich doesnt. Some bad calls forsure
It was a good time at the united center though. Kind of trippy how quiet it is while theyre playing. cant here dribbling,or their shoes screeching across the floor or any of the usual "basketball" sounds you do on TV.

dallas mavericks steal one on the road tonight and monta ellis will have a big game.
portland/houston game 1 was full of bullshit calls but I think portland will win another close game. fear no beard

Only the 3rd player to post back to back 40+ on the road in the play offs.

post games reaction
I think the miami heats luck is going to run out eventually.
obviously not this series but lost by only 4 points and I saw at least 5 fouls plus and 1s not called on miami.
the mavs got the grapes to beat the spurs in this series and devin harris is back from the dead off the bench.
I hope portland sweep the rockets. L-TRAIN CAN NOT BE STOPPED putting up numbers like he's playing 2k14.
and damian lillard even with bad shooting night still finds a way to kill it. they fear no beard yo!
-
oh how great it would be to see Dwight and the Rockets get swept in the first round.
-
Spurs were flat wire to wire, they take 1 game in Dallas not even worried. That aldridge guy is a beast back to the rose garden 2-0, it's like the battle of person defense

Why are you always harping on everyone? we're a bunch of skateboarders talking NBA hoops chill out man, and the Gortat thing you posted is flat out disgusting.
Annnnyways even though Spurs game was a total let down watching LMA dominate basically the entire Rockets squad was pretty damn entertaining only tuning in to Hawks Pacers to see if Teague goes off again but looking most forward to OKC- Memphis I could watch Marc Gasol's touch passes all day, should be a good one.

pacers take game 3, big game from PG. pacers back on track roy hibbert still shit tho.
call me crazy but the memphis grizzlies win a close game tonight at home. they always give okc a hard time for some reason.
warriors/clippers I'm on the fence. someone needs to get physical and get in blakes head like bogut does.
but warriors win a close game at oracle arena and that place is going to be nuts. I pray there is some scrappin and it gets nasty.
also can't believe they changed josh mcroberts foul on LeBron to a flagrant 2 and fined him 20k just because he's LeBron.
charlotte should put him down on his back every time him and his hairline comes into the lane detroit bad boy style.

Talk about idiotic statements
Raptors had 10 000 fans outside the ACC so yes people care if they win or lose. We have Atlanta punking Indy anything can happen in the NBA. Portland won a game they were destined to lose, probably the best game of the year
No one gave a shit about the Raptors from the moment Bosh bailed until they got good this season after the Gay trade. 10,000 people outside in Maple Leafs Square is nice and all, but when the Leafs made the playoffs last year, there was even more than 10,000 people there.

At least Steph didn't do the bitchy blake tear squirt flop. Refs kinda blew it there, Dubs in 7.
-
woo warriors/clippers came down to the wire but golden state went 6 for 31 from deep. live by the 3, DIE BY THE 3. dubs please win tho.
memphis just gives okc trouble for some reason and okc should be worried.
finally the pacers they are done for. I kinda hope they lose I hate watching them play basketball now.
about 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter down by 10 every indiana possession was just lance stephenson or PG just dribbling out the shot clock to take a shit shot.
roy hibbert needs to just set up shop on the bench also cant believe scola was the only thing keeping them in that game pretty much.
all I will remember from that game is jeff teague pullin this.www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj5hujHvKMU#t=16 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj5hujHvKMU#t=16)

Yeah it's Canada and unfortunately Hokey here is priority numero uno that doesn't mean anything really, you're kind of just stating the obvious. At the end of the day I didn't see 10,000 fans outside of any other arenas in the NBA.

I have to agree with the statement that Indiana is a terrible team to watch. Their offense is cringe worthy.
Can't wait to see the Rockets/Trailblazers game tonight, the Rose Garden will be going nuts.
-
I'll will be watching Aldridge basically do lay up drills tonight with whiskey in hand.

Vegas is expecting Houston to bounceback, Portland is only 2 point favorite after sweeeping the first 2 road games.

^^^arent you supposed to be freeing the internet porn slaves or something.?
yeah I'm working on the masturbation proclamation in my spare time.
but toronto raptors win in bk tonight in a close game.
wizards win big at home against the bulls. chicago just doesn't have the fire power.
finally portland wins at home to go up 3-0 but lamarcus aldridge doesn't go for 40+ tonight. still big numbers.
dwight howard will have a good game again but harden will play like garbage I hope.

Unfortunately? Hockey is the sport Canadians excel at. If the Raptors aren't as good next year for various reasons, people will stop watching again, which is sad considering the Leafs and Jays aren't good at all, yet they still have strong attendance.
I live in the GTA and it's great the Raptors made the playoffs, just the fairweather fanbase pisses me off.

I think it's beginning to change a bit though basketball is becoming much stronger in Canada we'll be sending at least three solid players via NBA draft.
Anyways last night was disappointment all across the board, my Raps lost basically over missed FTs, I wanted Portland to sweep Howard so bad and now that's not going to happen, and Nene got his thick headed ass tossed out which basically cost Washing the game....

Nene just got suspended for Game 4 against the Bulls for head butting Jimmy Butler. Pretty big lost for Washington since Nene has been shutting Joakim Noah down this series and has been a beast for his team. Gonna be a really interesting game 4.

that sterling shit was uncomfortable to listen to, even outside of the blatant racism and backtracking. This grown man is fucking whining and crying like a child, saying shit like "you're just a fighter, you're just a fighter." Plus there were some really cuckoldy moments, like at least twice he tells her she can basically fuck all the black dudes she wants as long as she's not on instagram (straight flexin) with them? Wtf? He's a piece of shit, but guaranteed nothing comes of this because he's old, rich, and white.

they'll somehow find a way to get that old racist fuck outta the nba.
wizards win at home even without nene. still can't believe he got suspended for slow dancing with jimmy butler but whatever.
golden state bounces back and wins at home.
toronto raptors win in BK. both losses for toronto endless turnovers and played shitty and still kept up with them.
finally portland wins big at home. l-train big game!

golden state finally came to play. I wonder what the scene will be like at staples center on tuesday.

This has to be one of the most physical series I've seen in the "modern NBA" guys are hitting the deck hard on basically every possession so much sneaky elbows and jabs official's time out at least once a game to clean up blood.... I'm loving it

im super curious about what the staples center is going to be like on tuesday.... maybe donald sterling will sell the clippers to stevie williams and they will just change the name to Asphalt Yacht Club. Jaws would then be the new owner of the trampoline dunk team and innovate the shit out of it.

the heat will barely win in charlotte and advance which we all know, but I still hope someone flagrant 2s lebrons bitch ass.
pacers also barely win tonight at home. (still rather ATL win they just have more heart then Indiana)
and somehow still jeff teague will be able to just blow past em and get a lay up whenever he pleases.
mavs take game 4 at home in a close game if monta ellis doesn't go 3/16 or some shit like that. you never know with him.
finally the staples center will be fucking nuts tomorrow outside the arena at least. al sharpton and the protest party will be bumpin.
people will still attend the game tho. I don't expect there to be an empty seat in the house.
its also turned my beloved nba playoff into this big racist issue. great playoff games being taken over and shadowed by this.

the spurs are the best team I hate to watch play basketball but good for them.
you mean the raptors fell asleep at the wheel until about 5 minutes left. they're up by 20, I take a dump boom game is tied.
and joe johnson had 5 fouls forever and nobody decided to just drive into him and foul him out.
but don't get me wrong I'm rooting for them, they're better than people think and I think they'll somehow give Miami trouble.
unrelated fuck drake.
and so what the blazers get to end the series at home.
anyway I think the pacers wake the fuck up and win in ATL but I wouldn't complain if they lost.
okc bounces back and wins game 6 on the road I hope but idk man.
finally the warriors win big at home by making all their 3s.

you mean the raptors fell asleep at the wheel until about 5 minutes left. they're up by 20, I take a dump boom game is tied.
and joe johnson had 5 fouls forever and nobody decided to just drive into him and foul him out.
but don't get me wrong I'm rooting for them, they're better than people think and I think they'll somehow give Miami trouble.
unrelated fuck drake.
and so what the blazers get to end the series at home.
anyway I think the pacers wake the fuck up and win in ATL but I wouldn't complain if they lost.
okc bounces back and wins game 6 on the road I hope but idk man.
finally the warriors win big at home by making all their 3s.
So many people say this but I never understood the view about the spurs being good but boring. I absolutely love watching them play. Its refreshing to see some organized, fundamental, team basketball. The Clippers or Rockets are the type of teams that bore me. Jacking up a ton of threes at a streaky rate or watching James Harden barrel his way inside to just draw fouls is the worst.
-
Agreed high efficiency disciplined EXTREMLY successful smart system basketball? what's not to like? So when Kawhi absolutely destroys a defender that's boring? when Ginobili ices a dagger three that's boring?? when TP drives in on 3 defenders twice his size and scores that's boring???!!! Toronto Raptors/San Antonio Spurs those are my 2 NBA teams first and foremost.

idk they just don't do it for me for some reason, don't get me wrong tho they're great and all. I was even bummed when the heat beat em.
but I could not agree more about that james harden, CP3 I jump into you foul bullshit all game long every game ever. shit is the worst.
maybe I'm just bitter because the spurs stay winning forever. popovich is tight tho.

Shedding a tear right now for the Raptors. Even a 2nd round brutalizing at the hands of the Heat would have helped to provide this franchise with some respectability. Now the reality of being just another mediocre Eastern conference non-contender sets in. They could've really used a decent pick in this years draft, too.
I am simultaneously happy and sad about this amazing first round ending. Only having to keep up with two games a night will be good for my social life, but goddamn this was a good couple weeks of basketball.

Man once George Karl got CotY & still got fired its pretty much a given that aint NOBODY safe. I hate how these front offices treat coaches tho. Jackson is the one who established the culture there and is the reason for their success, not their failures. the reason they didnt advance was because their starting center was injured & they lack depth compared to most of the elite teams. Management definitely fucked up ESPECIALLY since the players were backing him too. granted they keep the same roster, I figure theyll probably more or less play at the same level with a solid coach but still, thats because JACKSON was the one who prepped those young players with the proper mentality in the first place.

Certainly Hibbert is an absolute joke at the moment (shouldnt be too surprised since he is 7'2" and only averages 11 and 7), but the Pacers as a whole look like shit too. Paul George and David West dont look good. Evan Turner was supposed to be this power move and he is a non factor. Vogel doesn't look like he has the team's attention. Just a big mess.
Tracy Mcgrady and Gilbert Arenas mocking Hibbert is laughable. McGrady's legacy is choking in the playoffs and NEVER getting past the first round. And Arenas was always a garbage player. Morons.
-
so now there's even rumors about PG doin roy hibberts girl. probably not true at all but interesting.

There's something screwy going on, Charles Barkley just said something nice about the Trail Blazers.
-
Arenas always a garbage player ? C'mon son.
Hibbert averaged like 4 points and 3 boards against a sub .500 team.... Surprised more washed up pros aren't clowning on him.

I hope the rest of this Spurs/Blazers series is a little closer.

Very true. Their shooting was abysmal and their confidence was clearly rattled.

I guess Gilbert Arenas was garbage in 2005-2006 when he averaged 29.3 points 6.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds on the season. Pretty impressive to make 3 all star-teams as a second round pick while playing like garbage the whole time.
Anyway, it doesn't take 5 finals MVPs to know that Hibbert has been playing like garbage these playoffs. You can't blame it entirely on him though, the dynamic of that team is just awful right now. I wish I could get inside those dudes heads/locker room to figure out what the hell has happened to them since January but in the meantime it's kind of fun to just watch them fuck up.
-
Ha what a joke, Arenas had a few good years on a wizards team that didn't get anywhere and yet everybody comes running to his defense.
I really enjoyed watching McGrady in his prime but I don't care how talented he was, not getting past the first round at least ONCE is pathetic.
I never said you have to be a successful player to understand how bad Hibbert is. What I did say was that the those two guys clowning him publicly in the way they did should probably just shut the fuck up because they have some serious laughable qualities on their NBA career reusme.
Hibbert has always sucked. For some reason he garnered a max contract from being a whopping 12 point 8 rebound guy. People should be clowning the Pacers front office for giving him that contract. People should be calling out Paul George who has been up and down in the playoffs. People should call out Vogel not running a good offense. The list goes on. Hibbert is just an easy target because he is SO bad right now.
-
you cant blame all of the defensive struggles on Vogel. youve come this far know what you know and running what you have. as a coach you are more likely to run your system to the best of its abilities before scrapping everything and trying something new. not exactly a great time to ditch the entire scheme as you enter the second game of the second round. the players have to execute too. the only player that seems to give a shit on that squad is david west.
the one thing i will give vogel a steaming pile for is not experimenting with different line ups during the regular season. the bottom line is that this happens every year in every sport, some team, usually touted as a preseason favorite, comes out hot and takes a shit at the end of season or falls apart in the postseason.
-
hahaha what the fuck... no one is running to Arena's defense, but to say he's been "garbage" his entire career is false. He's always running his mouth VIA twatter. That's nothing new. If Hibbert can't handle a little e-flack then he probably doesn't belong in the NBA.
Hibbert is an easy target because he has been playing like garbage in THESE playoffs. His playoff averages last year was something like 17 points and 9 rebounds. Indiana as a whole is an easy target.
-
gilbert is still cashing those nba checks on the reg.
the pacers only get all this bologna because they're the 1 seed playing like shit and talked all year about the Miami ECF matchup they think will happen.
regardless I think the wizards take game 2. they're playing good basketball lately all around.
OKC takes game 2 at home. the clippers wont shoot lights out again like that.

tracy mcgrady was actually really unlucky with injuries or injuries to key teammates, be it grant hill, yao, whatever. and he actually made it to the finals last year SO NYEHHH

Kind of bummed Washington lost last night that team is really growing on me they're like a band of outcasts other teams didn't want except for Wall and Beal.
Looking forward to Spurs Blazers as much as I'd like San Antonio to get some rest it'd be nice to see the Blazers get that 1 win at home...that fanbase deserves it. Though it's really hard to get up for a game against an elite team when you're down 3-0 I guess they got nothing to lose now. Stiller bitter about that Nets-Raptors series but I just can't bring myself to root for Miami in any way shape or form go Brooklyn...I guess.

Doc Rivers should be pissed at his team for blowing a 13 point lead with under 4 minutes to play in the game that probably decides the series, never mind being pissed about the refs.
I feel his pain because that out of bounds play was horseshit but there should have been a foul on that play and the refs were obviously making up for it, they do it all the time its nothing new.
If you don't want the refs having that much of a bearing on the outcome then don't get in that position in the first place, learn how to close a team out when you have them practically dead with less than 4 minutes left in the game you fucking dipshit.

Miami will not 3peat, OKC/ SA have huge advantages across the board. Durant/Westbrook are not losing another finals, neither are TP/Duncan
okc will get buttrammed by miami. they have no matchup advantages whatsoever
-
Unreal win this series is crazy. Spurs gonna surprise and take game 6 leaving OKC in the dust

what are the odds on the spurs getting a freethrow by halftime? d.crawford doing work

Was that game the most brutal ass-ramming of the playoffs? It seemed like it stopped being competitive about halfway through the second quarter. I remember the clippers blew somebody out badly in one of the earlier rounds but this felt worse.

Didn't hedge at all, I have both NYR and SA to win the finals. No dead money just SU only NY and SA. How lucky is that? Spurs 12/1 and Rangers 16/1. Spurs felt obvious at the time, but NY didn't expect that..
Too long until the finals, lets get this shit underway already... Why can't they play tomorrow?

Lewhore of akron sure put on a show tonight. Man he was straight murdering, Pop is like ok Lebron is going to get his- sorry man U gotta double or triple or anything to get the ball outta his hands. Bosh was amazing too. Spurs had 2 of their best players contemplating retirement last year, Heat are going to pounce and it ain't gonna be pretty
That being said Parker and Ginobili both just fathered children, so I expect this to come back to the alamo 2-2

wade did not play up to his standard. only dudes who played well were shard and bosh.
the heat were straight garbage when lebron went to the bench.
the spurs were 5-10 from 3 and had no turnovers in the 3rd quarter and lebron's 14 point 6/7 from the field 3rd quarter kept the heat in the game.

man i like Fisher & think he'd make a great coach down the line but if I'm a 31 year old carmelo anthony aint no way in hell ima sit thru the waste of next season with a rookie coach just for the POTENTIAL of a good 15-16 season where they mess with the roster. Dude might as well take that pay cut like he said, and come on down to tha Chi & let Thibs put em to work.
-
Scary thing is melo really won't have to take a pay cut next year. Over the next three years the salary cap will go up dramatically so they could easily back load the contract or give him a short deal contract him that expires near the time of the next tv deal when the cap goes up again. Been saying it all season chi town is the melo destination choice...
Unless d rose is really the next Brandon Roy.
As far as the finals are concerned. its really hard to pick a winner. It's like watching mike Tyson fight mike Tyson. Two nearly indentical teams. Not necessarily who they have playing at the positions that they do but in the system they run. I'm fairly sure spo just copy/pasted the entire San Antonio play book then added some of his own wrinkles. Not to mention the depth on both sides of the bench, the effectiveness at three and getting to the basket while providing good looks at shots anywhere else. The ball doesn't stick. What was so painfully excruciating to watch about the thunder is when it came down to a much needed bucket and you get ISO Russ or ISO Durant. That's hardly happened in this series.
Say what you want about lebron but without a doubt, no hesitation, he will be the key reason why the heat win the championship if they do. He hasn't even played his best game of the series yet. Jordan had Scottie but some of those games in 96/97 when mj played like straight horse shit the bulls won not because the role players played above level of expectation but because of Michael's will to not lose. I saw it last night lebron wants it more than all of the city of San Antonio put together in a line for free churros.

Great sign for SA, Miami had no chance tonight every spur chipped in. If Kawhi is putting up 30 you got problems

They also needed to go small and they did, in my opinion starting Diaw and not playing Splitter Duncan at the same time was a huge factor it just liberated the offense more spacing and passing on the perimeter....wasn't expecting them to shoot 90% FG at one point though hahaha
GO SPURS GO!!!!

I didn't really notice that until it was brought up at halftime or whatever and I don't know why that hasn't been done more. I think it's smarter for that because either the big man will draw defender easier and then dish it to someone else to score or vice versa and someone dishes it to the big man. Even if they can stop the big man, they're going to most likely have to foul him and bring him tot he line and that's still an easy couple buckets right there.

The Knicks are a mess so I could see that. Derek Fisher's first task on the job is to basically re recruit Carmelo. Thibodeau alone makes Chicago an attractive team in my opinion.
And 75.8% shooting is absurd.

2 ballhogs and a mental patient, how could that go wrong? Melo wants nothing but to stay in NY it's the greatest city in the world, he will not leave no chance.
-
Game 3 was an anomaly of sorts. The combination of the spurs having the collective best game of their careers in congruent with an inability for Miami to maintain possession of the ball was a recipe for a 20 point blowout. Miami played one hell of a game, the spurts just played well above expectancy. if the spurs decide to stay perimeter they lose the one advantage they had when they played traditional sets: rebounding. i cant imagine that both san anton shoots for 60 percent again while miami fumbles the ball repeatedly. this series isnt over yet.
why would melo not leave? he is in that point in his career where he has made plenty of money for lifetimes and will continue to do so for what could be another 8 years if so he chooses. things have not worked in new york and now he will have to wait another year in the exile of an eastern conference with amar'e's corpse and jr smiths bottle service tab clogging up cap space. if this whole miami story is real and the heat are trying to pursue melo and create a 4 headed monster than good luck to any other suitor. it just seems unreasonable to say, "okay ill punt my 12th season because i have an unlimited amount of these in my career, kick back in NY, go to a few yankee games, and contend for the scoring title while i pray that phil jackson still has some fairy dust left in that souix warrior buffalo ball sack pouch he keeps tied around his waist." then there is the whole derek fisher thing. i got a headache just typing that out.

The Spurs bench at garbage time was still making plays and passing. None of the usual every man for himself to dunk and show off. That bench is so deep and they fully buy into Popovich.
Spolestra was made to look like a middle school coach.

if it wasn't for tony parker's missed free throws in game 2 this would have been a sweep.

Don't give SA the title just yet, Miami is one of the best teams ever and could easily rifle off 3 straight. Game 7 seems more likely than unlikely, given the rigged nature of the league.

That's what I'm sayin it's not over till it's over telling my friends to shut up and stop jinxing if there's any team that can pull off the 3 straight it's Miami
Spurs have to treat game 5 with the same amount of desperation and focus. Mark my words Miami will be in that next gear game 5 and go on some crazy runs Spurs just have to weather the storm keep it close and put em' away in the 4th in classic Spurs form.

im uniting in hatred not for the heat per se, but against lebron's smug face anytime he wins. i respected their defense last year but pops snipped their nuts off this time.
i thought they should've given norris cole, beasley, battier, and greg oden (yeah greg oden) more minutes. play a more midrange game and give up on 3 pointers and maybe not play ray allen like hes a point guard. plus battier would eventually get the bullshit calls like he usually does. they sat him after two fouls and that was the end of it which sucked.
i thought they were going to have some kind of game plan with oden the entire time, but nothing. nada. wouldn't the NBA finals be an okay time to play as hard as possible and give those knees a run for their money? whatever. whats that say about spo? what happened the data king of miami? they shouldn't have let mike miller walk. they need to get him back.
last years series was better because it was so close every game but this year they bludgeoned the heat to death and that was awesome. there were moments where you could see how deflating some of those shots were.

Yes! If I hear one more word/ replay about game 6 last year I'll punch someone. Lets be honest, Miami really misses Mike Miller. They don't have any deadeye shooters outside of Ray, SA has 3-4. Also not sure why Bosh keeps parking behind the line either, him and Wade didn't play like All Stars. I use this word carfully, but that was a discraceful showing from the 2 times champs.
-
It was really weird to see how weak the heat looked this year in comparison to last. Offensive options two and three pretty much disappeared with Wade and Bosh looking mediocre at all times and not really finding any place in the offense. Their team defense was also shockingly bad for stretches, especially in comparison to last season when they seemed able to shut down the Spurs ball movement almost at will. Relying so heavily on Lebron turned out to be a serious problem this year, especially as they didn't have the great three-point shooting around him to take some of the pressure off. That Mike Miller trade is looking like a terrible idea now, although honestly the spurs were just significantly better on both ends of the floor.
After 4 consecutive finals appearances is it already time to blow up the big three? Wade's decline appears to be terminal and without getting rid of one or two big contracts they have almost no hope for improving in the short term. I don't think bringing Carmelo over from NY is going to be the answer either.
-
yeah the heat's biggest strength was their 3 stars overpowering you with talent followed by a supporting cast that drained open shots. Lebron was really the only one who played like that this series, and most everyone else didn't play up to their potential. overall the spurs just had a deeper team & better executed their game plan. It looks like this current Miami team has reached its peak, although i wouldn't be surprised if they all banded back together for that last year & try to avenge themselves the same way the spurs did. i aint gonna lie tho, I've always liked D.Wade (although i can definitely see why some wouldn't) but that image of tiago splitter stuffing his shit on that play in the 3rd is pretty much burned in my mind. when i saw that shit it was like time stopped and I saw his entire career flash before my eyes, lol. all i know is that the offseason just got a whole lot more interesting

Because the photo is nice, just rather would have seen one of the Finals MVP actually dunking if that's what the picture leads one to believe he did on the play featured on the cover of all places, not in an article inside the mag, the fucking cover!
I don't like Birdman at all but I can imagine him getting all kinds of shit from people like he got facialized or posterized or flushed on or whatever they call it when someone dunks on you and he has to be all "But but but he didn't dunk on me, promise! I fouled him and he shot two free throws!"
I mean he's on the cover of Sports Illustrated apparently getting abused by the Finals MVP and nothing happened on that play, if I'm him I'd be salty.
Anyway, fuck the Heat I'm glad they lost and not only lost but got fucking destroyed in every way shape and form by a way better team.
-
can we all collectively stop saying posterized? nobody puts posters on walls anymore.
-
Knicks trade Felton and Chandler to Dallas for Calderon, Larkin, Dalembert, Ellington, and picks 34 and 51. Rockets trade Asik + $1.5 million to the Pelicans for a 1st rounder in 2015.
-
embiid's a sixer !
-
i thought the Lakers would have a shot at Smart, Gordon, Randle or Vonleh, so i'm pretty happy with who they ended up with.
here's the list of the top 14 picks.

Philly won the draft in my eyes. So you take a flyer on embiid hoping that modern medicine overcomes telling injuries that have ended the careers of many. Upside you have Hakeem 2.0; down side Greg oden 2.0. On top of that you won't be very good next year and are a shoe-in for a top 7 pick, you stash away saric and in 2 years you have one of the best young teams in the league. Very promising. Thought chicago made out pretty well too. The clipper pick made me scratch my head. My squad is gaurd heavy and could have really used a big. I might have to watch summer league this year. I really want to see what this exum kid is all about.
-
The real question with this draft is whether Cleveland can continue to defy all logic by being terrible again next year despite having 3 out of the last 4 #1 picks.
Also, will VeganShawn continue his saltiness by blaming this all on Lebron instead of the Cav's incompetent management?
-
with blatt is that even possible? he might not have NBA experience but he wont make shit decisions like mike brown. brown couldn't even get a consistent rotation going. no player played a position with any consistency last year besides tristan tompson. you cant be doing that to a young core thats attempting to learn a "system" or whatever the fuck that was suppose to be. the cavs may have had a dysfunctional locker room but i think mike browns bad coaching made it look even worse than it seemed.
the cavs have a really bright future ahead of them WITHOUT lebron and itll be fun seeing blatt and brad stevens get really good and play each other. and the cavs got tyronn lue so thats a plus.
also vonleh is underrated. with the right development he's going to be amazing. charlotte definitely made a big leap and they're going to keep getting better. i dont see those dudes regressing.
i hope melo makes the right choice, takes a pay cut and gets on the bulls. gotta go the brian anderson route and skip the rebuild.
-
the cavs will still suck. Euro coach? first year? theyll be like a 6 or 7 seed but what does that really get you these days? In two seasons, the sixers will be a better team than the cavs.
-
Cleveland will be good this year! I forgive Lebron....

Agreed Lou Will can flat out score the ball his D is iffy but The Raptors need legit firepower coming off the bench not a guy that will shoot 1-9 on one night and 3-6 the next I have no idea who this guy from Brazil but Masai has yet to have any screws up so i trust his judgement.

Apparently Nogueira is a solid prospect with an insane reach. The fact they were able to get something for Salmons than just outright buying him out is great.

i really want these Melo and LeBron sweepstakes to end soon, but they're obviously going to take their time. most sources are saying Melo is seriously considering New York, L.A. or Chicago.
also, there were a bunch of reports a little while ago that students saw Kobe, Melo and Kevin Love working out at UCLA. the athletic trainer for UCLA confirmed that all 3 were there today.

gonna be a crazy summer with so many talented free agents out there. hope my Lakers can pull off another hat-trick this offseason.
(if they can't acquire any of the superstars they're going for, i'd really love to see Lance Stephenson, Eric Bledsoe, Isaiah Thomas, or Luol Deng in purple in gold).
-
The only reason id want to see lance "will make em dance" Stephenson on the laker roster would be so that way I can watch Kobe physically assault one of his own team mates on the court. Missed a golden opportunity last year with swagy p

You're an idiot if you truly think bosh would make the Rockets worse. He'd start at the 4 over terrence jones who is defensive liability as much as Harden. Albeit he's only been in the NBA for a year, year and a half. Doesn't matter though Bosh got a carlos lee esque contract from Miami,
And James/Irving/Wiggins ? Yikes

the Lakers F.O. is so terrible nowadays. Kobe is more than fucked. next season is going to be brutal to watch.
-
the Pau move is interesting if they also bring in Mirotic as well. Those 2 alongside Taj & Noah would give the Chicago the most depth in the frontcourt across the league. I still feel they need another good SG or SF but I definitely think they did a job addressing their scoring issue despite not getting Melo. McDermott, Mirotic, & Pau should boost their offensive significantly. I feel like karma's on Rose's side and he's gonna come back to his All-star ways. He won't have nearly as much weight to carry on offense with 3 other guys who can create their own shot. McDermott & Mirotic are both young with a lot of potential though, so it should be interesting to see how Thibs can develop them.

Two championships in 4 years for Miami, but yeah, these superstar teams never work ::)

In LeBron's letter he mentions looking forward to playing with Kyrie and fuckin Tristan Thompson and all these guys but never mentions Wiggins. I'm thinking he might already know something about Love. Would've been cool to see Bosh on Houston and Carmelo on Chicago. With Cleveland, San Antonio, and OKC that would've been 5 teams with a legit title chance. Good thing the Lakers 1st round pick they traded to Phoenix is top 5 protected. They're going to need it.

