H8 both of these teams

[Juan]

holy shit this game

[Triple A]

damn bro

Feel so bad/dejected for GS

[Juan]

lol my nephew is a huge GS fan and he just text me "heart hurts"

[itsmeJD]

Only thing I knew about Golden State before tonight was Latrell Sprewell and choking P.J. Carlesimo

[Juan]

You don't remember when they were the 8 seed and eliminated the number one seed Mavericks a few years ago?

I prefer to be remember happier thoughts. :D

[Next Big Thing]

Real question...no trolling. Woul you sign and trade Derrick Rose for Chris Paul

Every time I hear the name Chris Paul I get sick to my stomach thinking about what the Hawks could have had. Dude even went on record saying he wanted to play in Atlanta and instead... Marvin Williams. Dude wasn't even a starter at UNC!

Hopefully, that wrong can be corrected this free agent period.

[Ruien]

Real question...no trolling. Woul you sign and trade Derrick Rose for Chris Paul

No but fuck D Rose. Chris Paul has some years built up on him. I would take Westbrook for D Rose though.

[Ermaximus]

At this point, I'd take Gasol or Rubio over Rose.

[Krimzon7]

Was a brief rumor going around that even those in the Bulls organization think he might never return to previous form. Bottom line is no one knows what he'l be like. Should the Vikes have done the same with Adrian Peterson?

Answer: No. Rose and the Bulls have too much invested in each other and his overall competitive spirit gives me hope for him. This years not-coming-back debacle aside, the kid has always set a huge goal every off season and delivered (Jump shot, 3 Pointers, Stamina). He gets the benefit of the doubt from me.
I can see the similarity of AD having an ACL tear and D Rose...but the similarities end there. Where Peterson did everything to come back...DRose is taking his sweet fucking time at the detriment of his team and his city...that's gotta be pissing off the Front office. They've been known to make some drastic moves.

Why could he come here In your opinion? What parts would excite him more than staying put in LA?

No but fuck D Rose. Chris Paul has some years built up on him. I would take Westbrook for D Rose though.

Hmm, I wonder if this becomes a prevailing thought among fans. I mean if people can hate Lebron for his 'Decision' how can they not give DRose a little grief for his?

THank you all for your responses.:y:

[Next Big Thing]

Why could he come here In your opinion? What parts would excite him more than staying put in LA?

It's barely above a pipe dream at this point for sure, but Danny Ferry cleared space solely to make a run at Howard and Paul and I think the fact that Paul declined the initial extension is some indication that he isn't all that committed to LA.

I personally think Dallas has the inside track on both of those guys, but if Ferry can convince Dwight to come home, I think Chris would at least consider it. If they keep J-Smoove as well, who is one of Dwight's best friends, I think the odds increase a bit more.

I can believe dammit!

[DaveBrawl]

They can forgive DRose because ESPN isn't all over his layoff and talking about it at every opening like they do with LeBron. DRose can pretty much be an afterthought aside from Bulls fans whereas they pretty much villainized LeBron.

[Frank Drebin]

Thats the thing....we have no idea whats going on. The story has changed multiple times from multiple sources. We don't KNOW what the hell is going on. Is he taking his time? Has he re-torn his ACL? Could be either or anything in between. If I pick an angle, it couldn't be proven or dis-proven.

Memba when everyone thought Cutler was a puss for not going back into the NFC Championship? Yeah....he was f'n hurt, and people still bitched.

Hmm, I wonder if this becomes a prevailing thought among fans.

It is starting to turn that way. Take a look at Ruien's thoughts. Again, its because we haven't gotten a straight answer from the player. Why have we not gotten one? Who knows. That's where the frustration comes in. I stress patience based on past performances, but I understand Ruien.

Ill be interested to see what happens if the Bulls advance. What would happen if the Bulls, say, go to the Finals without Rose?? I think thats why they haven't definitively said he isnt coming back - even if he is to be used as a decoy, let the opposing coach spend time on him.

