*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (7 Viewers)

[Dentist]

the NBA is full of all kinds of problems.. but at least it's looking like the final 4 will be the proper teams that belong after there were some serious scares in round 1.

No league does as good of a job at eliminating upsets as the NBA

We shouldn't even have a first or second round... Straight to the conference finals after the regular season.

AMIRITE?

i think 8 teams should make the playoffs. 1 large conference

To hell with that. Just skip the playoffs altogether and award the championship to the team that finishes with the best record, right?

i'm absolutely fine with that if you make a regular season where each team plays each other team 3 times.... all conferences and divisions eliminated.

Although I'd still be fine with the top 2 teams playing a best of 9 nba finals

Those calls that went against the Clips toward the end of the game are enough to make Sterling hate white people.

One of, if not the most successful league in the world agrees with you. America does sports wrong. No playoffs, inter-season cup and relegation is infinitely better.

A 7 game series in soccer would be great if they could play every other day. It would be infinitely better than a team parking the bus after scoring an away goal in the first leg.

Which league is that? I imagine the most watched soccer games are champions league matches (besides World Cup/Euro) which aren't associated with any individual league and look a lot more like American sports with the best team not always winning. Soccer leagues are more fair but apart from the Man City win on the last day are largely boring by the end. I think its pretty difficult to say that America does sports wrong with an event like the Super Bowl.

This place really needs a jerk off smiley.

Oh boy, dunks using a trampoline. Edgy.

 

[fantasycurse42]

The guy does a ####### backflip off the backboard. Pretty sick, but hey, I'm sure most FBGs could do that too

If you got any links to crackpot marksmen on XBox, those are pretty kickass too.

Wasn't really a dunk, more like a floater in the lane.

Like the Nets can actually win this one.

Read the title, even the Pacer fan knows who is best.

 

[CurlyNight]

It would be a rip if Miami lost tonight. But as usual they will coast until the end when it counts.

 

[Short Corner]

The foul call on the 3 pointer was a much worse call.

Yep, horrible call

Would you agree that in MLB the best teams usually make the playoffs?

 

[got_nugs]

I AM OUTRAGED! That ball is clearly off AK47 yet Brooklyn retains the ball. How come NOBODY is talking about this?! I expect SteveASmith to erupt tomorrow. Spo better torch the refs.

 

[CurlyNight]

Steve Kerr new head coach of Warriors. So much for the rumor of him going to the Knicks with Phil Jackson.

 

[simmonjm]

I'm shocked Kerr took the job after reports had leaked saying the Knicks were willing to give him a 4 year like he demanded. All this for a rookie head coach.

It would be more impressive if he was dressed in a gorilla costume

5 years and $25 mil for someone who has never coached seems insane. Wouldn't be my money either way.

I know system wise he doesn't mesh with Phil but gotta think Mark Jackson would be the guy who could get and keep talent and also have the NYC fans' full support.

After reading about Mark Jackson it seems like he was only a part time coach, and part time preacher. I would rather have someone like Kurt Rambis or Lionel Hollins.

I think someone like Jackson could do well with a reclamation project like the Knicks for the short term. He was able to get the Ws to play hard for him and the Knicks' offense is going to feature a lot of isolations for Anthony anyway. Sometimes it takes a different type of coach to get a team from 35 to 50 wins as it does to get the same team from 50 to 55 wins.

Phil taking Brian shaw from Denver?

Radio talk was all over the idea that he wanted to stay closer to home, his daughter, etc.

Part time coach, full time preacher.

Dude will get exposed like Mike Brown to be a hack coach without Curry to bail him out.

Jackson could be a great coach, if he eventually learns the x/o's.

 

[No. 16]

Imagine those practice 3 point contests between Curry, Klay, and Kerr.

 

[Premier]

I love that Golden State fired one former tv announcer who had never coached just to turn around and hire.....another tv announced who has never coached.

 

[CurlyNight]

Miami is pissing me off! They love giving me a heart attack toward the end!

 

[CurlyNight]

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

 

[Yenrub]

Nets ####ting away this game

 

[dickey moe]

Another choke.

 

[mlbnfl]

And I still love sad face Paul Pierce. Its wonderful, hes like a baby.

 

[Daywalker]

Yet again. Lame.

 

[pollardsvision]

No ####### way

 

[CurlyNight]

Hey hey hey, gooooooooooooooooooooood byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!





Next up, Spurssssssssss- close it out!

 

[Daywalker]

Can't recall as many botched last second possessions in a post-season. I mean not even getting shots off.

 

[dickey moe]

Lol

 

[Zaxxon]

I've pretty much been a fan of the entire Eastern Conference since before I could walk.

 

[Mr. Retukes]

I've seen fifth graders run plays with more precision and skill.

 

[CurlyNight]

I didn't see if Pierce and Garnett gave Allen a hug and good job thingy...

 

[got_nugs]

Man, Joe Johnson was amazing against LeBron in the 2nd half right before he turned back into Ski Mask Joe.

Good luck tomorrow Pyzza...we'll be waiting.

 

[Abraham]

Curly wins again!

 

[Zaxxon]

Curly wins again!

Always good to see such devoted fans get their just rewards.

 

[TxBuckeye]

Man, NBA directive to keep the Trailblazers in the game? Some seriously unbalanced officiating early on in this one.

 

[got_nugs]

You guys hear this Mike Ryan song from the LeBatard show - "stat in yo face" with the hook I LOVE HABERSTROH?

Stitches parody

I can barely handle one team in playoffs. I don't know how you handle 6.
