Is Zach going to be able to run for 4 games?

 

[Shun]

Westbrick, he out there.

 

[lil smoke]

Would you say this is the first predictable series.

 

[Vorheez]

Just turned the game on, hell are the grizz doin?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Do you understand how absurd this sentence is at its face? That's basically my point, in what sane universe does a team with as much defensive talent as Indiana get ripped apart by the likes of Jeff Teague?

Atlanta is not a good team.

Teague has always had the ability to beat guys off the dribble. He's just been a poor finisher. However, they're able to pull Hibbert out with Antic and Millsap, so he's getting whatever he wants. The ball movement is also real, so they're a bit of a handful if they're shots are falling. They're a better team than their record suggests. PEACE.

fuck the east

Also, Thunder doin work.

Your issue is that this might be too easy, and you guys NEED to win it all right now. You do not need an easy 1st series.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

reilo fix this shit!

I guess this thread will do for now


I TOLD YALL ATL IN 6

FUCK YOU UNKNOWN SYPHON

Memphis has completely been sucked into OKC's pace

 

[KingGondo]

I won't complain.

Honestly, I feel like as long as we're healthy we'll win the West. Don't care how we do it.

 

[Edgeward]

Dos Equis should sponsor the grizz with all those X's

 

[UnObtainium17]

Just turned the game on, hell are the grizz doin?

To early to tell but that first quarter is how I'm expecting Okc to handle this series.

Jesus hubie Brown ALWAYS murders gasol's last name.
Edit: okay his last mention of gasol sounds about right.

 

[lil smoke]

If OKC doesn't get the whole thing, they have problems.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

I'd fucking Luvvvvv if OKC met Miami in the finals.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Alba, man, Bulls are going to shock the world!

Getting swept by the Wiz!

 

[Vorheez]

Wooooaaah what? What's this about Sager? Dude has leukemia? Goddamn... That's just horrible to hear. Gonna be weird without him this year.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I'd fucking Luvvvvv if OKC met Miami in the finals.

Miami isn't making the Finals.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Miami isn't making the Finals.

lol k

 

[Glorified G]

If OKC doesn't get the whole thing, they have problems.

If KD keeps playing the way he has and Westbrook stays healthy I can't see why not. This Thunder team is better than the 2012 team that got out of the west due to the growth and improvement of the players. If OKC management weren't such cheapskates and payed Harden what he was worth they would be the easiest lock to win the title since the 01 Lakers.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I love the Beard and was sad to see him go.

He's still the worst defending two guard in the league.

I agree 100%. But minutes are minutes. I dunno.

They have to win now. If any team needs it, it is them. But they need to play a good team and get through some real shit. This won't cut it, I am really afraid for you guys.

 

[Glorified G]

I'm not a fan of Harden either. Ball dominant that loafs on D but OKC screwed the pooch there by not keeping that core together. There team was so good and already title contenders with their main players in their early 20s.

 

[MPW]

Miami isn't making the Finals.

yeah cause pacers are playing amazing .... oh wait

 

[CreepingFear]

Getting swept by the Wiz!

Bulls will be fine as long as Boozer continues to not play in the 4th. Fucking bum.

 

[Vestal]

Miami isn't making the Finals.

Thanks, that made me laugh.

Does Harden just not give a fuck or is his defensive awareness that awful?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Thanks, that made me laugh.

It's sad. At least four teams in the West would give them a run. There's basically Miami and a bunch of scrubs in the East. They could rest LeBron until the Finals.

Both. He certainly doesn't try, but he sucks when he does.

Edit: Love Chewbacca.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Yeah, Boozer's the problem. Not the "superstar" who is essentially about to miss his third playoffs in a row.

 

[Vestal]

Wow that George Karl interview on ESPN... Indian = BROKEN. They are Broken.

 

[Tragicomedy]

The good news for Memphis is it's basically impossible for them to play this poorly for the rest of the series.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

The Heat are the only team in the East that can legitimately win the title.

 

[CreepingFear]

Yeah, Boozer's the problem. Not the "superstar" who is essentially about to miss his third playoffs in a row.

It's not polite to talk bad about the dead.

 

[lil smoke]

Yeah, I mean I hate to say it, but maybe there are actually too many teams that play in the playoffs.

But you, we all know, we have seen some amazing turnarounds, shit happens in the NBA playoffs.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Oof. Cable's been out at the crib since the pre-game show and I don't have a smartphone. It just came back on and I really wish it hadn't.

I think Memphis would take most teams in the East.

I think we would struggle with the Hawks just as the Pacers did. They rocked us during the season series, iirc (Edit: I am totally wrong. We swept them but they were close.). We've gotten better at outside shooting, but usually can't run with teams who just jack up threes all day long.

Can you imagine them expanding the playoffs? Bring the Knicks into the playoffs for extra laughs.

Perkins...haha.

I hope they don't expand the playoffs. 16 teams is good. When the league expands again, that number should remain. I think the league should do a mid season tournament that affects seeding. It would create some excitement in the regular season. PEACE.

No one would want to play a hot Knick team with Stat, JR, and Melo hot at peak time. If they had a coach...

edit: I don't even want to go there. lol

[Tragicomedy]

I turned the channel for a few minutes.

We have a game!

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

My cable still keeps dropping in and out; was Westbrook hurt or something in the first half? I'm not used to him reacting so calmly to mistakes. Dude looks out of it in the brief flashes of motion I'm getting over here.

Nah, he had a great first half. He's just switched over to Why Not mode. :/

 

[Psychological Intellect]

And the lead is 9

 

[lil smoke]

I'm not used to him reacting so calmly to mistakes. .

LOL yeah seriously. but no, you would expect at certain times they are gonna get tired of whopping Memphis' ass.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Memphis finally slowed it down

 

[jman2050]

FThunder strikes again

 

[Cloudy]

There was ZERO contact there

 

[lil smoke]

They could almost NOT call that foul imho

There was ZERO contact there

Like minds.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

TONY DIDN'T TAKE THE THREE YOU GUYS

OMG

Edit: Lol Jackson. All the time in the world.

 

[Instro]

This is great stuff. Memphis sacked up big time.

 

[jman2050]

Durant is getting absolutely harassed on every possession.

This really is going to come down to how much of YNot we get.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Tony Allen is playing some godlike defense.

LeBron take note.