[Emperor Smeat]

Real question...no trolling. Woul you sign and trade Derrick Rose for Chris Paul

Nope. Rose's star value is a lot lower now than Paul's especially with how good the Bulls have been this year.

If I was the Bulls GM, I'd make the trade but no way the Clippers GM takes Rose without more players and/or picks added.

Could be fair and make the trade between Rose and Rondo (both are injured stars) but even then the deal would be bad for the Celtics unless the Bulls added more.

[Triple A]

seems like Felton has like an 85% fg percentage in the playoffs

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Good to see the knicks fans here caring about winning a playoff game.

[ClockShot]

Glad to see the Knickerbockers showed up this time around.

[Skippord]

as a point guard?

[Ermaximus]

Double technical foul? The fuck?

[Ermaximus]

Lol Birdman is such a fucking schmuck.

[Ruien]

The next game is going to be brutal. Bulls really need to dig deep and hope Deng comesback.

[Juan]

Go Warriors!

[Nark Order]

Really happy to see Golden State in the 2nd round of the playoffs. They've waited awhile for another playoff spot.

[Krimzon7]

That was the type of game we needed. We showed a lot of grit and ferocity in beating the shit out of Chicago.

Very happy for Mark Jackson, and the Warriors. I love listening in on him talking to his team. He seems to be on the exact same wavelength with his players. That type of synergy is amazing to see.


There should be co coaches of the year. Thibs is doing a masterful job, Karl deserves some love, Del Negro had the Clippers in the number 3 seed, and Mark Jackson has your Golden State Warriors in the conference semis.

Split that damn trophy up into five pieces right now.

[DaveBrawl]

You leave that trophy where it is.

[Ermaximus]

Really hoping some Chicago fans jump Chris Anderson before the game tomorrow night. He is a total piece of shit. Fuck that guy.

[Nark Order]

Don't hate on The Birdman.

[Ruien]

Really hoping some Chicago fans jump Chris Anderson before the game tomorrow night. He is a total piece of shit. Fuck that guy.

Meh. He is doing what he needs to do really. It is one of the reasons he was brought in.

Was thinking of going to one of the games but tickets cost like 300+ this series :(. Game 3 against the Nets was a BLAST.

[Skippord]

I am a fan of you Ermaximus, but if you ever say another unkind word about Chris "Birdman" Andersen again I will skullfuck you.

[DaveBrawl]

You know that's right.

[screech]

Really hoping some Chicago fans jump Chris Anderson before the game tomorrow night. He is a total piece of shit. Fuck that guy.

Why is he feces?

[Crimson]

Who the hell schedules these playoff games. Why do the Knicks/Pacers get more days off ?

[Ermaximus]

Why is he feces?

I just find him to be a terrible human being and a sub-par player at best. And Skippord, I realize you and Davebrawl love him because he was once a Nugget, but he isn't anymore.

[Skippord]

I actually love him because he seems like a really nice(if super dumb) guy.

[Ermaximus]

Going to be a long night.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seattle group trying to win ownership of the Kings (and eventually move them to Seattle) upped their bid to $625 million.

NBA originally leaned towards favoring the Sacramento group when the bid difference was just $25 million but could change their mind now that its $100 million apart.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9262629/seattle-group-raises-bid-sacramento-kings-625-million

[Ermaximus]

Dude, you could easily make a drinking game out of all the bullshit calls in favor of Lebron. That was so not a foul on Butler.

[Ermaximus]

Little Nate doing work again tonight.

[Nark Order]

So ridiculous that this Seattle garbage is still going on.

[Ermaximus]

Never noticed how much Noriss Cole looks like Waldo Faldo from Family Matters.

[Ermaximus]

Fucking a Mohammed.

Getting tossed was stupid on your part, but I'm damn certain he got into the head of Lebron there.

:lol: @ him getting a standing ovation for getting tossed though.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bulls have to start to be a lot more careful with the Ts since the Heat have been goading them into a few so far this series. Think Birdman tried to goad a couple in Game 2 and that was after it became a blowout.


http://i.imgur.com/6i1TYlR.gif

[Ermaximus]

I'd laugh my ass off if Lebron gets tossed.

