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

[100027]

Would u guys be in favor of restructuring the west and eastern conference's?

Absolutely.  At least so that it makes logical sense.  No reason for Memphis and New Orleans to be in the West at all, for example.

 

[sea manup]

they need to move MEM or NO to the east and remove a couple east teams

 

[akhi]

Teams that need to be axed (have no history and never got rid of that expansion team vibe)

Grizz

Pelicans

Raptors

TWolves

OKC needs to move back to Seattle

 

[sea manup]

do you guys think the bobcats will be more popular after they get their old name back?

 

[akhi]

If they can make the playoffs then yeah

 

[AEA18]

do you guys think the bobcats will be more popular after they get their old name back?

Only if they bring back the old logo, jerseys, colors, and that honeycomb court

 

[rck3sactown]

If they can make the playoffs then yeah

Were thy popular that one time when they made the playoffs??


(They made the playoffs in like 08 or something right?)

Grizz
Pelicans
Raptors

OKC needs to move back to Seattle

thats a terrible list.

the only one that is somewhat right is toronto and even then thats the only team in canada which the creator of basketball was born

grizz are a good franchise

the pelicans use to be the charlotte hornets and have a great one two punch in anthony davis and clutch

and the wolves were a pretty good team when kg was around and now have love and rubio

okc use to be the sonics and unless you are from seattle makes no sense why you would want them to be move back. they are doing great now

We can only hope

 

[akhi]

They weren't popular then b/c NO was still recovering from Katrina... back when Baron Davis was taking them to playoffs in Charlotte they still weren't popular but that was more to do with their owner being hated

Also they are bringing back the old color scheme

You mean to tell me from a historical perspective these franchises resonate with anyone outside of their own cities? Financially, these small market teams are just dead weight really.

Also, I never said the players from these teams are no good and should be out of the league... they could have like a contraction draft or something

jordan better not **** this up......hornets won't be the hornets w/o the og colors.....I don't even care the if the designs are altered...

edit: old dudes w/ money don't care if them broads are gold diggers......they just want a pretty young thang on their side that can ride and suck pipe

 

[yeezusdisciple]

Why would u want the league to be smaller? If anything it should keep growing

 

[100027]

They're bringing back the old colors.

 

[akhi]

Diluted product... More owners means less money when they revenue share, which means owners will start cutting into the players slice... which means lockout

Imagine if you could put Kevin Love, Ant Davis, Conley and Marc Gasol on teams like the Celtics, Lakers, Warriors, Bulls or Knicks... teams with real history and legit generational fanbases that support their teams GOOD or BAD

 

[Master Zik]

So teams can be better. Stretching out the talent to all these bum *** areas aint helping competition.

 

[100027]

I don't believe that big markets are always better or whatever, but there are too many NBA cities that just literally don't care about their teams.

Look at Atlanta. They don't want an NBA team. Or Milwaukee. They lose money, we have to watch empty games, it dilutes the talent, and it sucks for the players who get sent there.

 

[Master Zik]

if miami (or indiana) wanted to try for 73-9 this would be the perfect year to do so

Neither team has the discipline to do so. Pacers would fold under the pressure if they got close and the Heat don't give a **** enough to make any type of history, they'd be on their way and then lose to the Bucks

that face

he definitely knows when to spill a soda

 

[alp]

u gotta love j. kidd

 

[buc em]

If the NBA did fold a few teams how would the players be spread out? I don't get how that would work.

 

[CP1708]

Would be a draft (in theory)

 

[nelson999]

Isaiah Thomas plays more minutes than Vasquez.....

Oh, then Isaiah musta' fouled out cause Vaswuez finished the 4th quarter and overtime last night against the Clippers

he was playing like ****
