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

[victor page]

 
KD is better, but Paul George is having a hell of a game as of now, not sure why this would be evidence.

He started going off when OKC cleared their bench.

Hell of a game huh?

Who ever said that?

Def. took Melo's spot tho.

Man, Melo's spot is miles away from either of those guys.  Let's officially leave him out of those sentences.

Fraud Indy lol

Give Masai Ujiri Executive of the year award tomorrow morning!

He had a spot?? PG has already accomplished more than he has

 

[awwsome]

KD is a level above Paul George, PG has shown a lot improvement this year but we are comparing him to man who was the second in the league in scoring on 50/40/90. There is a lot of y'all about Bron's efficiency, but KD is on another planet as well. His defense is getting better too but if he becomes an elite defender he will be the best one day.

 

[mjsaver]

I like PG but it feels like his stock is rising a bit too fast, hes definitely on the rise but he shouldnt be coming for anyones spot hes only had 1 good season.

Granted this is just BR, but it has been real life from the NBA talking heads on tv too, trying to catapult PG into that #2 spot. He has been having an amazing season no doubt and even tonight finished with 32, but just no, not yet. If this is a finals preview, I got OKC who can be top 6 in offense and defense over all these types of teams in the East with top 2-3 defense and bottom 3rd in offense. This Pacers loss comes on the 2nd night of a road b2b is worth noting, but you wonder how much of them being so good is a product of their only being 1 other competent team in their conference, who they happen to match up favorably to.

118 is the most points the Pacers have allowed in 2 years

Sacramento is probably the last place he can get his career back on track at

He needs a Monta Ellis type situation and he probably will not be able to get that opportunity til he hits free agency. He needs a playmaking PG, an open offense and to play next to a true star that will allow him to be a 2nd or 3rd option.

the rockets bench better close this game out and get the starters some rest

 

[lynchpin33]

wonder if NBC will notice a dip in the ratings (Sunday night football) around 9:30 when the Lakers vs. Raptors starts...

 

[ballinboykz]

I hope Kobe goes for 82+ tonight. Just because of that trade. Not that I'm a huge Rudy fan, I just dont see how we "improve" with that trade. At all.

"Go Raptors"...

He can come on down to Dallas and take over Vince Carter's role.

He's like the only guy in the NBA shooting worse than Rudy Gay.

You're kidding right? NFL dominates ratings. Won't be but a drop in the bucket. Not to mention they play the garbage raptors

These guys behind me have been screaming for the last 5 minutes for harden to get a rebound for the triple double. Screaming at the top of their lungs

 

[JD617]

The Raps freed up $20 mil for next year by getting rid of Bargs and Gay.

 

[beh235]

 

 
Realtalk, hate for Gay, the Kings, and Sacramento aside, what happened to Gay?

I remember a few seasons ago when he was relatively efficient and shooting at a good %age

Interestingly enough, the advanced stats guys hated him even before his traditional stats became this bad.  He shoots a lot of mid-range Js, which he isn't particularly good at.  

I'm not sure he was ever particularly good.

This. His ability got masked by his teammates. Gasol and Z Bo takes the focus off that. Homie guns and doesn't care

I would've rather they finished the Magic off early like they should have, but their next game isn't til Thursday, so I'll cut them some slack

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

There are ppl on here who still think Melo is right behind or even equal with KD. Hell, just last season there was talk he should be MVP

Go back thru this thread.

I ain't just make it up.

Ppl on here are crazy.

 

[datznasty]

These guys behind me have been screaming for the last 5 minutes for harden to get a rebound for the triple double. Screaming at the top of their lungs

When I went, all they all kept screaming is "Where is Jeremy Lin? Why is Lin not playing. Pass the ball to Jeremy Lin." That was more important than even heckling me for being the only Thunder geared out person in the section.

Two words:

Josh Smith

But lets not throw Gay in the same sentence as Ellis. Ellis has been good this season, really good actually. Gay will never have that type of season.

does vince only shoot fadeaway jumpers?

 

[Peep Game]

Well if you have Kobe, you can get sone of those points back. I'm thinking 82/2/5
