The NBA has to switch some Eastern Conference teams with some Western Conference teams. They have to. I don't care if it makes geographic sense or not.

They could always give the Eastern Conference Minnesota or New Orleans (once Stern fixes the draft to give them Unibrow Davis)

Memphis should already be an EC team. Makes no sense that they aren't other than the fact that NBA was too lazy to put them in a different conference when they moved from Vancouver.
 
Why in the fuck is such a young team doing nothing but shooting contested jumpers? This is all on the coach.

Turner is a bad athlete.

Iggy can't get to the basket.

Holiday isn't good.

Lou Williams is all about shooting contested jumpers.

Their players don't really have a post game.

So what else are they supposed to do?
 
Wait...I think I got it.


Doug know we are going to lose....so he's giving Turner enough rope to hang himself and thus put the blame on him.

It;s the coach version of "not my fault fellas".

Ingenious.

R.I.P Evan Turner.

Holy crap... 23% FG, 0-2 3 pointers, 62% free throws... the Sixers are fortunate to be down only 15 points at the half.

Edit: Breaking it down further, they got 12 points off of fast breaks and 13 free throws... so that means only 6 points were scored in a half court offense.

Indiana’s starting five of Paul George, Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert, George Hill and David West has been the most successful five-man lineup in this year’s postseason. It has a better plus-minus, has scored more points and has a better rebounding margin than any other five-man lineup in the playoffs.

In eight postseason games, Indiana's starting five has outscored its opponents by 79 points and outrebounded them by 68.

During the regular season, George, Granger, Hibbert, Hill and West started just eight games together, and the Pacers were 7-1 in those games. They played just 229 minutes together and outscored their opponents by 72 points.

In the playoffs, they’ve already played together for 176 minutes, and the formula continues to be successful.

Since the 2008 playoffs, only four lineups have finished with a plus-minus that’s been as good as Indiana’s +79. Three of those teams reached the NBA Finals and two won the NBA championship, including the Mavericks’ lineup last year of Tyson Chandler, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry.

Just for ugly shits and gigs. Don't need to ramble about there being no Dwight and no Bosh. We all know.

My song for the Heat this postseason.

Spoon - The Underdog

You got no time for the messenger
Got no regard for the thing
That you don't understand
You got no fear of the underdog
That's why you will not survive

lol

Its hilarious how much you act like a Heat fan.

I meant to respond earlier but had to stop when flashbacks to Indiana/Orlanda hit me again and forced me to dry heave.

Indiana's passing is not underrated. Its bad. Maybe one or two steps above Sacramento - and its another reason why I hate the team. They don't fully utilize West's ability in the pick and roll and instead opt to simply run a play at the high post which... isn't going to do shit but put West at the high post (which more times than not is the only movement that takes place in that set - which happens to be one of Indiana's go to plays). It limits the options of the offense. And I have no idea why Vogel is so content with putting Granger in the corner and just letting him sit there while this happens. Its like real motion in an offense makes his head hurt.

Also, Hibbert is a good passer. But again, it doesn't matter because the places where they get him the ball don't allow him to take advantage of this. Vogel TRIES by having Hibbert sit at the top of the paint in a pathetic attempt to draw out opposing bigs, but no team respects Hibberts shot enough to bite consistently and Indiana's off-ball movement is below average outside of Hill.

But we can be LLL bros.
