I had Denver in 5, New York in 5, and Indiana in 6

 

[charsace]

Ibaka just fainted like he lost all the water for his village.

rofl

Durant is gonna have to bring that water back if the thunder are gonna win.

 

[Cipherr]

None of them? Really?

Well... The Pacer Hawk series is completely knotted up and could go either way at this point. He is right, that one is not over.

 

[Red Blaster]

looking at the playoff predictions from the beginning of the thread, too many people overrated Denver, lowballed New York, and gave Pacer fuckball too much credit.

should've seen the andre miller taint coming

also doesn't help that george karl is getting completely and utterly owned by mark jackson

 

[ph33nix]

I'm starting to think Karl has COTY locked up

He seems more fit for the "Win COTY, get fired a year later" thing at this point

 

[Jeff-DSA]

What's up guys? Are the playoffs still happening?

I don't see Nuggets firing Karl at this point. Even if he loses in the first round yet again, getting a team with no real superstars to the playoffs two years in a row is no small feat.

he keeps putting andre miller on stephen curry and letting him go on these ridiculous scoring explosions where he gets 10-15 points in 3 minutes

iguodala has to be guarding curry almost all the time

so klay thompson can go off?

 

[Smokey]

I want SVG or JVG to coach the rockets. So much potential being wasted under McHale. Harden is going to rot. Mchale never challenges him on his awful hero ball and that's because mchale has no idea what to do himself

 

[fertygo]

I rather Klay Thompson going off than GOAT shooter.

Antawn Jamison is not expected to re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason.

Jamision will undergo wrist surgery on Tuesday for an injury sustained on March 22. Jamison played through the injury to help the already injury-depleted Lakers.

Jamison skipped his exit interview with the Lakers on Monday.

lol damn

Jamison is a pretty classy guy too so that's kind of concerning in terms of keeping Dwight.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

lol damn

Best part is that he turned down more money to play in LA for a chance to chip.

 

[white dynamite]

I'd take streaky as fuck Klay going off, rather than the best shooter in the league. You put your best defender on their best player, not their 4th best.

 

[Emwitus]

I rather Klay Thompson going off than GOAT shooter.

The guy is still over 40% from 3 for the season and is the reason warriors kept it close in game 1....But i guess the lesser of two evils.


And yeah, jamison doesn't seem to like kobe or d'antoni for that matter going from his comments.

 

[rando14]

Nope, Miami won

 

[Future PhaZe]

His production is going to be impossible to replace at the vet min--good shooting percentages, 9.4 PPG, 5 RPG on good shooting numbers--46% and 36% from deep.

Funny thing is Jamison had one of his most efficient seasons and a lot of other players off the bench were good too (Clark, Hill) and yet the Lakers still ended up being terrible despite the HOF starting 5.

but what about the defense doe and the fact that hill played 30 games

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Nope, Miami won

That's what I figured.

A few weeks ago when 710 ESPN asked him about what it was like playing for D'antoni and he didnt even have an answer. He was just silent then started laughing. Shit was amazing.

Everybody got injured, including jamison.

Funny thing is that Jamison didn't even get shook by gungate and was positive with our FO and coaching staff even during the darkest days of the Arenas era.

Extremely troubling to think that D'Antoni and the Lakers situation was worse than that.

 

[Fjordson]

Karl needs to put Iggy on Curry and then Iggy needs to work to fight through the screens like his life depended on it.

Jackon's coaching this series pretty well, though, so Golden State has just kept screening Curry's man with whoever Miller is guarding, they get the switch, and then Curry abuses Miller. Brewer also gets abused by Curry, but not so much because he's ancient like Miller, he's just terrible at staying with him off the ball.

I really hope we close it out tonight. I think we can with the way we're playing, but I hope Curry is able to have a solid game tonight. That eye looked nasty on Sunday. Him and Bogut playing big tonight could end the series.

 

[T Dollarz]

I am pretty confident the Nuggets will extend the series tonight

 

[LuchaShaq]

Their only competent defensive player had back surgery and is a giant crybaby quitter.

Fixed that for you.

If Dwight leaves the Lakers might set a record for worst defense next year without major additions.

I don't know if that's more of a race thing or more of a Rockstar makes boring and cliched characters thing.

Seriously that thread confuses the shit out of me.

I have no interest in GTA5 at all but Franklin is the only character who is remotely interesting.

 

[Red Blaster]

certain people in that thread are labeling franklin's trailer as the cliche one while extolling the other two when, as you mentioned, all the characters in gta games are absurdly exaggerated tropes

 

[Fjordson]

Franklin is not even the "cliche gangbanger" they're suggesting he is. At the start of GTA V he's employed by powerful Armenian gangsters jacking expensive cars. He's not just some low-level street thug.

Who play GTA for the character?

 

[Fjordson]

*raises hand*

 

[theignoramus]

just watched it. theyre all goons. Trevor looks like the most insane and over the top, Michael looks like the most slimey out of the three and Frank is probably the "morally conflicted" Niko-like character. I could see how if you hate rap music and urban culture you'd single out Frank.

 

[Baby Milo]

soooo hyped for GTAV

I thought they all looked interesting. Picking Jay Rock for Franklin's trailer is perfect.

 

[charsace]

I don't know if that's more of a race thing or more of a Rockstar makes boring and cliched characters thing.

Its race. People don't want to play as a minority if it isn't a woman with a crazy body wearing a skimpy outfit. The other two guys are similar in their design philosophy. Its the same shit with l4d2 where people liked the characters less. It usually meant they didn't want to play as the black characters.

please show us the light of what's it like to live the life of a cliched gangbanger from the hardknock urban life.

Someone in the nba-gaf community is coming out the closet shortly as well.

Heres a hint...his previous username began with a V and ended with an O.

I see one video on the front page with Broussard. I kind of feel dirty being on that website.

Edit: He's the president of this group as well.

 

[Fjordson]

There's a video on the front page of that website with him in it. Fast forwarded 'till he shows up and his first sentence is "I'm Chris Broussard the president of King".

Damn. Not a good look for Broussard.

He knows where to go if he wants to win a championship.

no there just insane. Here is a quote from one of the haters

As I said, the main characters in The Wire are police officers, not gangbangers. Same for Training Day.

how do you debate insane people? Anyhow I like all three characters and I can't wait to see the story. having 3 POV for some missions is going to be crazy....

Because it was never about the offense. The entire team had no trouble scoring.

speaking of the wire, time for episode 2. 1 was boring as shit lol.
