*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (3 Viewers)

[UniAlias]

I've never really liked Mo Williams smug little chihuahua face. Agree that the rest of the team is very likable though.

 

[Timmay]

Last time I thought the game was a forgone conclusion, there was an epic comeback. I'm turning this one off, just for Curly.

Spurs took the night off, but butts will be kicked in the next game!

How long you lived I'm San Antone?

Never. Same with Miami.Portland is funny. All the confetti for winning 1 game!

Lots of confetti in Portland. Feel free to root for us when Duncan et al retire and Labron signs with the Lakers. Front running band wagoners always welcome here.

Uh, never. There's not one player on Portland that I like and I root for players on a team that I like. I'm sure LeB will go to a team that is going to be a zero for at least a few years with no one there to build around him. Even if Kobe sticks around for a year or two, he's on the decline.

Who doesn't like Damian Lillard? How is that even possible?

It's a team FULL of likable guys. Anybody who has been tasked with covering this team will tell you that to a man, Nicola Batum is the greatest guy in spots; terrific interview.

Didn't Batum nut punch someone in the Olympics?

It was for a good reason. haha

From a slightly different angle.

[TobiasFunke]

Everyone loves Chris Paul and he once punched an opposing player in the nuts too. Apparently fans don't mind it.

 

[GroveDiesel]

How the f did the ref standing right there not call the foul when Beal grabbed Stephenson's foot and tried to trip him?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Indy's offense still sucks. Too much iso and stand around garbage. And Hibbert really needs to man up and start getting better position inside and then finish it strong.

 

[pizzatyme]

Hibbert taking the ball at the high post is silly since he NEVER rolls and sets position down low. NEVER!

And George Hill pounding the ball for 15 seconds each possession is maddening.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Hill is usually the worst player on the court. Like if you were drafting a team from scratch and you look at every guy on the floor, Hill goes 9th or 10th every time.

 

[pizzatyme]

Watson should be running the point with the 1s.

I don't see the point of Vogel's "offense" to have West at the elbow and Hibbert taking the ball at the high post?! Normally, you'd think they're trying to clear out space for penetration or a high-low pass or back cut. Nope. It's just to get the bigs away from the basket so we have no rebounders when we miss 17-22' jumpers.

The Pacers win in spite of the coaching, not because of it. At least on offense I'd say.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Yeah, Hill destroys the offense. He is terrible.

 

[CurlyNight]

Lovin' and respectin' Magic even more! Great interview going on. Sterling is long beyond help, very delusional thinking Magic hasn't done anything or isn't a great role model! This man should watch his back as he's pissed off many people and not just minorities!

 

[Sinn Fein]

Magic is a despicable attention-whore imo

 

[Abraham]

Just a hair behind the heat for sure. Just a tiny tiny difference.

Should be a good 7 game series.... if IF Miami can advance.

Make sure to check in each half of every game.

Interesting - a Wizards fan living in Indiana. Whats that like?

You're right. Shame on him for inserting himself into this Sterling stuff to gain some attention to himself.

I don't know how to view post counts per thread, but I'm pretty sure I have been in this one quite a bit. Frankly, I imagine Scola will pull this out for them.

exactly. Shame on him

For shame, for shame, for shame.

At home tho?

The Heat are watching this and

I'm guessing gortats next contract value goes up 100k with each rebound or point.

Wittman benched this guy for Drew Gooden and Al Harrington on Sunday. He should be fired.

I also never suspended or banned a single person because I didn't know how. I thought it ran pretty well when I held the keys, but it seems to run pretty well now too.

 

[Abraham]

Wait , I have 1000 more posts in this thread than anyone else? Holy ####. Although I imagine at least half are about Martin and Scola.

Top 8!!!

 

[Britney Spears]

Man, that arena was 99% empty by the time Wall gave his interview. I guess walking away from a $7 investment isn't really that heartbreaking.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Whats amazing is that Tim did not find this thread until a month ago, and already top-5

 

[Todem]

Now that was a beat down. Wow…..close out at home…and they were trounced.

It will be a different story for The Heat tomorrow night. No doubt they close it out.

 

[No. 16]

Wall and Beal or Curry and Klay?

I'll give the nod right now to Curry and Klay, but Wall and Beal aren't very far behind.

Curry and Klay, but mostly because I'd prefer Curry to Wall, Beal, and Klay.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Good lord, 62-23 rebounding advantage for the Wiz.

I hope you're right gb. I think Pierce, Garnett and Co won't be so quick to give up if the Heat get ahead. Please please please let Pierce say something about defending LeBron again before tip.

how is that even possible?

Probably Curry/Klay because Curry is the best of those 4, but Curry and Clay are 26 and 24, Wall and Beal are 23 and 20.

Strictly Sterling related too

 

[pizzatyme]

Good lord, 62-23 rebounding advantage for the Wiz.

It starts with Vogel posting Hibbert up at the 3 point line. Then watch as he assists on West's 17 footer. There is NO ONE under the basket for the Pacers.

 

[Frostillicus]

I've read this thread nearly every day for 4 years or however long it's existed, and I have 136 posts? I need to step it up.

 

[Frostillicus]

BOO Pacers!!

 

[Britney Spears]

I don't think I've ever been top 8 in anything before. This is a pretty big deal for me.

 

[Premier]

Pacers just tuning up for the Heat.

 

[tom22406]

Well I didn't expect that from the Zards but I'll take it.

One at a time boys!

 

[fantasycurse42]

Pacers just tuning up for the Heat.

I don't even know if the Heat get to the ECF to face Indiana... Tough sledding ahead for Lebron & company.

 

[got_nugs]

BOO Pacers!!

GET OUT OF THE BASEMENT!

sorry working on that one...i'll get it.

 

[rascal]

If OKC wants to ever win a championship they need a real coach. Brooks is just awful. The Thunder's offense consists of 90% isolation plays.