There's a reason Cleveland is only 3/1 to win the finals, previous years Heat were favorites if not small dogs. Spurs would carve this team up even with Love, it takes a long time for a team to perform to their capabilities.

Kyrie's hero-ball tendencies will be kept in check now that he's no longer the only all-star on his team and that will go a long way towards getting the Cav's offense running more smoothly. Everything I've been reading suggests the Cavs don't want to trade Wiggins but the only other way they're getting Love is through some kind of miraculous sign and trade.
I have no idea where Love's landing spot is going to be but surely Minnesota wouldn't risk letting him go for nothing in free agency just for another season of fighting for the 8th seed...would they?

Already got my eye on some Fantasy sleepers
Lance's numbers will go up significantly now that he has a bigger offensive role will it translate into wins who knows?
Olidipo, with Nelson gone he's going to get alot more touches he was already bench worthy in deep leauges last season his number will go up big time this season
Danny Granger, with the huge void to fill with the departure of Lebron and Wade likely playing half a season DG will be chucking those threes
Steven Adams, I have a feeling come October he'll be OKC's new starting C we've seen what he can do in limited minutes, playing starters minutes he'll be racking up a ton of boards and blocks.
Just to name a few, I wouldn't pick these players super high (maybe Lance) but some guys that I have on my radar for sleeper picks

youre tripping dude. big al is still the cornerstone of the hornets offense. olidipo isnt a true pg and is forced to play with the ball in his hands which hinders more than helps. danny granger. lol. you seem to have forgotten that miami signed loul deng. scotty brooks hates starting his best five players and steven adams has to learn how to play without fouling. keep digging.

Whatever happens Minnesota will probably blow it anyways, which this trade would be doing. Every team in the league wants Love they're just waiting for the best deal possible, it's the NBA maybe Love stays for 5 more years.

According to woj Indy won't be having that "fire sale." 5 years 120 mil.
Seriously though what idiot would think that Kevin love would play on another team where he is the best guy on a losing team again.

Oden can only mire at Joakims basketball career. Get that guy out of the league already his best years are behind him, which is pathetic because he's like... 26? Andrew Bynum syndrome, except bynum got paid.
It doesn't bother me if Love goes to cleveland, the East is beyond terrible. I still put Miami in the finals next year, Pat Reilly is god and Miami will always play the system. Its going to be awesome having Bosh as a major piece again, people forget but the guy is a franchise player on any other team.

Lmao what's crazy is that when I first saw reports that he did that a few days ago, the FIRST thing I thought was that he was getting fined for it. Drake actually has a position within the organization (I believe its brand ambassador or some shit) so technically he did violate the anti-tampering rules by trying to recruit him

The #WeTheNorth thing during last year's playoffs, Drake was behind that. The NBA offered to drop the fine if they dropped Drake and they refused. $25k to either the Raptors or Drake is pocket change.

It's still pathetic what Drake did. It's like saying the Raptors can't build from within, and the team isn't good enough. That's your brand ambassador right there, awful.
Toronto was an 8 foot floater away from winning a series vs the highest payrolled team in NBA history. Drake can fuck off

Yeah, so pathetic that he wants one of his friends, and currently one of the best (if not the best) player in the NBA to play for the team he works for.
The Raptors without Durant are good. The Raptors with Durant in addition to who they have puts them over the top no doubt.

You're telling me a guy with no rings and 1 finals appearance is the best player in the NBA? Now I've heard it all

Tracer, you the real MVP.

Minnesota gets Wiggins, Bennett, and Thad Young. They made out like bandits, trading away the worst 4th quarter superstar in the league for all that!!
-
Tracer, you the real MVP.
ant that the truth

I'm still not sold on Wiggins I wanna see a full 82 game season from this kid

Great thing that you work for the timberwolves front office. Oh wait you don't.
-
people hyping up the cavs but on paper they don't seem like they're gonna be a good defensive team to me.
they're gonna make it out of the east but the thunder, spurs, clippers would still give em that work.
-
been saying the same thing myself. they'll be an offensive powerhouse for sure but their defense seems very questionable. Also Cavs fans seem to forget that 2 of their big 3 and the head coach have never played an NBA playoff game in their life, so to think they'll win it all in one go seems pretty farfetched. they'll be a dynasty for sure & i can see them winning a ring or two down the line, but that shit aint happening their first year. Even Miami went 9-8 at first.
Im probably fan-biased but if Rose stays out of injury trouble then you gotta take the Bulls in the east. hell, they were 3rd seed last year w/o Rose and now they have their most stacked roster since Thibs came on board. You gotta assume Miami & Indy go down a couple pegs & the Cavs and Wizards are still younger teams so regardless of how the regular-season goes, the Bulls seem to be the most prepared for playoff basketball in terms of overall depth, versatility, experience, & coaching.
-
Yall talking about Washington and Chicago gtfo they can't score
The real sleeper in the East is ATLANTA. Very athletic well balanced team, lights out from 3, and Horford is back 100%
-

shit even dallas, warriors and houston would too... on the east Chicago is going to be the best defensive team especially with rose being back in the lineup so its not going to be a walk in the park of Cleveland. remember age is a factor and the bench is not as deep.
-
Tip-Off in just under a month!! I'm so excited!!

theres a chance lebron is going to help put in pieces of the heat's trapping defense in cleveland, steal some ideas from here and there mix it up. blatt was never known as a defensive genius just an offensive one, maybe tyron lue can fill in those gaps.
McDermott & Mirotic are killing it and Pau had a pretty sick game last night. If anyone is going to give them problems it's the bulls. Heat will be good just from having McRoberts & Bosh as your 1,2 but I don't see them as title contenders this year.

What are your guy favorites in the east? How about the west? Do you guys think the spurs will make it the finals again?

After seeing the last preseason game in person. Hope Igoudala comes off the bench, he would be the BEST to lead the second team squad.
Barnes needs to start. He can develop more as player. He sucked so bad last year. He was hindered when Iggy took his spot.
Everyone knows what Iggy is about, a Defensive boss. No one knows what Barnes will turn into his career if he does not start this season.

Sucks Mexico City has to see NBA basketball like this. Last season it was a fire hazard, this year 2 unorganized WC teams chucking and hoping to get to the line. NBA is a great sport, and some places don't get to see it. NBA is fast and packed with skill, not trying to draw fouls

If by some miracle JV learned rebound positioning since last game we might even have a chance! I'm pretty worried about the Raps chances against Noah and Gasol off the glass.

And adidas have screwed it up. It's so apparent that the cuts are different, especially if you look at the necks. Does anyone prefer a V-neck (or V-neck that drops down to that horizontal line) to just a straight up crew-neck?
Anyway I'm obviously too old to wear a basketball jersey as clothing but my little nephew's name is Stephen and I wanted to get him one of those Curry Xmas jerseys.

Curry! My god!

Curry! My god!
Rigged, there was no way refs were letting Orlando win the game. Complete whoreshit, typical 4th quarter in Oakland
Wow Curry can shoot 3s, he's also your best player. Superstar PG never win because they do too much, squeaking out a win vs ORLANDO is embarassing. GS should have wiped the floor, yet it comes down to Curry hitting a big shot.. See how that works against good teams.
-
Don't be antagonising. They're 10 straight and Curry is playing at an MVP level (24-8-5 on great efficiency). Also the funnest team to watch play right now too.

Regular season means nothing, lets eee if Bogut and crew are healthy by playoff time. I still dont trust curry and iguodala to win a 7 game series in the West, they'll get bottled up.
Cool thing is Durant and Westbrook are back, I would pick them as title favorites if they didn;t turn the ball over so much. Can't be a winner when consecutive years you lead the league in turnovers, playoff teams will capitalize on that.
Not sold on Memphis or Portland, turnovers and toughness a big leak. San Antonio has the best chance to win this year, they would destroy the Cavaliers or anyone who makes it out the East.
-
Cleveland finally seems to be coming together, 6 wins in row with the big win over Toronto last night sealing it.

Barely beat the spurs B team, Mavs are dead ducks now with Rondo. Jae and Wright are great players helped them to this great record, Rondo can't shoot a jumpshot and they traded away players for that? I'll take Mills or Tony Parker over Rondo anyday, gotta love Cuban no brain philosophy.
Spurs would never take a player that can't shoot, I cringe when Duncan shoots but atleast he's improved his FT. If your opposition knows the ball handler is gonna take a bad shot or pass it off, thats money for playoff teams. I still think Boston made the trade of the year

well yeah of course the trade made sense for boston. but you can't judge the trade based off of one game since it happened. Also the main reason that game was so close was that Dirk wasn't making any of his shots. edit: and the spurs made all of their free throws

Toronto are good, probably better than people think they are. Still, I see Chicago as the team to beat in the East because of their defense and depth. If Jimmy Butler keeps up his current form and Derrick Rose starts playing a little bit more aggressively I think they'll be going to the finals.

Might as well spare him. I was super thirsty to get Melo in chicago but with Jimmy Butler's rise and Pau Gasol averaging 18, 11, & 2.4 (!) blocks a game...all i can say is have fun cashing those checks my nigga, we getting them WINS! Shoutout to my boy Niko Suave' too, Ive been stoked on dude since like 2 years ago I be gettin hyped as hell whenever he comes off the bench.

yeah but chicago always makes it to the playoffs without one of them being healthy and does not seem to be affected by missing those players. Now with gasol gibson in the line up butler playing the best basketball ever. and rose healthy along with chicagos deep bench and tom thibodeau coaching they are a REALLY strong contender out of the east.

Agree about Chicago always finding a way in. But the top of the east is tougher this year, and Rose does not look like the threat he normally is (way too many outside jumpers). Toronto, Washington, or Atlanta could definitely sneak in this year, Bulls aren't the lock many seem to think they are for the east. ATL hasn't lost since Thanksgiving and has the best record in the league vs over .500 teams. And the best 3 point shooter in the NBA. And no star and a super deep bench, will be able to withstand injuries down the stretch. Our D is a little suspect but its not crazy to think they can take the east this year. Celebration will be held at Bell banks.

Rose is just shaking off the rust as expected. Its not even all-star break yet so he isn't even close to being 100% and we shouldn't expect him to be. He's going through a shooting slump right now but its good that he's just out there stringing consecutive games together & showing that he still does have that athleticism to get the rim when need be. plus even on a bad day he's still pretty clutch. He really do think he Steph Curry with the shot but once he gets his timing back down those pull-up 3's & midrange jumpers are gonna be deadly. He's altering his game and picking his spots more which is good. Plus this is still a very different team than when he first got hurt so the chemistry is only gonna get better. Hawk's are impressive but no superstar and suspect D isn't the best formula for grind-it-out playoff wins. they definitely stepped it up this year tho which is good for whoever is gonna buy the franchise and have all 12 thousand rappers out of atlanta playing the Drake/Toronto role.
Where's bentmode at tho? we need his semi-expert league analysis in here.

Amar'e Stoudemire says he's leaving the New York Knicks with a "heavy heart." Now he's looking for an opportunity to join a contender.
The Knicks announced on Monday afternoon that they have waived Stoudemire, who signed a five-year, $99.7 million contract with New York in July 2010.
Pretty interested to see where he goes.

Looks like the Mavs. Pretty good low risk, high upside move on their part. I think he can be pretty solid in limited minutes.

Knick Fan over here. Its true that he had a heavy price tag and was frequently injured, but minus that, he's a fantastic player to have on your team, it seems like he is getting better with age too, imo anyways, at least smarter when it comes to basketball. He is a bit of a ball hog though in the sense if he happens to get the ball, he never passes, so that helps to know if you're defending him

No. GSW need everything to work perfectly, this warrior team hasn't been there before. Curry can dance around and make the highlight reel during the season, it's alot different with Danny Green in your face who can match Curry's shooting.
Warriors are a serious threat to Spurs, but cmon man Spurs are the stone nuts they've been mowing down everyone lately by 20-30 points. Straight rolling to another Finals appearance, I hope it's CLE vs SA that would be amazing.
-
Time to hop off the spurs. Going to the finals three consecutive years is a real thing and taxing on the body. The warriors play hard nose defense and when you look at the match ups pop is going to be hate subbing out of sheer frustraion. Its not like the dubs arent deep as it is. What makes this team even more undeniable is that steve kerr has all these guys bought into each other. They play team basketball on the same robotic level that the spurs do and with home court advantage forget about it.
Dubs in 6.
-
Golden state won like 65% of their games without Bogut this year but you really don't want to lose your primary rim protector/interior defender going into the playoffs.
If they don't win a championship this year they should be kicking themselves. There's no way they're still gonna be 9-10 men deep after this off season (*cough* Draymond *cough* David Lee).
-
You'd think by now people would stop underestimating San Antonio. Every year people start counting the Spurs out, and every year the Spurs prove them wrong. I guarantee no team in the West would be happy matching up to them for 7 in the PO's. 16 consecutive 50 win seasons is phenomenal.
-
I think youre, like, wrong, bro. This year everyone is all aboard the spurs train. Years of denial has finally found a market correction. As I stated above multiple playoff and title runs add extra seasons to your career. Timmy prolly has at minimum 25 years worth of nba miles. You cant always count on boris diaw finally playing himself into shape around this time every year. Shots are going to go flat. TP fades in an out of games. The defense is contingent on Kawhai stopping the point of attack. Not happenin for 48 mins in roughly 24 games.
Ill let you guys hop on the bandwagon but im a little skeptical.

After watching my Bulls take that Game 6 L in the worst way, i still had that silver lining of hope that the Clips would meet the Warriors for the WCF. Why both my teams have to lose like this? How the fuck I pay for league pass during the regular season just to watch my favorite teams get whooped for free on basic cable in the playoffs?

As a LA native i was really hoping for the Clippers to take it, maybe not all the way but at least make it to the Conference finals. I still had hopes today in the last quarter when they brought down to a 8 point difference but i could tell it just wasn't gonna happen. How about the hilarious Chris Paul moment though??!! haha

Houston was up 16 and blew it because Josh smith is a person. Letting Shaun Livingston look good is unacceptable, basically keyed the comeback. All H needed to do was go through Harden, Dwight, and Ariza. Failed and now need to win a game 2 in Oakland? Not gunna happen, Houston will win in 7 if they're lucky

Dellavedova played good D, made it hard for Curry to get comfortable.
Lebron played pretty much as good as usual.
If they kept Mozgov in I think Cavs would have won it sooner.
Warriors went for too many shots they weren't guaranteed to make.
-
Dellavedova was amazing! but I want Curry to win it. they just have to work the match ups to free the shooters though.

Dellavedova is a scumbag, they should ban him from the league the next time he injures someone.

^This. Dellavedova is such a dirty player. Fuck that dude.

I knew it wouldn't be a sweep for the sheer Lebron factor, that being said Cavs might get one more than Golden State will put em' away you also have to realize a team that rely's on shooting 3s that much will have games when the ball is just not falling if they didn't have number one defence they'd be out 2nd round.
Cavs take next game running on pure momentum and energy from the crowd then it's over.
-
Curry had a shit night and the Cavs still only won by 2, obviously not gonna be a walk in the park like people thought before but I still have faith in my Dubs.
-
Biggest upset in NBA history if Cavs win without Love/Kyrie? not likely just wondering...
LeBron's current supporting cast is almost comparable to Iverson's 76ers in 2001 or J Kidd's 2003 Nets... basically just Western Conf fodder.
-

I'll definitely feed into the myth of Lebron like crazy. In best player of all time conversations, dragging a team of nobodies to a championship is always a crowd pleaser.
I still think the warriors are gonna take it though. Both Lebron's current level of production and Golden State's offensive problems seem unsustainable over the course of a series.
-
Delly's discusting face is preventing chicken curry from getting hot. It's crazy the players Lebron can make look good.
Mozgov has been playing his ass off too, GS is walking into a buzzsaw. Cleveland has the best homecourt in the NBA, plus Lebron

So curry shot as badly as he did, and yet if he had just made one more three they would have won the game still... Yeah no way is Cleveland getting that lucky again.
-
Curry another underwhelming game, you know Cleveland will take advantage deep in the Q
-
Curry finally out of slump it seems, looking similar to the Memphis series a couple rounds ago
-
also fuck Jeff Van Gundy worst commentator ever, he stays on Lebron's sack

damn the cavs have a shot to win this series if they win game 4.
lebron playing at an all-time great level so far just for the cavs to squeak by.

The biggest problem with the NBA is the refs are way too much of a factor in deciding games... Sure every sport has a bad call here or there but NBA refs are so swayed by crowds/superstars it's damn near criminal. I pretty much gave up on the sport after the infamous game 6 kings/lakers.
To see that asshole game after game dive for people's knees makes me wanna give postseason MVP to the Hawks guard who dropped an elbow on him.
That being said the warriors have looked really bad the last two games, which I doubt will continuously happen.

seriously... i don't give a rats ass if he was a rugby player in his former profession, the fact that he's done this three times in just the last two series means that there is more to this action than just 'hustling to get the ball'.
Warriors need a Bob Probert to go in there and handle it.

looks like both teams have an idea of what they want do in terms of strategy. I'm honestly thinking this will go to game 7 unless home court advantage plays a big part in how cavs play, which I honestly doubt because they did just fine on game 2. Although at this point, both lebron and delly are looking more and more tired, with good reason too...they are really trying their asses off to win each game.
-
Iguodala has been the most important player in this series for the Warriors.
(http://i.imgur.com/Mk8PBEe.png)
he should have been put in the starting line-up after game 1. his defense on Lebron, unselfish playmaking abilities and overall drive to get to the rim is undeniable.
i'm sorry, the Warriors would be down 1-3 if it wasn't for Iggy.
he's one of my top 5 favorite players in the NBA and i honestly hope Golden State wins just so he can get his 1st ring.
edit: Lebron's stats while being guarded by Iguodala:
Game 1 - 4/14
Game 2 - 3/11
Game 3 - 2/8
Game 4 - 4/14

Euros don't seem to make it as nba stars these days.
I don't know if Lebron should be embarrassed or proud that his peter got exposed? I read some article that a former female Olympian who slept with wilt chamberlain in the 60's or 70's admitted he had a huge shlong. Tall gene = huge thing?

I kinda think the Cavaliers are done. Their main guys look either overwhelmed or exhausted and their bench sure as shit isn't gonna help them win this series. They even expanded their rotation a little bit this game like people were suggesting and it did absolutely nothing for them. Shit, even their line-ups with Lebron aren't good enough offensively to beat Golden State when their shots are falling.
It would be crazy to see LeBron carry this team to a championship, but it looks like the better team is going to win this one.

As much as I'm not a lebron fan he definitely should get mvp finals with the numbers put although (here comes the lebron hate) he the only one on his team keeping them in it I'm not surprised he's putting those numbers up

I think the best case for Iggy is that he got it done at both ends of the court. When he was on the floor, he kept lebron down to 34% shooting and was able to put up big numbers himself. Before he started game 4, momentum was the Cavs', but he swung the series back to the Warriors.

iggy is getting a lot of credit for defense but in reality it very well could have been harrison barnes or dreymond or shaun livingston. People see that iggy scored an above average amount of points, for igoudala, mostly rim running in transition and having probably his best shooting night in his career, while holding lebron james to 30 points a night, granted on a million shots. to claim that he was the best player in the series by the writers who were jammed into one hot and filthy room is salacious and cowardly. the sum of the parts was greater than the whole. If the dubs never go to that small line up you dont put cleaveland on their heels and run them out to death. you dont have 5 on the perimeter and wide open lanes for a player like iggy who needs created space to operate. congrats to the warriors, they really deserved it but this finals mvp is tainted for me.

Regardless, being healthy is also a part of the game.

Jesus christ you are still complaining about this shit??
Is it really that hard for you to admit that a team, who finished with the best record in the NBA (and the 6th best in the HISTORY of the NBA), who was picked to win the title from the very beginning, who were the favorites in every single round of the playoffs including the finals in which they won fairly easily, is a good team??
Pull your head out of Lebron's ass you sound like you work for ESPN.

Warriors got to face every team with injuries last year, not including the spurs(thanks Silver for fixing that playoff rule)
-
There's a little luck involved in every title in every sport. You are fucking delusional if you think that the spurs had a chance against the dubs. Going through a 7 game massacre in round 1 would have depleted them. Little bit of a championship hang over. Nobody wanted it more than the warriors

Dear Basketball,
From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:
I fell in love with you.
A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.
As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.
And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.
I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.
You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.
And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
Love you always,
Kobe

I was actually just going to respond with "maybe" before the 4th but I decided wait until after the game to say anything <3
-
Exposed? Thats laughable. When you trail by 8 most of the game and with 6 minutes left you take your first lead of the game. It wasnt like the jazz ball movement off or on was any great. A lot of iso. Utah was lucky to not get blown out with their hero ball antics. Utah played stiff defense but it seemed like nearly all scoring possesions for the dubs were assisted. I would wager utah played up to the competition and doesnt average 100 points a game this season. Warriors may not lose a game until next year.
-
Yeah, the brooklyn game felt closer.
It sucks that most of the upcoming games games for the Dubs aren't against anyone intense. I wish my Raptors could give them a go, but I'm not very confident.
-
Utah played great, but they were lucky Walton decided to play that god awful Bogut-Speights rotation that gave them 3 easy buckets off turnovers.
I think the Raptors can do it at home, I know DeRozan is gonna try his best drive up the lane a billion times again...
-
I can see the raps getting up for the first half, but the wheels usually fall off right around then.

20-0 that's fucking ridiculous, not that there's parity in the NBA but still. All hail Curry and the Warriors, it's hard to win 1 game in the NBA let alone 20 straight. I hope San Antonio knocks them off, people forget Curry is 1 ankle injury from ending his career. His stamina and leadership is something I've never seen, Utah so close.

Commentators curse? What you talking about? NBA is tough to predict, but much easier than the other major American sports. There's 3-4 really good teams, we all know who will be fighting for the finals and it's 5 months away. If NBA could cut the season a bit we wouldn't see all these ridiculous blowouts. GSW games are sometimes over in the 1st quarter!

Bogut and Barnes being out would have been really bad if it weren't for DeRozan playing like shit tonight.
And what is wrong with Speights?
-
He has a skin tassel on the top of his head. He's really sensitive about it.
-
That was a good game. So close.
When do the Warriors play the Spurs? I feel like that might be the one.
-
January. I have my doubts about that one. Pop doesn't really care about the regular season. He's a gamer and I could see him playing with rotations and playing really vanilla stuff. The next three game streak could be rough. Bk has redemption to play for (on a back to back none the less), Indy isn't the mirror match but run an identical system, boston is also suited for small ball with great defenders one the wing and guys who can get up and down the court. The 4q line up of death wont be nearly as potent.
-

Speights' head nipple is by far the least aesthetically pleasing thing about the warriors.

Spurs fan and I knew they would lose tonight. Still made a game of it but Pop doesn't care about the season, SA scrubs are better than most teams' starters. Lowry looks great right now, he's been on fire. If Ginobili and Parker can stay healthy I don't see how they won't give GSW a run for it.

Off by one. I was so sure that it was going to be Boston. Kind of incredible that the bucks hunkered down going nine deep. The bucks were my league pass team this year. The length alone at every position is what makes them scary and they hadn't really shown it all year on the defensive side of the court.

Bucks are garbage don't let 1 regular season win fool you. 1 game is nothing in the NBA, 24 straight could get you homecourt but there's no guarantees, Curry is 1 ankle sprain from being out for a loooong time.

Derrick Rose is back! Bulls stomped the Thunder it was great to watch
-
A 9 point game is hardly stomping a team, and although Drose had some good minutes I have to say the bulls are looking like Butler's team now. The warriors looked good against the Cavs today, Livingston and Draymond were productive. Hopefully Curry's calf injury doesn't persist much longer. First game I've seen with Kyrie since Game 1 of the finals, scary how good he is even when he's not playing at 100% yet. Long season ahead still anything can happen.
-
Thunder never had a lead, at home, with their full squad...Turnover machines every year with Oklahoma and no team game just pg and Durant.

Derrick Rose is back!
Oh really? You're saying this after a 19 points, 1 assist, 4 turnover performance in a meaningless game a third of the way through the season?

Rose has been one of the worst players this season, everything he did on Xmas is progress. If Rose can play this well every game they're playing Cleveland in the ECF. Spurs just burnt Denver so that's 17-0 at home :o

He's lost that explosiveness that he had where he can just burn to the rim on every other possession, but he's still a quality player. I can't believe people were saying he should go to the D league
-
I would advise anyone still holding out hope for the Derrick Rose comeback to go look at his basketball-reference page. Despite staying pretty healthy, he's playing even worse this year than in last season's "comeback", averaging 14.4 pts and 5 assists on an eFG of 40% (just a tiny bit better than Kobe's). The blurred vision might account for some of his shooting troubles, but not the consistent poor decision making and chemistry issues while he's on the floor.
Derrick Rose minus the explosiveness is essentially a back-up quality point guard in the NBA. Or maybe a starter on a team looking for lottery picks.

As a Bulls fan, I can tell you that, yes, he's struggled most of the year. However, this last week or so he's starting to get much better. He actually hasn't really lost THAT much explosion though, the problem was that since his injuries he's generally stopped driving to the basket as much(as evident in the amount of 3's he attempted last season.) The blurred vision/mask played a huge role in this, but, right when he ditched it he started getting into the paint more and more; even if his shot doesn't drop it's still huge because the bigs could clean it up or he could kick it out to the shooters. His last three games he's been really aggressive (19, 25, 20 pts) and his floater game has been on point -- that's what was killing him most of the season, all of his layups/floaters seemed to be halfway down and then rim out. He didn't play tonight against Indy, but, it might of been a good thing since Jimmy Butler finally got out of his funk and started making some shots again. They don't play until Friday so hopefully he can comeback and continue to build on his recent success.
He can still go end to end with the best of em as evident in the clip here where be rejects Lowry..
Derrick Rose Full Highlights 2015.12.28 vs Raptors - 20 Pts, It's That MVP Haircut! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ewCDmCt0lA#)

Definitely get what you're saying ^ Really hope the injury part of DRose's career is over really want to see him reach his full potential as a player maybe even surpass his MVP season one day.
what do you guys think about the Bulls potentially trading Taj Gibson, Joakim Noah or Pau?

He'll never be MVP again, however, the Bulls don't need him to be either. That MVP year was overshadowed by the fact that in the ECF against LeBron/Wade/Bosh Rose had to go 1 on 5 because his running mate at SG was Keith Bogans. Now that he has Jimmy alongside him they just need them to both get 20 PPG.
As to your question about who to dump. The rumors are that it's either Taj or Pau - - Personally I'd dump Pau because Taj/Noah can still anchor the defense, also Noah looks completely healthy this season a year removed from knee surgery. Pau kills the Bulls in pick n roll situations because he's constantly backing up rather than attacking the guy coming off the screen (Stacy King has pointed this out many a time during Bulls broadcasts). Also, according to reports (take it with a grain of salt) Pau doesn't exactly gel with Jimmy Butler (although to be fair to Pau, Jimmy has done a lot of talking this year and it kinda got him in trouble this past week.) Also Pau is expected to opt out after this season ends. He is in a way expendable though with the emergence of Bobby Portis who is literally getting better game by game.

Yea, I'm aware of the Doug's nickname, but, if you'd watch a local Bulls broadcast you would realize that Stacy King coined the phrase "Jimmy G. Buckets...the G stands for GETS." And as for your comment about playing time the reason Doug hasn't played much the last three games is because he injured his right knee. He has actually been a pretty valuable contributor off the bench this year.

I was at the Toronto vs. Chicago game. Silver lining in seeing your team fall late was watching a performance like that live. I think I jinxed it by nudging my gf and mentioning how quiet Jimmy had been. Pau was a joy to watch too.

Was at the nuggets/warriors game last night. Definitely surprised they held out to win even with curry's ridiculous 4th quarter. They definitely didn't look too good early on, especially without draymond green.
I hope the young nuggets players grow a lot this season because they're all pretty good just inconsistent. The west is so hard though, even if they are better next year it's still not guaranteed to get the 8th seed.

Saw that game too, Nurkic is another really good young player. Quick question... What is up with the crowd? They were dead silent almost the entire game.. Denver used to be one of the best fanbases, and the champs come in and they don't go apeshit?? CSN broadcasters kept mentioning it, guess the fans prefer a faster pace? Faried is much more effective when they're running

Yeah, gimpy ankle. Sucks the game went to OT because we have the Mavs tomorrow on the bright side Rose is said to be back as well as Pau. Butler won't have to do ALL the heavy lifting then. I really hope that Derrick and Jimmy can continue to mesh like they have lately; when they're both aggressive it puts so much pressure on the other teams defense and opens up everything for everyone else, they could be such a scary backcourt.

