Re: The NBA Thread

There are shit teams in the playoffs every year, it's unavoidable when 16 out of the 30 teams get in. It's the easiest path to the playoffs among the major sports, it's not even close. Way too many teams get in, it goes on forever.

lulz the lakers lost again (problem moa ) . It's inevitable the west final gonna be Spurs - OKC. I gonna root for OKC in the west, as it as now there is no way the Clippers gonna beat the Spurs. I hope they improve for the next year

Re: The NBA Thread

I told you that the Spurs would sweep the Clippers haha
Well OKC will probably finish the series today, it was expect, but the sad par it that the Lakers blowed 2 close games... it could be easily be a 3-1 Lakers right now. It would be much more easier for me if they just got outplayed and lost by 10+ points!


Indiana is giving Miami some trouble, but they fucked up last game and the series is even now. I don't think they can steal another game in miami

lol yeah the Spurs are too good for the Clippers this year
for the Lakers they put up a good fight, no luck xD

game 3 was awful, wade played like a beginner. but after yesterday game i got my hopes up. wade and James can be an awesome duo when they're at it. they scored 70pts and gave a good spectacle. if they keep playing like that, even without Bosh they might do it.

btw what do u think about Shane Battier? i think he's fcking useless

Yes, but the reason is very simple: money.
More teams in the postseason menas more games and more games means more money;

What reallt bothers me is east.. I've been following NBA for 10+ years and almost every year the east is weaken, like the 10th team in the west being better than the 7th in the east.
They should fix this with the better 16 are in, regardless of the conference they are from

I love Battier... but he's old now and lost a step.
If he can't play a good defense and hit the open shots he shold be benched, it's this simple. The problem is that Miami's really a weak team outsid of the big three. Has lem and Chalmers will give them some good games from time to time, but Miller, Battier, Anthony, Jones have all been awful.

Re: The NBA Thread

i do like the rookie, Norris Cole. He's fearless when he got the ball but he doesn't get much play time.

Well of course that's why. I didn't say there wasn't a reason, but it's not like that reason doesn't harm the product. I think it does.

This year I believe every team in the East that got in at least had a winning record. That's a rarity

Re: The NBA Thread

hahah, yes, it's... but 10 games before the season ended the 11th team in the west would be the 6th in the east! It was terrible! But then some teams started to tank and the Knicks/76ers picked it up.

82 games a season harm the product too, but they if the money is coming they don't care

yeah, but he's ok. But ok isn't enough for a rookie in a team looking for championship

Re: The NBA Thread

I like the Spurs team a lot and I love Ginobili, Duncan, Popovich...
But I still hate them from the 3 peat era! hahaha
and if they win, Duncan will get his 5th championship too!
I think they are the best team, but I'll be rooting for Derek Fisher!

And the Lakers are gone... I have no idea what they'll do in the offseason

Anyway, I think the Spurs beats OKC in 6

Re: The NBA Thread

do you think the spurs are joking around? Check this out:

Unfortunately, OKC is about to run into a buzzsaw. San Antonio's numbers of late are video-game crazy: The Spurs not only have 18 straight wins, but they are 32-3 in their past 35 games. The most amazing stat is that they're 24-3 in their past 27 road games, with two of three defeats coming when they decided to rest their starters.

That's the scarier part; when you take out games the Spurs tanked, they're record really starts looking good. In the last 47 games Tony Parker played, for instance, they're 43-4.

Did you hear me? FORTY-THREE AND FOUR!

If it took them 47 games to lose four times with Parker, I'm guessing it will take more than seven for them to lose four more.

Re: The NBA Thread

wow i didn't realize they had 18 straight wins. But i know they're one of the best team this year. Thing are different against the Thunder on the playoffs. It's another level from the Clippers and Utah.
anyway GO HEAAAAT GOOOOOOO. Wade-James play on the 3 latest Heat game were just
It's gonna be thought against an experimented team like the Celtics but if they keep playing like they did the last 3 game they gonna win.

i'm looking forward for tonight game, Spurs-Thunder

Re: The NBA Thread

The life of a Wizards fan: I am now contemplating which consolation prize, Michael Kidd Gilchrist or Thomas Robinson, I would prefer falling to us at 3rd. I am also feeling a sense of great relief that the Bobcats are picking ahead of us. Michael Jordan can be trusted to do the wrong thing, I half expect him to panic and order his GM to take Jared Sullinger.

Re: The NBA Thread

What a disappointing end of the Spurs.

Seriously, I've been wanting them to get their 5th championship ever since '09. At least before any of the three (plus Popovich) leave the team or retire (esp. Duncan). And I thought this was the time.

Since I'm a bit bitter over OKC, I'll be rooting for the Celtics for the championship.

Re: The NBA Thread

I see injuries on top of injuries there to be honest. They better have some depth.
