Crazy that everyone was arguing this February about who should make the All-Star team between Aldridge, Love, Griffin, and Duncan, and the unsung Z-Bo's going to the only playing in May.

I haven't seen much of this Spurs-Grizz series, how does it rate compared to the Mavs-Warriors 1-8 meltdown?

 

[smurfx]

wait a minute. branduil switches from the mavericks to the lakers and suddenly dallas wins and lakers lose. dammit branduil switch back. if the spurs lose then i was one of the only ones to call it.

honestly if i remember correctly the mavs vs warriors series you could tell the warriors were underdogs throughout the series.

Watching the grizz vs spurs at times you wonder how the spurs made the playoffs.

 

[TylerD]

Fun fact... Before tonight, Nuggs were shooting 28% in the paint and 56% at the rim.

 

[pilonv1]

@jadande In a just world the next round would be Vancouver vs. Seattle. I would've paid my own airfare to be at that series. about an hour ago

NBA-gaf mods getting trolled

 

[overcast]

It was pretty crazy. Even my wife's parents who never stand up jumped out of their set.

This was so badass.

 

[Bishman]

Kidd: 14 assists
Blazers: 13 assists

Awesome game by Kidd tonight.

Interesting stat: Blazers shot 26.3% outside the paint.

A series against Memphis could end up being a slugfest.

This game is actually going well. The only thing we didn't want was Denver jumping out to a big lead and getting the crowd behind them.

The story of this series is OKC's bench outplaying Denver's bench. Denver is supposed to have the best bench (since the trade) so it's kind of a big deal.

That and Ibaka turning into a legit #3.


edit: What is denver's FT% in this series? It's got to be god awful.

 

[dream]

uhoh, lover's spat between K-Dur and Bestbrook?

 

[KingGondo]

KD needs to put him in his place. Westbrook goes into hero mode at the drop of a hat, and there are lots of easy assists out there for him if he'll just look.

 

[Bread]

wait a minute. branduil switches from the mavericks to the lakers and suddenly dallas wins and lakers lose. dammit branduil switch back. if the spurs lose then i was one of the only ones to call it.

Oh he knows what he's doing.

Man, if only Derrick Rose had someone like K-Dur keeping him in check.

 

[Black Mamba]

If Ibaka is for real as a legit #3 option going forward, that's it for OKC. They've got that championship core and the role players. Only thing lacking is experience.


How the fuck did Jeff Green get so many minutes ahead of Ibaka. Ibaka is 10 times the player Green is. It's really not close.

Perk with a really stupid move.

 

[dream]

I see what you mean about Bestbrook hero ball, Gondo.

 

[Godslay]

Birdman, sometimes it seems like you are the only one that cares...

 

[KingGondo]

Perk is just trying to keep things close and prepare us for the pressure of later rounds.

Glad to hear it.

It was an amazing game on TV so i know in person it had to be electric.

 

[TylerD]

Hero ball sucks but that is what we have to deal with sometimes.

 

[Cloudy]

Pop continuing to play Bonner is almost as bad as Phil sticking with Fisher even as he's getting burned over and over again. I don't get it, Splitter seems like he can play. When did Pop buy into this D'Antoni shit?

 

[The M.O.B]

For Those that missed it.

Eric Maynor Non-Buzzer Beater

Didn't count but still nice shot.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lol Serge Chewbaka. A new nickname is born

 

[KingGondo]

"Pass it to Chewbacca!"

Chuck, you crazy.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Charles and Kenny roasting Westbrook for his chucking.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Lol Serge Chewbaka. A new nickname is born

Sir Chewbacca.

Oh, and aloha from Haleiwa, Hawaii.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Chuck is just keeping it real about New York.

 

[Black Mamba]

Chuck trollin' Knicks-age hard tonight. OVERRATED BASKETBALL CITY!

haha, webber too.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

New York Mecca my ass. Basketball wasn't even invented in this country.

 

[ph33nix]

b-b-b-but there are playgrounds on every block and every kid wants to be like carmelo anthony!

 

[dream]

I missed all the New York trolling. Can someone summarize it for little ole dream who hates few things more than New York Basketball?

 

[Ickman3400]

He just said it's the most overrated basketball city. The other guys kept shouting over him so he couldn't really say anything else.

The question was something like "why is NY the basketball mecca when so many all stars are comin from chicago"

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Oh, and aloha from Haleiwa, Hawaii.

Meanwhile, I'm still working...man, I need a vacation.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

b-b-b-but there are playgrounds on every block and every kid wants to be like carmelo anthony!

They're all at the Rucker doing shitty And1 mixtape moves while Naismith rolls over in his grave.

 

[Blackace]

Don't you mean Textbook Westbrook?

By UCLA standards...

 

[Blackace]

New York Mecca my ass. Basketball wasn't even invented in this country.

Uh.. yes it was..

This has to be his last run.

 

[Black Mamba]

horrible charge call, there.

Trainers have to okay him not doing it and they did, so they don't think it's serious.

but yeah, it's weird.


Nuggets FT woes is amazing.

 

[Duki]

lol, he won't even get x-rays.

Well at least he passed Jordan in games played

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Reminder: Aaron Brooks won 2010 MIP over Zach Randolph. That could go down as the worst award selection of all time.

 

[Vicetrailia]

It's hard to believe that Durant can shoot that 3 so easily. So dangerous.

 

[thekad]

Yeah, Z-Bo came out of nowhere.

 

[dream]

dunno about 'run'

Why are you so funny?

 

[sf2fanatic]

lol, he won't even get x-rays.

Kobe's a G. He'll see Arnold and he be "take two of these and call me when u win"....LOL

 

[Branduil]

Reminder: Aaron Brooks won 2010 MIP over Zach Randolph. That could go down as the worst award selection of all time.

It's fine as long as you give him a most declined award this year.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Uh.. yes it was..

In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith,[2] a Canadian-born physical education professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School[3] (YMCA) (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or point scored; this proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was removed,[4] allowing the balls to be poked out with a long dowel each time

Crap. Well he is Canadian........so yea..... :-(

Hell of a game right now