The sixers are the team to boost your stats, calm down it's not like Jimmy is proud of this. This is a sixers ownership that literally tries to lose, and the Bulls can't blow them out.. embarassing!!!
The lakers publicly said this is kobes year and that takes reign over developing their young rookies. Man some teams in this league are just pathetic!

Cavs almost lost to Minnesota.. Towns is going to be a serious player. Cleveland is going nowhere they probably wish they kept Wiggins now... Love sucks he's a slug

Crazy game in OKC tonight.
Dubs played like shit the first half but sent it in to overtime and got the win off a Curry last second 3 from 32 ft out. Curry tied the record for most 3s in game with 12 tonight, he also broke his 3s in a season record tonight, Honestly thought the thunder had this one won with KD going off the whole game, luckily he fouled out in OT.

We lacked team direction (clear cut leader Lowry) and had nobody to defend the perimeter and played sub par defence.
All of those holes have been filled keep in mind I'm not saying this will happen this what I think (bottom line we're 2.5 games behind Cleveland for top of the East) will happen you can think whatever you want Tracer (Boston is actually legit) we'll see what happens come April

I haven't been watching the game but I thought this got bumped cause they lost. Glad I was wrong.

Warriors just tied Bulls record for 72 wins.
Philly's 10-70 record is much more impressive
Winning reg season is impressive, but 3 years of rebuilding amounting in 10 wins is just phenomenal.. That's tougher to do imo
-
damn it's official 73 wins, amazing season! bring on the playoffs.
-
Yes, bring on the playoffs please God. All this Kobe and golden state dick riding is so annoying. The 82 game season is a sporting travesty, but owners won't have it any other way.

What a crazy night. On top of everything else Curry made over 400 3s this year. Nobody's ever made 300 in a season before.

Curry is also the only player in history with the green light to shoot anytime/ anywhere. Guys career highlights will look like a wnba player, strictly threes and layups.... I hate the direction the league is going it's so pathetic. You can't even touch a player without a whistle...how can you stop them?
3 point line is killing pro basketball, Cousins is the best centre in the NBA and noone even needs him. The only toughness you see if from Westbrook and demarcus, and they're totally useless in today's game

I know your thing is to sound like an ill informed dipshit but really just Threes and layups? What else is there to do offensively as a PG besides shooting mid range jumpers?

Sure, but don't do stupid dances when you hit a wide open 3.. Curry is a top douchebag and his highlights resemble that of a WNBA player, no dunks.... no blocks... no defense etc etc.
I'm ashamed of NBA teams for not targeting his ankles atleast once this season. Eliminate the threat, especially when he's shaking his ass infront of your bench. You see more grit and intensity in Champions League Soccer.
-
^What are you talking about? Curry lead the league in steals this season, I wouldn't question his defense. Plus his ability to shoot the long ball really opens up the floor for play making. You must have missed a lot of his amazing passes. It's amazing to see so many people belittle Golden State's accomplishment rather than sit back and watch some amazing basketball.
-
^What are you talking about? Curry lead the league in steals this season, I wouldn't question his defense.
To be fair, steals are not really a good indicator of defensive effectiveness. But I wholeheartedly agree with the rest of your comment. People need to accept that GS really is this amazing and Steph has everything to do with it. Shooting 3's and layups does not equate to the WNBA. When watching Steph you can see skill and athleticism oozing from his play. Dude is amazing. And since when is next level accuracy a bad thing in basketball?

I never said Curry wasn't a great player, just hate his attitude on and off the court. Here's another talented PG dunking on Westbrook and Ibaka... NBA didn't upload the video ::) ::), Curry can't jump, deal with it.

spurs sweep the Grizzlies
Dubs up 3-1 hoping they close it out Wed in Oakland
Steph went down on a wet spot and did an awkward split, hoping its nothing serious. Really lame Houston fans were cheering the fact he suffered an injury. Probably my least favorite fan base in the league.

Curry is out 2 weeks. As a spurs fan I let out a celebratory fist bump

Spurs first to sweep and already buying a week and a half worth of rest.
Curry out for 2 weeks
The writing is already on the wall... GO SPURS GO

Warriors need to close it out Wednesday, Klay is more than capable at leading an offensive example and igniting huge scoring runs . Also Really hoping the Blazers to prolong the series against the Clippers just to buy more time. It's looking fucked but it ain't over just yet.

i like curry because he can write a good story. it wouldn't be enough to win 73 games and cake walk through the postseason. instead he's gonna re-enter the second series game 4, trailing 3-0, and he's gonna show us what's really good. gotta love a showman.

I hate to say it but he probably will be out more than two weeks. Hope he doesn't try and come back early and reinjure himself. MCL sprains are not to be fucked with.
Goddamnit I hate injuries in the playoffs.

So...speaking of injuries...CP3 is probably done for the rest of the post season
Broke his 3rd Metacarpal.
Blake's quad is also bummy, and Reddick has a heel bruise.
Looking like Warriors vs Blazers next round.

Duncan played his ass off every second he ever played, it's obvious he can't keep up anymore with the new NBA. He won't do the Kobe thing his ego isn't fit for it, always team first nothing else mattered.
OKC is dangerous, the real NBA finals is the WCF.. We all know Cleveland Ohio and Kevin Love don't win the Championship

Bummed the Spurs are out but I don't mind OKC at all. Rooting for them now, I think they can do it.

The end of that game and some of Pops quotes couldn't get anymore SPURS-like it's crystal clear LMA and Kawhi need a bit more experience closing out games. I also think they could've used bit more D-West but hey Westbrook vs Curry for at least 4 games is a win to me.
Not counting LBJ and co out (I've seen crazier things happen)
-
Diaw didn't even play... Popovich really fucked his team this year Simmons has game also. Ginobili and Diaw had to be in peak form to beat OKC.
Credit to thunder though, Adams and Kanter played really well. No idea what happens next for SA, apparently Conley is a major target to replace the aging TP.. Totally backing that

I think Bo Bo has been injured Simmons? I have no idea why they didnt use him he's perfect to match OKC's quickness

The playoffs have been pretty bad aside from this HEAT/RAPS series and Portland. Miami looked like they didn't care to be swept by Cleveland, and took their vacation early. Dragic used to be a beast and now he's so mediocre, JJ was terrible too.. Laziness is infectious with that team, if Whiteside played who knows?
Easily biggest W in Raptors history, good for them. They made it to the final 4 which is huge for the city.

Most likely but you never know the Raptors are a young hungry team and they did beat Cleveland 2 out 3 times this season, but it'll take an extreme effort to derail LBJ and the Cavs current playoff run, I'm saying Cavs in 5

Warriors got run out of the building, 117 points by OKC through 3 quarters, that is ridiculous. I'm sure game 4 will be a much tighter affair, no way the Dubs get the doors blown off twice in a row.
The Draymond thing, it should be an easy 1 game suspesion, especially coming right after Jones got suspended for his hit on Bismack in the Cavs/Raps series. But I really doubt he gets sat down for game 4. NBA will take some backlash, but they don't care. Best part is Kerr going so far the other way saying the NBA should actually rescind the Flagrant 1. I'm all for backing your players, but that is a straight up joke.
-
That happens every night!! Haha draymond is the man but he's way too hardheaded
-
This was my fear from the get go with OKC when they beat the Spurs. I knew they'd match up better with the Warriors. Last nights game was pretty shocking to me. Just shows that OKC can hang with the best of them. I figured they'd win a game at home but thought it'd be the 2nd game. If Warriors lose the next one, that will be really hard to bounce back.

Glad Draymond isn't suspended but I'm not gonna lie, intentional or not kicking someone's jewels is a bad look, you better believe OKC is gonna try get him to commit another flagrant so he misses a game. More nervous than I expected to be about this series but still optimistic. Go Dubs.

3 in a row sounds a looks seriously daunting at this point, but they just have to lock in and get game 5. That would put a lot of pressure on OCK to close out in game 6 because they want nothing to do with a winner take all back in Oakland.
That being said, FUCK DRAYMOND GREEN.

Definitely, OKC pretty much has to win game 6. But if game 5 was any indication, it's gonna be rough for the Warriors back at chesapeake arena. OKC had a ton of fight last night, I was impressed with their showing and a couple of baskets go in they might have closed out. Good for the Dubs for forcing game 6, but I think they need a much better effort to win.

I honestly think the playoffs and the Warriors did enough for the league where even a sweep is fine at this point. The NBA and all sports media outlets will just focus on the fact that the Warriors had the best record in the NBA and now it's warranted by a finals win.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyo7g5uKbLw

I'm just thankful the talks of trading Klay to Minnesota for Love never went anywhere.
-
So the league suspended Draymond for game 5 for his scuffle with LBJ. Pretty weak, hoping if they do close it out they let draymond partake in the celebration.
-
I mean, just quit touching other dude's dicks Dray...
-
I wholeheartedly agree with the suspension. There's only so many times you can blatantly go for the nutshot and not get burned. He already avoided getting thrown out of Game 4 against OKC on star power alone. Letting him off again would have been embarrassing for the NBA and their "transparent officiating" program. Still love Draymond though.
-
I think it's lame that the NBA reviewed this and suspended Draymond, yet, Delladova was fucking headhunting last postseason without a slap on the wrist. Oh' well, I still think that the Warriors will take it Monday.

Green didn't do anything to get tossed immediately, so let it go its the playoffs!
-
yeah the playoff flagrant points system is some middle school bullshit rule. Its the damn playoffs, of course people foul more/play harder.
They totally just want to give Lebron a chance to be the first team to come back from down 3-1 in the finals. Its ok though because it won't happen.
-
it's like they regretted not suspending him for the kick so much they pulled this bullshit. i still think they're gonna close it out tomorrow
-
Two possibly flagrant fouls ruled common fouls (arm to the face) tonight. Several uncalled elbows to the face on offense. Dubs played like shit and I'm not surprised they lost, but that was awful all around.
-
Uncle Drew just could not be stopped last night some of those shots were just down right heroic hopefully this goes to 7 games and no more blowouts

So happy Cavs keeping it alive.

Not complaining about the refs i was actually pretty content with the officiating in game 5, i was regarding the fact Draymond was suspended. I'm just salty tho :'(

That was tough to sit through, Game 7 Sunday. Never expected to say that this series. Go Dubs

Also Lebron has played absolutely insane these last few games. I don't think there are many arguments that he isn't the best player in the league right now.

GS needs to be reminded of "Live by the 3, die by the 3."

Sure will be ^ and my god that first quarter was nauseating the fact the were still somewhat in it after that has to be seen as some kind of silver lining,
That's how I see it... despite Lebron playing like an absolute monster, they were completely in that game in the 3rd and beginning of the 4th. Same thing happened in game 5. No matter how shitty they are playing they can be back in it with a few 3's (or God forbid... make a couple of 2 point shots).
Last night they looked like they wanted to be back in bed at the hotel. No fire or energy whatsoever, they looked pitiful.
Still, pretty damn good finals.

If the Warriors blow it at home in a game 7 this will go down as the most memorable choke job in recent sports history. I'm stilling putting my (figurative) money on Golden State, but then again, I thought they would take it in 5 and be drinking champagne by now.
Shout out to LeBron for somehow having an even better finals than he did last year.

What are you talking about? EVERYBODY is giving the Cavs and Lebron credit... the only person who's blaming the refs/NBA at this point is Ayesha Curry. It would be considered a choke job because the Dubs were easily up 3-1, and to lose it at this point would be a Patriots-esque let down They were the best team in the NBA this year and were a huge favorite to win the title.
Why does everybody enjoy bashing Warrior fans? You guys act like any of you gave a shit about the Cavs pre-Lebron.
postscript: I do believe the NBA is rigged.. but I've thought so for years. It caters to it's biggest stars, which is why everyone is after Lebron... I came to this realization back when the Kobe/Shaq Lakers were taking on the Sac. Kings in the semi-finals. Years later one of the refs ADMITTED it was rigged. Just came across this short article too:
http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/06/17/david-price-thinks-the-nba-finals-are-rigged/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs&yptr=yahoo (http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/06/17/david-price-thinks-the-nba-finals-are-rigged/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs&yptr=yahoo)
"Part of why it was fun is that . . . it’s not the first time someone has claimed that the NBA playoffs were rigged. As a big NBA fan in the 1980s and 1990s, I recall so many of my friends and, occasionally, radio hosts and such making some arguments that all the big series went to 6 or 7 games in order to increase revenue. There was never a solid basis for anyone saying that, but given how impactful any one or five officials’ calls can be in basketball as opposed to other sports — and given that, yeah, evidence later surfaced that some NBA officiating was in fact crooked — you were never going to shut those voices up."
-
If the nba is fixed then you have to accept that the warriors-okc series was rigged. So you have nothing to complain about.
-
also people hate on warriors fans because all they do is complain about the refs while their teams gameplan is literally to set illegal screens. get over it, your team has been beaten fair and square the last two.
-
damn what a choke. No fix or officials to blame for that one... they had about 10 chances to pull away the last two minutes and they blew it every time.
Props to the Cavs, they played those last 3 games with fire.

That's what I've been saying all year, the sixers losing streak is more impressive than GSW's winning streak. It's very difficult to be that bad in a cap league, but Philly keep doing it. Trust the process, trust the process... You can sign some players too and give the fans something to see....?? Philly is a huge market and they keep blowing it, die hard fans should just abandon the team... They aren't far off from beating Chicago in a playoff series
-
Last 3 games, LeBron just went berzerk. So happy for him, GSW were just collateral damage. Leading every player in all major stats (Pts, Rebs, Asts, Steals, Blks), it is just ridiculous what he did. You could tell he was gassed coming down the stretch though, Kyrie came through with the shot of the season. Amazing playoffs, even better finish.

That OKC-Orlando trade... holy shit. Robbery on OKC's part with that one.
for real. even just oladipo straight up wouldve been borderline robbery.
just watched this : Domantas Sabonis 2016 NBA Draft Scouting Video - Strengths (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzMGFCgMdNI#)
-
Orlando gave Oladipo plenty of chances to prove himself, he failed... Why pay VO close to max for such little production? Good riddance, they get a monster shot blocker who can shoot, don't see how they got robbed whatsoever?
-
They already had an oladipo, his name is dion waiters.
Thon maker at 10 tho. Wow.
-
Ya that OKC/Orlando trade was confusing. I know Ibaka's production had been declining over the last couple years but I still think he was the best player in that trade. I heard there were some rumblings that he was going to leave in free agency anyway so they wanted to get something for him, but was that really the best deal they could find? Losing your best shot blocker/interior defender for some future scrubs and another Dion Waiters doesn't seem to help them very much.
Also, that Derrick Rose trade. For the Knicks fans, here's a comparison between Rose's and Calderon's numbers:
2015-16 MP USG% TS% AST PER 100 POSS. DRPM ON/OFF NET
Rose 2097 27.0 47.9 19.3 -3.14 -5.1
Calderon 2024 12.6 57.1 34.6 -0.4 +1.6
Edit: NVM, I thought it was Ibaka for Oladipo + 2nd round picks, not Ibaka for Oladipo, Ilyasova and the rights to Sabonis. Not a terrible deal under the circumstances, but won't help OKC in the short term.

Rose played 20 games with double vision. Not that there's much of a chance it pans out, but the stats are slightly skewed, and I'd still way rather have him starting than old man calderon
-
with the emergence of steven adams, and OKC's overall productivity with Durant at the 4 trading a declining player who is a free agent in a year for a promising rookie, bench depth, and a lockdown guy you can throw at curry/thompson is a freaking steal on OKC's part. It's also a proactive way to entice Durant to stay. Ibaka just doesn't fit anymore, he's being pulled from the basket in today's NBA, which is why his block average has fallen off a cliff, he simply can't play in a series against the warriors, and steven adams is just a better player. OKC is the best team in the league when Durant is playing the 4. period.

True. The lack of fit with Ibaka became pretty obvious this past season, and on the basis of his performance in this year's playoffs, Steven Adams is probably OKC's best interior defender at this point. It'll be interesting to see if they can sell Durant on playing extensive minutes at power forward though, especially in the regular season. Their "small" lineups with KD at the 4 looked ridiculously deadly in that series against Golden State, but I don't remember seeing him there too much during the year.

I am still waiting for the Warriors to just close it out. I've seen them blow a 3-0 lead before.
Hopefully Celtics still have a lot of energy left in them since they are playing a rested Cavs team. Give them hell Boston!
-
Aldridge has been a complete failure he just drifts out there, slow getting back, can't jump, jokes with the opposition. It's really annoying there's no way any spurs team should get blown out Leonard or not. It's basically just JSim playing for a new contract. Mills cannot start vs the class of the league either but it's good experience going into next year.
It's not over, we know the NBA refs heavily favor the home team and we got 2 home games coming up. Even if Kawhi is a shell of himself they won't lose both.
-
Chances of the Cavs and Dubs each going 12-0 into the Finals?
-
Lebron was just toying with the Celtics last night, no one on that team stands a chance at slowing him down.
-
If you were building a team, how many Cavaliers would you take before Isiah? 4-5? He's a mediocre player at best
-

I know I would take Isiah over Kyrie. That doesn't mean I think he's better than him but he basically got the Celtics where they are now. Also I feel like Lonzo is gonna be a bust, even if he isn't I still wouldn't draft him. Not worth dealing with that whole family as kooks
-
Kyrie Irving can drop in, so I'd pick him so we could skate together

I was going to say at least Isaiah is younger but forgot Kyrie is super young still.

Chances are good now without kawhi and IT for the rest of series.
-
YOOOOOO THAT BOUNCE IN THO
-
Didnt think the Celtics had a chance to win even one game especially with IT out for the remainder of the playoffs, props to them for fighting and getting a game.
-
Celtics better pray for another bad performance by Lebron. That really is the only way for them to win imo.
-
this playoffs is over to me. If the cavs can't sweep boston without isaiah thomas they aren't gonna do anything vs the warriors. maybe steal a game

3rd Straight finals for the Dubs,
Also if this is Manu's last game mad respect for everything he's accomplished in his long career, he was playing his heart out tonight.
-
It's honestly unreal State blew through the West like that. 12-0 into the Final :D
Ginobili might be done

Definitely would have been different if not for Game 1. I think San Antonio could have take at least a game or two. What a difference a player makes really.
-
So we get Cavs vs. Warriors for the third year in a row...
anyone want to bet we get it for a fourth?
-
I'm so stoked to see this go down, should be a classic.

full week off and 3 days in between finals games... what's the point resting players again?

Cleveland in 6.

Go DUBS!
-
KD absolutely dominated that whole game, long way to go tho Lebron isn't gonna go down that easy
-
What in the fuck was going on in the 1Q? Zaza had a few wide open dunks and passed out. It was bizarre I expected rust but this was just fishy. State rolled no surprise, KD on a heater is unstoppable.
-
I still don't like the fact that players like Klay and Green didn't put up numbers. I swear when Klay is cold....dude can't make a thing. Still, game 1 was pretty much what I expected. A close game with the Warriors taking over in the later quarters.
-
Yeah Klay couldn't buy a shot yesterday but he was locked in defensively at least, hopefully he finds his shooting stroke again soon
-
I think Cleveland is gonna get swept, maybe win one home game. Kevin Durant is just on a fucking mission. Also, shout out to Steph for scoring 15 points in the first quarter and having 10 of those points as foul shots, dude knows how to bait people
-
You really think the league would let their poster boy get swept by the "villains" of the NBA? Naw this gonna go at least 6 games
-
Cavs been getting rope-a-doped. Close until about half way through the third, when they completely run out of gas. Lebron had a triple double by the third, and then pretty much nothing, which is when the Warriors pulled away again.
-
Cleveland is going to come back and win. It's like a mirror image of last year. State won't keep getting every call.
-
Thats exactly what I wanted to hear from you tracer thank you! Feeling good about GSW's chances to close it out now.
-
Thanks Tracer. GSW sweep confirmed.
-
Cleveland in 6.
this isn't looking so hot now...
-
The cavs will bounce back. I think dubs in 6 still, but it'll be a series.
-
I'm fucking shook. KD has ice in his veins.
-
Best team in the history of sports. 65 before half every game, home and away. Some NBA teams don't hit 70 in a full game!
-
Thanks Tracer. GSW sweep confirmed.
Haha.
I am Warriors fan and I am sort of in disbelief on how they came back yesterday. To think they might be undefeated after all this in the post season. That is insane.
Warriors win tomorrow, that parade on Monday (assuming) is going to be packed.

Another track meet. Never thought I'd see the day where a player scores 40 and no one cares, at all.

That was a once in a lifetime game for the cavs. Steph and Klay are gonna step up at home.

22 1st Quarter free throws definitely didn't hurt either, but yeah Cleveland was absolutely lights out from deep

Dear Lord....
Super happy for KD he totally deserves it. One of the few players that will do anything to win.
Cleveland could have helped their chances by making GS play defense like SA. They can't pass like that, Spurs pass up good shots just to tire you out. Credit the Cavs too they played their asses off.

Anyone see KD rocking an Alltimers shirt leaving The Oracle last night? So sick.

Lakers trading Russell and Mosgov to Brooklyn making it seem like they're making room for Lonzo and PG13

And Lopez's deal expires next year, which makes sense if you look at rumors of LeBron to LA next year. I'm not sure if Magic is an idiot or not yet, can see him making some dumb-ass moves.

Shout out to Westbrook on his MVP award, and to Draymond for his DPOY. CP3 just got traded to Houston for a few players. Intetested to see how Harden and Paul are gonna mesh together seeing how they're both pretty ball dominant. RIP to the Clippers
-
Westbrook getting MVP is a joke and so was his sad little speech. When your team game plans for triple doubles it doesn't count. OKC didn't even win 50 games. You're telling me you would take Russ on your team over Kawhi, Lebron, or KD? Please! KD left because Russ is a ball hogging chuck, hero ball doesn't win.
I was praying SA could get CP3, and now our biggest rival gets him. CP3 starting with Tony/Mills off the bench could take down the Warriors.

Seriously, how fucking bad was Boston's offer that the Pacers opted for Oladipo and Sabonis instead? Fucking mind boggling. I don't know if this affects Hayward's decision making at all but if I was an NBA free agent I might think twice about Boston now since it kinda looks like they're just stock-piling draft picks for a post-Lebron future rather than trying to win now.

Kyrie is going to Boston and Isaiah is going to Cleveland. So dude left and now is probably gonna lose to LeBron in the conference finals (even they even make it there) and Isaiah gets to go to his first Finals.

Jaiden, though, he?s my little guy, maybe a little more sensitive ? and he loves Boston more than anyone. So I knew the news was potentially going to be more hurtful for him. And just looking at his reaction, when he heard, I could tell I was right. He seemed kind of heartbroken.
I said, ?Jaiden, are you happy or are you sad??
?Sad.?
?Why??
And he said, ?Because Cleveland probably doesn?t have skate parks.?
He?s big on skating and stuff. So he was definitely upset with that. (Cleveland, if y?all got skate parks, @ me on Twitter.)

Yeah that was gnarly. Don't wanna see it again.
I hope he heals up fast/good. Gnarly break

Well, Lonzo is no Lebron for his rookie debut. I am sure he's going to get better. OKC looking tough too but this is against the Knicks. Westbrook with another god damn triple double. Going to be a fun season for the top teams.

Beverly locked him up from the jump, welcome to the big league Zo
What a warm welcome to the league, hahah. Patrick Beverly and John Wall are my favorite PG's in the league, for way different reasons.
Speaking of Wall, I've been a Pistons fan since I was a kid (late 80's/early 90's Bad Boy era)... The last 10 years have been especially brutal. A lot of friends who hung with them through most of it have turned into Cav's or Warriors fans, fucking kooks. Anyway, I was super psyched to see how much fight they brought against the Wiz last night, whom I consider to be easily the 3rd best team in the East right now. We won 3 quarters and weathered a savvy, veteran-like comeback in the 3rd, and despite resenting Reggie Jackson ALL last season for shaking up their decent start, he really stepped up along with Avery Bradley to damn near comeback. I hope they can keep up their intensity. Outside of the Cav's, C's, Wizards, and Bucks, the East is wide open (see: bad as always) this year.

Why do the refs hate sixers fans? Sure we chant "refs you suck" so loud I can clearly hear it from my tv at home. Don't take it so personal assholes
-
I hope Wall gives it to Lonzo tonight.

My sixers got our revenge on the Rockets. When Simmons and Embiid are both on the floor they are a threat to any team.
Also Lonzo is just getting way too much hate but the Lakers did fuck up big time by getting rid of D'Angelo Russell. Lonzo is a decent player but he wasn't lottery pick worthy. His dad basically got him where he is today without Lonzo not really doing anything. Like i said though hes a decent player but he was just way too hyped up and the Lakers fell for it
-
^^^^^^I am sure the attention to the Laker team and organization is still nice. I even find myself wanting to see Lonzo play just to see if he is having a bad game. I still do believe he will be a better player since he's so young but I also think he's no phenom either. And him being this phenom wouldn't have been a big deal if it wasn't for his dad.

He will definitely grow and become better after every game. Just didn't make sense when Magic got rid of Russell because "he wasn't a leader" then picks up Lonzo

It's five games in to the season which is way too early to deduce whether a high first round pick is a bust or not. I'm not a Lakers fan but Lonzo seems to have good court vision and pace. Perhaps if he had some shooting on the floor with him he'd be clocking more assists. Can't stand his shooting form though.
-
As much as I like seeing the Lakers lose, I agree with it being too early for the bust title. Jason Kidd had a pretty inconsistent jumper his first few years if I remember ? That’s who he reminds me of the most.
-
Lonzo clearly has good point guard skills, and he's a good rebounder, but unless he improves his shot he'll probably have a career like Ricky Rubio or a latter-day Rajon Rondo. Not a lot of room in the NBA these days for point guards who can't shoot.
-

Kidd had hustle and aggression. He looked like he gave a fuck. Zo has no emotion or expression and is way too passive. He has little to no real effective on the game.

I wasn’t really referring to their emotions or expressions. I meant in terms of their on court comparison and skill. Of course Kidd is by far the superior player, especially since we’ve seen a bigger sample size since i made that post. My point is how we label the “bust” title so easily. It’s clear i was wrong, because his jumper is a lot worse than i thought. Again I’m no fan.
And that Philly trade is a head scratcher... on paper, Jahlil Okafor, Nik stauskas and a 2nd rounder would warrant a bigger haul. Maybe Philly wanted Okafor out that bad ?

He played two games this season, one of which he played just 3 minutes. There's very little value in a player that never plays for your team. The results of the trade are on them.

Did you not see him play last year? He was on a team with no Ben Simmons, no Joel Embiid (for the most part) and no Redick and we came close to making the playoffs. Don't just jump on the hate train.

A 28-54 record isn't "close to making the playoffs".
Colangelo is a terrible GM, they should MCW'd Okafor after a year and got back a decent return. Hinkie would be shaking his head this shit.

Ha, got a point there. His stats weren't all there but he had some solid years during his career. Kind of cool he won a ring but bummed on other legends who never got one, Elgin Baylor, Stockton, Karl Malone, Nash, just to name a few. Crazy we live in a world where Adam Morrison has two when AI has none.

Okafor plays the same position as Embiid, and is way worse at both ends of the floor. He also fancies himself a starter, so wasnt't be happy with coming off the bench, and even if he was, wouldn't really help address any of their bench's weaknesses. They had literally no reason to play him with Embiid healthy. Other GMs will see that the utility of the player to your franchise is low, and will adjust their offers accordingly. Sometimes it's just best to move on even if the deal isn't an equal exchange as far as talent.

True. I would have kept him though since Embiid can't play back to back games. Hopefully he gets his shine at Brooklyn

also, we only came close to making the playoffs last season because of the january push, led by embiid, featuring almost no okafor at all

Durant shot 10-29 and was bricking all night until the 4th, so let's be real here. He made all the clutch shots and won the game, no denying that though.
Trashcon, the majority of posters in this thread HATE the Lakers btw. I've been a fan for over 20 years and know our bandwagon/casual fans are a big reason why we get so much hate, but it is what it is at this point.
Lonzo's shot is a pretty big concern for me tbh, so I hope he can figure it out or alter it if need be. Love everything else he brings to the court though (passing, rebounding, defense, bball iq/decision making, court vision, etc.)
I got to see the Lakers/Sixers game at Staples last month. What a fun night. I really like the directions both organizations are heading in and I hope a genuine rivalry develops between the 2.
(Tobey, I agree with PAWL and weedpop's breakdown of the Okafor situation, but I think the Sixers could've gotten a better deal for him too. Dude looks out of shape though. I wish D-Lo/Okafor the best on the Nets and hope they reach their potentials there).
Sorry for the rant, everybody. I need a place to talk bball, even if so many of you despise my beloved Lakers.
-
Fair enough, Lakers are looking promising with the talent they're building on. Ingram is coming into his own and becoming a great weapon on offense, also agree with everything you said about Lonzo, not the biggest fan of his family and their antics but he's seems like a good enough guy and has a lot of potential. Also congrats to Kobe for his achievement tonight dude is a once in a generation talent and deserves his numbers hanging in the rafters.
-

The fact that he's shooting a lot better now is a good sign. He was aggressive and scored some big buckets in OT.

