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

[do work son]

carmelo won the national championship, though.

True. I was drawing the comparison to Melo's NBA playoff performances, but clearly that confuses the connection.

Crazy to think in retrospect that that would be his best ever moment as a basketball player.

i honestly didn't see it was you that posted initially. had i seen it, i definitely wouldn't have dignified it with a response. i know your melo shtick. actually disappointed in myself for being trolled

knicks front office must be jumping for joy with shumpert's trade stock rising with this televised game.

They wouldve been in the playoffs if they wouldve pulled the trigger for dion

Or that OKC draft pick.

Thanks Clips.

Yup. 5 years of Paul pierce and KG on the same team didn't show you that their teams don't give a damn about regular season?

It's going to be a rude awakening for you when they actually do try and you realize this isn't 5 years ago when they're embarrassed out of the playoffs

Not denying this. Just saying that they don't play with purpose until it counts.

So tomorrow if Memphis beats Dallas and OKC somehow loses to the Pistons, we get a OKC/GSW and LAC/MEM first round?

Feel you man. I'm just thinkin, this version of KG and PP don't deserve that benefit of the doubt IMO, especially KG. Dude is on his last leg. Regular season don't mean much for vets, I agree with that. This specific Nets team just look mediocre. Not just tonight, tonight they look like dog ****. The past month they been mediocre.

the clippers have to win both of their remaining games to have a chance to tie the thunder. they split the season series 2-2. assuming okc loses, and lac wins out, i think they have a better conference record and would get the 2 seed.

granted, this is assuming lac beats denver and portland, and okc loses to detroit.

 

[captainjackson]

brooklyn doesn't want to play the bulls again in a 7 game series, they got a better shot at eliminating the raptors.

They will rest everyone against the Cavs

interesting. If i were OKC or LAC I think i'd rather have the 3 seed and play the Warriors. Especially now that they lost Bogut

Theyd be stupid to trade him. Dude is 23 and one of the most athletic players in the L

 

[joe quimby]

Warriors clippers will be electrifying

Not if Hot Sauce has anything to say it about it

I would disagree. Winning two gold medals is pretty big time in anyone's basketball career.

 

[Peep Game]

The Nets on the bench looks like they've been decimated, damn this is a random game at the end of the season, they're in a good position

 

[imsneakerpimp]

Ah man, you stole/bit Jvinis style? I don't believe it....

Nah bulls dont have 5'9 mj anymore

Yeah, which is why I feel the Marcus Thornton signing was huge. They need some energy and young legs and I could see him getting hot and winning a game for them when everyone else is playing like ****

 

[captainjackson]

he hasn't gotten better since his rookie year, still can't shoot and is injury prone. knicks would be stupid to not trade him while his trade stock is high before he tears another ACL.

They still have Thibs

 

[imlive365]

They still have Thibs

Thibs? The coach who runs his players into the ground during the regular season.

Still a great coach regardless

Nets are mad Deep and seasoned, with a Coach that's been where they are going recently, anyone sleeping on the NETS in the playoffs because they are supposedly OLD, is tripping. Best teams in NBA happen to be the Oldest ( ex OKC)

Being old is only one of the reasons I'm sleeping.
