NBA 2006-2007 Season Thread

[RP]

Well shit. We play the Sixers next, but O'Neil had a knee injury tonight, so if we can somehow find a way to lose to the Sixers, we play the Cavs, Wolvs and Wizards after that. Thats possibly a 11 game losing streak. HERE WE COME DURANT/ ODEN!!!! WOOOOO

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Went to the Celtics game tonight, saw Ray Allen play in person. That was a treat, dude is so smooth when he plays.

Gerald Green dunked it on Rashad Lewis (he had a nice game though) on a fast break. Big Al Jefferson tore it up again, 31 points 16 rebounds..dude is a beast. Now only if the rest of the young guys they got could start panning out they'd be alright

[Splaya]

LOL I want the Pacers to get the #1 pick in the draft. RP shitting himself over a losing pacers record, drafting Durant, and the Colts winning the Superbowl in a 6 month span.

[Splaya]

It would be classic

[RP]

The brilliant thing is now that Colts have won the title. This is the perfect season for the Pacers to tank. Give me THREE brawls! Not ONE! No one will care. Theres not a whole lot of people that are watching the Pacers now. They've been horrible for 3 years. This is the perfect season to tank it. Tank it while noones looking and them come back next year with Oden or Durant or hell how about Noah or one of these other blue chip players in the draft this year.

TANK TANK TANK.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Nah you wanna see them win now, seeing one of your favorite teams win, then seeing another one of your favorite teams win, THEN seeing the other team win again is pretty much the greatest thing ever...trust me

[RP]

We're still in the 7th seed despite a 7 game losing streak. We're 11 games back of Boston for the worst record in the East.

Heres a question. Whats harder? Making the playoffs in the West or not making the playoffs in the East?

[RP]

We were a 6th seed when this losing streak started. 7 games later. We're still in the 7th seed. Give me a fucking break already.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol the Eastern conference sucks so bad in the NBA, they need to eliminate some teams or something (never going to happen since they make $$) but the talent level is so watered down you get a few really good teams and the rest of the teams suck

[RP]

Indiana might loose 12 games in a row and still be in the playoffs. Nevermind the fact that we have no shot at getting out of the first round at all. I've never realized how great it is to have either a really bad team or a really good team. The worst is having a really bad team with no shot thats good enough to make the playoffs.

TPWW could have an NBA team with Krispy Wadding and me as the front line and Cooler Tom Schueler as our swing man and Funky Fly as our PG and moody depressed suicidal Triple A as our coach and we'd still make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

[RP]

If we dont choke vs Philadelphia and manage to just be outscored by Atlanta, we could possibly end the month of March with a 17 game losing streak. ITS POSSIBLE!!!

That could set us up good for the home stretch and keep us in the Oden/Durant hunt.

[BCWWF]

The Pacers and the Timberwolves are the same team. Both have a big man who is worthless without another superstar, both teams have been slowly declining for the past three years, and neither team is bad enough to get a good draft pick.

Wolves had a small chance this year, but if they made the playoffs they wouldn't have had a draft pick. YES, when Kevin McHale traded Sam Cassell for Marko Jaric, he also threw in a conditional draft pick. If the Wolves aren't in the lottery, they have no draft pick. Dumbass. He also traded a first rounder for Ricky Davis.

[RP]

Yah, i agree its pretty much the same team, but let me say this. I like Ricky Davis. I know its odd, but everytime he's played us, he's killed us. Never mind the fact that i always confuse him with Young Buck from G-Unit.

[RP]

HAHAHAHA 8 in a row. Indiana really raised the bar in losing tonight. They didnt like there chances losing against Philly despite not having O'neil and Daniels, so to make sure they lost, Tinsley got himself suspended. If he hadnt, we might have won that game. Way to step it up Jamaal.

Now we have Cleveland, Minnesotta and Washington for our next 3. We should lose all of them, but i'm a little worried about the T-Wolve. Jamaal may need to take another suspension for that one.

[KingofOldSchool]

Indiana Pacers: Every Game Counts

Oden for Blue & Gold in 07-08

[RP]

The billboards in indiana for the Pacers should read ..

