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

So are the Raptors tanking efforts done? Are they legit trying to make the playoffs?

 

[Naruto]

And Derozan turns the ball over to end it.

Why in the world are you putting the ball in his hands over Lowry's down the stretch?

He had the hot hand, he scored majority of the points going in. It's typical raptors offense it's fairly linear and predictable

 

[osh kosh bosh]

^ too late for talking, Masai really ****** up, he took to long to make a decision, now were riding this train of mediocrity right to a first round exit.

Derozan has to be one of my least favorite raptors ever, it really bugs me the perception of him vs his actual on the court impact.

 

[uncharteddrake]

its not switching teams to root for a team in a matchup unrelated to your team

like i want portland to win this matchup vs toronto right now but that doesnt mean im switching teams, there are no lakers on the floor for me to root for

Nah as far as people here think, you should only root for one team and one team only. Most of the time it's the 30+ year olds on this site with that mentality.

Lillard is always clutch as hell, how many gamewinners is that now?

This Raptors team could definitely make the second round imo. it'd be worth it

there's a difference between switching "your team" and rooting for one of the two teams in a game your team isnt involved in

im always going to be a diehard lakers fan but this year im rooting for

1. whoever the lakers are playing

2. any other bottom 10 teams

3. teams that i enjoy watching (portland, indiana, golden state)

as long as "my team" isnt swiching every year then theres nothing wrong with rooting for other teams

Weird wade has a good game and its silent if he doesn't play or had a bad game the thread jumps 5 pages explaining how he's washed and needs to give up his AS spot.

 

[shoeking2101]

Man being a "fan" isnt even that serious if someone wants to bandwagon or ride a favorite player of his so what.

I hate those elitists fan types man.

 

[dt43]

Holy ****, Deandre Jordan is averaging 14rpg did not know that

if you're someone that switches teams when your current team is bad then you have no right to make fun of cavs/knicks fans for the state of their franchise

Thing about this whole bandwagon thing is just a few years ago before lebron to Miami the team to wagon on was the Lakers everybody was a Lakers fan every body was a kobe fan. Now slowly that bandwagon is slowly falling. Half of the laker fan base isn't even in Cali. How the hell is there die hard laker fans in Florida when they haven't even been inside the staples center

 

[Peep Game]

Is Kyle Korver beloved in Atlanta, or do the Hawks fans just buy time until the game is over?

all great teams have tons of bandwagon fans, there are old kobe fans that are now KD fans because its anti lebron. i feel the same way about bandwagon lakers fans as band wagon heat fans

In general I don't understand how the okc fan base is so big. When they were a losing team nobody was at the games really. Now after a few winning seasons there fans are so called great fans cause they always show.up. same thing with the warriors. A few years ago there fans weren't there but they make the play offs and a of a sudden there the greatest fans in the world and are so loud ESPN has to bring out that noise machine during there ganes

This is completely False about the Warriors! Look up the attendance numbers of last 7/8 years!

did you just make this up?

 

[imlive365]

did you just make this up?

What is there to make up? Your gonna tell me those okc fans were there when they were losing there first few years? And attendance numbers are you serious heat games are sold out almost every game and you see how that looks on tv

i have no idea what the actual numbers are but i would think OKC still sold out even when they were bad seeing that at the time they had just gotten the team, could be wrong though

they had one losing season when the franchise moved to okc

if you want to go by numbers, okc ranked 11th in avg attendance. miami was 15th in 08-09

There's no average attendance man all that is false TV company's radio stations they all buy tickets. Compared to the okc fanbase now how they are every game your gonna say they haven't changed from then to now?

 

[grandtheftbike]

im gonna go get some oreos

 

[sea manup]

eating oreos with milk then drinking the milk because oreos make me thirsty then realizing theres not enough milk left to dip the next oreo is the worst

 

[imlive365]

View media item 779715

 

[grandtheftbike]

eating oreos with milk then drinking the milk because oreos make me thirsty then realizing theres not enough milk left to dip the next oreo is the worst