[Next Big Thing]

I'd love a guy like Joakim Noah on my team. He's the perfect bad guy because he can actually play and is more than just a goon or antagonist. Poor Mario Chalmers is still the whipping boy :(

[Emperor Smeat]

Maloof family reported to have struck a deal with the Seattle group for the majority ownership of the Kings.

If the NBA approves, the Seattle group gets the family's 65% ownership stake and can move the team if they wish.

If the NBA rejects, the family is prepared to give them 20% ownership for $125 million. They'd also reject the Sacramento's group bid as part of the agreement.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9265605/sources-maloof-family-cuts-new-deal-sacramento-kings

[Nark Order]

Jesus fucking christ. This Seattle group is fucking relentless.

I want both cities to have a team.

[Nark Order]

Rumor going around that Phil Jackson is guaranteed to coach the Sonics if the Seattle deal goes through. This is so fucked.

[Triple A]

Hate Bill Simmons's smug-sounding voice

[Nark Order]

I think he might have like an entire porkchop stuck in his nasal cavity or something.

[Ermaximus]

Seattle deserves an NBA franchise about as much as LA deserves an NFL franchise. Why put a team where fans won't support them?

[Skippord]

the fans were incredibly supportive of the Sonics, they moved because their arena situation got fucked

[Next Big Thing]

Peeps forget how supportive the Kings fans were too. I'm definitely cheering for Seattle to get a team, just think it would suck if it came at the expense of Kings fans.

[ClockShot]

Knicks better come out swinging in the 4th.

I'm having trouble playing "Where's Spike Lee?" tonight. Which is the adult version of "Where's Waldo?" I was under the impression he's got his own seat on the team plane since all he's been doing nowadays is attending Knicks games.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Was not aware. Thanks Skip. :y:

[Next Big Thing]

A Grizzlies/Warriors Conference Finals would be refreshing.

[The Condor]

Stern would flip if the Pacers and Grizz got to the Finals. ESPN would go out of their way to make Marc Gasol seem like the greatest player since they made Kendrick Perkins seem like the greatest player after his trade.

[Nark Order]

I want the Golden State Warriors to win everything so badly. It isn't likely, but damnit, that would be amazing.

[Ermaximus]

Memphis winning the NBA Finals would likely put Stern on suicide watch. I'm somewhat ok with this since I don't care for Stern.

[Next Big Thing]

He's gone at the end of this season anyway. He's probably in I don't give a fuck mode. I'm looking for him to do a crotch grab towards the fans during the awarding of the Finals trophy.

[Ermaximus]

What are the odds that Roger Goodell and Stern are "bros" in real life? They are both hated by fans, both booed whenever they appear, and both are pretty much smary chodes.

[Triple A]

feels like a foul has been called on like 95% of the possessions in this game

NBA owners voted to keep the Kings in Sacramento at least for the near future and rejected the extra $100 million offered by the Seattle group. Still need to find a new majority owner since the Maloofs refuse to sell their share to the Sacramento group.

[Nark Order]

The Maloofs are the worst owners in sports history.

[Emperor Smeat]

Why doesn't Seattle just try and get Toronto to move?

Too big of a market tv-wise to just drop. They'd lose all of Canada and whatever sponsors/ad revenues they bring in.

Moving Vancouver over a decade was a lot easier since that team was only a few years old and loosing them didn't impact their overall Canadian market. The Grizzles have been in Memphis a lot longer than they ever were in Vancouver.

Time for Seattle to sue the NBA. They agreed not to sue because they were told they'd get a team plus the Seattle Super Sonics records and history. They've been dicked around long enough. Commissioner Stern is a piece of shit.

Stern is gone next season, do you think he really gives a fuck either way? He just wants to see Miami win another title so he can retire and stay at home while diddling himself.

I do believe they should get a team, just not The Kings.