Nothing I love more than spending the day watching Christmas games. First look at Cleveland this year and Love was lethal from outside, can't imagine the powerhouse that team is gonna be when I.Thomas is running point.

Poor Boogie after him and AD were really starting to mesh too.

that sucks about damarcus cousins, its pretty unlikely he'll ever be the same player ever again, considering his body and playing style.
also, the raptors are creeping up on the Celtics.

Celtics kept it real close agains the Warriors, I'm not too worried for them.
Oh, and now Roberson is out for the season. So many fucking injuries.

Sounds like current and ex Clippers are tired of Doc Rivers. Maybe Griffin will be in a better environment and with a team that can potentially make it past the second round? Combination of Griffin and Drummond can make some serious damage in the East.

Detroit sold the farm to make 8th place in the east. I don't understand why that team isn't better.They have soo much talent, and a really good coach.

I think it comes Down to Simmons, Kemba Walker, and Dragic For that all star spot.

So many teams we're afraid of right now: Rockets, Nuggets, Jazz (hot streak might end soon), OKC (worse w/o Roberson though). Oddly enough, I'm not too worried about the Wolves. They're good but you can only do so much with Jeff Teague. And they might get gassed from all the regular season minutes.
-
I'm hoping it's just a mid season slump, but yeah they've been playing really carelessly and turning over the ball at an alarming rate, the rockets are the only actual team I can see beating GS in a 7 game series, they're lethal from deep and can go on absurd runs in a matter of minutes.
-
Cavs look great on paper but all those dudes are old. IT is straight up a defense liability.
I'm with you Silky. Houston was the team I was most worried about at the start of the season. Not only because of the 3 point shooting but Capella has really come into his own. (his height and athleticism is perfect for todays game)I feel like Gsw can't match up with him correctly. Green can but I think he needs to stay on the 4. So who does that leave? Bell is still a rookie.
I will say I have been impressed with Looney this season.
RIP the death line-up.
-
Out of all the years in this golden state run, this is has been the most confident I’ve been in the Rockets. Harden and CP are gelling much better than i thought they would.
However, 7 games ... a lot can happen. So I’m enjoying the ride, but not getting my hopes up too much.
Still a bummer about Boogie. I think they could’ve made some noise in the playoffs.

Ok, so OKC beat the Warriors, are they becoming a serious threat in the West?

Very true, I think at this point I can definitely see a Warriors/Rockets in Western Conference Finals. OKC without non hoodie Melo and Westbrook just lost to the Lakers. OKC can be explosive but have to agree with you that there's isn't consistency there yet. Maybe after the all star break they can get back on track. With that being said, I can see Westbrook averaging another triple double this season.

Cavs appear to have gotten rid of their worst three point shooters. At least Wade is back where he started. DRose will probably get waived and end up with Timberwolves. Lakers cleared up salary/space for offseason signings; which I'm hoping for but will mostly likely be another 2017 off season.

Pretty sure yips is just a catch all term that means you can't disconnect a bad memory to something you were able to normally do before. So yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of skaters that just stopped doing big stuff or skating altogether after getting a bad injury.

I’d love to see new teams in the Finals, and I really wanted to get behind Philly, but watching what Boston is doing without Kyrie and haven been doing without Hayward all season is wild.
Out West it seems inevitable that Houston or Golden State will make it to the Finals. OKC has been a bummer all season save the few flashes of potential they’ve shown, but I back Houston just for the sake of giving a different team a crack at taking it all home.

as a celtics fan I knew the 76ers wouldn't get swept but jesus the refs took over for about half of the game calling everything phillys way or maybe I'm just biased. I do love the trash talking in this series tho. embiid and Morris going back n forth was great.
I'm still shocked the Celtics are playing this well Keanu Reeves replacements style but next round if it's Boston(or philly) idk what will happen since lebron is on a warpath and it seems like the other cavaliers remember how to play basketball now. maybe he'll run out of gas but I doubt it
I feel bad for the raptors. they turn into ricky bobby after the crash whenever lebron is involved.
demar and lowry looked broken and lost at the post game presser. As long as lebron plays basketball in the east the raptors will be irrelevant.
sadly the pelicans are going to lose by 20 tonight
and the jazz will probably lose a closer game but I think Donovan Mitchell should win roty based on the simple fact that Ben Simmons can't shoot
and he also spent a season with the sixers almost like nba summer camp for a year straight.
(he will be terrorizing the east for the next 10+years tho)
speaking of rookies I also forgot Markelle Fultz existed until I saw him on the bench during the game. what a strange situation he got himself into.
lastly Houston vs. Golden State should be wild!

Yeah definitely even if I they don't make it to the finals this year a 3 year run is still incredible, along with winning the Chip two out of 3 times, but I'm confident they'll respond at home with their backs against the wall and hopefully push it to 7 games

No CP3 for game 6 (hopefully only game 6), so I’d imagine this is going 7. And even then I’d still pick the Warriors until the rockets prove me otherwise. I’ve been down this road so many times only to be let down.
I’ll at least applaud the rockets defense last two games despite an atrocious offense. Harden was like 0-11 from 3 ha. And Durant’s gonna get his.
Also the Celtics making their playoff run WITHOUT heyward and Irving... Celtics vs Lebron essentially though.

Game 7s in both conference finals, you couldn't ask for more as a basketball fan.

These conference championship matchups have been great to watch. I’d love to see two new teams in the finals and I’m really pulling for Boston. It’s amazing to see how that team has kept it together despite the injuries.
But I just don’t know if either team in the East has what it takes to beat Houston or Golden State.

Go Warriors, fuck flop ass Harden.
Go Dubs. Going to be a wild game Monday for both teams. Going to be a fun time of BBQing and basketball.

four years in a row, really? snoooozzzee

beating the rockets was all i wanted. championship is a bonus.
-
that was probably the worst officiated game i've seen since the lakers vs. kings game 6 in the 2002 wcf
refs took at least 10 points away from harden. not to mention eric gordon getting mauled when he tried to drive to the rim.
but congrats to the warriors i guess. they gonna smoke the cavs.
-
It'll go 7, the NBA needs that ad revenue.
-
Yeah the refs made them miss 27 straight threes in the 3rd too right? Give me a break Harden gets every bs call and as soon as they decide not take his bait it's rigged? They still tookn 7 more fts than GS too

harden made a 4 point play that was taken away and he was clearly fouled on 2 3 point attempts.
https://twitter.com/SWHTown30/status/1001284671269990400
that's 10 potential points taken away and the rockets only lost by 9.
-
Yeah where he hooked Klay and threw it up and it happened to bank in? Not in the act of shooting good call by the refs but don't get complaining about free throws if they're in your favor, live by the three die by the three is what happened tonight.
-
gotta shoot 3's because this happens when you try to drive.

That excuse is tired don't miss damn near 30 threes (in a row, not total) and expect to get the win, I'm off this shit , good series Houston I expect your team to bounce back next year when everyone's 100 % see you then.

Haha no one is a saying it’s rigged. He’s alluding to the bad calls. Had those same calls been against the warriors and they lost, there’d be a god damn Mutiny.
No CP3, piss poor shooting, and they ran out of gas. It’s all on you now, Cleveland.
-
Seems like an excuse, give credit where credits due, fire your shit coach and get someone who knows what good shot selection is
https://youtu.be/Jox6ggZpxnI
-
Excuses hmmm. Got it. By simply pointing out bad calls. But if the rockets win, it’s “LOOK HOW MANY FTS THEY SHOT THEY GOT BAILED OUT”.
Uhhhhhh no shit they shot abysmally Hence, “piss poor shooting”. I’ve given credit where credits due on here since the warriors started their run years ago.
Edit: pretty sure I’ve gotten the Jordan laughing GIF after saying they were one of the best teams in basketball 4/5 years ago.
Harden and CP3 vs 4 all stars. I did not picture this going 7. Well def see y’all next year.
-
Since we're airing out bad calls, Klay got 3 shit calls the first minute, Clint Capela goes over the back every offensive board he gets and harden travels on his step back 3s.
Also it's not the fts it's the way Harden gets them dude is looking to get bailed out constantly and finally got told to fuck off, but yeah he'll probably get a pity MVP trophy like Westbrick last season.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYveyAb6mvU
point out bad officiating = excuse?
i'm not even saying they lost because of the refs (i never even used the word rigged) but it was just a poorly officiated game. i never seen a home team get so many bad calls in a game 7 on their floor.
-
It’s safe to say there were pretty bad calls all around, but in regards to those possessions it could’ve kept us in the game.
I’m more frustrated with the missed lay ups and jacking up contested 3s early in the shot clock. Thats where we miss CP3. He’s the only one it seems who would settle with a fucking mid range jumper.
-
Cavs winning the ECF felt like a championship in itself. I'm cool with a silver medal. Unfortunately, they are getting shellacked, mollywhopped, and curb stomped by the Warriors in the Finals.

Back to Back Ships
Lebron to Philly is my prediction, what do you guys think?
-
Lebron is such a fucking baby. I try so hard to like him and respect his game but he is far from the goat. Showing up to the press conference with his hand in brace was kind of whack. Was he grasping for an excuse? To make it worse, his hand injury was self inflicted!
I get it that JR Smith fucked up and it was a costly mistake. However, think about how much dumber breaking your hand would have been and risk having to sit the rest of the series? What an idiot.
Anyways...Go DUBS!
-
Blaaaaaaah.... fuckin’ eh.
Seriously though there isn’t a spot on the court Durant CANT hit from. That fadeaway is money.
-
I’ve learned to appreciate Lebron but dude is not the goat. Regardless, two different players/eras/etc. Can’t forget that he took the easy switch on Steph and avoided getting posturized again by KD’s game 3 dagger.
I like Lebron to Sixers. Rockets would have 3 ball dominant dudes. Lakers would be cool for the experiment. But I think he will go to the Bulls and request to wear #23.
-
LeBron definitely is an all time great but it's hard to feel bad on his lack of help, he pretty much hand picked his team these past few seasons with getting his favorites cashed out and orchestrating trades etc. He at least made good on bringing a title to Cleveland.
Edit: would also like to apologize for my dickish comments in this thread a majority of them were made after one too many brews not that that excuses them, I'm total jock asshole when it comes to my local teams

I've hated on LeBron for over 10 years, but he's gained my repsect the last few seasons for all of the hard work he's put in, so I'm actually ecstatic about this.
My Lakers have been trash for over 5 years and almost every key free agent has turned us down (Dwight, Melo, Derozan, Aldridge, Paul George, etc.) It feels good that the best player in the NBA had the balls to join LA.
Next season will be fun.

Kerr must have alot of confidence in Damian, he told him after the finals that next year was his to take over, not sure if that means starting job or off the bench because I'm hearing Kyle O'quinn signing rumors.

The move makes sense as far as having Damian Jones and Bell. I’m hoping for O’Quinn or Lopez to fill that classic big spot. Cut Zaza and let West retire. Jamal Crawford for an oldhead locker room presence?

Aaaand gs just got better???

Bob Myers is a legend, Boogie at the 5 is gonna be ill

My Lakers got back to back Shaqtin a Fool MVP...Javaaaaaleeeee Mcgeeeeeeeeee
-
Boogie to dubs is a real downer. Who's supposed to compete with them???
-
No one... the rich get richer. Boston might give them a little hell, but that’s essentially an all-star starting 5 once boogie is healthy.
-
boogi is listed as 6'11 and 270, whick is likely 7ft and 290, and he's going to be 28 before the season starts, the is a much higher chance that he never recovers from a ruptured achilles, let alone be back mid season or later.
I look at this signing as taking a waiver on a guy with a huge upside.
-
It pretty much is. He probably won’t be ready until what, all star break or so if that. Sign a small one year deal, get a ring, then get a bigger contract for 2019-2020. Can’t knock him for that I guess.
It’s making more sense the more I think about it... i don’t think Achilles injuries have been too kind to most athletes let alone basketball players.

That's the way I've looked at it. The guy is hitching his wagon to a championship caliber team while he's injured and is going along for the ride. Achilles injuries are really difficult to come back from, especially for someone his size in the position he plays. Even if he can't get back to the level he was at, he's still an improvement from anyone else the Warriors have had at that position and no doubt he'll make an impact when he returns.
As a fan of the NBA, it sucks to see one team so stacked. But it's true, you can't blame the guy for wanting to sign there while he's recovering from a tough injury. It's the best move he could've made right now. Who was it that said people wouldn't believe the things that were going on behind the scenes? Was it David West? I can't imagine what the locker room would be like with Draymond, Cousins, KD and West. Lord have mercy.

Warriors adding Boogie is an impressive move, but it doesn't put them ahead of my Knicks, who picked up Mario Hezonja and re-upped on Luke Kornet.

AD made it pretty clear he didn't want to play with Cousins anymore especially after that playoff run they made without him.

Nobody wanted Boogie for a reason. All that weight on a ruptured achilles is the end of him. 'Nique is the only player to come back from that injury and he had to change his game to stay competitive. Anyway, fuck these players taking vet minimum to chase a ring. Really hoping Debo never gets trading from Toronto.

kid dropping truth bombs

I also feel that the Boogie signing has been overrated. On a one-year contract, and coming back from an achilles injury, how many total minutes is he going to play for them next year? $5.4 million probably isn't far off from the actual value he'll provide for the team, assuming he comes back sometime around the all-star break on 15-22 minutes a game. All this does is make the Warriors better on paper, while giving Demarcus somewhere to hang out while he tries (probably in vain) to rebuild his value to max-contract level.
Does anyone know WTF the Lakers are doing? I get that they wanna sign a bunch of vets to one-year deals to keep their cap space for 2019, but they could have at least gotten some that fit their team (Ariza). Instead, they're assembling one of the most clown car NBA squads in recent memory to put around Lebron in one of his few remaining prime years.

Lakers look like they're gearing up for a Kawhi trade, but their FA signings are headscratchers for sure. I've been convinced for years that Magic Johnson is one of the dumbest men in basketball.

Any explanation I've seen is that they're trying to surround LeBron with hard-working playmakers so he can post up and score. It's vastly different than the style of play we're used to seeing with him, but the general idea is to give the ball to other guys who can take some of the workload off LeBron. It seems like they signed him this season, and 2019 go after a few more pieces. The list of free agents there would provide some interesting lineups.

Its being overrated and drawn out because a player of his caliber went to the best team in the NBA... yes his injury (especially at his size) could be a potential career altering, but lets say he’s even a fraction of the boogie we know... that’s still more production the warriors will have had at the 5 since who.. bogut maybe? Not sure on Looney or Zaza. Defense he’ll be a liability perhaps. Fast break etc. The point is the warriors got him for peanuts ha. If he doesnt do shit, he’s gone. It’s a win win for the dubs. Demarcus nor the warriors really lose anything. Just my opinion tho.

Tbh it's probably the most production they've had at the 5 since Nate Thurmond (unless you wanna count young Chris Webber as a center).
But whether or not he plays well, he's gone after this season. I believe the CBA dictates that the Warriors can only give him a 120% raise year over year (this might have something to do with Bird Rights as well), so he'll have to go elsewhere to obtain the $100M+ contract he deserves when healthy.
-
Ah Weber and the dubs... that was actually a real likable warriors team... it gave us this moment (i think this was the 94 play offs)

My grandmother worked with Chris Weber's dad at Cadillac and I went to his basketball camp in the mid 90's and the only thing I remember is one day at lunch, Chris Weber put BBQ sauce on a salad.

Ok who’s on their 2K account...
-
pop is going to love derozens defense.

Raps did Demar dirty. It amazes me that people want players to be more loyal when you got a guy dedicated to the city and team of Toronto and within days of being told he won't be traded gets shipped off. All for like a year of Kawhi not caring at all and possibly faking injuries until his free agency.
-
I would have never thought Derozen would have left Raptors too. Going to be odd not seeing him play next to Kyle Lowery no more.
-
Kawhi's heel turn caught me completely by surprise, dude seemed like a quiet no nonsense type of player but this whole situation is incredibly annoying to me, I can't imagine what being a Spurs fan during all this must be like.
-
Now he’s apparently threatening to sit the season out....
What a clusterfuck. I feel like Toronto won that trade, but it’s looking bad for both sides.
Derozan i think is owed a shit ton of money, no? Maybe pop can fix some of his flaws? Granted pop doesn’t retire..

that whole trade is fucked. I get why both sides did it, but it seems like no one is happy.

Per Woj, he's warming to the idea of playing in Toronto since they are a contender in the East. DeRozan is owed 27.7M until 2021, can opt out of his current contract after 2019-20.

lowry may have been looking, but i dont think they were gonna bite on that. at least not without being a part of a sizeable package deal
as a raps fan, im really hyped on the trade. loved DeMar's loyalty and how much he backed the city, but the raptors hit a definite ceiling with that core group, no debating it. even with Lebron out West, Boston and Philly have come up, even Indiana was looking pretty decent and promoting our old assistant coach to head coach wasnt gonna make up the difference. DeMar seems like a work horse so i think he'll flourish under Popovich. Jakob Poeltl was decent, but that and the pick(protected top 20 next year, turns into 2 second round picks the following year if thats not met) were peanuts to give up considering we got to keep the rest of the younger talent(OG, Van Vleet, Delon Wright, Pascal Siakam) and also got Danny Green. I didnt think Toronto would land a top 5 player for at least another 10 years or maybe even ever. we're gonna have ridiculous depth for this one year(at least) and if they can perform up to or above par, even though he seems set on LA (naive optimism alert) i think Masai can sell him on staying in toronto even if its just short term, but ideally he'd bite on that 5 year $190 mil that only the raps can offer. im gonna assume he's pretty unfamiliar with the city and feared the worst when he heard he was coming to canada. hopefully his opinion on the franchise can only go up. i dont know if hes the type to care, but he'll pretty much have a whole country backing him if they do well.
im wondering if they slightly regret firing Dwayne Casey as that just seemed like "we gotta do something" move. the new coach/old assistant coach, Nick Nurse is credited with running a lot of their offence though so we'll see what he can do.
as far as DeMar being done dirty, it seems like it might've been more of a miscommunication than a straight up lie, maybe a bit of a sneaky one, though. im biased towards Masai, but apparently he spoke to Derozan at summer league and gave him some expectations he wanted him to meet during or for the coming season. i guess that implied that he'd be staying in toronto long term, but Ujiri also issued a press release around the same time saying that no raptor was untradeable. i see DeMar's point, but i dont think he's delusional enough to not see why it was a move Ujiri had to make.
I don't wanna get my hopes up too high as we are talking about a toronto sports team and Kawhi can be brittle(supposedly currently healthy, though), but i really didnt think something like this would ever happen to the raptors for some reason.
most people i've spoke to in toronto are surprisingly bugging about the trade. they cant believe we traded our best player for a "rental"(even though DeMar only has a 2 year contract to Kawhi's 1. he'd probably resign, but would you want that?), not realizing how elite of a player Kawhi is. I don't know if it's lack of nba knowledge or if theyre just blinded by their love for Derozan and can't get over how he was "done dirty". The guy's tenure in toronto was pretty great and this way he goes out without any blemishes on it(aside from most of his playoff performances). I really hope torontonians can cut the shit by the time october rolls around because we gotta show him how great the fanbase can be(the stuborness is a double edge sword) and try to woo him the way OKC did Paul George. I think if we can actually contend, the Lebron LA factor could actually work to our advantage. wouldn't it be more appealing to take home the championship as the star instead of (what people will probably see even if it's not entirely true) Lebron's sidekick? I know he was already a finals MVP, but im sure he'd like to show people he can do it again with a new squad especially coming off an injury and without another legendary veteran on the team(had tim duncan in 2014). not to mention it'd be the first time anyone's brought it to Canada. i heard someone else point out that he can now use "The Claw" nickname/image to it's full potential as well.

So glad basketball season has started. So many good stories to follow this season. Who's going to take the east? Celtics should be the obvious pick but maybe Kawhi gets Toronto rolling? On paper the Cavs should still be a contender too. Ideally I'd like to see Antetokounmpo have a huge season and I'm interested to see how Trae Young does down in Atlanta.
The west is going to continue to dominate the league. Looking forward to watching dubs highlights.

as a raps fan, im really hyped on the trade. loved DeMar's loyalty and how much he backed the city, but the raptors hit a definite ceiling with that core group, no debating it. even with Lebron out West, Boston and Philly have come up, even Indiana was looking pretty decent and promoting our old assistant coach to head coach wasnt gonna make up the difference. DeMar seems like a work horse so i think he'll flourish under Popovich. Jakob Poeltl was decent, but that and the pick(protected top 20 next year, turns into 2 second round picks the following year if thats not met) were peanuts to give up considering we got to keep the rest of the younger talent(OG, Van Vleet, Delon Wright, Pascal Siakam) and also got Danny Green. I didnt think Toronto would land a top 5 player for at least another 10 years or maybe even ever. we're gonna have ridiculous depth for this one year(at least) and if they can perform up to or above par, even though he seems set on LA (naive optimism alert) i think Masai can sell him on staying in toronto even if its just short term, but ideally he'd bite on that 5 year $190 mil that only the raps can offer. im gonna assume he's pretty unfamiliar with the city and feared the worst when he heard he was coming to canada. hopefully his opinion on the franchise can only go up. i dont know if hes the type to care, but he'll pretty much have a whole country backing him if they do well.
im wondering if they slightly regret firing Dwayne Casey as that just seemed like "we gotta do something" move. the new coach/old assistant coach, Nick Nurse is credited with running a lot of their offence though so we'll see what he can do.
as far as DeMar being done dirty, it seems like it might've been more of a miscommunication than a straight up lie, maybe a bit of a sneaky one, though. im biased towards Masai, but apparently he spoke to Derozan at summer league and gave him some expectations he wanted him to meet during or for the coming season. i guess that implied that he'd be staying in toronto long term, but Ujiri also issued a press release around the same time saying that no raptor was untradeable. i see DeMar's point, but i dont think he's delusional enough to not see why it was a move Ujiri had to make.
I don't wanna get my hopes up too high as we are talking about a toronto sports team and Kawhi can be brittle(supposedly currently healthy, though), but i really didnt think something like this would ever happen to the raptors for some reason.
most people i've spoke to in toronto are surprisingly bugging about the trade. they cant believe we traded our best player for a "rental"(even though DeMar only has a 2 year contract to Kawhi's 1. he'd probably resign, but would you want that?), not realizing how elite of a player Kawhi is. I don't know if it's lack of nba knowledge or if theyre just blinded by their love for Derozan and can't get over how he was "done dirty". The guy's tenure in toronto was pretty great and this way he goes out without any blemishes on it(aside from most of his playoff performances). I really hope torontonians can cut the shit by the time october rolls around because we gotta show him how great the fanbase can be(the stuborness is a double edge sword) and try to woo him the way OKC did Paul George. I think if we can actually contend, the Lebron LA factor could actually work to our advantage. wouldn't it be more appealing to take home the championship as the star instead of (what people will probably see even if it's not entirely true) Lebron's sidekick? I know he was already a finals MVP, but im sure he'd like to show people he can do it again with a new squad especially coming off an injury and without another legendary veteran on the team(had tim duncan in 2014). not to mention it'd be the first time anyone's brought it to Canada. i heard someone else point out that he can now use "The Claw" nickname/image to it's full potential as well.
sorry for the rambling novel.
TLDR; I'm friggin stoked Kawhi Leonard is a Raptor
here to say go raptors... im also curious about how kawhi will hold up. being injury prone and all i wonder if he milks it for a year or really competes. i can also imagine getting traded to toronto might feel like a lowblow. i hope he gets on the bandwagon.. he was lookin sick in that raps jersey last night. my thoughts on the derozan trade: i think it was a great deal but I wonder about kawhis loyalty. it still blows my mind hes a raptor

There were no rumors or anything. I guess talking shit about starters minutes was the last straw...
-
I don't really know how I feel about that trade. Jimmy's really good obviously but I think losing both Saric and Covington at once is really gonna fuck up their spacing. They're gonna have to finally bench Fultz and bring in Reddick to the starting linup to address this problem (should have done that already tbh).
I'm also not 100% sure that Butler's personality is gonna fit with their young guys. Can't see him having much patience with Fultz's two-year odyssey of re-learning how to play basketball given that he's already 29 and wants to win now. Should be entertaining to watch though..

melo is done, and I want to know something. When was he good? I don't understand how he's been a bad player for over 10 years and everyone pretends he's elite.

So Fultz can't play cuz his lawyer said so...am I the only one in Philly that is not a fan of Markelle? I want him to succeed so much but he's a SG that don't shoot.

I am a Warriors fan and thought the calls were really BS. Would have made a big difference in the game.

Rockets are going to have to shoot better than 14 of 47 from down town to compete. Not to mention they got beat on the boards too.
A little early to go blaming the refs.
-
That’s a fair assessment, but going forward they gotta call the games better... there were some calls that went the Rockets way too though..
But this is a reoccurring issue with them... when they’re off, they don’t make adjustments. They just keep shooting and shooting... you’re not going to beat the warriors that way... moving on to game 2.

CP3 and Harden are KNOWN for faking contact. It's inevitable that refs are going to miss calls. It's a lot easier to assess foul/no foul when you don't completely change your shot form.
-
I’d love to see golden state lose, but god damn do they need no room to get threes. Rockets are gonna need to do better than 1:13 from three like they started this gam e to have a chance. Curry air balled early in the game but when the game was on the line was there any doubt that was going in?

Houston in 6, GS turned the ball over a million times and needed poor officiating to win. If your 3 point heavy opponents are cold from 3 but still kept the game competitive you're fucked.

i dont think harden and cp3 being those guys means that the refs cant still be on golden states side. although i kinda like that they seem to allow a little more contact in the post season, they definitely missed some shit in that game. unless youre from the bay area or been a fan for a decade or whatever, liking golden state is corny anyway.

This is true. I hate calling out the refs because it seems like a cop out in a sense and harden/cp3 are generally on the good end of a call, but the one that bothered me the most was when klay closed out on harden. His foot was in between harden’s and that could’ve ended badly.
However, i think Harden should shut up and play basketball. Shoot better.

why would klay wanna leave the team that drafted him and he won 3 rings with?

Theyre boring to watch, Kerr bugs me, Stephs too cocky for me to like, KD is a major kook, etc. Being that most skateboarders are humble its hard for to like anyone who comes off as ostentatious as they do. Which pretty much that whole team does. I understand thats kind of a part of sports but I can only take so much. Wont deny that the players are good but its not what I wanna see. I will say that I dont have a horse in this race and almost always root for the loser (underdog).
Cant explain why I think theyre boring to watch either. The nuggets are another good team that I didnt really enjoy watching. No idea what it is.
-
fair enough.. to each their own. i couldn't help but watch a lot of warriors games for 14/15 15/16. shit was just a mind fuck.. and so far from what i would call boring. but i do kinda understand where you're coming from. the rest of the league is following suit (playing small, space and pace) and adapting their formulas to compete.. so the novelty has kinda worn off since their playing the popular style. but for awhile there GS was bringing some new life and I couldn't look away!

Toronto was live after the win the other night. Excited for this series. Sucks I'll be overseas in a timezone where I'll miss games 3 onward. Hoping to avoid spoilers and just watch youtube highlights or something. It's about time Toronto is in the finals for a top tier sport.

yeah, not a fan of GS, but i wouldnt say theyre boring to watch. boring to see them win time and time again, sure. this is pretty illogical, but it'd be more exciting to see the stars lead other teams without each other. i kinda like when steph and or klay go cold and durant has to go off(doesnt mean its all iso) or like now where durant's out and steph pulls crazy 4th quarters out. i could be wrong, but i feel like theyd all have to play at higher level more consistently if they didnt have 3-4 other stars that can individually carry the game if they arent able to that night.
this might be a dumb question, but why did put the supermax rule in place? it seems like it brings less parity to the league

Yeah that's how I catch my games too, only trouble is when tip off is at 9pm EST it'll be 2am where I am. I'll be on vacation so I'd rather not stay up all night and waste a full day...however if the Raps have a chance at winning then you know I'll be up.
Anyone know of any sites that post replays of games? I have one for NHL, but they don't seemt offer it for NBA.

