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

[sporthenry]

Hinkie might try to package #3 and #10 and move up to #1. Not sure if Cavs do it but maybe.

 

[GroveDiesel]

50/50 shot Cleveland still screws up the pick. Probably get Embiid who will have back problems and end his career in 3 years.

 

[Abraham]

Embid, wiggins, Parker, exum, smart, randle.

Don't Parker and Lebron play the same position?

 

[Bobcat10]

NBA is just paving the way for Lebron to come home.

good point. Better pass on James. What is thompsons contract look like? They have too many power forwards on that team.

Lebron is like Magic... They just need the BPA.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Tough break for Detroit

It wasn't a tough break. They did it to themselves. You trade a future first-rounder to clear up cap space, then use that cap space on Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings, you deserve what you get.

Didn't really matter either way. They're gonna suck balls again next year and would've had to give Charlotte the pick then anyway.

Still have no idea why Van Gundy took this awful job.

Guess Silver wants Lebron to go home...

He's all but gone. 5M this year.

 

[GroveDiesel]

George ice cold so far. Stephenson on fire. Defense looking great and Hibbert dominating the offensive boards.

 

[metoo]

LBJ not looking so good to start

Just means he's going to break the Pacers heart in the 4th.

Did people clown the Cavs for picking Bennett when it happened, or is much of this second-guessing? I don't know much about him. Part two of the question, I suppose, is who should they have taken?

[Abraham]

Yes. He was out of shape and dealing with shoulder sorenes and had slipped to 6-8 in most mocks. Some people were championing VO for having the highest floor in a draft of no sure things. To be fair, the other guys at the top of some mocks were Otto porter and Alex Len. Noel slid for some reason - he was the #1 until injury.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Lebron really looks flumoxed out there. George has him really frustrated on the offensive end and he is trying to do too much and cover for everyone else defensively.

 

[Freelove]

Did people clown the Cavs for picking Bennett when it happened, or is much of this second-guessing? I don't know much about him. Part two of the question, I suppose, is who should they have taken?

It was considered a head scratcher, but nobody seemed to feel very strongly about anyone in the draft. Oladipo was considered pretty NBA ready, but people questioned the upside somewhat. Noel was kind of the "prize" earlier on, but his injury dimmed some of the excitement.

But just the fact that they took a guy nobody really saw going first, AND he sucks is why they get guff for it.

I know some in this thread did bash the Cavs for that pick right away. I'd never seen the kid play so I was just hoping for the best.

Very important qtr coming up here. Get to half with the lead and take our chances.

I don't know. Are you going to run your mouth like you are an authoritarian on who is CLEARLY BETTER when the 82 game regular season showed otherwise and this far, the playoffs have confirmed?

How about you give the Pacers some respect and we can be friends? Friendo

I for one gave the Pacers plenty of respect in here. I simply would advise caution in pluming of ones feathers until you've beaten the Heat in a series.

Good luck tonight Pyzza.

Bud, c'mon. Do you not understand that we are about to witness something truly special? A once in a lifetime type of thing. Sixers are about to own the NBA for the next 6-8 years, probably 10

Wait Mo....you like the NBA? nice lottery for you guys!

 

[pizzatyme]

Wade with 5 steps down the lane...no biggie.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

So Cleveland gets the first pick and the Pistons lose their first round pick. Awesome, nice job Dumars, even after you're fired you ####ed #### up.

 

[GroveDiesel]

WTF? Did Vogel just decide to sit his starters for the 2nd quarter for giggles or something? Come on man...

It's a coaching moment. Get them ready for the late season push.

I blame Isiah Thomas

LBJ and Bosh were sitting... LBJ still sitting. Best time to rest them.

If you posted less, maybe you could save up for something funny for once. Not likely is it?

Or you take advantage and grab a big lead rather than giving up the lead.

Scola is HORRIBLE!

Steel cage match next time you're in NY?

 

[GroveDiesel]

What a joke.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Mark Jackson is the absolute worst. I hate the Warriors for firing him and causing me to have to listen to his garbage now. But after listening to his incomprehensible rambling, it's pretty obvious why he was fired.

 

[Frostillicus]

Hopefully after Love leaves the Wolves they get the same treatment from the league the Cavs have enjoyed post-Lebron.

 

[fantasycurse42]

This is like Space Jam and there is an alien inhabiting Boshs body.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Flop

I'll be there June 21-23, you would lose badly.

Game is being called really tight, i'd prefer less fouls called.
