Damn this thread is buried in the cut. Bobcats tanking the fuck out of this season. If only my Pistons were like you

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

This is difficult as a Bulls fan, but I'd root for Miami over this OKC team.

Non Heat fans shouldn't root for the Heat.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

This guy would.

They really have nothing to offer worth dropping Wade.

 

[LuchaShaq]

No one wants Wade, too expensive and too old. He's in a similar situation as Kobe but not as bad yet.

This.

Only nets/Magic would take him but probably not send you shit worth anything back.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

That was a very terrible and dangerous foul.

No way.

 

[Xplatformer]

How did Boston get back in the game?

It'd be nice if OKC and San Antonio could both lose today, and the Lakers win.

 

[Puddles]

Also, the Westbrook foul on LeBron wasn't dirty at all.

That'd be pretty terrible really.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Explain how westbrooks hold is less/more dangerous than LBJ's chase down blocks where he hits the player mid air all the time, too?

If Bron makes contact with something other than the ball, then its as dangerous and should be called.

The refs obviously over reacted in the heat of the moment, everyone should have seen it coming.

I don't think there's any way that the Lakers could catch OKC at this point without going nearly undefeated from here to the end of the season AND having OKC AND the Spurs lose most of their games the rest of the way.

 

[Puddles]

You could literally break LeBron's leg on a play, and it wouldn't have been a dirty foul.

 

[jjasper]

Time for me to admit it. Arenas was a good pick up. Huge upgrade over Pargo/Selby.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

No one is catching OKC, Lakers still got a chance at the 2 seed though. A tiny microscopic chance, but a chance.


They play SAS 3 times before the end of the season.

 

[K.Jack]

LBJ = first half hero

 

[Triple U]

OKC/Heat is great so far.

 

[masud]

Lebron, so clutch right now. Lebron.

 

[LuchaShaq]

You could literally break LeBron's leg on a play, and it wouldn't have been a dirty foul.

We get it Lebron fucked your girl/burnt your house down. You don't need to keep reliving the horror.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

But I thought LeBron sucked

 

[Xplatformer]

Best half of basketball I've seen this year... Okc vs. Heat.

Hate both teams but a thoroughly enjoyable game.

 

[Dominican Power]

 

[diehard]

i'm back bitches

 

[SunhiLegend]

That was an awesome first half

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This.

Only nets/Magic would take him but probably not send you shit worth anything back.

I'm pretty sure a lot of teams would take a guy who has probably has two years left at MVP/best player on a title team level and is making a little less than the max.

 

[thekad]

Westbrook's foul on Lebron wasn't dirty. YNB's just an idiot.

Perkins' foul on Wade was the bitch made one.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Westbrook is fucking up right now. Trying to hard to shut the crowd up.

 

[weekend_warrior]

That would have been amazing if it happened at the end of the second half and not the first.

 

[h3ro]

Dear best-gaf, if you have the chance to pick some of this up, do it!

It's Abita Strawberry Harvest. Fantastic beer. Couldn't believe I found some at a local distributor, it's a rare seasonal from Louisiana. Perfect accompaniment to this game.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

There's an incredible amount of non-smoking commercials during NBA games.

 

[white dynamite]

Agent 10 looking like Agent 0 tonight.

 

[Alrix]

lol, katy perry is so out of place in that adidas commercial.

 

[Puddles]

We get it Lebron fucked your girl/burnt your house down. You don't need to keep reliving the horror.

I'm just trying to keep things in perspective in this thread.

 

[DJ88]

I love it when James seems to finally give a shit and takes complete control over a game like this one. You see a tiny glimpse of that killer instinct everyone says he lacks. Wish it'd happen more often.

 

[Big Baybee]

I live in Louisiana, and yes, this beer is amazing. Abita is the shit.

respek knuckles.

I'm jealous. I did a double take when I saw it available, took both the sixpacks that my distributor got.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Who?

2 years of great ball isn't helping anyone but boarder line contenders who won't want to give up the players/prospects or picks necessary to get Wade.

I don't think you can find a deal that would be worthwhile for whoever receives Wade and The Heat. Maybe Stern sends Gordon and Kaman or something crazy like that but nothing a levelheaded GM should sign off on.

 

[obijkenobi]

Spurs haven't played this bad in I don't know how long :/

 

[ratcliffja]

No one is catching OKC, Lakers still got a chance at the 2 seed though. A tiny microscopic chance, but a chance.


They play SAS 3 times before the end of the season.

The Spurs are only 2 back of OKC, so they can definitely catch them. I doubt that they will, but I'd say that they have a much higher chance of it than the Lakers do of catching the Spurs.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Just saw WB's foul...That was pretty ugly

 

[Emwitus]

Boston doesn't want to lose eh? And spurs look like their trying to tank. What was that random 3 chuck on the last play?

 

[Knux-Future]

I'm not even mad.


Not even mad.




...not eve....

 

[giri]

If Bron makes contact with something other than the ball, then its as dangerous and should be called.

Yeah, but it's never called, and never called dirty. I'm just pointing out the hypocritical nature of it.

Westbrook's foul on Lebron wasn't dirty. YNB's just an idiot.

Perkins' foul on Wade was the bitch made one.

Bitch made... eh, he took a cheap shot at wade. But plenty of those happen through out games. Probably worth a tech when its that obvious though.

I could see Indiana wanting him for maybe Hibbertt and either George or Granger.

 

[hobz360]

The hell was Kobe carrying?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

That's considered black, wilbon? Back on mute for this broadcast.

 

[Black Mamba]

Lebron had a hell of a half, there.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Wont happen. They gave up a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter v Memphis last night. Tank mode is on.

What did I tell you

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

The Spurs are only 2 back of OKC, so they can definitely catch them. I doubt that they will, but I'd say that they have a much higher chance of it than the Lakers do of catching the Spurs.

You're right.


Holy shit, SAS totally snuck up on me. Last time I checked the standings OKC was far and away The WC leaders.

 

[Puddles]

Yeah, but it's never called, and never called dirty. I'm just pointing out the hypocritical nature of it.

Bron should foul out at least one game in three. Instead he's on the short list for DPOY.

People are morons, and Stern is Stern.

 

[TylerD]

Nothing is worrying me much so far. We were getting close to really extending that lead then the refs absolutely kill any flow of the game and start calling it virgin tight and the Heat got to camp at their end of the court for a couple of minutes.

Dumb fouls by Perk and Russ but flagrants? Perk maybe.

2nd half should be fun, Thunder are not scared of the Heat. Not at all.

 

[Xplatformer]

All of a sudden Boston/SAS got good too.

Hopefully Laker game won't suck.