The whole game or just like highlights? NBA channel on Youtube do like 10 min recaps of games.

Raps looking legit through 3 qs
-
Sixers fan here so I guess go raptors. Looking good so far this game, it'd be crazy if the raptors actually won this year.
-
This is gonna be a great series, Raps and their fans are rowdy as fuck
-
went out to a bar for the first time this playoffs and even the spillover bar that i had to go to ended getting packed and rowdy.
seeing that finals patch on the back of a raptors jersey feels kinda surreal. super hyped they took game 1, but they pretty much had to if KD is coming back, not to mention it being at home.
i might actually cry if they win the championship
-
it still doesn't feel real. go raptors.
-
I was telling my homie the same thing, it feels like 2k
-
go canada
-
Drake is annoying but gotta give him credit. That Home Alone hoodie was a master troll job.
-
that was pretty good. it went over my head at first.
fuckin raptors offensive droughts. i guess them playing that poorly and still only losing by 5 is ok, but shit they had chances to get back in it and just couldnt hit anything
-
Stressful as fuck of a game today. Hopefully Klay is healthy when they play Wednesday. I was confident in the Warriors playing at home but not, I am just not sure.
-
Kevin Durant is going to save the Warriors, but it would be cool to see Toronto win the whole thing
-
Worried about Raptors. Still couldn't win with Klay out towards end. Lowry needs to get his act together. VanFleet playing like a starter
-
it still doesn't feel real. go raptors.

KD is probably done in The Bay now right? Can anyone really see him coming back for game 5 or 6 just to lose....

Even if the series is 3-1 now let's not forget we are talking about the warriors AND raptors here, i.e. anything is possible. Would be so good if raps won!

Not ready to give up on the series just yet but honestly great series for the Raps, y'all came out to play. Kawhi is solid as they come
-
...lets go raptors.
-
Going to be a big bummer losing this finals and not giving one more ring to Oakland but I am okay with Warriors losing to the Raptors. Still.....I hope we at least go to game 7.
-
KD is a game time decision apparently, the plot thickens

Great fucking game. Except for the trash Raptor fans cheering at KD getting injured. That is lame. At least Lowry and other players showed some class.
Splash brothers showed up. If this goes to game seven we could be witnessing one for the books.
Go Dubs.
-
Sad to see KD go down like that... as a skater who has had injuries that shit sucks. Raptors had so many opportunities to close that one out, but it would be fitting if they got it in 6 (Toronto = the 6)
-
That was like an odd win and a loss. To see KD go down like that is just so tragic. Love him or hate him, you never want a player to go out like that.
I hope this goes to game 7 just for the NBA's sake and not even for the Warriors. Been one hell of a series.
-
Heartbroken for KD, shitty Toronto fans cheered him going down but I understand these type of high priced games bring out some lesser fans. I know the Toronto fan base is better than who was in the arena that night

Man, that bummed me out. I'm not even a Raptors of Warriors fan, although I'm rooting for the Raptors. I'm not justifying their behavior but I have never been at a finals game that meant so much. I will say, not a good look. Like others have said, this does not represent all fans. I'm a Lakers fan and remember all the trolls online when Kobe got injured. Didn't feel good. Hoping KD comes back sooner than later. I don't wish those type of injuries on anybody. Stay up KD.

^I was gonna say. it is kind of a trashy reaction, but it was a glimmer of hope after seeming like KD was gonna extinguish all of it. as shown people ended up showing respect to him.
that nick nurse timeout with 3 minutes left was so frustrating. not saying raptors would have won for sure, but i think they would've had a much better chance if they just let it roll.
L2M report said they missed a foul on gasol by cousins, but those arent as frustrating since they miss stuff on both ends all game.
i hope they can end it in 6. i dunno if i can handle a game 7
-
i cannot handle watching any more of these games, my wife can't handle me pacing around.
When Kyle missed that shot I melted down Mike York at the beginning of his ya right part.

Exactly. I cant stand the dude but I would never wish an injury on anyone. The arena chanted KD as he was leaving so it seems they quickly flipped on being dickheads. Was the original injury to his achilles? They said calf but this makes me question whether or not he should have been cleared to play.

“Toronto fans cussing and heckling at Stephs mom...”
https://reddit.app.link/dOeZ6PhuuX (https://reddit.app.link/dOeZ6PhuuX)
There are also numerous videos of Toronto fans cheering for KD’s injury at Jurassic Park and bars.
Every team has bad fans. Thank social media.
Can’t believe the Warriors won game 5. I thought Kerr called timeout when Leonard went on that incredible run.
Boogie got called for a moving screen that is never called but Gasol was able to hold Green freely on the last possession. Amazing block by Green. Steph’s mom is fine as hell.
-
Confirmed Lowry lurks slap
-
Worse thing for Durrant was coming back prematurely. You don't just spring back from an Achilles' injury, especially on the wrong side of 30. KD is done. Karma was watching.
Edit: Lowry takes the gnarliest slams every single game, and jumps up like nothing happened. I guess surviving gunshots will do that to you.

Damn good game and finals. Too bad Warriors lost it from the foul line tonight. That was pathetic.

The Raptors president is under investigation for supposedly assaulting a police officer.
Its insane to me that he fired a coach of the year to hire someone who has never been a head coach in the nba and it actually paid off. With all the moves he made with gasol, kawhi, and danny green he deserves a lot of credit.
-
mad credit to masai. so happy right now. almost teared up today when it sunk in while i was watching kawhi's post game interview. i feel really bad for kd and klay. drove almost to yonge and dundas square, foolishly and almost got my car stuck. it was pretty cool seeing so many people happy and getting to be a general yahoo for a night. i hope there's another year of good basketball here, but i still have no idea what kawhi will do. im happy no matter what though.

The cop said his jaw hurt....(no punch was thrown or any contact made with his head).
California police claimed Ujiri had no credentials (video and photographic evidence shows he DID have it in his right hand).
A GSW fan who went public by stating he was a witness right in the middle of it all has NEVER been contacted by anyone in the investigation itself.
And to top it off, the police are saying THEY took the high road by NOT arresting Ujiri.
This whole Masai incident is fucking stupid. Americans just can't let the spotlight shine on the Raptors.

Pelicans did really well in this trade considering what they lost in AD. Zion + Zo + Ingram + Holiday (and if they can trade their fourth pick for a more experienced free agent) could be an exciting team to watch.

This is the craziest day ever. And Kawhi hasn't even signed. I hope he stays in Toronto.....cause.....fuck the Lakers.

Yeah didn’t see that one coming. solid pick up for y’all. That allows klay to fully recover, no?
Rockets continue to get fleeced lol at least we have the Astros....
The jazz got better, nuggets a year better, dubs add Russell, Portland adding Bazemore. What a nightmare ...

I was joking about Zion being a bust the other day. Seems unlikely and for his sake I hope thats not the case.
Hyped on all these roster changes. Really happy Kawhi didnt go to the lakers, excited to watch AD and Lebron, cant fucking wait to see Harden and Russ fight.

Craziest off season in ages

Buump new season is upon us

Excited to see Luka/KP and my Mavs. Even though Wizards aren’t good Luka looked great first game.
I’m hearing OKC may have been underestimated so curious to see cuz Chris Paul is a diva I’d never want on my team.
Can Harden and Westbrook not kill each other?
I hope Zion isn’t gonna have a Greg Oden career. He is a big guy and hope his body can handle a long NBA season.
Clippers gonna be good.
Fuck the Lakers on every level.

Also, I thought it was funny how Embid kept throwing shadow punches after his scuffle like dude you weren’t going to throw hands on the court.
Whose your money on Embiid or KAT?

as far as being relevant in the league? embiid.
-
the warriors suck so far and just lost Curry, don't see DLo stepping up to lead them like head did in BK last season at least not to an 8th seed, hopefully I'm wrong, also hoping it'll give the younger dudes some time to develop for next season when the squads healthy enough to compete again.

Any NBA thoughts going into the new year?
Westbrook on the trading block? (Rumor..)
Jordan Clarkson traded.. what’s the trade market like for t Thompson? Not even mentioning K love...
Melo bloxked by gobert.. what happens in pdx?
G Hayward and youth for KAT? Jaylen brown and Tatum all stars, but not kemba

As a die hard rockets fan (by default), i can’t see any team taking on russ’ contract.... I’d love the dude if he stayed inside the key.. but D’Antoni is live and die by the 3 even if Russ and harden are 0-50 ha....
And Ryan russilo started that conversation regarding Westbrook... not putting much stock in it ...

could see russ to the knicks for like, morris and barrett or something. the knicks are probably that stupid.
meanwhile my sixers are really pissing me off blowing out the bucks then losing to the shitty magic again.

He'll be back. He needs the all star break.. just bad timing and luck with his second ankle. Happened at the end of the last game.
PG tweaked his hammy and sat at the end too. Would like to see full strength squads go at each other.. Jaylen and also Beverly.

Or for a kid in the d league perhaps, but Meh they would’ve addressed it...i deleted my post because i thought the raps got Pau since Portland waived him, but i forgot Marc plays there.
I’m actually quite happy with the way the rockets have been playing... the defensive effort is there for the most part...this is D’antonis magnum opus of a roster... so if it doesn’t work out, Time to blow it up and start anew

I heard this stems from Harden not shaking Giannis' hand or something like that after he won the MVP last year.
Although theres been a lot of 7 footers in the NBA, I haven't seen a lot of people play like Giannis.

Yeah a giannis saying he didn’t pick harden for all star game bc he wouldn’t pass him the ball.
How does that quote make you respect him more?

Giannis threw all kinds of shade during all star weekend.... i think it’s pretty funny. we all know Giannis is a great player... so i can’t imagine harden is 100% serious...

interesting to hear what comes out today. Jazz played a bunch of other teams, but what is nuts is that celebs and A listers are the ones coming out testing positive.

-
if they do playoffs in the summer when do the players on those teams get a break?
Now, I guess?
Doubt the season will continue though. The level of hysteria is still pretty low, largely because of the lack testing in the states, and games are already cancelled. Now that they will probably be forced start testing more, the number of cases, and thus the level of hysteria, should skyrocket at least for the upcoming month. It'll take a long time before it's safe for anyone to make the decision to continue the season without fear of being accused of carelessly risking peoples lives if someone gets contaminated, or even negligent homicide if someone ends up dying consequently
-
Knicks cant lose if they dont play.... but then again im sure theyll find a way

Kinda surprised they haven't figured out a decent way to play games yet.
Is it that hard to just test the players and only let in like an eighth of the fans or what?

The HORSE competition I saw was shameful you would think an organization that's been through what the NBA has been through in the last year could have figured this shit out by now.

I check the raptors subreddit every couple days just to stay sane there is usually some little interview or something.
I miss the damn sports talk shows at this point I still check the tv guide for Tim and Sid knowing full well they aren't going to be on.

I'm not a Lakers fan, but I'm a bit bummed we didn't get to see playoffs Alex Caruso. I know the hype surrounding him started off as a meme, but he really did end up displaying a ton of potential and how much of a contributor he could be.

I heard they were considering doing the playoffs in June has anyone been keeping up with this? I feel like Rudy Gobert should be allowed to play but no one should pass to him. Give him the full Danny Green treatment

Bubble play has been good. Devin Booker proved himself as an elite player and the Suns are gonna be a problem soon enough. I'm really bummed the clippers don't have the first seed I would have loved to see Dame and PG/Pat Bev get chippy after that reignited beef still stoked to see the Blazers Lakers series especially the way Dame has been going of these last few games hoping to see some high scoring games. Good luck to your respective teams fellas.

I actually find it a bit annoying that Devin Booker only gets hot at the end of seasons. Like wheres the killing spree in December or January? I think his 70 point game a couple years ago was mad late in the season as well.

Some fun games for sure. Going to be interesting seeing what the Blazers do. Was really looking forward to more of that Dame vs PG and Beverly beef on the court but what are the odds of that happening. Historically, the Clippers have never made it past the second round, will this be the year? Maybe, as much as I'm rooting for Dame and redemption Melo, I doubt they'll get past the Lakers to meet with Clippers. Same as you, good luck to the rest of the teams.

As a Nuggets fan, and someone who had $20 on Nuggets -1, I was yelling at my tv at the end and very happy with the result.
Murray def looked kinda hurt after that collision w Ingles, gonna be tough with only a days rest before facing the clippers. At least they were able to come back down 3-1 and win another series. Although these game 7s are stressful lol.

Bud's rotations got exposed bad by Spoelstra. Giannis standing on the bench sidelines yesterday was a weird look.
GSW would have to put together a massive package for him. and for a year rental? 2nd pick, wiggins, paschal, etc.

Yeah i imagine he’s staying. I mean what haul would be enough for arguably the best player in the NBA rn. Especially now since cp3 to the bucks could happen...

Going to be a dark couple of years for the rockets... no cap, no draft picks, horrible contracts, cheap owner, poor organizational culture... I’ve vested 10 years into this Harden era.

russ has a 2022-2023 player option but wow .. so much dough for his contract. he's the worst fit for that team IMO.
-
He’s a bad fit for any team Really. He relies so much on his athleticism, so when he hurt his quad he just hasn’t been the same. The turnovers he makes are just sad. Like he forgot how to play basketball. Stands at the 3point line when harden is doubled and hucks (which he’s shooting <20% from) instead of driving to the basket. It’s a mess
Anyways Guess I’ll root for Miami. That’s a fun team to watch..

Denver is a resilient team, down 3-1 in back to back series and still pushing it to 7 games each time is insane.

Jokic is cold blooded, really happy to see the nugs go further than last year. Would love it if they could win a series in less than 7 games....
Lakers will be tough but this nuggets team is clicking under pressure so I have high hopes.

With the rapotrs out, Denver is now my team, what a comeback, Jokic and Murray are stars

Hasn’t been much to cheer about lately for Houston sports, but got damn this brings me much joy. Especially after how much PlAyOfF P and Beverley ran their mouths. Let’s get a heat/nuggets finals.

I was just talking to my friend a few days about Clippers blowing a 3-1, didn't actually think it would happen. Nuggets are a force to reckon with. WCF will be fun. Y'all know who I'm rooting for don't need more hate. With that being said, I throughly enjoyed the game. I really don't like Pat Beverly and all that "playoff P" talk PG was bringing up. Dame was quick with the responses on twitter.

as soon as vogal put Dwight on the bench it was over. Ad defended Bam and the lakers are just going at herro and exposing his defence.
I imagine spolstra will have a good response, but it doesn't look good.
-
They couldn't get bam the ball cutting to the hoop. Closed off the middle of that defense. I think he has to be more aggressive, but now he's hurt. Dragic as well.. toast. The Miami zone looked lazy last night, i don't know.

It was not the game I was expecting.
Also, the other leagues need to take yet another page from the NBA and allow their games audio to be streamed for free on digital radio, more exposure equals higher merchandise sales and more fans.
I listened to the first half on the tune in app while walking my dogs

The lowest viewed finals game ever, but i imagine people were streaming it also versus just watching the broadcast. That big ass YouTube tv ad was giving me a headache...

Guilty right here. I'm watching a stream. A lot to consider, competing with MLB and NFL, plus if I can remember correctly, Finals are never played on Friday's.

I’m happy for you and all of LA. I saw videos of people in the streets chanting Kobe and got goosebumps. The level of play in the bubble when playoffs started was a lot more competitive than I thought it would be. I’m really impressed with what the NBA was able to pull off, bummed it’s over, but grateful for what we were able to see.
This was a fitting ending to a rough year for the NBA.
-
L4/10N

Huge difference from the last game. The Lakers defiled the Heat. It is only right Lakers bring home the W following Kobe's passing.
High likelihood that Dodgers take the world series this year as well.
CA is on the precipice of a shalom renaissance.

Thought it was wild that some/most people were in the bubble for over 90 days

The Lakers Danny Green and Dwight Howard are going to the Sixers. They're being replaced by the runner up and actual sixth man of the year (Schroder/Harrell). Wow

I'm thrilled to watch the three weirdest anti social superstars piss each other off and drive each other absolutely insane. Kyrie is gonna spam their group chat with pseudo intellectual drivel, KD is probably gonna snipe at kyrie but only to James, James is gonna be mad that all the strip clubs are closed in Brooklyn, it's going to be fucking hilarious

Even if he does it won’t last. First sign of things getting tough, he’ll act passive aggressive and pout. Doesn’t get the call he just stands there and gives no effort on transition defense.
Christian Wood balled out tonight. I bet that locker room is much happier ...

Curious to see Harden somewhere that won't let him play GM just to keep him happy.
Nets already scream dysfunction, bet this goes downhill quick.

As a Warriors fan, I just hope this means the Lakers won't win this year. And I am sure New York basketball fans are at least happy something is going right in that city.

Very upset to see Jarret Allen leave the Nets.

Re: Harden to the Nets
I know this doesn't apply this year since strip clubs are likely closed everywhere, but I wonder how Brooklyn's clubs affected his performance, and if they would continue to despite it being his home turf?

I’m loving the Lakers’ road record (9-0) so far this year. Too bad they seem to let their foot off of the gas when having a lead at home, but I’ll just chalk it up to them conserving energy early on after such a short off-season.
Huge fan of Schroeder starting and Harrell coming off the bench. Also lookin’ like everyone has gotten better at shooting which was probably our biggest weakness last year. Caruso (!) & KCP are 2 & 3 in the entire league at 3pt % rn!

Anyways psyched on the Knicks and also the Cavs have been really fun to watch. Kawhi has quietly been putting up MVP-level numbers for the past 10 games, i think people tuned out of the Clips once they lost to the Mavs by like 40. Lakers look great as usual. Fuck the Nets.
You should listen to pod don't lie. It's insane delusional Knicks talk from Stavros of cumtown

Russ definitely stat pads, but those are absurd numbers

Numbers for Russ the past two games have been unreal. Wizards would be fun to watch in the Playoffs if Beal & Russ could get on the same page.
-
Westbrook is so hot and cold but i'll always love him
-
it’s a true testament to russ that he can still play out of his mind and the team is still complete basura. not a team player! sad!
-
Absolutely have to respect his hustle and heart, but in crunch time especially in the play offs, seems like he’ll have these insane turnovers.. like head scratching ones. He’ll ISO into oblivion then turn it over.
But yeah i think in years to come we’ll look back and trip on his stats. Think this is like his 4th? 5th? Straight season averaging a triple double. Think in 40 games he already has the Wizards franchise record for triple doubles lol
-
He's danger-russ both to the opposing team as well as his own

I had no idea until this week that Dennis Schroder could skate.

Man he just turned down a contract he should’ve taken. 84 mil? 4 years.

Plus a potential extra 10 million in incentives... yikes... guess he’s gambling on himself in free agency this summer
-
Yes Dennis, weaken the Lakers
-
Man he just turned down a contract he should’ve taken. 84 mil? 4 years.
He's only 27, but no way I'm turning down 21 mil a year from the Lakers. He may get a bigger bag elsewhere but he'll be on a shitty team. Wild move.
-
he'll get more than that. and i doubt he wants to be stuck behind lebron as a secondary ballhandler, even if he probably isn't quite starter level.

Aaron Gordon was nice pick up for the Nuggets.

Last stretch of games before playoffs, how you guys feeling about each of your squads?

My team is the worst in the NBA by a wiiiiide margin... if we end up getting the 5th pick, it goes to OKC thanks to the Westbrook trade lmao. Knowing the basketball gods it almost feels inevitable...
Speaking of, wouldn’t mind seeing the wizards make some noise. Russell has been playing out of his mind..

Knicks will probably lose first round if they have to play the Hawks or Heat unfortunately. The Karl Anthony Towns rumors will immediately dominate their off-season even though he’s a better fit for a team like Charlotte.
-
As a clippers fan, I'm really enjoying the last week, with us winning and the Lakers loooooooooooooosing. Will this be the year that San Diego (and former San Diego) sports teams will have a good year and possibly bring us a championship? Or will we be cursed to horrifying playoff losses to punish us for living in one of the most beautiful places on earth?? Tune in this year as I once again get my hopes up, only to have them brutally dashed in the most painful way possible!
Low key feeling very confident about the clippers this year inshallah

CP3 deserves the MVP.

CP3 deserves the MVP.
He deserves an honorary MVP or something like that, this year is joker's.
Denver's gonna win against dallas or portland and then lose in the second round, and that's fine given all the injuries. Unless my man facu goes supernova, then watch out.
Which teams do you want to see on the finals? I'm looking for utah - philadelphia.

I had a little bit of confidence and hope about a late season and early playoff run but Jaylen Brown has officially been declared out the rest of the season so I'll just be waiting til next year now.
-
jaylen news a bummer
c's not in good shape either way though, can't get the core healthy on the court this year

yeah it's been a rough year for us and hopefully we can spend the off season getting everyone healthy for next year.

Jaylen being hurt is such a bummer. He's easily one of my favorites of this crop of young dudes

Time for Boston to give Stevens the boot. Their season is over with that Brown news, even with him they aren't good enough to compete for a 'Chip.

Ja Morant is a problem man. Him and That grizzlies team are pure grit

Kind of rooting for Phoenix... scrappy team.
But yeah Memphis is fun as hell to watch.

In general that was one of the most enjoyable weekends of basketball I have watched in a long time. I think we got a couple sleeper teams that might make a run.

It’s nice not having playoff anxiety ha... can just watch basketball.
Happy for lots of former Rockets getting a chance. Tucker, Harden, Covington, CP3, and Capela amongst others...
Also Kwame Brown going nuclear on all the media. Poetic justice..

As a Lakers fan, tonight was a good night.
@DaleSr No disrespect to you, but my main problem with the Clippers started when you guys had CP3, Blake, Deandre, Doc, etc. Us Lakers were trash and the Clippers + their fanbase became so entitled/arrogant (yet never accomplished anything with that stacked team).
Years later, Clippers picked up Kawhi and PG13, Pat Beverly proclaimed in Vegas that the Clippers were going to be champions (we all know what happened with Denver in the bubble).
Now they tank their last few games of the regular season to face Dallas and it bites them in the ass. All that cockiness the last few seasons and y'all aint got shit to show for it.
Keep covering up our Laker banners in our stadium. LA our way? Nah. Go back to San Diego or move the team to Vegas. Los Angeles will ALWAYS be a Laker town.

At least you can't blow a 3-1 lead if you don't win any games 💔
No disrespect to you either but i hate the city of Los Angeles with every fiber of my being. I would sell my soul to the fucking devil to have the Clippers back here in San Diego. But the story of sports in this town or any team even remotely connected to it is absolute desolation and despair. I agree with everything you've said, they shouldn't have ever been in staples center, but this team and it's ugly racist history was owned by one of the most evil and black hearted motherfuckers in the entire state. Just like the Chargers and the Clippers, this entire County is stripped for parts and sold to the highest bidder. Junior, Tony Gwynn, Bill Walton, some of the greatest have given all they have to a city that doesn't deserve it or love them back. I've always passionately loved and devoted myself to these teams and they have never loved me back.

Might wanna find a new team, friend. Maybe whichever team kawhi goes to in free agency.
That team is done done absolutely no chemistry to speak of, and nothing on the interior, and the guard play is mediocre to bad.
Join me in rooting for the sixers, because surely we’ll somehow fuck up this super easy path to the finals
-
Kawhi should guard luka the entire series, I haven't seen it at all. But yeah they have no chemistry no soul, don't see them going too far. They need a kyle lowry type of point guard.
Sixers should walk straight into the finals, if they don't I would like to see who they trade Ben for

Trae Youngs stupid face bothers me (though he still didnt deserve to get spat on, that was pretty ridiculous). I had a small amount of hope before the play offs started but the way Knicks have played (even with the game they won) I don't have a lot faith in them to come back :(

The fucking fans are getting out of control recently. I mean, i get hella emotional about basketball myself but throwing shit or spitting on a player is unacceptable. Kyrie and Trae young may annoy the shit out of me but there's no excuse to pull some childish shit like throwing garbage at them. Motherfuckers deserve a Ron Artest/StackJack beat down for that

Yeah pretty disappointing... also that popcorn throwing asshole...
So i guess Kawhi woke up?
I know it’s basically a wrap, but Memphis played their asses off..
Edit: there’s rumors of arod and company potentially moving the wolves to Seattle when they take over.

Kawhiju has awakened.
It's hard to root for another city getting their team taken away and going to a better market, but goddamn i want the sonics back. Seattle has suffered enough from that asshole Clay Bennett burglarizing their team in broad daylight. But i also bet Seattle doesn't want another city to suffer their team being taken from them. They just need to do an expansion already. Give me back my San Diego clippers Steve. Don't build that Inglewood stadium, knock down sports arena and build something beautiful in the ashes

Brutal fucking loss for the Lakers. I'm not gonna dance on their loss or anything like that, since i just felt my own crushing first two games in the clips series. But fuck, they look pretty bad. AD is probably out for the rest of the series. Schroder is pulling a disappearing job, LeBron can't carry them the same way, and the Suns just look way better
Also of course nuggets/blazers had another 2OT game with insane Dame antics. Mother fucking Dame time is a real thing

Rough game. Switched over to watch Blazers-Nuggets instead. Damn, feel bad for Dame. Man was on fire.

Dame had me stressed out for so long tonight, thought the Nugs had it in the bag many times. Happy they pulled it out even if this probably isn't their year without Murray.
-
There's no one as electric as Dame. He's one of my favorite players to watch. I almost cry every time i watch the rockets game winner. Portland getting to experience their first playoff series win in 11 years.
"They get it to Lillard! He got the shot off! Lillard good!"
Shit gets me emotional

Harden with 34/10/10 and only 1 turnover.... fuckin eh man.

Hawks are not only going to breeze past the Knicks but Philly better be ready and on point for them, especially if Embiid isn't 100%.

I don't disagree, and I think that Philly is a better team. But I don't think its going to be the blowout I see others predicting. Trae is learning that he loves the spotlight, he's going to show up and ATL has shooters all over the floor.

if I was the Sixers I'd have let that information sit until after the series. the Sixers can beat the wizards still but with an official knowing that embiid won't be back during this series makes their ability to gameplan much easier.

Not positive TBH but I would assume if you can claim "a player ineligible" without disclosing they have covid like what happened all year I would also assume you can hold injury information until at least after tonights game. By no means do I know the details on those rules though.

As a lifelong diehard Lakers fan, that shit sucked last night. Down by 30 and I checked on the Nuggets game with like 5 min left and watched Dame light the world on fire. Honestly that's the best basketball I've seen since the Jamal Murray VS Donovan Mitchell first round battle last year. That shit was amazing and made me forget how bad the Lakers loss was. I expected this from the Lakers all year. Playing in the bubble the whole time into Oct then turning around 72 days later or whatever to start the next season was going to be impossible for any team to rebound from. Miami got bounced and looked like a shell of themselves. Lakers had so many injuries this year there was no way to get on the same page, so if we go out vs the Suns so be it.

Is it just me, or does this year feel completely wide open? The championship looks to be there for anyone to take it. I just really hope the jazz don't take it. That would be boring as fuck

It does. Due to the injury plague... quite a bummer
Gotta feel for AD and Embiid.... the basketball gods have not been too kind to offensive big men lately (Christian Wood and porzingus as well, although not in AD and Biid’s tier).
Simmons is an elite defender, but man he has to get some form of offense outside of 6ft..
I think (and hope) Brooklyn/Milwaukee will be a barn burner

Brooklyn/Milwaukee is going to be awesome. Really good matchup. If anyone has the personnel to defend the big three it's Milwaukee. The injuries are a massive bummer but it happens every year. So many what ifs

If Embiid isn't flying around doing incredible Embiid shit you won't be in the conference finals. He is not going to deal well with guarding Trae off the pick and roll if he isn't 100%.

Nugs looked damn fine the last few games, and I finally don’t feel stressed out with a game 7. They may be able to come outta the West even without Murray. I still don’t think it’s their year but glad they pulled this off.

Blazers eliminated. My Lakers just got eliminated. What a tough year full of injuries, covid and typical NBA drama. Lakers and Heat really ran out of gas and couldn't make it passed the 1st round. Price they had to pay with only 71 days off from last year's finals. Still, it is what it is.
Didn't like Booker dunking and talking trash when the game was already wrapped up, but whatever. Congrats to the Suns.
Good luck to everyone's teams who are still in it (except the Nets. Lol). I'll forever hate Houston for helping make that super-team tbh.

I think it would take a kings haul to get him and perhaps convince him to leave Portland.. the pieces around him just aren’t cutting it though. McCollums
Contract will be a tough sell to take on IMO. Not immovable, but tough. Dantoni is rumored to be on their potential head coach list. Maybe that could spruce up their offense?
Seems like Luka’s in the same situation..

