2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[big j 33]

Indiana just needs to step up their defense again.

Since the All-Star break, Indiana's defensive rating is 105.4 (which would put them around 10-13 in the league), compared to their pre-break number which was 96.8... while their offensive rating is roughly the same. Obviously it's a smaller sample size, but it's their defense that has been struggling.

Of course, Miami hasn't been a defensive juggernaut this season, but the difference is on the offensive end and Lebron.

Which is why I still like Miami over Indiana, but it won't be easy.

Kind of feels like Indy has lost the chip on the shoulder they had to start the season.

Maybe too much media attention (George - MVP, Lance - All-Star, Hibbert - DPOY and Entertainment 720) got to their heads?

Certified back?

figures he would show his face again after blake griffin officially became the best blake in LA after the bazemore trade

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

I missed you guys!

 

[offwhitewhite]

Jesus Christ. Frank Vogel was yelling so furiously he actually made Felton lose the ball.

Lance just broke JR

Boston's court looks so damn old. **** looks just like old ply wood with no grip.

Shannon Brown got fat.

Doubt he'd even be able to dunk anymore.

Lol i knew there **** was ****** up. They need to replace there court.

 

[imlive365]

You know what I always forget, that LeBron James is left handed. It always blows my mind that he does everything else with his left hand except play basketball. Hes doing all of this with his off hand...

I generally dislike all-things Boston... the obvious exceptions are movies based in Boston (Departed, Good Will Hunting, etc.) and obviously the history... but their floor is awesome.

It's a fact.

Paul George :x :x

Man nothing comes easy for him offensively. He can't put the ball on the floor that well which inhibits him from getting better looks for himself and others. If he's going to make that jump to "Top 5" or superstar, he's got to flat out be better offensively. He's already there on the other side of the ball. But man, Indy is going to need him to be "that guy" to be a championship team. Who else can they go to to make a play?

That's why I've held steady with my Clips / Heat NBA final this year. #ParadeOnFigueroa

Heinson is so bad as a color guy though. I hate him.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

I love vintage.

I think it's dope

 

[Bert.]

at that court

whats wrong with it?

 

[imlive365]

They could keep that vintage look while maintaining it. There's no need to have wood chips missing on the court.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

I think that chipping and **** is under a flat clear surface..

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Amir Johnson is low key really really good at basketball, 2nd best Raptor easily.

 

[JD617]

The parquet floor is classic.

Its not that crazy... some people are just ambidextrous 

I just found out I've been tying my shoes left handed, so that's pretty awesome I guess