[Droford]

I bet the NBA is salivating over the possibility of a grizzlies/Pacers finals

Worst ratings forever

[Skippord]

there isn't much of a possibility of that

and they'd probably be pretty psyched about Memphis making the finals since the other two options are Golden State and San Antonio

[Droford]

Golden state = California which would be ratings. Plus the warriors have a star player in curry.

San Antonio is always a ratings black hole when they get to the fnls but they have star players.

How many of the 10 Pacers/grizzlies starting 5 combined can the average NBA fan name.

+/- is probably ..3

[Skippord]

Golden State's like the fourth most popular team in California but right after I posted that I was like "oh yeah I guess people would want to watch Steph Curry"

I also just hate Golden State and San Antonio so I may be biased.

[Emperor Smeat]

I bet the NBA is salivating over the possibility of a grizzlies/Pacers finals

Doubt it would go lower than what the Spurs vs Cavs did since at least Indiana is a decent basketball market. Not even Lebron and all his early hype as the next Jordan-like mega star saved that series ratings-wise.

Golden State has Curry and no one else on that team (Unless David Lee comesback) that people have heard of. Memphis has Randolph, Gasol, and Allen.

[Next Big Thing]

Call me crazy, but I think the Pacers could make the conference finals a hell of a lot more interesting for the Heat. The Heat had a losing regular season record to the Pacers and Indiana plays that same sort of physical style the Bulls play that gets under the Heats skin. Really hoping for that matchup even though I think Knicks fans are the best in basketball and MSG would probably be a better crowd atmosphere.

[Droford]

The only thing about the Warriors making the Finals would be the SF/Oakland area making the last 3 pro championships (World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Finals). Technically probably not an accomplishment since they arent the same city but still. Would have been super crazy had the Sharks not got bounced from the NHL Playoffs.

[RoXer]

They haven't

[Droford]

Oh yeah..lol I got Anaheim mixed up.

[Nark Order]

Yeah. Anaheim is basically in Los Angeles.

Kings moving or not moving saga finally got settled as the Maloofs sold their majority share to the Sacramento group for $535 million ($10 million more than before).

Decided it wasn't worth the headache to keep trying to convince the NBA to let them sell the team or a 20% share to the Seattle group.

Maloofs end up pocketing around $200 million after debts are paid off and just a $44 million profit compared to when they originally bought the team.

Glad this nightmare is over...two cities fighting over a shit team. Next you'll hear people clamoring over the Bobcats.

[ClockShot]

Bobcats wanna change their name to the Hornets.

[Juan]

Just days after saying they’d never sell the team to a Sacramento group, the Maloofs have agreed to sell the team for $535 million. Which proves they are both greedy and also liars. They killed arena deals for seven years, threatened to move to Anaheim, and then Seattle, all while signing Linday Lohan’s sister to a record deal, mismanaging a skateboarding tour to the point where it could only take place in South Africa, and losing 98% of their casino investment in the Palms. They even ran a WNBA team into the ground along the way.

And now they’re finally gone from the NBA, and half a billion seems like a bargain to get them away from Sacramento and professional basketball for good. Goodbye, good night, good riddance.

The Maloofs are expected to blow through the $535 million in just under 18 months.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

ESPN says it is 348 million dollars. The new owner plans to keep the team In Sacremento. So, the nightmare is over and the jerks owners are gone forever. Except if Seattle tries to sue the NBA for lying to them about trying to get a team for them. At least it is over for the Kings fans. If they don't now come to watch the games and spend money on the team they are the real liars.

[Ermaximus]

Why not just make 2 more expansion teams and have a 32 team setup like the NFL? Clearly Seattle gets a team so the SuperSonics can reemerge, but the 2nd expansion team could be tricky. Clearly you have to find the right market and all, but it can't be any worse than the NOLA Pelicans.

If you believe the league from during the lockout, something like 2/3 of the league's teams are loosing money even with the revenue sharing. Most likely those 2 expansion teams would be loosing money early on and the expansion fees the other teams get would only help them for a year.