If Atlanta wins Tuesday-at home, after stealing game one on the road (unreal that Philly let that happen)-the series is over. 76ers have one game to figure out how to stop Trae, and if it is by doubling up on him that leaves someone open on a team stacked with nasty deep shooters. I'd be slightly shook.

I have nothing but respect (and fear) for the 76ers. But it isn't totally clear whether or not Doc figured it out or if Atlanta just started choking (which happens with us).
Atlanta 21-2 (13 straight) in last 23 at home. They were missing multiple starters in those 2 losses.

idk if you can call it choking with the shooting percentage y’all had

That last quarter was pretty bad-i mean, it was probably a combination of Philly figuring some things out and the Hawks collapsing. I think thats about as likely to happen again as Atlanta opening up a 20 point lead on the road in the first half (not likely).

Welp... didn’t age well. Thought the number 1 offense versus number 1 defense would make for a good series...
And in all fairness, i can’t be mad at Brooklyn. I mean I can, but super-teams ain’t going anywhere. Imagine if they had a healthy Harden AND LaMarcus had he not retired.
Long as we get picks 1-4 in the lottery....picks 5+ End up with OKC. Kind of expecting that to happen honestly though.

Nah. Good game last night though, 1-1. See you in ATL, where Philly will not take a game, just like the Knicks.

Lakers suck ,LeBron ruined that team for me. Been a fan of the Lakers since I was a kid. Once LJ muddied it, no mas for me. I didnt like Anthony Davis & not the biggest LeBron fan obviously we witnessing history with him however he ruined the Lakers for me. Anthony Davis such a scrub, dissed his city. Ghannis always be a legend more cuz he stuck to his city even though he will never win a ring. Loyalty, lost art in NBA nowadays
Been a Lakers fan since Eddie Jones, Nick Van Excel, + Kobe. Loved all the different generations expect the LeBron era . He ruined the Lakers for me. I loved the young core of Kuzma, Ingrahm & Lonzo. Rather have that lineup any day. Long story short, LeBron ruined the Lakers for me. Team Clippers ..

Ya Murray injury is hurting the team since he opens up the offense and MPJ seems like his back is hurt. Jokic is basically the whole offense, amazing he can get all these assists when half of his passes end up in bricked shots.

I’m also a Lakers fan going back to the Nick Van Exel days. I just found out Van Exels son is in prison for murdering his friend, which is crazy. I can’t stand Anthony “street clothes” Davis. That dude is soft. It also pains me to watch Kuzma suck every night, while Ingraham, Sweet Lou Williams, Randle, Hart, Ball, etc play pretty well elsewhere. Kuzma is garbage.
To the Clipper fan in San Diego, sorry but I pray the Clippers never reach the Western Conference finals. I am just that petty.
That fight was hilarious. The suns look good this postseason.

Absolutely. Trae is a weird looking hobbit running around gargantuans. He'll be getting 20 assists in playoff games for the next 15 years no matter what rules the league changes.
Meanwhile Embiid out there like Kramer when he joined the kids karate class, except flopping like a balloon animal. Can't be good for the meniscus.

Listen i love doc, but I'm also not upset that he's Philly's problem now. Also Ben Simmons is high key trash. He can be first team all nba defense every year but he can't put in the extra work to develop a jumper like tons of other players with a shaky or bad jumper have. The Kardashians continue to keep up their skill stealing witchcraft. Travis Scott should bail while he still can

It's not terribly bold to say that doc sometimes struggles with late game clock management after witnessing two different blown 3-1 series leads. I will love him forever for dragging the Clippers out of the perennial basement, but he also thought Spencer Hawes was a good idea. Also i was a fan through the lob city years, and I've seen a player work hard on his jump shot to add another wrinkle to his game. Ben refuses to adapt or even attempt to take shots outside of the paint which limits his game greatly. The Kardashian joke was lame on my part though
-
KD is wild
-
For sure. What was it like a 17 point deficit?
And Simmons really is an anomaly tho. That game against Utah he had like 40 something then next game attempted 3 shots lol. An elite defender no doubt.
-
CP3 and Kawhii out now?? Jesus, this playoffs is a corpse race. The finals will be played in wheelchairs

KD is still a basketball demigod. Hoping the Brooklyn Milwaukee series goes 7

Almost feels like whoever has the “healthiest” team at the end will take it.

Sweet, sweet Lou...cooked Seth over and over again.
Ben Simmons needs to learn how to shoot at least a little bit better or his value is going to tank very quickly.
Pretty wild day. Injuries, people getting fired/leaving, blown leads...
-
Reminds me of when Josh smith came off the bench for the rockets (harden tapped out) and went nuclear on the lob city clippers… erased a 25? Point deficit as well. Pretty sure clips had a 3-1 lead and lost in seven…
That shot by Gallanari over curry was a thing of beauty…

I know a lot of it came down to the Sixers choking, but Nate's lineup experiments were a big factor - 3 bigs (Capela, JC, Gallo) and two PGs (Lou, Trae) had em in a rough spot. They had Curry on Lou for a while, and when Lou caught fire they put Thybulle on him, which meant Curry had to take Gallo
No Hawks fan would dispute that Embiid drags his nuts all over us when he's on point. There's nothing we can do. But it does seem like Simmons' mental fragility is contagious as the game goes on. Nobody on the Sixers wanted to take shots down the stretch.
-
i didn't watch either game last night, I wrote the clips off cuz kawai is hurt and I assumed the hawks were going to get steamrolled. Aren't tre young and Lou the same player?

Oh and fuck Embiid forever for this dirty ass shit. Flagrant 2 worthy, but they don't even review it. Can you imagine if the roles were reversed? He's the most talented big in the league, but he's also a bitch.

In all seriousness, he has it hard when his perimeter defenders are letting anyone drive into the paint. But still for that contract you’d want more out of him. Offensively speaking he’s really limited though. Elite lob threat, but not much else.

I can’t stand Utah. Racist fans…. I’ll always be happy when they lose.
And agreed, Gobert is overrated. Seems to have no decent footwork. Looks super awkward on offense. So there’s cadence to what shaq alluded to, but shaq is just so damn bitter.

The Hawks have nothing to lose and might shoot their way to the Finals.

Milwaukee Bucks will win it all. Fuck Drake

i hope the hawks at least drag theyselfs to the finals.
edit: esp cause you have lou will so i as a sixers fan have a reason to pull for you. plus closure if you win it all like the raptors did. and i appreciate all the shit talk. sorry, still processing bens lack of shooting ability w/ 4 years left on his fucking contract

It's taken so much self control to not dunk on the Lakers for being out in the first while the Clippers are in the wcf

Took only 3 shots in the fourth quarter… in 7 games. Crazy. But that passed up dunk? I just don’t understand. The yips maybe? Dude has gotta work his ass off this summer…

Sixers epic meltdown. Jeez Simmons confidence level worse than Fultz during his meltdown awhile ago + when Lonzo went through a phase years ago. Simmons takes the cake, would have been better off pulling a Fultz then let someone hungry play for him during the whole playoffs. Dale right about Doc. Happy to see them lose. Only feel bad for Allen Iverson , know he's been going to games.
Best Playoffs Ever

They do, no disrespect to the Suns-we just match up better against them than Milwaukee. We beat the Suns last time we played in Phoenix right before the playoffs. America needs a Hawks/Suns final, Milwaukee is boring as shit. Hopefully Trae's ankle isn't a huge problem and Middleton shoots like a normal human being on Tuesday.

Not a big sports person,
But as someone from LA I’m cheering the Clippers. I was ready for them to lose after whatever last game was but holy shit! Chris Paul carried the team!

cp3 has restored his karmic balance due to his plant based diet and the universe is rewarding him alhamidullah

Imma say this till I die:
Fuck the Clippers. Also, Fuck Pat Beverly, Fuck Steve Ballmer and Fuck Demarcus Cousins.
Congrats on getting to the WCF though. That's pretty much like a championship to you bums.
Whoever stopped rooting for the Lakers to jump on the Clipper bandwagon, stay there. If you're from L.A., you support the Lake Show. GTFOH.
All shit talk aside, congrats to Chris Paul. Been hating him for 10+ years, but he deserves this so much. Props to Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Monty Williams and the Suns. They have battled hard.
Paul George has my respect, hands down. He put in the WORK. Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris too. They balled out. Reg deserves the bag. (Bonus shout out to Zu). Billy Crystal is a true Clipper fan and I've always admired his dedication to the team. If you guys would have won it all this year, then you deserved it.
Injuries have been brutal these playoffs. Trae and Giannis need to come back. Let's hope everyone can stay healthy the rest of these playoffs + next season. The game needs a Lakers/Clippers series.
Edit: and what happens with Kawhi? He opts out and Clips offer the max? He seems like he's never going to play a full season again and cannot be a reliable first option due to being injury prone. If I'm Ballmer, I roll with PG13 and ask Kawhi what new city he'd like to play in.
-
I can't be mad at cp3 going to the finals and it seems like this team was just too exhausted from so many battles and injuries. Congrats to the suns, now let's see what's going on with kawhi and hopefully resign him
-
Fuck Pat Beverley. Congrats CP3.
But mostly, Fuck Pat Beverley.
Bout to get that Suns Hawks finals can't wait.

I don't even like Chris Paul, for reasons that were plenty on display in that game, but man even I got hyped watching him stick dagger after dagger into his old team. Especially when it turned Pat Bev into some kind of emotionally helpless child.
As a father of small kids, my first thought was "he needs a nap"
-
Wish we had this CP in the 2018 run, but all in all stoked for him. Also for Monty Williams who turned Phoenix around… scary team on both ends of the court.
-
Well, seems like there are 0 suns/bucks fans here, so SLAP can now collectively mourn the end of the season. See y'all next year

Chris Paul deserves a ring but if Giannis gets one he'll be a star at the level of KD and Lebron and he did what neither could do.
-
Suns one of the few teams in the league with a black coach and black GM that culture change was so swift (https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/banderas.png)
Right before COVID I was in that same arena watching them get blown out by the Kings in the first half (https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/unimpressed.png)
I was hoping Atlanta would make it since I have ties to that city as well, but I'll take a Monty Williams vs Mike Budenholzer coaching matchup any day of the week (https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hubie.png)
Chris Paul deserves a ring but if Giannis gets one he'll be a star at the level of KD and Lebron and he did what neither could do.
ehhh, I like Giannis but he's still got a ways away before he's KD/Lebron level. He's physically dominate for sure but until he develops a half court game and becomes a reliable free throw shooter he'll always be susceptible to coaching fuckery in a playoff series. He's fairly one-dimensional in that regard. Some of his one on one iso's against Blake Griffin in the Brooklyn series were laughable at best. Dude just spams the the NB2K Turbo+spin move cheese, he's like Dwight Howard with handles on offense
I don't even think he needs a true jumper like that dude just needs to be a 70% free throw shooter and have a couple go-to post moves to create his offense when things tighten up. He gets that and I could bump him up a tier, but I'm sure he could give a shit what I have to think (https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/ehh3.png)

Jrue looked like a totally different player tonight. Suns banking on Giannis to miss free throws didn’t pan out. I was losing hope after game 2, but if they keep bringing the heat, I could see a tight game 7.
-
I didn't have a dog in this fight until i bet on the Suns, and now as the Suns' #1 fan, i'm worried after game 3. Ayton getting into foul trouble is death - Giannis may actually eat Frank Kaminsky alive right there on the court with a big napkin tied around his neck.

Giannis morphing into Steve Nash at the FT line when it was most needed is actually nuts. Jrue finding a place where he can chuck bricks 5/6 games out of the series and still win on his defense and playmaking is nuts. Middleton being clutch as fuck all finals/conference finals is nuts.
Congrats Bux. Only one team beat them at home in the playoffs, so they should get the silver medal... checks notes... that's the yung Hox

We need shooters and Hield would be perfect. Westbrook will help LeBron with playmaking/scoring, but he can't space the floor/shoot 3s.

We need shooters and Hield would be perfect. Westbrook will help LeBron with playmaking/scoring, but he can't space the floor/shoot 3s.
I am confusion.
Yeah I'm honestly not sure about the fit on this one. Good for Russ getting another shot at glory. Do you think Beal is gonna get traded next?
-
I think he stays… for now. wizards cleared some cap space so maybe they try to sign some help.
I’ve always liked Hield. Would’ve helped space the floor better, but Russ will always be the high motor guy. Buddy is still stuck in basketball purgatory (maybe Sac is a little better this season tho)

As a Blazers fan im afraid that it's quite possible that Dame's time with the team is nearing it's end. This trade however will NOT happen.
Who is an equivalent superstar or has enough first round picks to entice the blazers to trade him though? Miami offering Duncan, Herro and Nunn with some picks isn't going to do it. Dame wouldn't go to Oklahoma city in exchange for all their picks. Who has the will and the capital to make it happen?
ben ain't going anywhere because nobody wants him and he'll fizzle out of the league. dame is worth something, ben ain't.
I don't know, he has a lot of valuable skills but he's got a poor attitude and mentality
there's plenty of dudes that just fractionally sit under his skills that have great attitude and mentality, so I'll stand by what I said. he may be a great addition to a team, but he's not a game changer and his resume isn't doing him any favors.
There's still no chance he's still on that team by the time the season starts. He won't survive another season in Philly. They'll throw garbage on the court every time he checks in
I'd be willing to trade for Simmons if the trade would be centered around CJ (the Blazers have to try to do more than tinkering around the edges this time) but there's absolutely no sense in trading Dame for him unless the Blazers want to start a full rebuild and Philly also gives up Maxey, Thybulle and like 5 future firsts. Even in that case i'd most likely prefer some other trade.

Clippers had a low key strong draft. Hope the three rookies get to see the floor this season!

some other trade like what though? It has to be a contending team (dame wants to win narrative) pretty much all the other contending/contenderesque teams don't have as much to offer

Totally, apparently they asked the warriors if they'd be willing to give them Wiggins, Wiseman and the two firsts the Ws had in the draft and golden state obviously said no.
I could maybe see them doing a wiggins/Wiseman trade without the firsts but the sixers don't have a ton of options.

Well basically a trade that doesn't involve Ben Simmons because i think Simmons without Dame makes no sense. If the Blazers end up having to trade Dame it should be a full rebuild -type of trade, not a trade that nets them a player who keeps their picks being in the top of the lottery for the next couple years.
Best would be to get picks that are from some other teams and promising players still on rookie contracts. I know it's difficult to make the salaries match that way but adding salary filler is alright for me if the picks and prospects are worth taking some bad contracts with them.
In any case if Dame ends up being traded im positive that Blazers will be the team losing the trade.

I like LeBron James basketball player and LeBron James Net Worth is $600 million in sports celebrities. He earned around $50 million in salary from the NBA and roughly $56 million from other endorsements.

Honestly, low key really excited for this upcoming clippers season. It's the best case scenario with the obvious caveat of kawhi missing the year because of his knee. Last season we got to the wcf for the first time ever, this year no kawhi so lower expectations, just another year of continuity with the core group of players and anything that happens with the young players and their development is just found money.
Also i have no idea what the fuck Chicago and Sacramento are doing with their backcourts. They're trying to do the 2013 suns that had like Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic and a bunch of ball heavy guards who all need the ball in their hands to succeed.
-
Sacramento is basketball purgatory… i don’t think even they know the direction they wanna go. #freeBuddyHield

Dinwiddie to the zards is a nice fit. I think he and Beal should pair nicely in that backcourt and they'll have plenty of shooters to dish to. Excited to see what their team looks like this year

The Philadelphia 76ers do not want Ben Simmons, least of all now that he has made it clear he doesn’t want them, either. Doc Rivers might be out proclaiming otherwise to anyone who’ll listen, but this grim tour is transparently in service of salvaging a stalemate between team president Daryl Morey, who is determined to win the press conference in any Simmons trade, and the 29 other teams in the league, who for a variety of reasons are not yet persuaded to cast off the negotiating leverage that comes from knowing your trade adversary has none of his own. While Morey sticks to his guns and Simmons remains technically a Sixer, the situation will continue to be just deliciously acrimonious.
Simmons wants absolutely nothing to do with his former coworkers in Philadelphia. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Saturday that a delegation of 76ers players hoped to travel last week to Los Angeles to “meet … and spend time” with their teammate, with the goal of improving a busted relationship and making it possible for Simmons to return to the locker room in the event that Morey is unsuccessful at working a trade. We’re not talking Furkan damn Korkmaz here—these were the real-deal heavy-hitters, the core Sixers who give the team its quality and identity. Simmons, in a delightfully clarifying move, urged them not to waste their time or money:
The core leaders on the 76ers — such as Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle — and most of the team were set to take a jet to see Simmons before being turned away, sources said. Multiple sources said Simmons didn’t want his teammates, some of whom he considers friends, to make the Philadelphia-to-Los Angeles commute out of courtesy because he won’t change his mind on wanting a trade.
The Athletic
It’s apparently not just his teammates and coaches that Simmons is working to escape. According to a hilarious report from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Simmons cannot tolerate 76ers fans and intends to never perform in front of them again as a member of the home team. I too loathe all Philadelphia sports fans from the bottom of my heart, but I am only willing to make that known publicly because at no point will I be forced to perform at my job while physically in the presence of 10,000 of them:
Ben Simmons is reportedly remaining firm on wanting out of the 76ers.
@WindhorstESPN tells @hoopscritic and @SamMitchellNBA that Simmons doesn’t intend on showing his face in Philadelphia again. pic.twitter.com/rVYY2kikgD
— SiriusXM NBA Radio (@SiriusXMNBA) September 25, 2021
Can you even imagine what will happen if Ben Simmons is forced to take the court for the Philadelphia 76ers in a regular-season contest at any point in the 2021–22 regular season? My God. The Philadelphia Inquirer has already published a scorched-earth Marcus Hayes column with the wonderful sub-header “Betrayed,” calling Simmons a “child” who is sacrificing “the greater good” at the altar of his own “entitlement,” and training camp hasn’t even started yet. This is all going to rule insanely hard.
The only downside is that I am forced by my own heroic, unblemished track record of pro-worker argumentation to admit that even Ben Simmons deserves to escape intolerable working conditions and pursue a better gig. He may hate and fear the act of putting a basketball into a hoop in a sport where points are scored by putting basketballs into hoops, and that may be a source of tremendous comedy for nearly all sports fans, but it would be cruel and humiliating at this point for him to wear the uniform of the franchise that all but put a “FREE TO GOOD FAMILY” sign on his back upon the occasion of an achingly regrettable new low point in his punishingly public life. Simmons is a 76er today not because the 76ers want Ben Simmons, but because they want the mightiest haul they can score while jettisoning Ben Simmons. Yes, that’s how the sport works, but you will note in the meantime that only Simmons is taking shit for wanting to dissolve this relationship. His crime, here, is declining to participate in a big humiliating performance. It’s disgusting and hurtful to me personally that I am now forced to defend him after having reveled so shamelessly in his professional failures.
On the other hand, to the extent that Hayes is correct about this all serving as a massive and disabling distraction for the 76ers basketball operation, I hope it goes unresolved for one thousand years

@PAWL & @camp chill yourself
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the dumpster fire that is Daryl Morey's leverage in this situation

Help us Maxey, you're our only hope.
no but fr if maxey doesnt become an all star in the next couple seasons we're big fucked.
Fuck Ben Simmons. How he can look himself in the mirror after choosing to not work on his shooting with
a legitimate professional after that meltdown is fucking beyond me, regardless of whether or not he'll play
for the sixers again. What a lazy shithead. I've probably worked more on shooting in my life than him, and
I'm not exaggerating, it was literally all I did before I got into skating. Fuck him, I hope he goes to Minnesota
or Cleveland and never wins shit. I will pay full ticket price to boo the shit out of him when I get the chance.

Maybe McCollum, but i honestly have no clue where he would end up. Maybe minny? They really held on to him for too long, in the hopes that his value would rise but it has only dropped since
-
all ben simmons had to do was put in effort for a few months. The sixers would have an easier time trading him and he could salvage SOME of his value. But nah here we are. Can't wait to be at that sixers home opener, that place is gonna be electric
That being said the games last night ruled and it's great to have the NBA back

i suppose he could be trying to devalue himself on purpose. wouldn't that be a smart thing to do? now people are saying instead of getting a damian lillard philly would get a cj instead. wouldn't you rather be playing with a damian lillard instead of getting traded for him? might work out in his favor is he's got ring fever right now.

i just dont see how this is the play. Like youre hurting yourself and the organization. Is it worth sticking it to an organization you hate if it hurts you just as bad, if not worse. I fully expect him to get suspended again and not appear at the home opener

To be fair, we're talkin about this same guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzo9_ndOHm0
don't think he knows what he's doing in any capacity. to me it feels more like an aaron rodgers scenario than a james harden one. in either case, i think the dude hasn't proved himself enough to be making moves like this.

i think sixers finna tear shit up. you havent heard
anything about the rest of the team and i feel like running a traditional pg and having tobias get

Agreed. I don't see him actually playing. He seems like he's trying to take the whole superstar empowerment thing to its absolute limit. Problem is that most people don't see him as a superstar or seem eager to get him on their team
-
Definitely not like the Rodgers or Harden situation as Simmons pales in comparison to their respective careers… i think we might see more of players asking out 1-2 years into their deals though. His agent has to be buggin out…
Embiid is entering his prime and it I’m sure it’s bringing distractions to the team. I’d play him and see what you can get at the trade deadline. Even if little return, at least you get his deal off the books.
The rockets looked abysmal holy shit…but I’m gonna trust the process.
Evan Mobley looked pretty good though. Very hyped basketball is back. NFL, NBA, October baseball… best time of the year.

yeah our spacing is like WAY better and having threats all around the court is top tier
our offense now is in the hands of everyone to make plays rather than ben or waiting on a bad ISO because the spacing is wacked. you can tell everyone is actively trying to get everyone involved which didnt seem like the case before.
Also Seth is ON ONE this year and looks so confident compared to last year where he looked scared to shoot. what were the mavs thinking getting rid of him hahaha

Are the Warriors for real this year? Don't call it a comeback but they are 12-2 as I write this, Steph has been godly, they've locked in defensively and they don't even have Klay back yet. Outside of them in the west there's the Jazz, who haven't looked exactly as good as last year. Nuggets, who've been great and when they get Murray back will be elite, but that might be a while away. Same with the Clippers when they get Kawhi back. Warriors are looking like easy finalists at this point in the year, barring an injury to Steph or whatever.

it is fucked but simmons is the one causing ALL of this. You can argue Daryl is at fault for not trading him but why would you get pennies on the dollar for him and for people who can't push the needle for the team.
Sure doc and joel had a couple back handed comments after a tough tough series and loss but that doesnt give him the right to just not show up with 4 years left on his 140mil contract. Going back and watching it the comments weren't as bad as people made it out to be. Then he tries to pull out all the cards to get paid but not play which backfired every fucking time. And at this point with Maxey playing as good as he is, ben is only hurting himself by not playing and atleast trying to get his reputation somewhat back.
Daryl sees alot of stars that might not be on their teams by next year so why wouldnt he just keep waiting if we are doing okay (i know tons of losses but we've been ravaged by covid for weeks now). As for the list of 30, im sure every team has these sorts of lists.
this whole situation is a shit show and i cant wait for it to be over

it's tough because tobias will get us 20/10 just about every night in his sleep, but the offense gets stagnant really quickly if he isn't moving the ball like everyone else. His bread and butter is getting a mismatch in the post and just going to work which is fine when it's against a smaller player but he runs into issues when trying to do it against equally sized players

Easily one of the most fun teams to watch so not sure what that means. One of (if not the) best offenses in the league finally healthy beat the Suns last night.....sorry I guess that's boring for some.

They both fit what we need both right now and potentially next season depending on PG and Kawhis return. Norm is absolutely what we've needed, a scorer who can pour in points quickly. This offense has been pretty bad and we've needed someone who can put up like 20 a night

I've been furious ever since i found out about the trade. Not getting even a single first rounder back is such a fucking joke. I don't even want to get into discussing it more, just typing these couple sentences probably raised my blood pressure by a lot.
-

Roco was actually playing well as soon as Dame and CJ were out. I have a feeling he hated playing with CJ especially.
He was making these subtle "it's great now that we're playing team basketball" jabs in interviews that seemed to be directly about not getting any touches on offense when CJ was dribbling the air out of the ball for 18 seconds.
Powell was a great fit alongside Dame at the 2 but because of this ridiculous three guard backcourt had to be played out of position for his entire tenure with the Blazers. It's an absolute steal for the Clippers.
And shaving tax for a billionaire so that she has more money to spend on illegal elephant bones is exactly what this is about. I can't wait for the organization to be sold. Fuck this.

I actually really feel your blazers pain. My grandma lives up there and loves Dame more than anything in this world and when i was living up there was when they were the roy/oden blazers before both of their knees completely exploded. I know there's not a lot to be excited about
-
bye bye CJ
edit: AND LARRY NANCE AND TONY SNELL
-
It just keeps getting worse..
They gave up a first for Nance six months ago and now got a single protected first back for both him and CJ. Im losing my mind here.
-
At this point im shocked if Dame hasn't asked out by next season.
-
Damn this is all about shaving salary. Think they kick the tires on Ben simmo one last time in the last couple says before the deadline? Also I'm gonna be in Portland this weekend if you wanna skate Burnside with me
-
And before anyone says anything, im fully aware that all this creates cap space for next summer. But who are the Blazers really going to get from the free agent market if they're trying to build around Dame for three more years?
What im most mad about is the amount of picks that all this brought back. Powell/RoCo trade actually pisses me off more than the CJ/Nance/Snell trade, even if i think the return was bad. They needed to get off of CJ's contract no matter what route they decide to go.
-
Also I'm gonna be in Portland this weekend if you wanna skate Burnside with me
Haha, that be awesome but i don't even live there. Im just a passionate Blazers fan from Finland who happened to pick a favorite team twenty or so years ago and has stuck with it through thick and thin ever since.

If there's one thing to take comfort in during these hard times, it's that the Kings stay around to remind me that things could always be worse.

Bro welcome to my life from 2013-20 before his ass got canned. So many horrible roster decisions and he's always horrible at adjusting on the fly.

I'll try and be brief
Russ originally signed a super max with the thunder on the heels of his mvp triple double seasons. However, in the wake of them trading PG for SGA and all of our (the Clippers) picks for the foreseeable future, the thunder realized that Melo was kind of washed and not old Melo. After a year of russ pushing the Boulder up the hill and not being able to break out of the first round, they traded him to the rockets for Chris Paul in daryl moreys high stakes game to ruin basketball with James harden.
Russ was still playing at a high level but they could not break through the ceiling to reach the finals, so russ was traded to the wizards in another bid to build around harden. Russ had a surprising bounce back season with the wizards and LeBron got his gm cap on and demanded that the Lakers mortgage their future and role players for russ's monstrous 45 mil a year contract.
Now people had long been speculating that based on russ' physical style of play and his failure to improve his shooting efficiency, that this contract was going to become one of the worst in basketball. As a result, teams had been playing hot potato with him to see who would be left holding the bag when his play began to decline.
That team happened to be this current Lakers team who jettisoned the shooters who spaced the floor to make LeBron and Anthony Davis's lives easier and helped them win a championship as well as not prioritizing players like Caruso or overvaluing the wrong players (refusing to include talen Horton Tucker in trade talks with SAC for Buddy Hield). It all combined to create this mess of a team. With Davis sidelined with yet another injury, it fell to russ, LeBron and Melo to try and carry the team in his absence. Unfortunately, all three of them have begun to show the effects of father time in their declining games as well as all three of them not giving a fuck about defense outside of flashy chase down blocks or risky steal attempts that lead to blown assignments more than deflections.
Now that LeBron is pissed and it's clear that this team is garbagé, the media has pointed the biggest finger at russ for his inefficient shooting, turnovers and horrendous defense.
to make matters worse, Russ; a player INFAMOUS for talking mad shit on the court and for rocking the baby after yamming it on other players, has taken extreme umbrage with his new moniker "westbrick" for his consistently off target jump shot and has been battling with fans and other players who are more than happy to pile on him after years of him doing the same.
Furthermore, Russell played at ucla and is himself from Los Angeles, making what he surely hoped was a triumphant homecoming in a bid to win the Lakers another championship, instead another layer of salt in the festering wound that is this current Lakers season
I know i completely failed in my directive to make it brief, but i thought it best to give the necessary context for why this season is SO disastrous
-
Naw that was perfect, I appreciate the write up. Makes a lot of sense, and fills abunch of gaps in my knowledge. The NBA is sure consistent with drama, keeps things entertaining.
It always seemed crazy to me how often superstars bounce from teams, compared to other leagues. But I guess when a few of the right players get together they can carry a team to the championship.
-
All the drama makes basketball so much more entertaining. Especially come playoffs time IE if Philly and Brooklyn meet.
And Russ doing that rock the baby thing whilst being down by 30 points is a Peak Westbrook bit lol

Also i can't wait for the playoffs with this clippers team. If we get one star back we have the potential to really make a mess for whoever we're up against. I think that's made this season so fun to watch, the fact that there are such low expectations for this team and we've consistently punched above our expectations

fr, only team i see stopping them from a chip is the nets. they got the west on lock tho for sure
bucks just arent the same without pj, or brook lopez. Plus with ayton playing as good as he is, and the addition of javal mcgee i dont think the bucks could stop them this year, not having decent big men is really what allowed Giannis to do what he did last season.

