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

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

weedpop · « **Reply #637 on:** May 15, 2013, 09:44:31 PM »

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.

The Ghost of Lenny Kirk · « **Reply #638 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:34:21 AM »

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.

Will Easley · « **Reply #640 on:** May 16, 2013, 01:36:27 PM »

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.

Strike A Pose · « **Reply #641 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:20:11 PM »

Grizzlies all the way

I've been messing with Z-Bo and them boys for a minute!

Ernie McCracken · « **Reply #642 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:21:17 PM »

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.

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.

The Ghost of Lenny Kirk · « **Reply #647 on:** May 16, 2013, 07:31:27 PM »

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.

Tracer · « **Reply #648 on:** May 16, 2013, 07:35:37 PM »

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

EPetrov · « **Reply #649 on:** May 16, 2013, 07:41:03 PM »

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

Bubblegum Tate · « **Reply #650 on:** May 16, 2013, 10:20:09 PM »

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.

GarglesCmen · « **Reply #651 on:** May 16, 2013, 11:47:23 PM »

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.

Beeda Weeda · « **Reply #652 on:** May 17, 2013, 04:59:16 AM »

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.

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

Murder them? Dude they gave San Antonio a first round upset as an 8th seed 2 years ago, and they weren't even as good as they are now while SA has relatively stayed the same. SA might be able to squeak out a series win, I wouldnt be surprised if they did, but itll definitely be competitive. dont be surprised if Memphis cripples Duncan or Parker either. niggas gon be scrappin!

yes monty they spurs will win if they can make the basketball go through the basket more than memphis can