Also Ruien is correct in that there isn't enough talent to spread around and only is getting worse now that "super teams" are being formed and hogging stars.

[Dragon]

What a disappointing series for the Knicks, was expecting a lot more. JR and Chandler didn't show up at all.

Not sure what to say about this game. When one team shoots nearly 30 more FTs than the other that will always be a tough one to win.

Game was over when the Pacers had double digit points in the paint early and as usual, the Knicks were shooting from everywhere and praying the ball went in.

I read on the ESPN ticker that J.R. Smith might opt out of his deal and test free agency. I not sure if that's good or bad from a Knicks' fan point of view.

This isn't a dick/sarcastic post, just really curious. You watched and followed Ohio High School basketball?

Not taking it as such... I wasn't following "The Scene" that heavily, until I started following some AAU teams, and watched some ABDC camps. Everyone was talking about this phenom. So I saw some of his games. It became very easy to watch him play, since his games were being televised on ESPN. I mean he's been in the national spotlight since that sports illustrated cover in 2002.




I put that i was a fan since 2001, I should have put 2002. It's mental slip up on my behalf. Instead of correcting it by editing my post, I'll show some integrity by leaving it and putting an admission of error here.

[Nark Order]

Yeah. My brother has been following him since high school. Word got around fairly quickly that he was something special. He was in the spotlight early

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LeBron tried to petition for an exception that would have let him go for the draft after his junior year in high school. The NBA declined it, and LeBron's mom also said she wouldn't have allowed him to go anyway (LeBron was young enough where his mom would have had to approve of it).</font>

[alvarado52]

yeah yeah anyone who had a damn Slam! Magazine subscription had 13 year old LeBron James shoved in their face.

Probably why im sick of seeing the guy. Been force fed LeBron hype since he hit puberty. I actually was a fan of LeBron until "The Decision".

[Emperor Smeat]

Vinny Del Negro is out as the Los Angeles Clippers' coach, sources confirmed to ESPN's Chris Broussard.

[McLegend]

Who is the projected number 1 overall pick?

[Skippord]

Nerlins Noel

[Dragon]

<font color=goldenrod>JR Smith is re-signing with the Knicks on a 4 year, $20 million deal.

Here's hoping his horrific playoffs weren't a sign of things to come.</font>

Even with his horrific playoffs this is a good deal for the Knicks.

With their cap situation they can't really go after much in free agency so its not like he's taking money from potentially better players. The biggest thing that needs to happen is Woodson needs to not give JR full reign and reel him in a bit.

One thing JR proved is that living with him as the second scoring option is gonna be tough though. Once again Amare is basically the key to next season. They need that second scoring option so Smith doesn't have to be relied on as much.

Not sure what the Knicks will do to get better since their cap situation is pretty terrible. They're gonna need the players they do have to step up. Luckily it looks like Shumpert is nearly fully recovered from his injury so a full season of him at full health should be fine.

Knicks also need to really hit on their 1st rounder this year.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Cavs get the #1 pick.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

Surprised it wasn't the Magic that won considering Stern does have past history of compensating teams when they lose a big star.

Been almost a decade since the worst team actually won the lottery.

[Keith]

Zack Randolph's a little bitch.

they should be psyched they didn't win, gives them a better chance at Maple Jordan next year

[Keith]

Cavs get the #1 pick.

A decade after they chose "that guy" as their #1 pick.

No pressure on whoever's selected, tho.

Yet you're not sick of seeing Kobe? He's been force fed to you since 1995, he tried to force a trade outta LA, He ran off the Best Big Man in the game all because of his ego, and he damn near went to jail for rape!


But Lebron James leaving a team in free agency makes you sick.

[Krimzon7]

Cavs are still owed like 3 more #1 picks from losing their star.

Dan Gilbert and his sons seem to be more interested in ugly suits, urkle glasses and bowties.

Hey RP...that's 1.

One big dick in the ass of pacers fans everywhere!