* Picture of Oden "

( Slogan ) " We're still in it ! "

[Splaya]

LOL

[Triple A]

rofl @ Kobe Bryant repeatedly hitting white people in the face.

Just hit Korver with an elbow after hitting Mike Miller, Manu Ginobili, and Marco Jaric.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

KOBE

[RP]

9 in a row!

[RP]

The Pacers stepped it up big time tonight. Tinsley tried give this loss away by scoring 37 points. Figures. But the team pulled through and got that 10th loss in a row.


We're still in it!

[RP]

WoooO if we lose to the Wizards ( Like sex with Kobe Bryant, its gunna happen ) and the Knicks win another game, we're officially entered the lottery.

[Splaya]

LOL Cannot wait for RP to come in here tonight

[KingofOldSchool]

Larry Bird is a genius.

He's making sure we lose every game from here on out so we got a great chance to get Oden.

[Nervous Ferret]

Dallas/Phoenix was so sick

[DaveWadding]

SUNS WIN, BITCHES.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Hot game, Dallas deserves to lose after missing all those free throws during the end of regulation

[Ninti the Mad]

good game

I was pulling for Suns.

[Ninti the Mad]

lol did anyone see when Mark Cuban moved the camera out of his face after the game and he looked all pissed?

Thats why I dont want Dallas to win a championship. Cuban is a dick.

[ddpBANG]

Pistons/Blazers might be one of the worst games I've ever seen live.

[Splaya]

Yeah I felt bad for that shitty Trail Blazers team

[RP]

Larry Bird is a genius.

He's making sure we lose every game from here on out so we got a great chance to get Oden.


If we finish with enough ping pong balls to give us a decent shot at the #1 pick, i honestly believe Larry Bird should be GM of the year and Carlise should be Coach of the Year. How incredibly tough it must be to get tough losses against teams like the T-Wolves or the Sixers. Those are really tough losses. But Carlisle coached those boys down enough to get them. That deserves credit. He's putting together a really good bad season.

If we lose to Atlanta, with Houston, San Antonio and Miami being the next 3 games after that, book it. Losing to Atlanta might be the truest test we have for the rest of the year. If we can pull that off. It could happen.

We're still in it!

[RP]

This game against the Atlanta Hawks might have more significants then any Colts vs Patriots game ever.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I hate the lottery, so I'm not getting my hopes up..One year the Celtics won 13 fucking games and they didn't get the #1 pick (aka didn't get Tim Duncan)

[RP]

I KNOW WE HAVE A CHANCE

[RP]

But the draft wasnt as stacked coming into as it is this year. Like, there were some good players from that draft, there wasnt nearly as much talent as what could be coming out this year. IMO

[BCWWF]

I like the lottery, it makes it so continuously shitty teams have to at least try a little bit.

[DaveWadding]

It's nice to know that Dirk is such a fucking choke artist :love:

[Ninti the Mad]

Wadding, the Suns wouldnt win a series against Dallas.

Just so you know.

I dont want Dallas to win, mind you, but I dont see the Suns winning a championship.

(better Suns than Dallas)

[Skippord]

NUGGETS GONNA WIN THE NBA TITLE

[Skippord]

(Probably Not)

[Ninti the Mad]

lol Nuggets

[BCWWF]

Was it ever even a question that Melo and AI would struggle together? AI should have gone to a team like Indiana or Minnesota. Both of those teams have a strong big man but need a dominant guard. Although they play different positions, AI and Melo's best attribute is scoring.

[CNM]

Yeah, they've been struggling so much lately...

[SammyG]

I said I wasn't gonna post, but I gotta mention this. Kobe has 56 right now, headed into OT. Ok. If we don't win this game, I will die. Goodbye

[RP]

How many shots has he taken? 41?

[SammyG]

he has 60 right now, 22/38 shooting

[SammyG]

kobe for 3. 63 points.

[Splaya]

I was going to ignore it. I was going to come online in the morning and just say nice win by the Pistons tonight.

But I can't. The Suns beat Dallas on Wednesday and Detroit beats Phoenix tonight. The Suns needed OT. Detroit won by 22. Do not blame the Suns stars as in Amare and Nash. Blame the supporting cast.

