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

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Charlotte has a better chance against MIA than IND. Kemba can cook Chalmers and nobody on Miami can stop Big AL.  But they still don't have a chance to win more than one maybe two games in a series

Bobcats lost all 4 games to Miami and Bron cooked them for 60 something one game

They'll be swept with the quickness.

 

[igniteandexcite]

how can you put Jennings and AI in the same sentence?

Jennings wouldnt even be allowed to hold AI's compression shorts brah

I should've bolded the less talented part or put it in massive font.

***** *** Chandler

 

[imsneakerpimp]

Just what I thought, Nobody thinks Charlotte actually can beat Indy in 7. It's just fun to say.

 

[awwsome]

Demar in HS was a SIGHT

Dude treated game like dunk contests, was just way too athletic for everybody.

 

[jabroni jenkins]

Bruh, who you have no idea

that's my guy still, but looking back I had far too high expectations for him as a player. Undersized 2's who aren't athletic and don't get to the free throw line normally don't fair that well in the NBA. I was thinking he would have a James Harden type career too but Ben Gordon / Randy Foye probably would have been more appropriate. Also, I didn't know expect him to be a poor playmaker at the NBA level nor did I expect him to have bouts of being out of shape and low on confidence.

yeah i saw a rudy gay post game interview & he seemed dissapointed in oj, kept calling him fat

Yep after last time the Kings played the Bucks. 

His exact quote:

"He said he was hurt, and I guess when you’re hurt in Wisconsin, you eat."

Charlotte is an elite defensive team. I don't think they'll be as much of an easy out as some of yall think. As a matter of fact, they've had a real good record since the ASB.

FWIW, I think either Miami or Chi is coming out of the East.

Charlotte is offensively challenged, Kemba & Al is probably enough to win one game at most

 

[awwsome]

People sleep on Bobcats D.

That defense plus 20/10 monster Jefferson gives them a chance against anybody in the playoffs

If Kemba gets hot they're even more dangerous.

Playoffs are about defense and half court offense, Charlotte has both.

 

[pmatic]

Ian Eagle's pop culture references and everyday life phrases are the best.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

I just hope there are no major injuries this playoffs that derail everything

The return of d rose?

 

[imsneakerpimp]

So....
Charlotte doesn't beat Indy in a 7 game series but their defense is solid. That I can agree with.

Oj lived by the hype and died by the hype. All of that next Kobe talk and next superstar expectations people had is why he's looked down upon. When someone is deemed the next big superstar and end up being a role player off the bench they are quickly forgotten about and labeled a bust. I always personally thought demar was better and would be better

 

[$tacy]

Who ?

The guy from chicago, the one who is always in the suit

 

[tyonenine]

Who ?

The MVP

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Plagued by nagging ankle injuries since the 2012 London Olympics that have contributed to 16 missed games this season, Williams is averaging just 14.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting and just 10.9 points on 34.6 percent shooting over the past seven games.

Yet despite the Nets registering an impressive 33-14 record since Jan. 1, despite knowing that Williams (bad ankles and all) can still spot up and shoot, take defenders off the dribble and create his own shot with relative ease, there's still an underlying issue with Williams more salient than his ankle: his psyche.

"The truth of the matter is, it isn't good and has never been that good," one league executive said a few days ago. "From a talent perspective, you can't find too many people that would doubt he's worth an awful lot. But that's rarely the issue with him. The issue has always been questions about how bad he wants to win. What sacrifices is he willing to make? How much does he really care in the end? And believe me, people are still thinking about that now as the Nets approach the playoffs."

Yikes.

I wonder if the media/fans will finally put the spotlight on Deron and his silly putty ankles once the playoffs hit. It's time to put the big boy pants on.

 

[joe quimby]

D rose took that max deal disapeared

 

[Retto]

My dude Deron && what these injuries have devolved him into...

 

[joe quimby]

Yikes.

Having a 6'7 backup at point and jason kidd for a head coach takes a lot of pressure off deron

 

[awwsome]

Deron was my favorite player in the L even before he was a Net

Utah years had people saying he was better than Chris Paul.

The fact that he's making double what Curry is though. :x


Prok write the check.

 

[duba169]

Watson doesn't even flop good he floped after the contact is made if your gonna flop at least do it right

........

I weep for the youth

 

[tyonenine]

........

I weep for the youth

The youth already started flopping

 

[jabroni jenkins]

Utah years I would take deron over cp3.

When both healthy, Deron >

At least he cooked him last time they met

Nah the only thing he had over cp3 was a jumpshot & a better team
