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

[sea manup]

 

OKC needs to do a better job of getting kd the ball in spots where he can score, a lot of TA's defense is ball denial

if KD can get the ball at his spots no one can stop him

hopefully he puts on some weight over the off season so defenders cant push him around as much 

KD isn't getting the ball in his spots unless he brings the ball up and that'd wear him down completely.

if your best wing player needs to bring the ball up for him to get good looks then you need to do something about your offensive sets

Might not be a better guy in the NBA at fighting thru screens than Tony Allen.

derick fisher literally fights through screens

CLAMPS!

Give him ONE job and that's to focus on shutting down an offensive player. NOTHING ELSE. If you do that, he will listen . If you just allow him to get in the court with no real objective, he will be all over the damn place.

I loved Tony Allen coming out of ok state. Thought he was gonna be an all star

Still can't believe were not talking about Perkins sending the game into overtime, for sure I thought he would miss that layup.

Would probably get talked about more if the Thunder won the game. That play was kind of rendered meaningless since OKC went on to lose anyway.

Crazy thing is Perkins almost did. it wasnt a clear bank. Even he was surprised

Yup, said the same thing. He almost over shot it

 

[awwsome]

I'm surprised when Perkins does anything productive.

I hope some unexpected team gets the #1. Like Chicago back in 08.

In a perfect world...PHX gets the #1 pick and takes Wiggins... Forming the most athletic team in NBA history

 

[antidope]

I feel like every road team is going to lose today. Teams are just comfortable getting home court back and the complacency is going to set in. The team most likely to win tonight is Washington though.

 

[datznasty]

Arguably could have been at the ft line for an And 1 on it. But yea, worst +/- on the team and the OKC starting lineup has the is the worst lineup used in the playoffs over 20 minutes at -16 per 100 possessions.

Perkins is doing a great job guarding KD though

if phx gets the #1 pick no borderline 8th seed team will ever try to make the playoffs again

I had flashbacks of Artest in 2010 vs the Suns.

 

[ballinsam23]

I'm pretty sure once Kendrick put it up he thought he missed it as well

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I'm pretty sure once Kendrick put it up he thought he missed it as well

I thought it looked like he took an extra second before putting it up to make sure he didn't

 

[calibeebee]

A little surprised terry stotts didn't finish top 5 in COY.

What's funny?

I hope Phoenix at least gets a top 5 pick. I want Gordon on that team so badly.