Also, Chauncey Billups did not play the entire 2nd half because of a strained groin muscle. Maybe the Suns should learn to check the backup point guard as Flip Murray scored 13 points in the 3rd quarter. And then when they decided to double Rasheed Wallace or Webber in the post, the Pistons nailed a big 3.


Yeah fucking living it up right now

[SammyG]

Game over. Lakers win 116 111 in OT. Kobe ends up with 65. UNREAL.

Pacers beat Detroit in Detroit and everyone has beat the Pacers. Big whoop. Hollla

[SammyG]

I'm sorry to say this again. but HOLY SHIT. Kobe. that 3 from the corner, double teamed, falling backwards was UNREAL.

[RP]

I'm sorry to say this again. but HOLY SHIT. Kobe. that 3 from the corner, double teamed, falling backwards was UNREAL.


Isnt that his trademark shot? The ole 3 ball with a double team, falling backwards, despite having 3 teamates open in the paint watching. Yah i love that shot.

[SammyG]

Go Pacers

[RP]

Yah no shit. They're making a run right now

[KingofOldSchool]

Tough game tonight with Atlanta.

We might actually win.

[RP]

No i think Jamaal Tinsley might try hard enough to pull a loss out tonight. Plus i think Jermaine has been holding back the last couple of games. He's definetly going to have something to prove tonight. I'm predicting 2 ankle injuries for JO tonight. He'll bring it.

[KingofOldSchool]

Tinlsey will have 14 TO's and JO will suffer 2 ankle injuries and 4 strained back muscles.

Somehow Danny Granger will put up 25 points and keep it close.

[Ninti the Mad]

Spurs (46-19) vs. Celtics (19-46)

lol

[Splaya]

Haha Tinsley had 14 assists and not one turnover.


So RP, are you guys back in the playoffs now?

[RP]

WTF IS TINSLEY THINKING!!! Probably one of the worst games he's every played tonight. GOD DAMMIT! We had an 11 game streak going and this guy goes out there and decides to play like he gives a damn. MOTHER FUCKER!

[RP]

I fucking hate this team. I rather have a team that loses badly 80% of there games over a team that plays just good enough to be invited to the playoffs and offed in 4 games.

[KingofOldSchool]

Way to blow a good thing.

[Splaya]

Yeah, of course with the Pacers luck they will lose 90% of their final games, get like 25 balls in the lottery and still pick 13th

[Splaya]

This is from the yahoo sports article about the Suns/Nuggets game last night.

The Suns have lost twice -- by a combined 46 points -- since their 129-127 double-overtime win at Dallas on Wednesday night. They lost to Detroit 105-83 Friday night, which D'Antoni blamed on emotional exhaustion.

I knew Mike Dantoni would blame it on something like that about losing to Detroit.

[packt up]

Lakers pretty much sucking these days.

[VonErichLives]

LMFAO! The Celtics got fines (I've heard 30K to 50k) for the GM Danny Ainge sitting next to Durants mothers during the big 12 championship.

lmfao... thats funny for many reasons.

[ClockShot]

LMFAO! The Celtics got fines (I've heard 30K to 50k) for the GM Danny Ainge sitting next to Durants mothers during the big 12 championship.

$30,000 is what I read on ESPNnews. The Celts must be pretty desperate.

[SammyG]

Wanna see Mamba do his thang? ESPN

Kobe has 115 points in his last 2 games.

[BCWWF]

From Minneapolis' gossip column



A better way to play?
A reader who identified himself as David Murphyclaims that he saw members of the Pacers making it rain at a Minneapolis strip club the night before the hapless team got dunked by the Wolves.
"Monday evening several of the players from the Indiana Pacers basketball team spent a great deal of time and money at Schieks Nightclub and judging from their performance last night in the fourth quarter they might have been better served getting some rest at their hotel," wrote Murphy via e-mail.
Murphy also claimed to have seen the players "make it rain," which means they were throwing money at the strippers. No word from the Pacers, who'd lost 11 games in a row heading into the weekend, as to whether Indiana has the kind of players who'd ever go to a strip club. Instead of a dress code, shouldn't the NBA -- indeed all professional leagues -- make strip clubs off limits during playing season?

[RP]

Thats called stepping up. You really need a loss so you have to step up your game and stay the the strip club all night. Thats great effort. What happend against Atlanta??? I dont think the strip clubs were closed. They just didnt show the initiative.

