*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (5 Viewers)

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Lowry isn't an upgrade over Chalmers. Put Chalmers on a crappy team, he's putting up those numbers too.Dalembert isn't a trade asset.Scola's a replacement level PF.Have fun losing your best player in free agency.

Just awful posting. Re: dal - remember you said that when the spurs interior destroys all pros Joel Anthony and udonis Haslem in the next round. Re: scola - scarily similar stats to Bosh as the third option (like bosh). Re: Lowry - chalmers his equal? you're killing me....Our best player is chandler parsons. If you are referring to dragic you may be right that he leaves. And as much a that will disappoint it isn't like he's going to be the difference in Houston winning a title anytime soon. P.s. chalmers = Lowry. again.

Lowry is a middle of the road NBA PG. Sorry to burst your trade aspirations. And Dragic is better.Houston is filled with mediocre players.Deal with it. (And by deal, I don't mean create one of your asinine deals)

Durant is in "don't even think about it" mode.

i don't know why they haven't doubled him harder. make these other guys step up in the pressure moments.

Pretty much the entire Thunder team has been involved offensively tonight though so it's tough to leave anyone I would think.

outside of ibaka tonight? the numbers don't support that.

I guess Sefalosha didn't get many looks, but everyone else had many touches and shots and was moving around actively. Perkins, Collison & Ibaka, who are sometimes afterthoughts on offense were very involved throughout the game, which usually translates into performance later in the game when called upon. If those types of guys are ignored on offense, they can't be relied upon in the clutch. See: Gasol, Pau

I would bet the mortgage that every gm the league would take Lowry over Mario.

 

[tommyGunZ]

What a performance from KD. Anyone who doesn't understand the value of having a superstar scorer needs to re-watch the 2nd half of tonights game.

 

[Raider Nation]

So, the million dollar question: CAN Oklahoma City win a game in San Antonio?

SA -4 on Monday. I wouldn't touch it.

As a 76er fan, Id settle for a consistent scorer.

I would bet the mortgage that every gm the league would take Lowry over Mario.

Didn't you already lose it on Aaron Brooks?

 

[Ghost Rider]

So, the million dollar question: CAN Oklahoma City win a game in San Antonio?

Yes. Remember that they were in control of Game 1 before the Spurs ended strong, and the Thunder are playing better now. Not saying they will, but it won't be surprising at all now if they do.

I'm with Abe. Lowry >>> Chalmers.

Agreed. It's not even close.

Been a while, but JoeyC used to have the highest home team win pct out of all refs by a pretty good margin.

 

[wilked]

JoeyC is just plain incompetent. Bill Kennedy has a well documented hatred of the Celtics. Add incompetency and hatred and you it equals a 4.5 line swing

I had to reverse to make sure what I thought I saw was true

JoeyC is just plain incompetent. Bill Kennedy has a well documented hatred of the Celtics. Add incompetency and hatred and you it equals a 4.5 line swing

Well one thing is for sure, we'll see some bad officiating. Just hope it goes for the celts rather than against them.

Celtics were up by 22 in game 2, then had another 20+ lead in game 3, tonight they jump out 6-0...

Ray Allen looks bad

Heat are down double digits pretty much since the 1st half of the 2nd game...Celtics are killing them.

 

[Kev4029]

Wow.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

The refs have their work cut out for them if they're going to screw the Celtics.

 

[HellToupee]

Rando has a big wando

Whatever garbley goo Spo was seen giving the players pre game, didn't take too well it would seem.

 

[wilked]

I feel like 75% of the time the Celts score a 3, Heat throw one up on the next possession

25% of the time it works every time.

Celts too sloppy on offense, no way they can keep up shooting this well from outside all night.

 

[southeastjerome]

Celts were -10 with KG on the bench in game 3, carrying over to game 4.

They are working on it...

James had a pretty good quarter... the rest of the Heat are sleepwalking

 

[wilked]

Rondo was a monster there...

 

[Mark Davis]

Celts were -10 with KG on the bench in game 3, carrying over to game 4.

No doubt, on the defensive end it shows bad. Rivers bought a lot of minutes that quarter though resting Garnett.

James lowers his head and bowls Pierce over, yet is surprised by the call...

Edit to add - wow
