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

[kal-el-8]

Doc is a great coach, no questions about it.

Could be argued that he outcoached Phil Jackson in the first finals..

but Lakers lose by 17 tonight..

Clips will own la this year again.

EL OH EL AT BULLS FANS THINKING THEY STAND A CHANCE....WITH A MAN THAT HAS NO HEART AND JEALOUSY TRAITS

Lebron?

 

[marath0n]

Somebody post those Clippers over the Lakers banners....LAKERS PUT BANNERS...WHILE CLIPPERS POST UP SELFIES

Bro, we already had like a 3 page discussion of that topic in here. No need to revisit it. Maybe try the Lakers' thread because most people in here -- aside from some other Lakers' fans -- have no problem with the Clippers covering the Laker banners.

Trolls man

Where are all these goofy posters posting all this Bulls slander coming from lol

 

[marath0n]

you guys overrate doc rivers so damn much

Maybe, but I don't see how anyone could say he's not a better coach than Vinny DelNegro. So, that means the Clippers should be better, whether Doc's overrated or not.

That's all I ask for. For us to be better.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Doc is at least the 2nd best coach in the league. I don't see how that's overrated.

best time of the year, NBA is back

Rose is gonna ball out this season, starting with tonight.

And also, I think that the media has put KD in the back-burner so far for this season. I know his coach is horrible and Westbrook is going to be out for a bit, but he's the 2nd best player in the league by far and I think he's going to be destroying teams this season even without Westbrook.

Always anticipating the official start to the season, aka TNT's intro vid

honestly thats a cop out statement cuz VDN was pretty turrible in chi & lac

anybody would be a decent upgrade

same goes for the jason kidd will be eons better than pj or avery agruement ... pj's been crap for ever imo avery wasnt given a fair shake especailly when over 1/2 your team stops playing for you including your 1a & 1b... kidd will only last because of his name & nj net legacy dudes not fit to be a HC just cuz he ran point for 20 years ...see Isiah Thomas

You said it. Upgrade. Which means we SHOULD be better than consecutive years of a 2nd round and 1st round exits. And at this point, there's no comparison to Rivers and Kidd, especially since we haven't seen Kidd coach yet. No one's asking for the world, just calling it how we see it.

.........


with doc/clips you can say i agree its an upgrade & yall should be better
i used that example to bring that weak kidd debate back up cuz if anything hes on par with avery or worse ...he just has a luxury of having players who will actually play for him (at least we think)

 

[don ramon]

remember when dwight howard was "offended" that orlando let another player have "his" number? here's wishing dwight howard the worst this season

Ready for some basketball


- It wouldn't shock me if the Pacers beat the Heat. The Pacers haven't even reached their peak yet, all they need is a PG.

That's all a lot of teams need...

Pacers aren't going to the ECF again anytime soon, dudes absolutely hit their peak last year in a injury riddled Eastern conference.

Remember when my Mavericks took a sh** on your team on that same floor in game 6 of the finals, remember Dirk X Terry straight bussin jumpers all off in Bron & Wade's anus, and remember my n_ Mark Cuban bought your city for the night while all you of "die-hard since 2011" Heat fan was in the streets/message boards defending your team?

Me Neither.

 

[japanair21]

Won't be able to catch any of the weekday games live (other than at most 30-45 minutes during my lunch break), but my biggest question about this year is how Greg Oden will do.

I'll be so happy if he flourishes.

 

[dman14]

looking back, it's amazing what the mavs did in the playoffs vs the heat. dirk came up big, supporting guys did their jobs. made lebron look like a ghost during the finals.

 

[suberzat1]

Im ready for the beginning of NBA Season every year.

I still going to stick with the Bulls and Rockets fans being too excited with team chemistry still playing a factor. I think both team will do will in the regular season but fall short in the playoffs. I like the Rockets team from last year more  then this year if they would have resign some people and add some free agents. D.rose is going to demand the ball too much for everyone to get into their groove. Dont let D.Rose go down with some type of injury cause Nate will not be there to save them plus Noah was balling out of control with rose gone. Dont think the same Noah will be there all season long like last year. Think Coach Thibodeau going to do well with coaching the Team USA team this summer for them weeks. 

Lets see how the season plays out with NBA season just hours away.

GO Pelicans!!! GO Lakers!!!!