[Triple A]

Damn

[Krimzon7]

30 points 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

How the fuck can you hate on that? Go ahead, get creative...I'LL WAIT!!!

[Corndad]

End of that Game was Crazy.

[Keith]

That Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was an instant classic.

[The Condor]

Good game, loved it. Shit happens, bad break for the Pacers.

[Krimzon7]

Lets hold a candle light vigil for RP... His level of anger may drive him to do something ugly

[Nark Order]

You can't beat LeBron, RP.

[Krimzon7]

The Heat are magical to watch. Pure athletic poetry.

Geez. Pacers are playing better ball than the Heat.

Game 3 to the HEAT!!!! I fully expect RP to tuck his gaping asshole into a corner somewhere until the Pacers win agian...but they probably wont

Bwahahaha Lebron fouled out.

[Juan]

I wouldn't mind it if Indiana went all the way and became champs.

[Triple A]

yah been "routing" for Indiana I guess

[Crimson]

Exception of game 3, all these games have been awesome

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: people on Twitter already trashing and praising the ref who gave the 6th foul call on Lebron.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not that I really care now that the Celtics are gone, but

PAAAAAAAACE Show.

If Labron complained about the 6th foul he should get a technical foul for his constant bitching whenever something doesn't go his way. He acts like a bitch and the refs cowtail to him at every turn. Good for them for having the balls to give him a 6th and bounce his pampered ass out of the fucking game.

Game 3 to the HEAT!!!! I fully expect RP to tuck his gaping asshole into a corner somewhere until the Pacers win agian...but they probably wont



Nope.

[Ermaximus]

If the Heat lose one more game to the Pacers, I'll have won $250. Coworker bet me the Heat wouldn't lose more than 3 games all playoffs, not including the finals.

1 MORE PACERS!

[The Condor]

Real good series. Not much to say other than that

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I've narrowed my potential bandwagons for the playoffs down to 3 teams.

Still not sure yet though. I'll let you know how it goes.

“I play an aggressive game. I don't flop. I've never been one of those guys.”

You're dumb

[Nark Order]

Naw,, he's right. People only complain about flopping if the guy is good. Flopping is going to happen.

[Emperor Smeat]

Chris Paul supposedly is "very angry" at the Clippers over the idea that he played any role in Vinny Del Negro getting fired. He's considering options of playing for a new team next season although he's also waiting to see who they hire before making a decision.


Rockets making a strong push to get Dwight Howard once he becomes a free agent July 1st.
Sources close to the process told ESPN.com that the Rockets have received what has been described as "hopeful signals" that Howard is seriously considering a jump from the Lakers to the Rockets after becoming a free agent July 1.

Although the Rockets are well aware that Howard has a penchant for changing his mind, sources say that Howard has conveyed his rising interest to Houston star swingman James Harden, a fellow West All-Star.

Sources say Howard, furthermore, has already made it clear he'll field in-person recruiting visits from the Rockets and Dallas Mavericks once free agency begins. It's possible, sources said, that other teams will be added to the list.

[Ermaximus]

Naw,, he's right. People only complain about flopping if the guy is good. Flopping is going to happen.

Then what is Battier's excuse?

[DaveBrawl]

He wants people to think he's good too.

[Skippord]

Battier went to Duke, where taking charges is the most important thing ever

also every smart NBA player flops

[Ermaximus]

Skippord, that makes a lot of sense. Explains why I never see certain players flop.

[Skippord]

so now the Nuggets can name LaPhonso Ellis General Manager I guess

[Droford]

Sucks to hear about mookie blaylock

I just spit my drink out laughing. Amazing . I love Hibbert so much. He just says what every person here in Indiana know . " Ya'll Motherfuckers dont watch us play! "LOL

I like Roy Hibbert. He is a well rounded NBA "Star."

[RP]

I think after game 4 they pulled Roy off the floor for an interview and he was fucking pumped as shit still he was like " WE AINT GOING NOWHERE! " . It was pretty fucking LOL. I think we can win this game. Hibbert, George and West look like they will not let us fucking lose.
