1 seed is gonna have to go through OKC in the second round. no thanks. im fine with the 2 seed

Grizzles are not gonna lay down if they get that 8 seed either, they match up well with SA.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Fisher is dirtier than Garnett.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Another good night for the Lakers.

Would have liked to see Chicago lose, but Memphis dropping one to give NO a small cushion was the next best thing.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I know Jonas Valanciunas can't defend or create his own shot at this point in his career, but I still love him as a prospect. Dude just knows how to play and has a great attitude, hands, and wingspan. At worst, he's an efficient double-double guy who's awesome in the locker room, I want the Jazz to get him.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I really hope the seeding stays as is out West. It's absolutely perfect for us.

Fisher is dirtier than Garnett.

When Fish jabs a player in the nut-sack come get me. Until then, just stop.

yeah, I just want Spurs to feel some pressure, is all. Definitely don't want OKC in round 2.

Kaman tried to lay Fisher out on a screen away from the play.

Yeah, it was a game that helped LAL one way or another.

Lakers defeating Hornets on Sunday is kind of a catch-22.

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the Thunders can even get past the Nuggets though.

Not that the Nuggets are easy to get by with the way they've been playing.

2nd round against Dallas with home court is definitely the easiest path. The most important thing is that Portland holding onto that 6th seed (which they should with West out for the season). The Lakers definitely don't want to see them in the playoffs.

They drop one more and the Rocket's in. They are only 1 game behind in the lost column with the season series locked up.

Ahh come on man that's not even remotely true.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I don't even want the 1 seed anymore. Memphis always plays us hard and gritty. Also, the Rockets are right on their heels. Yet another team that gives us everything they've got every time they hit the court.

Fuck the 1 seed.

 

[Kevtones]

Rundown:

Portland was down 4 with 35 seconds.

35 seconds -Andre Miller steals it from Parker and hits a fastbreak layup.
8 seconds - Wesley Matthews steals from Manu and drives, misses, Batum gets fouled on the put back with 0.9 left and he hits both.
0.9 - Spurs throw it of bounds on their inbound on Portland's end
0.9 - Miller to Batum alley oop tip for the win.


Beautiful.

Yea, the OKC-DEN series will be entertaining.

Not worried about Portland.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Ahh come on man that's not even remotely true.

Just fucking with you Laker fans but he certainly isn't innocent, guy has a lot of tricks he pulls.

I can't believe the Suns game where he flailed whenever Nash touched him away from the ball.

I would tell him to get in the weight room but one thing he does have is "guns".

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Okay...

Dude just knows how to play

..wait.

 

[thekad]

uhhh, really?

 

[dream]

KG has never full on sucker punched a man before.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Okay...



..wait.

Kevin Love can't do either either and I don't think people would argue that he has a poor understanding of the game. Valanciunas moves extremely well without the ball and knows where most rebounds are going going from what I've seen of him.

 

[The Chosen One]

Just saw the box score to the Raptor v. Warrior game... WTF

Also I want to see the top 3 in the East look like this:
1. BOS
2. CHI
3. MIA

...and the Czz are phucking it up. I want the Heat to face both CHI and BOS if they advance. I don't want the Superfriends anywhere near the Finals.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Oh, yeah, Sullinger just confirmed that he's going back to OSU. Just need Barnes to go back for it to be the worst draft ever, oh yeah.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Knicks lost.

Nuggets won.

Today is a normal day. Go Nuggets!

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

I can't wait to see Spurs-age when we catch 'em for the first seed.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Two fucking awful losses that should've never happened, even without TD. Both games were under control until the team decided to stop playing. It was a heartless performance of Mavericks proportions.

 

[Derwind]

I can't wait to see Spurs-age when we catch 'em for the first seed.

If you're speaking as a lakers fan. You should know its statistically near 0 possibility of you getting the first seed now.

They're 5 games ahead of you at the moment.

You'd basically have to win nearly all you games and need the spurs to lose a good portion of there games.

You should be more worried about Dallas over taking your #2 spot right now. :/

 

[Anth0ny]

so... toronto gives up 84 in one half to the warriors? the cavs win? the kings blow out the pacers? blake misses a dunk? bobcats hand the celtics their first loss on home court to an eastern conference team? THE END OF THAT SAN ANTONIO GAME?!?!?!?

tonight was fucked up.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

Just got home. Just saw the "highlights"

LOL Artest

Kobe on Kaman wanting to mix it up with Fisher: "What’s he going to do, shoot him with one of his bow and arrows? Give me a break."

haha.

 

[SamuraiX-]

God damn.

Executed to perfection.

Parker saw it at the last second. If he had another inch or two on him he could have easily intercepted that.

haha.

DAYUM

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

hahaha, oh man, everyone guess how many boards Bargs has tonight in 27 mins.

I like how Portland trolled the Spurs by using the same play San Antonio failed to do and winning with it.

The whole in bound alley-oop pass.

 

[The Frankman]

...I blame Robert Randolph and the Family Band.

If I can get enough support from Knicks-GAF I'm going to start a "Sign Earl Barron" viral campaign. Pass out flyers, Twitter/Facebook groups, show up at MSG before home games and shit.

Sick statline for Wade tonigh, jesus.

39pts (15-26), 11rbs, 8 assists, 5 blocks.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Ha where did you read that?

Yeah Fisher is definitely a crafty little bastard.

Over past 25 years, only player to match Dwyane Wade's line of 39 pts, 11 rebs, 8 asts, 5 blks, and 3 stl? Shaq in 2001.

yeh, just wait till Paul joins the Knicks.


I'm sure the Hornets will go for a billups/douglas/fields package.

 

[Derwind]

Tommy Beer: D’Antoni addressed possible Earl Barron addition. Hinted it's unlikely. He (rhetorically) asked: “Is he better than Shelden Williams?”

Sorry Frankman. He just doesn't fit the Pringles scheme. :shrug

 

[AlphaSnake]

yeh, just wait till Paul joins the Knicks.


I'm sure the Hornets will go for a billups/douglas/fields package.

I'm fairly certain this won't happen. The Knicks are more aware than ever that they simply need a legit center. D'Antoni will get fired, and we'll get a new center. Turfiaf, Balkman, and Shelden Williams will likely get traded away for a mid-level center.

 

[rc213]

Knicks should pick up Congo cash for dacos and championship experience.

I doubt Mike D goes anywhere anytime soon...

That package is almost worthless. Balkman is not even an expirer. No way that gets you an upgrade over Turiaf. Knicks have little room to explore options until we know more about the new CBA, which might make things even worse.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Well I'm happy I didn't watch yesterday lol

 

[ph33nix]

On Cowherd's podcast he said he sat by an Eastern Conference executive and claims that guy said "In our market, we could use a white guard"

...I'll bet that it was Indiana

 

[Cloudy]

Has an MVP ever not made NBA first team? I don't see how Rose can make it over Kobe or Wade

 

[Darkman M]

Rose & Kobe will be the guards, wade is definitely worthy though.

 

[ph33nix]

I think Rose is definitely first team, because he does deserve it but he's getting major hype. Wade and Kobe will split votes though I think...it is really weird to think one of those two will not be a first teamer, damn.

Rose's shooting % isn't high but I've never believed in #s that strongly (unless it reaches Iverson/Antoine levels)...his play is first team caliber though