AI Topps chrome rookie card a holy grail. Theres an AI chrome refractor rated 10 on eBay right now for $250,000! Hopefully you have one of those. Started collecting again, have to be careful quite addicting.

not only that, but if he had gotten the second shot right when canada changed the mandate he would have been covered,
so its ongoing that he thinks he doesn't need the second shot regardless of playoff availability.
cant believe we traded mikal bridges man, fuck.

All i know is those Timberwolves are very good and watching them and the grizz get into a forest rumble is gonna be entertaining as fuck.
We really need kawhi to take this team to the next level. Our role players are solid but you need multiple stars to win in this league.
Also matisse is a total goofy

embiid should have won mvp and the NBA media hates him

MVP this year is a toss up, you can’t deny if Jokic wins it that it’s not deserved. The Nuggets are embarrassingly bad when he’s not playing.
I realistically don’t think the Nugs can pull off a first round upset against the dubs but I’m hoping they can at least make it a competitive series.

yeah he deserved it but his stats werent really that much better from last year (which if you win back to back it really should be THAT much better)

I'm not on here enough to really jump in with ya'll, and I know it's pretty much 100% Laker hate on here, but allow me to add to the Bill Simmons hate.
One of my favorite moments from the 2010 Lakers title was during that series, Bill Simmons had this ESPN live blog that he was doing. It was basically live tweeting during the game but on the ESPN mobile site at the time. He was prolific and was giving live commentary during each game of the finals. Given that he's a HUGE Celtics honk, he brought his dad to game 7 thinking they would win and celebrate. Celtics up 13 late in the game, Lakers look like absolute shit, and he's just going on and on about how great a moment this is for him and his dad, that they're going to see the Celtics win another ring and at Staples blah blah blah. Then as the Lakers slowly comeback, you can just read each single message and how heartbreaking each basket is to him. God, I drank those tears like they were the fountain of youth! It was glorious.
With that, I'm going to enjoy these playoffs without a team to root for and will just be able to relax without a dog in the fight and root for/against whoever. Really hoping Memphis makes a deep run. I saw Ja play 2 times this year in LA and a couple times last year also, dude is so much fucking fun to watch.

@DaleSr so what happened to your Clips?
https://www.instagram.com/p/CcZjpHCLAzS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Y’all been steady talking shit on my crappy Lakers all year. The irony in getting eliminated by players that we drafted (D’angelo/Pat Bev, Ingram/Nance Jr).
lol
-
??? Not a clippers fan but…
Clips made the play-in with a bench mob pretty much all year, Lakers were far far behind with their supposed playoff team…also, isn’t it worse for the Lakers that y’all ended up getting rid of all those players that ended up doing well? Anyways, it’s ok, I’m sure Pelinka will get the boot eventually.

Anyways, it’s ok, I’m sure Pelinka will get the boot eventually.
Clippers got a better team, coaching staff and front office. I’m not denying that at all. Just tired of all the trash talking the last decade from a team that’s never won anything.
Every time they play the Lakers they act like it’s game 7 of the NBA Finals and are always gloating, laughing, clowning us, etc. (Some of it is deserved, no doubt, but I’m over it tbh). I know a few Clipper fans irl and they all act like this. Not saying Laker fans aren’t annoying/obnoxious either.
LeGM/Klutch, Pelinka, Jeanie Buss, and Kurt Rambis don’t know what the hell they are doing. Clippers, as of now, are a better run organization. I’ll give credit where it’s due.
And I do miss some of our younger guys, but I’ll take a ring over “what if’s” any day (even if it’s a bubble title). The Lakers have a great scouting department headed by Jesse Buss, but are pretty bad at developing young talent.
And I got love for my leftist brother DaleSr, but we have that LA vs SD rivalry going on. At the end of the day, I love basketball and hoped that both of our teams would eventually meet in the playoffs. Here’s to next season and good luck to everyone’s teams who are still in it.
-
Feels bad man. Oh well. Knew shit was probably not gonna go our way when pg was out. Now that gives kawhi even more time to get his body right for next year.
And nothing personal @smokecrack , but we act that way for laker games because that is our championship, every other season outside of this current 11 winning seasons streak has been abject, brutal failure. SD curse continues, now only the padres can hurt me
-
It’s all love… i remember Silkyjohnson (think he has me on ignore though) and i going at it when Rockets vs Dubs battled in the playoffs. Some of my favorite times here ha
I’m glad we can all collectively hate bill Simmons. Dude definitely loves to sniff his own farts…

Gonna be a really interesting offseason for them. KD signed his 4 year extension, but does anyone think it’s possible that he’d demand a trade out of this shitshow? Do they fire Nash? Trade Ben? Plus, Kyrie will become a free agent. So many question marks for Brooklyn.

It'd be wild if the Mavs beat the Suns even though I'd rather have the Warriors play the Mavs. Should be a good game Sunday for sure.
Hopefully the Warriors can close this out at home and then take a couple of days off.

“I know what (the Heat) have. I get that, you can visually see that, athletically, and they’re big,” Rivers said. “I just thought that, I don’t know, I just thought that we had more.”
He later added: “So many of these guys, they give it to the city, they give everything they have. And sometimes it’s just not good enough. I came to the conclusion at the end of the game we were not good enough to beat Miami. I can accept that, and we just were not. And that’s a tough thing to say, but we were not.”
"I don't worry about my job. I think i do a terrific job, and if you don't then you should write about it."
Some choice quotes from doc last night. This man is allergic to taking responsibility for his failures.
bruh morey just came out and said doc will be back next year
I'm guessing the owners didn't want to eat his contract... f
straight up not gonna even watch. fuck them.
Embiid should request a trade tbh
I saw that, what a fucking mess. Morey in love with harden and doc in love with never adjusting

Serves them right. Fucking shit talking suns fans. Now does everyone understand the hell we've been through facing Luka in the first round the past two years?
Also Celtics v Heat is an old hate match that i love to see.

Luka had as many point as the whole Phoenix Team in the first half.
Unfortunately I don’t think Dallas has a chance against GS.

Man what a day. Really look forward to Mavs vs Warriors, seems like the Mavs shouldn't stand a chance but then that was also the case in this series. Brunson has become a reliable 20 plus point guy during the playoffs, plus another guy has been reliably going off every time alongside Luka, amazing to see.

Seriously. Can’t stand both of these teams. Living in San Francisco at the time when they started winning those rings. Their fan base so phony. With any sport, I can respect if you’re from a particular city , root for that city. Majority of Warriors fans are from somewhere else, not even basketball fans & just hopped on the wagon. Really wanted the Heat to be in the finals. Gotta blame someone, so I’m blaming Tyler Herro. Hope he takes this very seriously. Weight train, condition, rehab, work with a trainer non stop, whatever needs to be done to make your young body better. Your team needs you

Their super team era not a fan which is a lame argument because it’s the super team era now. Mainly, I’m from the west coast so east coast teams all sports especially Boston & New York always been suspect. I respect Brad Stevens though. Nice to see a young individual have this level of success when many doubted him
edit: I agree with you that the Celtics has a real legit fan base

I was living in Boston when they got Garnett and Allen after years of mediocrity. Bandwagon fans exist and they try and use “my dad and I used to watch Larry Bird” as a way to deflect that criticism.
Name one 90s Celtic player who isn’t Paul Pierce is the good gatekeeper question.

To my eye, an obvious visible difference between game 1 and game 2 was the quality minutes for Big Mitten the Yung Glove. Other than Horford and White not shooting like Ray Allen, obviously.
I thought Game 1 looked kinda flukey so I bet Dubs to win the series after game one +160, but who knows. The Celtics have been the kings of looking hapless one game, only to come out the next like mf juggernauts
Klay might wake up at some point

Lol I got the same bet, it’s back to even odds pretty much so looking smart now. I def think the Warriors need to win one of the next few games in Boston tho which may be tough, but I also don’t see Boston hitting 3s like they did in game 1 two times in a row…

I said that too when the Mavs beat the Heat when Lebron made their super team. I mean I get it. Everyone has a point of view from a different fan perspective. For Warrior fans, the one in 2015 was insane cause we have been in a shitty losing season for years and years. Every other NBA win has been icing on the cake. Even this series if they lose, it is totally fine. Just the idea of them bouncing back after only 3 years is a win in itself and it will continue even into next season.
Anyways, next game is huge for the Warriors as we need a W in Boston.

I feel like the Warriors would've won game 1 if they had given the Mitten minutes. He's played big minutes ever since and has been tremendous. Never seen a 6'2" guy play so big, he slides around in front of his guy like his pops but also he can jump through the roof and even hit some jumpers
Feeling good about my warriors bet but also still conscious of the Celtics feast-or-famine swings. Both teams play defense at an insane level so it's hard to be confident in offensive output either way

Not as cringe as everyone pretending Kobe was a sweetheart prince just because he had an untimely death
Let’s not forget that
- Kobe gave himself his own nickname
- Kobe snitched on Shaq to the cops when he got arrested for RAPE (which is worse snitching than DAngelo Russell ever did)
- His defense lawyers doxxed his accuser and acted pretty aggressively in order to force a settlement.

Anyone looking forward to the draft? I know a few of you guys have teams with top picks. Is the slender boy too slender for the nba? Is paolo really good or another t rex armed Julius Randle? Will jabari and his wet ass jumper go #1? Will Sacramento trade their pick to someone else?
Also in other news, kyrie Irving continues to make more problems for himself and his current team as the nets and he have "reached an impasse". I keep seeing rumors that he's connected to the clippers, which i say "no fucking thanks" to

I hope he goes to the Clippers bc I hate the clippers with a passion
My theory on Kyrie is that he is super jealous of Kaepernick in that CK was able to stand up for something and be persecuted for his righteous stance. I think Kyrie has been trying to be a Kaepernick, a Tommie Smith/John Carlos, a Muhammad Ali not going to Vietnam but has been left with some less than ideal causes to take up

true – i meant locker room thing, like a problem if wall will want/expect to start and reggie is like "nah". if he looks good could be swell to have wall off the bench vs second units, more all-star type vets should do that when ring chasing
anyway maybe they'll duke it out in training camp for the starting spot, old school style lmao

And the Nets blew up a perfectly functioning team to get these loonies on their team. It’s like they wanted to make the Garnett/Pierce trade look like genius moves
-
KD on Miami sort of make sense. Plus the city suits him more so than Phoenix. So funny to see Brooklyn go through this all. I actually liked the team they had when D-Lo was there. Had no reason to hate them till Kyrie and KD went there.
-
Turns out putting kd and kyrie together doesn't negate their soft personalities better but makes them far worse. Fuck em both. Absolute clowns

Backing this. They have to change franchises to be impactful? Soft! And if they somehow both land in LA the Lakers will be the most hated team of all time. I love the player empowerment movement, but hate LeGM.

I have no idea how this kd/kyrie saga will end but I'm loving every minute of it.
Love the schadenfreude of the sixers solidifying while the nets go through a worse version of our last season
existential crisis. Cherry on the top that because they have simmons they can't trade KD for anyone signed to a rookie five year max extension.
ALSO i have no idea what the fuck the twolves are doing but i know it won't work. 4 firsts for gobert! comedy!

Don't forget the swap and their 2020 and 2022 first round selections, also 3 rotation players, just to be the jazz 2.0.
Those 3 superstars on the nets, for different reasons will ruin this player empowerment thing for everyone. Also kyrie just opted in, at least give it a try KD you created this whole mess and now you wanna leave cmon
Your sixers surprised me in a good way pawl, a lot of good signings so far. If harden gets in shape and KD goes to the West I could see philly making the ecf
-
If he goes to Phoenix he will have joined the team with the league's best record twice in his career.
NBA really needs to do something about the "contracts" thing - people are giving up more first rounders/swaps in trades than ever and guys are asking out with 3 or 4 years left on their deal, it's gotta break at some point.
How are you supposed to build a team in that situation?
-
I'm honestly very pleased with all these insane trades because it makes the pg trade look tame
-
My league wide knowledge has been in decline for many years, but is Gobert filling a hole the TWolves actually need?
I’d just be glad to be Rudy getting out of a place where as global warming shrinks the Salt Lake, arsenic is being released into the air in the city

Exactly where i stand… Signing a mega deal only to want out after a season or two. I’m all for power back to the players, but it sets a scary precedent..
@Atiba Applebum it was a bad deal for Minne imho. Gobert certainly helps them immediately (Minnesota was like middle of the pack defensively i think), but all that draft capital is a steep price…

Gobert is going to be the defensive presence in the paint. Kat doesnt really play defense and since he can shoot from 3 pretty good he wont clog up the paint. This is a good trade if it was 10 years ago but idk how they will make it work today.
-
That’s fair. Although Kat spreads the floor, dunno even with Golbert (and Edwards) can they beat the dubs?
I mean kudos… smaller market team going all in.

Like I said in another thread - Simmons is the AO of bball

wonder if the nets will keep ben simmons and add even more shooting around him (patty mills, seth curry, joe harris, cam thomas, royce o'neal) if they end up trading KD & kyrie. just put simmons at the 5 with 4 shooters, fuck it
i'd def ask for cam johnson & miles bridges from the suns tho if KD end ups going there, maybe send deandre ayton to the pacers, myles turner to the nets. all shooting baby!
-
also kinda wish the wolves had gone after dejounte instead of rudy. just get some dude at the mid-level to run around and block shots (bismack? javalae? nerlens?) and swap in dejounte for d'angelo
i guess we'll see what these wolves look like. unless ant man takes a major leap tho it kinda feels like they're destined to be the jazz now: good regular season team that gets exposed in the playoffs
-
KAT at the 4 Rudy at the 5, but is that gonna be able to keep pace with the warriors small ball ha? Rudy can’t really shoot jumpers…. Utah 2.0 is a good analogy.
It’s like at least the AD-Boogie tandem they were both athletic (boogie pre Achilles injury) and could shoot it from all over…

meh i'm not convinced poole is anything more than a jamal crawford type that thrives in golden state's spacing. he doesn't play d and got played off the floor in the playoffs. and it took wiggins 8 years to grab a rebound. this was his peak. it'd be insane to me if the dubs maxed him out
that said i don't think the nets would do it for just these guys and all the picks, they'd prolly want moody and/or kuminga

ya i just meant money-wise they can still make it work without DA, then you haggle over the details
saw the nets didn't want ayton anyway, so sending him elsewhere would've been the move (DA to the pacers, turner to the suns? etc). anyway seems more than likely KD is staying put, poor guy

Fair Question - where does Duncan fit? I’ve never seen Russell play and I’d almost like to put him in a pre-merger list since that NBA experience is apples to oranges to modern NBA (late 70s - present). I could be talked into putting Duncan in his slot in that case or am i overrating a perennially underrated talent?

-Pelicans looked Amazing. Zion playing bully ball (while double teamed!) with Ingram getting whatever shot he wants is going to be a problem for other teams
- Detroit looks really good, shame that they might tank again
- Charlotte SHOULD tank for the French dude but won’t because last time they tanked they ended up with Micheal Kidd-Gilcrest.
- Even though Knicks lost, they showed that they have some sneaky depth and versatility where the best dudes don’t have to be hot every game. Biggest problem is Derrick Rose is still their only consistent dude.
- Lakers are pretty fucked unless they trade AD. Sounds counter intuitive but that’s the only piece they have that can lead to some roster depth.
- The warriors drama is overblown, Draymond will leave after this season but who cares.
-
Clippers get the win but Holy shit what a slog
-
Clippers get the won but Holy shit what a slog
Carpetbagging ass Clippers. Don’t really care that they won, doesn’t sting like it did once. As long as the Warriors have this roster, what’s the point of being kinda good.

Nah both LA teams have a chance against GSW if rosters are healthy (Lakers trading Russ for shooting of course). AD is a real problem. Maybe you should just trade him, keep Russ and all the garbage shooters and quietly tank for the french dude.

Oh you’d be assuming we own those picks. I believe lakers don’t have picks until 27 and 28, which is usually what they’re asked for in addition to Westbrook but Lakers won’t give them up.
French dude is definitely going to go to a very unexciting destination. Wizards feel right as a team (but city is kind of too big) but I have no idea if they’re bad enough to get that pick
-
Sixers got a rough draft for the first two games. Harden is looking a bit washed, but I’m excited about Maxey.
-
i wish i could have that outlook. instead i think harden looks great (he dropped a 30 piece last night on one of the stingiest defenses in the league), jo looks awful and we fucking SUCK

Luka 41 point triple double plus the second time in a row that both Durant and Irving score 37+ and the Nets still lose, good times

The midpoint on the spectrum between Ben Simmons won’t shoot and Westbrook won’t stop shooting might be an ok player

Holy shit the nets are such a joke. What a clown organization from top to bottom. Trade for mentally broken 6'10 pg who can't shoot, hand reins of leadership to a fake smart racist and an all time great with a petty little spirit and Twitter fingers, fire your head coach and hire someone who sleeps with people underneath him in the org, have your owner lightly chastise your stupid racist pg over Twitter but have no real consequences or fines even though your team is in a borough with the most jews per capita outside of Israel. Fucking embarrassment. And all this for a 2-5 record.
-
With no picks neither lol (2012? Same when they traded for Garnett and pierce for all their picks). It’s glorious…
-
They crowned Steve Nash way too early. Granted, he inherited a dumpster fire of a roster.

Going to enjoy hate watching them. The press conference clip was fucking insane and I won't give it more views by sharing it here. The Nash firing completely falls on his relationship with KD. KD is an amazing player but his ring chasing and trade demanding is wack considering he "put that team together".
Fuck the Nets!

Huh??
My theory on Kyrie is that Colin Kaepernick broke his brain. I think Kyrie really sees himself as the guy who would do something like Kaepernick did and Kyrie would love to have been a martyr for a cause and lose his career over it. Kaepernick already took the legit racism cause which in NFL is a much bigger stand to take than in the NBA, so Kyrie has spent the intervening years trying to find a cross/cause to die on, but unfortunately he’s too stupid to find a worthy/real one

I know you all hate the Lakers on here but...headed to my first game of the year tonight. At least I get to see Zion in person. Hoping he didn't eat his way out of shape last night while here in town and he plays a full game. How nuts are the standings right now? I knew after last year the Lakers were in for a major struggle this year but no where did I see the Clippers, Warriors, Sixers and Nets all struggle mightily while teams who actively looked like they were in the Wembayama sweepstakes are killing it (looking at you Spurs/Jazz). I realize it's way too early and most of those will come back while the Warriors will figure it out, but still wild to see the changing of the guard. I would fully welcome a random finals of the Pelicans Vs Atlanta just for a total wild change of pace (knowing of course that my Lakers will be on the outside of the play-in again).

It was surely a fun one. I've not seen a ton of buzzer beaters (to go to OT or end the game) so that shit is amazing in person. I did tell my homie who I took to the game "Matt Ryan is getting this shot, hope he gets a clean look" because once they inserted him, it seemed like they would double Bron and leave one random scrub open. He's pumped he hit that shot, must feel so fucking good after how bad the whole team has shot all year.

Sounds like an awesome night. I'm not exactly a Lakers fan but it was hard not to be pumped for them in that moment. It's also always great when a bench player get a moment in the limelight.
Meanwhile, over at the Nets... Too bad that Steve Nash got caught up in this mess on his first coaching gig, he deserves so much better.

He’s got enough cache that he’ll land on his feet. I look it as them freeing Nash. There’s nothing he or anyone else could do. What a fucking poison pill it was to gut your overachieving roster to load up on the biggest malcontent stars of the last severa decades. I wonder if they even have their draft picks

Right, but he also has played 182 games since that second ring and forced a trade from the Spurs after sitting out for a season for debatably health reasons (at least that’s the story the Spurs were putting out there).
Not denying he isn’t an amazing basketball player when he’s playing, but he seems to go for long stretches of not playing but doesn’t get the same level(or any) guff about jt

Great performance by Luka last night. I’m still getting a ‘James Harden, but white’ vibe from him though. He’s a little too shit on defense for me to put him in the MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Bird realm. Also like 3-4 things that last stretch went completely sideways for that game to turn out the way it did.

I mean, much as I hope you're wrong there's no denying that this is a distinct possibility. (I'm kind of happy that he'll have to renegotiate in the summer.) As to the apex, maybe (to be seen?), but he's been playing extremely well this season.
Trade hurts the Mavs defensively though, so here's to hoping Luka can keep the 50 + point games coming

I mean it's obviously the apex of his career. He hit a shot that put away the greatest regular season team of all time and helped complete the only comeback from being down 3-1 in finals history
The next year they got gentleman swept by the warriors and he demanded a trade and hasn't been to the ecf since

Cliff scored us 6th row tickets center court for the Bucks game Thursday. Those were gifted to him, otherwise we might consider selling them on the secondary market honestly. Our tickets are going for $7000/each currently.
For such a disaster of a Laker season, at least I'll have something to cheer for.

There's not a lot to get pumped about for the team this year AND this is one of those moments where you know EXACTLY when the record is going to be broken for the most part. It's a lock either Tuesday or Thursday (most likely Thurs) and it happens to be at a pretty nice matchup with the Bucks. Since it's LA people can afford to just gouge everyone. I was really hoping that he was going to have 2 big games in New Orleans and NYC so that he would be like 20 away for the OKC game. I would have probably told my homies sorry, I'm listing these for $2500/each and sell 3 of them and go solo...ha.

Reminded me of when Peyton manning broke the all time passing yards record. He was sucking that game, they were behind and finally moving the ball and stopped the game mid drive to celebrate it. Peyton was pissed because he wanted to just keep playing, then I think within a few plays he was sacked or threw for negative yards to put him back in 2nd (which didn’t last long but still lol).

You often see it in baseball which tempo-wise makes a little more sense.

Having a Drake skit in the middle of the game playing side by side is the exact type of corny shit that we love about LeBron. The fact that it also was in a losing game against a team that's also outside of the play in is the cherry on top.
Seriously though LeBron is one of the best ever, congrats to him for breaking what many thought was an unbreakable record. Corny or not, what he's done is undeniable

The saddest irony is that they blew up their starless team with great chemistry and potential to go super team hunting with 3 of the biggest malcontents you could pick and then swap one of the out later for one who’s an even bigger problem
-
I mean that Nets team with “potential” was a second round exit at best and it was 100% worth the risk to blow it up for Durant/Kyrie at the time.
I’m just hoping the Nugs can brave this storm of Mavs getting a second star, Lakers addition by subtraction and potentially the most stacked roster in the Suns we’ve ever seen. Theyre still the top dogs in the West and should still be the favorites but any one of those (or the Pels/Clippers/Griz) could take them out in 7. Gonna be a gauntlet in the West if everyone is healthy.
-
In a bizzaro world those guys stay healthy and there’s no off the court stuff then yeah it was worth it. Maybe they make a run. It’s just insane they were only able to play what 30? 40? Games collectively lol
The rockets own their 1st rd picks until 2027, so of course this is pleasing. Not sure the point of tanking in that sense. So what’s next maybe they shoot for a play in spot?
Even after the trades, i still think the nuggets are the best in the west…

I think I read KD and Irving played 72 together. Not sure how many with Harden, too.
I personally wouldn’t have blown up that Nets team for stars like that. But I get the marquee attraction. It’s why my team went with Westbrook instead of players that could make the team better like deRozen or Buddy Hield.

Was there at the game and it was a pretty electric atmosphere. But...they did the same damn thing when Kareem broke the record back in 1984. He hit the hook and they stopped the game and did a speech and all that. It's awkward as fuck. I thought hitting it at the end of the quarter was actually the best case scenario. Imagine 3 min left and it's a close game? That would have been way worse. Of course the Lakers blew the game horribly and semi-ruined all our good feelings but seeing the shot go down on his first try at the record was beauty.
Now just praying that those Russ Westbrook rumors to the Clippers come to reality!

For sure. I wish they’d go back there hah
I used to hate the clips in mid00s because it was the team people around me rooted for bc they hated Kobe (no word what they would have done if Kobe actually went to them). My own personal stance on Kobe is different, so I can’t fault anyone too much now, but it felt like annoying contrarian stance (which is usually the ground I occupy)
Then I hated them when I moved to LA bc it is the only franchise I’m aware of the exists totally to appeal to people that have moved there/aren’t from CA bc they want to see live basketball but are morally opposed to being lakers fans.
Pepper in stuff here and there like Blake Griffin winning the Slam Dunk contest over the hood of a KIA, getting Chris Paul after Stern fucked us out of landing him (though in a long view it’s probably a make right for the 2002 Game 6 WCF) and Donald Sterling being a well-known POS looooong before the scandal.
The game I sat courtside for was Sixers vs Lob City ten years ago. That was a fun one.

All contract, right? He's had little bursts, but that's not been the norm.
LeBron's been out since setting the record. Would be funny (not haha funny) if he got shut down for the season 2 points after setting the record.

Getting really sick of PG and Mook's shit. I really wanted Mook gone at the deadline and I'm over Paul's lack of aggression or fire. We didn't have any of the new additions tonight so the loss is expected, but that means we need pg to be a leader and he has been repeatedly failing in that role all year
All contract, right? He's had little bursts, but that's not been the norm.
LeBron's been out since setting the record. Would be funny (not haha funny) if he got shut down for the season 2 points after setting the record.
He earned a lot of respect for battling the suns by himself after Kawhi went down but this season he's been settling for way too many jumpers and isn't driving into the paint as much as the team needs

Ja should be afraid of the Celtics. The way the grizz are playing they should be afraid of themselves too.

He doesn't have much NBA experience. he's pretty undersized but has been shooting the lights out this season. pretty sure he was the Gleague MVP last season too, so hoping he gets a real chance in the League soon.

Kevin love to the heat. I think we going to sign zeller too. Wish we had an upgrade on Lowry but maybe Oladipo can get healthy and step up

but maybe Oladipo can get healthy and step up
how long have we been saying this now? :'(
kinda excited about love to the heat. hopefully his shooting can improve a bit since his injury. woulda been more excited for russ but oh well. not really expecting anything crazy this year - probably a 2nd round playoff exit if we're lucky.

Time to panic? Lose four straight since Russ joining yikes. And Mavs downfall in due time. Been watching more games lately been years. Good times. Realized Tyrese Maxey & Darius Garland are some my favorites of newer school. Excited to watch more games….

Clippers are fucking done. Tear this shit down. Team has no heart, no fire, PG keeps bringing his bozo friends in and has checked out. Ty phoning it in keeping Mook's bum ass out there. Fire Ty, send PG wherever, if Kawhi wants to hang around (doubtful) keep him, otherwise, send out the stars, get what we can in return, build around the kids and build a new culture cause this one fucking sucks.

I think they need some time to gel and run at somewhat 100%, no? PG has to step up though…
Sigh i just want a competent basketball team to watch… it’s a joke how poorly the rockets are ran rn. Coach Silas is in simulation mode i guess… Jabari and Jalen denied the ball so they throw their hands up and pout instead of getting back on transition D…

Dame has been fun to watch. Haven't paid much attention to the season. Mostly seen Blazers and Bucks.
-
The Blazers have been absolutely miserable to watch for a while now. If you aren't a fan already or have masochistic tendencies, i would recommend to stay as far away as possible.
The way things are going we may end the season with 5th best lottery odds so all hope is not lost (until they trade picks and Sharpe in the offseason for some meaningless player like OG to compete for the 8th seed the next season).
-
I hope the Blazers get Wanayama. I really hope the Rockets don’t.

Lol me neither…. Not unless they get a new owner, new GM and an actual competent coaching staff… you have 19-20 year olds running around the court with no guidance or plan of any sort. #SaveVictor

Also, the Rockets squander all their fortunes and they’ve landed big fish over the 00s. I’d like a team like the Blazers to get a little bit of a blessing (wouldn’t even hate for Pop to get him either)

That’s fair. I definitely hope Portland lands him over San Antonio…
I’ve been watching clips of him recently. Man his size kind of scares me. When he crashes to the floor especially. I just keep thinking of Yao. Bulked up only for his feet and ankles to explode…Vic’s jumper and footwork are beaut though.

