I just got Magic vs Grizzlies as the Finals matchup in the ESPN Playoff Simulator.

EDIT: Second try, Magic versus Heat, with Dallas winning. lol

 

[Raging Spaniard]

I'd rather have the guy who I think will be good over the guy who I've really come to doubt will be.

Rubio is going to be fine. The kid works extremely hard and he already has the vision and defense, the shot will come in due time.

Not to belittle the college kid though, I know nothing about college ball. Although I do think you go with the consistently good player over the one kid who played great in one game that went to a lot of OT's ...

Jazz's injured list could beat your starters:


PG: Devin Harris
SG: Ronnie Price
SF: Gordon Hayward
PF: Paul Millsap
C: Memo Okur


That's right.

I just made my NCAA bracket. Really had no idea what I was doing. I was just picking teams based on what I've heard, their records, and the toughness of the conference they play in. lol

My Final Four teams are: Duke, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame.

Thoughts?

Too many #1 seeds.

And in general, don't get too cute with upsets. They don't happen all that often in reality.

Don't we have a NCAAB thread? Not to be rude or anything, but a lot of us in this thread don't follow NCAA, so you might be better off asking there.

Haha that's awful. The Canadiens look like they're in some kind of fucked up beauty pageant.

Always have one 16 seed upset. There's always been one every year of the tourney.

Yep, you do know nothing about college ball.

Hey, you go ahead and pick Johnny Flynn, go.

Remember some people said Flynn would be better than Gallinari.

Kemba Walker >> Jonny Flynn.

Yeah, I know. I just kinda wanted the opinion of NBA GAF based on whatever they follow (if anything).

And I read somewhere that a 16 seed upset has never happened in the history of the NCAA...?

 

[EvilMario]

Oh dear.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Kemba Walker >> Jonny Flynn.

This. It's really not close. I mean, I guess people are going to see a small Big East guard and think Flynn, but it's not apt. What should have been a huge red flag for Jonny's future is that Flynn turned the ball over a ton in college. For Walker's monster usage rate this year, he's only turning it over at a rate of 2.2 per game. That's pretty great for everything UConn has him do.

It hasn't. 4/13, 5/12 are where you pick your upsets.

You must have read my post wrong cause thats exactly what i meant.

 

[SamuraiX-]

I haven't seen much of Kemba Walker, but why do I keep thinking he'll end up being Jameer Nelson Part 2?

So pathetic of Sterling. I remember when Turiaf failed his original physical because Lakers realized he needed heart surgery. Paid for it not even knowing if he'd ever be able to play. I'm sure 29 of 30 teams would have done the same.

The one that won't...

Shit, even Dolan would pay for sexual harassment attorney fees.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Oh dear.

Almost everytime I simulate the lakers get upset, and almost never reach the finals.

Wow.

Ginobili is shooting his worst percentage from the field since his sophomore season.

What happened?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

33 years old.

 

[reilo]

Wow.

Ginobili is shooting his worst percentage from the field since his sophomore season.

What happened?

He's shooting a career-high in three-pointers but only connecting on 34%. His two-point FG% is stellar at 50% though.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Wow.

that's the one bald spot in the spurs success this season, Ginobli's shooting percentage.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

He still has a nose for getting to the rim though.

That explains it. He really needs to tone it down from 3. They have enough shooters this season. No idea why he's chucking so much.

that's the one bald spot in the spurs success this season, Ginobli's shooting percentage.

What you did there, I see it.

Also, what's up with your new tag? lol

Edit: Oh, I think I figured it out. You told him you want his account if the shit happens to hit the fan even harder in Japan. lawlz

For fuck's sake.

Soo shitty. I love how Tommy Hilfiger spent all of 5 min on the designs that were likely done by the intern that fetches them all coffee.

You're a Rockette's fan, right?

I am a Timberwolves fan.

He's more a fan of trolling than a fan of anything NBA.

Stay out of the matrix, Frankman.

Dallas does a fine job of defeating themselves.

 

[kevo_huevo]

Dallas does a fine job of defeating themselves.

Mavs are 18-44 lifetime in games played at Portland.

However, Mavs are 21-6 against the Blazers in more recent history.

But, Mavs have been unimpressive lately (save for dirk and matrix) and will lose when Brian Cardinal misses a desperation 3 after logging 40 minutes of play.

ESPN's Playoff Predictor is out

This is great!

I'm waiting on a lineup to be put out that has dirk @ the 2. Carlisle's defense ? "They did it in the all star game!".

 

[The Stealth Fox]

It doesn't help that Cuban always tries to build around Dirk using washed up old veterans.

No EM? EM is very competitive now anyway, if STEP1 isn't 230+ you aren't guaranteed a decent shot.

All the MS4s at my school just got their match results in.

Yeah I know "LLL", "tha fuck are you" etc but being an NBA fan in Australia during the 90's meant that you were fed a steady diet of Bulls games and nothing else. Having the GOAT didn't hurt either.

Anyway, due to my timezone I can't really watch games live during the week but i've usually got Gamecast open in my browser so i'll attempt to contribute in real time as much as possible.

Cheers!