Fisher has 5 rings - the same years as Kobe.
I thought Michael Cooper got retired too, but it was Jamal Wilkes I was thinking of. I wasn’t conscious enough to know how big he was during the showtime era - Magic, Kareem and Worthy were always presented as the big 3.
So I guess Fisher isn’t a big enough star but he was a starter or sixth man for two Lakers championship eras and that second era didn’t take off until he returned to the Lakers after the Jazz released him bc his daughter needed medical treatment and allowed him to move to where it would be best for his family. That was the edge that helped pull them over the Celtics.
Maybe I’m just overly nostalgic about him bc of the .04 shot and the was the calm center during a lot of the circus Kobe v Shaq days. I def wouldn’t retire Artest/MWP, but Fish had a long and decorated Lakers career that seems deserving of it
-
shit you're right. i completely blanked that dfish came back to LA after that weird Golden State stint. 5 rings as the starting PG is definitely worthy of banner consideration. i guess his name just doesn't stack up to the others in the Laker rafters. at this point you really gotta be an all-timer to have your number retired for LA

Hah yeah. Outsiders do not get the Robert Horry love we have. And I def though Fish over Pau too bc I always found Pau frustratingly soft at the time.
The only two retired jerseys you never heard a ton of in Lakers lore are Gail Goodrich (who seemed to kill it in the Jerry West/Wilt era) and Jamal Wilkes who I mentioned earlier.

Hyped on my Knicks, hard to explain but this is the first squad I really feel ”connected” to since the 2000-01 season.
Also I’m about 70%-80% sure all the Morant stuff is some weird guerrilla marketing from Nike and his agent. Nobody is suddenly that dumb, they’re clearly trying to create a marketable persona. Expect an amazing commercial for his new shoe either right before playoffs or during the summer.

not sure how flexing a gun on IG live, hitting a 17 year old, and rolling with an entourage of people aiming guns at opposing team buses could be an effective marketing tactic. honestly feel like they're worried they just hooked up with Kyrie 2.0 lol

I’m not saying Nike gave Morant a .22, but they are definitely interested in marketing him as a Gen-Z John Wall that hoops like a bigger D Rose. IMO it’s naive to believe that the advertising branch at Nike isn’t salivating at how Ja’s controversy will play into the release of his upcoming shoe and clothing line.
Five things raise my eyebrow about this shit:
- Instagram live has been around for what, a fucking decade? Somehow the first pro dumb enough to show off a gun is coincidentally the same guy that’s been trying to brand himself as a tough guy for the past year?
- Nike never condemns his actions, they just support his obviously phoned in apology.
- Also Nike gifted him that stupid gaudy chain the weekend prior with the intent for him to show it off on social media (because why else would a shoe company gift a millionaire a chain?)
- They gave him the pro shoe after two of the four gun incidents already happened…the two that were actually threats with actual guns! While the pro model was in the works they confidently moved up the release window after dropping Kyrie knowing these things were floating around.
- While he’s is currently suspended, he’s yet to be fined by anybody, or is in any legal trouble over any of this, no arrests, not even reports on any out of court settlements. He’s lost more money arguing with refs, what kinda shit is that?!
This is a rollout on some Attitude era WWE type shit!

It’s definitely the strangest thing I’ve witnessed in the NBA in years… don’t think he was like that at all in college or his early seasons.

The Lakers have a standing rule that no one gets a retired jersey unless they're in the hall of fame. So it sucks, but Coop, Fish and Horry probably won't ever get their jersey's hung up. It's a hard club to be a part of! I loved Pau the whole time he was here and I actually had tickets for that game to go see the retirement ceremony that I had to give up (wife's grandma was in hospital so real life got in the way). I felt like we did Pau dirty at the end of his Laker career but he was always a gentleman about it all.

I thought that might have been the case - I don’t pay attention much to HoF and thought it must have been too early for Pau to be in there, but I guess he’s been retired for long enough…
Cooper I always imagined was retired bc of his being the only Laker with a DPOY but I’ve seen 21 used enough (Kareem Rush is the only one I can think of) that I should know better

Clippers suns will be toxic cause suns fans are the worst
But every LA BASED (not you Dale) clippers fan has the energy and wardrobe of the guy who ran into the team shop at halftime to grab all the apparel they could find so they can seem Day One
That's because there's maybe twelve real people that are mentally ill enough to be a clipper fan in the world. Me being the most twisted
Pre-Blake Griffin era I would have said yes 12. But it’s the team for the transplants here in the city and none of them would have had the strength to endure Olowokandi or any other of Elgin Baylor’s draft picks hah
Just out of curiousity, Dale, for a bit there were rumors that they would try to move down to OC and stake their claim. As a San Diegan, would that have affected your loyalties at all? Always wondered how SD views OC/LA
I absolutely hate LA, the OC would have been nice, going to games would be a little easier since being stuck in traffic on the way to dtla is hell on earth.
I like the clips mainly because they're an SD team originally. I know they're never coming back, so them staying in la or going to the oc wouldn't affect my Fandom since the move happened like a decade before i was even born. It was more personal when the chargers left

I'm honestly baffled by this situation. I have absolutely no clue how anyone can look at that sequence and come away with the conclusion that Sabonis instigated the situation, and Draymond only reacted and inadvertently stepped on Sabonis. Yet I've seen lots and lots of analysts say exactly that. Draymond is a professional athlete. He literally makes a living moving his body in a fast, precise and decisive manner. There is absolutely no way in hell he stomped down with his right foot and then transferred his whole bodyweight on that foot to jump off of Sabonis' chest without wanting to do so. It takes a deliberate action to that, as anyone who's ever jumped off of one foot should know. Can anyone explain why many people see an inadvertent action in this? Serious question. I just don't get it.
-
I watch quite of few talking head sports shows. All of them supported Draymond. Quite baffling.
Surprised The Suns won. During a couple stretches in the first half , felt like the game over already
-
yeah, not sure why everyone with a voice in the sports world is surprised/upset about the suspension. i figured it was pretty clear-cut.
the Suns couldn't miss yesterday. felt like they were 90% from mid-range lol. Clips still hung in there tho despite their bench never showing up

It's really deflating to think that this effort still just counts as a plain ol' loss. I think they held up valiantly against a team that on paper should have spanked them easily. I really hope Kawhi can play in game 4 and pick it up where he left off, then the Clips still have a good chance imo. I've been very impressed with their overall play in this series.

The injuries are definitely deflating, no doubt about it. They're mostly the result of bang-bang plays though iirc:
- PG: badly sprained his knee landing awkwardly after a rebound
- Giannis: fell on his ass and sprained his back committing a charge
- Herro: broke his hand diving for the ball
- Ja: sprained his hand committing a charge
- Fox: broken fingertip. Origin unclear, but bones usually break due to abrupt blunt trauma
- Embiid: sprained his knee landing awkwardly after a block attempt
- Jimmy: Bruised ass cheek. Origin unclear, but a bruise is usually the result of abrupt blunt trauma
- Oladipo: tore his patella tendon on a drive. No way to tell if overuse played a part in that, but he only played 42 games as a bench player this season, so overuse wouldn't stem from too many games.
Kawhi's injury is the only one without an obvious cause, and unfortunately that's just Kawhi being Kawhi. He'd still give Giannis a run for his money for best player in the league if he could ever stay healthy, but it doesn't look like that's in the cards anymore.
(AD is also limping around frequently, but I don't think I've ever seen a single game in which he didn't go down for a play or more with some minor thing or other, so I wouldn't account for that.)
To me it looks like this string of injuries is a combination of plain bad luck and a broken charge rule. Fix that and at least a couple of these injuries don't happen.-

wish embiid could ever get to the second round without having to wear a facemask or a brace or getting food poisoned.
fuck it tho, go hawks tn!

I'm very much looking forward to seeing the cavs play at the garden.

Over the series the Knicks had 29 more offensive rebounds than the Cavs which lead to 27 more shot attempts. That series was won on the boards, sometimes it's that simple. Even as a Knicks fan I'd argue that the Cavs were the better team on paper, but they obviously weren't ready for playoff basketball. It's still baffling that they traded away Kevin Love even though the series against the Knicks was to be expected, and the Knicks struggle mightily against stretch bigs. Turns out they're gonna see him anyways. I had hoped for a long series between the Heat and Bucks, but Jimmy did his thing. I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the Heat or more disappointed by the Bucks in that series. I'd say the Heat go into the second round as favorites despite being the lower seed because they can exploit the Knicks' weaknesses pretty ruthlessly, and because Randle is either going to be out or severely limited. Still fucking hyped for my Knicks to advance to the second round for the first time in 10 years. Maybe they can sign Melo off the street for a couple buckets in Randle's stead.
-
That’s what i saw, Knicks killed em on the glass outside of Mobley. But think the Cavs averaged only 93? Points or so. Coach Thibodeau is def more playoff tested than Bickerstaff.. hes 1-6 in the playoffs/play in. Mitchell Robinson balled out. 13pts 18 boards lol damn

Who y'all got advancing to round 2 in the remaining series? I'm positive the Dubs will complete the turnaround in 6, and Boston is gonna close out their series in Atlanta tonight. Grizz - Lakers is a tossup. I think LA either wins it at home in 6 or Memphis takes it in 7. Ain't no way the Lakers roster can pull off a game 7 win on the road with LeBron on one foot.

Always wondered who coined Jimmy Buckets..
“Stacey King gave me that nickname easily before I ever scored a basket in the NBA. So the nickname never really made sense. And then I started to score a little bit, and it started to come into its own. But Stacey King gave me that in 2011”

small ball Warriors torched LA. gonna be interesting to see what adjustments Ham makes going into game 3. AD gotta be more assertive moving forward and guys off the ball gotta cut when he catches to open up the floor. Reaves has been garbo too. Suns in a must-win tonight. KD and Book both gotta go for 40 and not let Denver hold the team below 90 again (obviously). also will be fun to see how Embiid bounces back. he's obviously injured but this is the MVP we're talking about. I expect a dominant performance at home from him. but i still think the C's will win. they have so much firepower and also have the most depth in the league. lastly, a bummer to see Bud let go weeks after his brother's unforeseen passing. gotta be rough. wonder who the Bucks will target. Nurse maybe?

Hell yeah Nuggets! Jokic remains untouchable. Almost made feel bad for the Suns though... almost.
Edit: Not sure why I wrote that actually, I kind of feel bad for Booker having the worst game of the season when it counted the most for two seasons in a row, and wouldn't have minded for CP3 to win a ring. But the Nuggets deserve it this year, hope they can pull it off.

sad bucks fan here reporting that my trip to milwaukee this weekend will be even sadder considering the friends i'm staying with and myself were planning on going to what we thought would be a bucks vs. celtics ecf.
if i had to bandwagon, i'd want to see harden get a ring or see jokic or the lakers take it in the west.
also shoutout the kings this season! a friend of mine works in the front office in sac and is having the best time!
He’s still having the best time? Has no one told him?!
i know you're clowning, but seriously, breaking the playoff drought was huge for them this season. de'aaron fox is him.
No Ill will towards the kings and I wish them success as long as it isn’t between them and the lakers. I hated that contending era, but have teams I hate more within the division

Celtics vs Lakers championship series would be crazy. Both have 17 rings, winner gets 18. Bring back the rivalry

No, but there’s barely any real reason to bust ass for wins in the regular season, and outside of my team I barely pay attention to regular season, and then tune in for the playoffs. One extra home game ain’t enough of a reward in the playoffs to incentivize overtaxing your players
Whereas every NFL game has huge stakes. A regular season NFL game between two shit teams on a Thursday gets better ratings than other sports’ playoff games
I love the “pick your opponent” thing also because it adds some spicy gamesmanship. The bucks would’ve picked the Nets I gotta think, C’s probably pick the Hawks, but hard choice for the Sixers, between Heat, Cavs, and Knicks

I think a temporary answer could be reducing the number of regular season games… putting an emphasis on actually winning your division. Or caring rather… similar to baseball when the division title comes down to the wire between two teams is fun as hell. Potentially Earning a “bye week”. I know there’s the play in, so that idea is probably a wash… but 60 games seems feasible.

The answer is a shorter season, roughly 64 games during the same time span but with no more back to backs, and you do away with the play-in. That way the players get more rest, and there’s more competitive urgency. The problem is the billionaire team owners will never sacrifice the ticket revenue for a higher quality product and would rather push a narrative that the players are assholes.
Edit: basically what the dude above me said.
-
There is no way in the world a sports league will ever reduce the number of games played.
I think this season is just screwy where you have lebron and curry in lower seeds who can turn it on in the playoffs and disrupt things. Boston and Denver’s post seasons have gone according to plan.
I just don’t see any competitive athlete having the takeaway after this post-season that it doesn’t matter how much they win in the regular season because their odds of success in the postseason are the same 1-8. Did anyone in the NCAA tournament feel that way when lower seeded teams went further than ever before?
-
Yeah, I think of the Hawks who tried to coast in the season following their ECF appearance. Feels like they lost at least a year of development by not being concerned in the regular season. Banking on one (possibly two) play in games won’t bode well for any team without a 39 year old Lebron.
Things also looked weird since the Bucks got bounced due to shitty coaching ultimately (which I feel like Bud losing his brother made him look worse than his usual mediocre self) and the Grizzlies lost Adams and haven’t looked the same since.
-
Find out who wins Wemby tonight. Hopefully it’s Spurs or Blazers bc I like Pop and Lillard and want to reward them.

I think in the NBA the mindset has shifted towards homecourt advantage not being worth the grind if that means you sacrifice your best players’ health for post season. You can tell that was the Clippers’ approach with the load management, for Miami to all of a sudden give a shit definitely shows some sort of posturing, and the Lakers definitely felt more confident playing Memphis instead of trying to get the 5th seed to play a Phoenix team that looked insane on paper.
Seeding matters more with NCAA hoops because the best 4 teams in college (probably with 3-5 future NBA players each) get to play the 60-64th best teams in the nation (that all have zero future NBA players), that’s a much greater skill gap than a 2 seed or a 5th seed in the NBA. And with a single elimination tournament, any crazy shit can happen so you want to control as much as possible.
But I would say the uselessness of the regular season has been in question since Popovich was sitting his starters out 15 years ago.

the players should force the owners hands lol get the union involved. Demand 60 or so games. Even worse when the team is charging premium ticket prices for a third string line up…
NCAA is one and done tourney though… in 7 game series maybe seeding, with lesser reg season games, will matter. Especially if you get a series off of some sort…
Maybe it’s a better product maybe not. Just seems like it’ll also reduce injury/fatigue..

only way the owners would agree to a shorter season is non-guaranteed contracts and players dont want that.
i do question the usefulness of load management, clippers got bounced fast and it feels like it was an unclear benefit to players like anthony davis.

It’s hilarious how well the Draft Lottery worked out for Wemby.
What will be interesting is how Charlotte picks. Scoot seems like the obvious pick but his skill set overlaps with Lamelo’s. Then there’s Brandon Miller who might be a better fit, but his off court drama becomes an issue when they are also trying to quietly bring Miles Bridges back. On top of MJ trying to sell most of his ownership. It’s going to be a crazy summer.

Take scoot and trade Lamelo. I don’t think much of any Ball Family member and think his ceiling is similar to Trae’s, but before he’s exposed, get some actual players you can assemble a team around

Outside of Wemb and Scoot, i think this draft will be total crapshoot… hence the stress over the order.
There’s a video of wemby stoked that the rockets got 4th. can’t really blame him. We’ll be much better overall next season, but the Spurs he’ll be the man. They’ll build around his strengths like they did with Duncan.. the Parker connection, Championship pedigree, and Great basketball development.

If my Lakers can't figure Denver out, then I FOR SURE want to see a Jimmy Buckets vs Joker finals. The ratings among non-NBA heads will be trash but the basketball for true fans will be fucking epic. Joker is playing on such an unreal level that it doesn't matter who guards him at this point, he's just gonna do whatever he wants and Jimmy just has some magic skill to pull from in the playoffs I almost can't believe when it happens.

Still riding high on the Nugs, can’t believe the same core that played game 83 and lost a close one to just barely miss the playoffs vs. the Jimmy Butler TWolves back in 2018 is now in the Finals. Also poetic considering I became a full on Nuggets fan after giving up on the Bulls for trading Jimmy and GarPax being pieces of shit (at that point I was also goin to 8-10 Nugs game a year and they’d been my second team since like ‘09 so it wasn’t exactly overnight).
Even last night I was still nervous that the Lakers could come back. Jokic getting back to back charges and playing on 5 fouls was terrifying. Their D stepped up when it needed to and what an awesome stop from AG/Murray to close it out.
I think they’ll match up well against either team at this point, but the Heat and Himmy scare me. Hoping the Nugs talent and the Moach being a capable coach can get them to the promiseland.

As a casual, I can’t really root for the Heat over the Nuggets as it would be the Nuggs first Championship and Miami has never had a drought for too long thst I feel bad for the fans

I’m not worried for the Nuggets though, both Celtics and Heat have played badly for about 50 per cent of the series

Yeah, they might be rusty game 1 and blow it because they’ve had so much time off, but it’ll be shocking if they don’t do the damn thing. Anyone catch the stats on 8th seeds being in the actual Finals?
Edit: 95 Rockets, 99 Knicks only other 8th seeds

The Rockets were the 6th seed in '95, the Heat are actually the second-ever team to make the finals as an 8th seed. Plus the '99 season was shortened to 50 games due to the preceding lockout, so they're the first ever to make it after a normal regular season. Hats off to the Heat, that's an incredible feat.
I'll be shocked if they win it all though, Denver is going to be the most well-rounded team with the best individual player they've faced so far. Boston's lack of ballhandling has once again killed them, that's not gonna happen with Denver.

Game 2 was the most fun i've had watching a game as a neutral in a while. Loved the lack of timeouts down the stretch, it was intense.
Kinda rooting for Miami now if only so the Hawks can hang a banner commemorating that they fucking waxed the 2023 champ in the play-in

Same… especially when it’s two likable teams. Can’t ask for a better finale to that ball game. I thought that final 3 pointer from Murray was going in… would’ve been nuts.

I’m loving that “Trust the Process” is becoming a rallying cry in European football. If only they knew it’s Philly origins and how that never really came close to panning out

Good lord that game was fun, two 30 point triple doubles for the Nuggets and Jokic getting his second 30/20/10 game this postseason when it’s only been done by two other players EVER. Absolutely electric performance for the Nugs. Just need two more!!
-
What a brickfest but who cares
Not sure what I'm more excited about, that the Nuggets really won a championship or that Porter Jr. actually hit a 3!
Gotta love Jokic, his humility is for real. 'How do you feel? Well, I'm glad we got the job done, now we can go home' ;D
Congrats Nuggets, long time coming indeed
-
thank you Denver for exposing Jimmy Buttler as the fraud he is.
dude benefits from low-to-near no expectations during the regular season, so anything he manages to achieve in the post-season is "stupidly locked in".
never forget when Bryn Forbes outscored him when they got swept by the Bucks ;D
-
HOLY FUCKIN SHIT THEY DID IT!!!! LET’S GO NUGS!!!!!
Just another day for Jokic with 28/16/4 and lead all players in the playoffs for points, rebounds and assists. Seriously the whole team was awesome tho. Maple curry scoring and playmaking all series. MPJ shot awful but made up for it with rebounds and solid D. Braun and Brown bringing the energy from the bench.
After like 3 years knowing they could be the best team in the league if healthy it’s incredible to see it come to fruition. Also Denver is poppin of rn time to go back out!
Edit to add: awesome to see Deandre Jordan get meaningful minutes and keep them in it when the refs were on their bullshit. That Butler 3 pt foul was garbage but it didn’t matter.
Nugs in 5.

Jokic vision is just crazy… he had a crucial steal in the late 3rd? Heat had back go back turnovers. That switch defense is a beauty to watch…
Heat looked gassed. Couldn’t buy a bucket. And the Nuggets are too damn deep. Congrats to the champs.

Jokic is prime Larry Bird and prime Arvydas Sabonis rolled into one.

Spread gamblers everywhere would disagree. Jimmy, in the midst of a horrific game, dug down deep and scored 13 straight points to secure that sweet, sweet cover.
Thank you Jimmy, heart of a champion

Former Sonics fan (RIP Bring ‘em back!), now Suns fan since I’ve lived in AZ the past 12 years. Happy for the Nuggets, sloppy but exciting game 5 to end it last night. These Nuggets remind me a lot of the great Spurs teams. Not predicting a repeat but I can see them getting 1-2 more championships with this team.
Hoping Suns add some depth to the team for next season. I’d rather have 2 stars with a lot of good players as apposed to 3 superstars and no depth on the bench. Should be an exciting offseason! Football will start to be my focus. Skate on in the mean time dudes!

It's such an entertaining show, I'm pumped for season 2. I already know the history and what's going to happen but I'm still 100% sold on it because it's got great character development and good writing. And if the real life guys are bummed, then you know it's probably a little too close to the truth. Jerry West, god love him, has always been a salty motherfucker so this characterization of him can't be too far from reality. That's why he's pissed.

I’m starting to read Three Ring Circus by the same author of the Showtime book. I’m pretty tapped out on all things Shaq/Kobe, but maybe there’s some interesting tidbits about the Lake Show era leading to that first title.
I know there was talks of following Riley in a sequel series based off the Blood in the Garden book about the Knicks (unless Spike Lee decides he wants to do something with that)

This thread is slipping. Not one mention of the Porzingis/Smart move or is it just the East Coast is asleep and didn’t see it?
Also, completely forgot Porzingis is on the Wizards. Seems like a year late for them to be doing all that they’re doing. Are they the NBAs most forgettable franchise?

The fuck, didn't see the Celtics trade Smart
This is good for Memphis though, right? When Steven Adams (and Ja) are back that's gonna be a good squad
Porzingis is apparently coming off an excellent season even though I didn't see any of it
-
Porziņģis on the Celtics is dub. Sad to see Smart go tho
-
Grizz starting two DPOYs could be cool
I'm just waiting to see what color Smart's hair will be

I thought it was straight up Porzingis for smart… was so confused at first. Washington def going full tank mode…. Kuz opting out.
I think that’s a good move by Memphis. Brooks gone so they go get a better defender..
@exlurker half navy half royal? With Yellow stripes…lol

CP3 to Warriors for Jordan Poole. Freeing up salary to re-sign Draymond or CP3 stays?

I think it's smart. Keep the kid motivated, I love Maxey too, but we extended Simmons too early.
I'm cool with waiting till next summer. Let's see if he makes another leap. And, honestly..he should want that too. If he makes an All-Star team this year more 💰 for him.

Florida doesn’t have a state individual income tax, which is great for the contract he signed in Portland.
Miami’s also the closest to a chip.

He's probably pissed that Portland basically decided for a rebuild around Scoot, so now, since he's not been rewarded for his loyalty, he thinks he might as well win a chip in his remaining active years.

As fucked up as it sounds I hope he just had an underlying condition that they didn’t know about. If not then the rest of the summer is going to be arguments about vax conspiracies or if he snorted a line of coke longer than the wait times at Splash Mountain.

i've been hoping they cut down the regular season to maybe 70 games, so i think that's be the best compromise rather than an 82 game season + mid-season shenanigans

Dame dolla and Giannis the best duo in the league. Suns got better too by adding more bench dudes to support their top-heavy roster. finally some spicy shit happening. Thunder in 4.

I found a pair of Dame Adidas to hoop in for $35 and this news drops the next day. Crazy.
Sixers in Milwaukee are their first game of the regular season.
-
The Bucks really want to keep Giannis in place, the entire draft stable has been cleared out

Hard to argue against adding a guard who's nicknamed after end of game situations to a team whose biggest weakness has been clutch time execution. The bucks are the clear cut favorites in the East.

I Don't blame them. Such is life… all worth it if they win a few. Granted they seem to draft pretty well. Guess it’s officially Scoot’s team now…
Crazy. You get a slasher, guy who can create his own shot, and hit clutch 3s.
Jimmy butler is dry snitching on his IG, “y’all need to look into the bucks for tampering I’m just gonna put that out there”. The blazers didn’t want yer scraps, James lol

The Bucks got better for sure, but I feel bad for Jrue Holiday.

As always in sports media, depends on who you're listening to. I'd put my money on the team with the time-tested combination of a superstar big man paired with a superstar guard, not the team with two superstar wings. The Celtic's reaction to once again losing due to a lack of on-court execution was to get rid of their starting PG. I'm just not buying that a team with a PG rotation of Brogdon, White, and Pritchard will function well enough to make it to the top. Taytum and Brown have proven time and again that they alone just aren't able to distribute the ball and organize a game as well as bona fide lead ball handlers.

Now that would be interesting. Jrue putting the clamps on his replacement in Cream City would be top tier entertainment. He makes almost 37m. this season though, and while I'm by no means a cap expert, I'm pretty sure they would need to make pretty much exactly that much room for him. And looking at their salary sheet (https://hoopshype.com/salaries/boston_celtics/), that doesn't seem feasible without completely gutting their rotation.
-
It’s Philly and Boston in on him… Boston i think is in same situation. Especially after backing the brinks truck up for Jaylen Brown lol and as you mentioned depth that’s already stretched thin.
-
come on home jrue
Jrue and Matisse back for Harden would be great.

home meaning the 6ers or home meaning LA? (clips)
i feel like he's the most important piece on the block right now. dude can transform any one of these playoff squads into a contender, and contenders into winners. hope he doesn't rot away on a decent Blazers team. love watching him in big games
-
Im kinda nervous the Suns got more depth and freed up space, thought they’d screwed themselves with 4 max contracts and would be gassed come playoff time.
Still think a healthy Nuggets team can beat anyone in a 7 game series but it seems like there’s 3-4 teams in each conference that could be serious contenders…
-
Denver is still elite. The depth and chemistry. Good coaching.
@easymoneysniper definitely a huge piece…. Can pretty much plug him into any contending team and he contributes. Great two way guard….
I miss watching locally competitive basketball lol… i am pretty excited to see Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore hoop.

Jrue to the Celtics. That Dame trade really worked out well for them.

Holy shit the east is going to be nuts. Hope they all tire each other out so that the Nuggets can snag another one.
-
Well... So much for my "Celts won't go for Jrue" take. I definitely didn't expect them to let Timelord go, but maybe they finally realized it doesn't really matter how good they are with him if he only plays half the games. The top of the East is going to be nasty.

Has this NBA cup done anything for anyone?
I’m hypothetically happy for lakers to be in semis, but I think it’ll be years before the cup has any kind of cache or bragging rights to it.
Or it’ll be like winning a Pandemic Championship where every team that didn’t win it acts like the team that did has some kind of moral failing

I think it's good for the game and definitely seems to be working so far. Gives the audience something to care about in the middle of the season. It also gives the chance for bench players who don't rake in a bunch of cash to make an extra 500k which can go a long way. I have a feeling it's here to stay. Bummed the Celtics are knocked out but the Pacers are looking pretty great for a young team

Nothing to see there. Guy with anger management issues lashes out again and is once more enabled by those who ought to keep him in check. It's been going on for what, 8+ years now?
-
The NBA enabled him, it’s kind of gross. Every suspension he’s received has been looked at as individual incidents and not a clear habit of violence.
If they threw the book at Ja for basically pretending to be Youngboy, then they need to put a heavy suspension on a player that actually hurts people consistently.

Anyone watch that golden state game last night? Jokic is unreal.
-
I caught the second half, really thought we were out of it but once we had the starters in that run was insane. Jokic game winner was unreal, never seen him celebrate like that. He’s also only missed like 5 shots the last 5 games or something.
He’s perfect and I am so happy to be a Nugs fan.

I was at a friends place watching the game and left halfway though the 4th when the nuggets went down by 18. Thought there was no way they were gonna win and was kinda bummed because I hate Steve Kerr and think steph curry is a hotdog. When I got home I was so stoked and a little confused to see they somehow won. Peyton Watson is gonna be a star someday. AG playing better since that dog bite. Murray is underrated as well.
Great time to be a nugget fan. Becoming a bit nervous about OKC and the Clippers though.

he literally bumped his knee the previous game and was noticeably slowed by it
and then the nuggets coach tried to blame the nuggets poor play from the 'let down' of embiid not playing,
its PRO basketball cmon man - sixers didnt even have an active actual point guard and still almost won.

Agreed. it was a meaningless game in January, Embiid always gets hurt around this time of year.

lmao yeah he was clearly faking it to dodge the guy he dropped 47-18 on, as evidenced by his knee folding in half ln