[KingofOldSchool]

The strippers at the bar they went to were ugly so they left Mike Dunleavy there and the rest called it a night.

[SammyG]

LakeShowwwwwwww
:yes:

[RP]

They probably made it rain on Mike Dunleavy

[RP]

I had no clue what " Made it rain " meant until i read that. I honestly for a second there thought the Pacers went to a strip club and started a circle jerk.

[SammyG]

Jackson doesn't count on much offense from Brown, who battled ankle and back problems Friday night and couldn't hold on to a late-game pass from Parker that would've resulted in a dunk.
Jackson said his advice to his players when passing to Brown is first to pass toward Brown's face, because his reflexive desire to protect himself will more likely get his hands in proper position.
Either that, Jackson added, or aim below the belt.

[KingofOldSchool]

I had no clue what " Made it rain " meant until i read that. I honestly for a second there thought the Pacers went to a strip club and started a circle jerk.

They threw a bucket of money onto Dunleavy and you know how bad strippers need that money. They swarmed Dunleavy and damn near killed him trying to grab all of them dolla dolla bills.

[KingofOldSchool]

The Pacers are playing their hearts out tonight.

[RP]

If Doc Rivers was our coach, this would be a 14 game losing streak. NO WAY he'd win against Atlanta. If we were winning to Atlanta by i dunno.. say 18 points. Doc would suit up every white player he can find including Vern Flemming and stick those guys out there for the remainder of the 4th quarter to get that loss. Then start his press conference off by reassuring everyone he wasnt tanking the game. THATS COACH OF THE YEAR right there. FIRE CARLISLE and trade for Doc Rivers for these last 15 games.

[RP]

In all honesty. We need to draft someone with heart and fire for the game. Someone that is a great player, but also a leader and a motivator. I like Noah.

[KingofOldSchool]

In all honesty. We need to draft someone with heart and fire for the game. Someone that is a great player, but also a leader and a motivator. I like Noah.

We need more than a draft pick that has heart and fire for the game, we need a 12-man roster full of heart and fire for the game.

Hell Jack Haley had more heart and fire for the game than 99% of the Pacers combined.

[RP]

99% ? More like 100% for sure.

We need a new coach. We need a young guy to stick with Granger and build. Ofcourse i hope and pray every day for Oden or Durrant, but if we cant get either of them, I really want Noah. That guy is fire.

[KingofOldSchool]

I gave Granger that 1%.

I like Noah, I just don't know if he'll make it in the NBA.

I also have a feeling that Oden is going to stay in school next year. I'm probably going to be totally wrong but I think he'll stay in school another year and be locked as the #1 pick in '08.

[RP]

Noah is a winner and he's got game and most importantly he's got fire and heart and you cant teach either. I think he's gunna be like no other player in the league. I honestly dont know who to compare him.

[KingofOldSchool]

Josh McRoberts of Duke has declared himself for the NBA Draft. He's supposedly projected as an early-mid first rounder.

IMO, he should've stayed another year or so and help raise he stock a bit.

[SammyG]

I agree. I don't think he's ready for the NBA yet.

[SammyG]

Kobe has 46 with 11 mins left in the game.

[SammyG]

Kobe gets 60. holy shit. This man is amazing. Legend. Kobe Bryant is a LEGEND.

[KingofOldSchool]

The Knicks signed Kentucky center Randolph Morris.

I think Morris could be a decent player in the NBA. Probably not a star or anything, but a solid player that can contribute to any team.

[BCWWF]

Agree.

[RP]

I think the Lakers could win the title if the rest of the team just stayed in the lockeroom during the game and let Kobe play 5 on 1.

Infact, i think Kobe could beat the entire Indiana Pacers team in basketball right now if they played.

[KingofOldSchool]

Infact, i think Kobe could beat the entire Indiana Pacers team in basketball right now if they played.

Bill Wennington could beat the Pacers by himself.

[RP]

Bill Wennington wouldnt even care to play the Pacers for fear that it might fuck up his style.

[SammyG]

5 game winning streak. Kobe averaging 53.6 in the last 5 games. All is good in Laker land

[RP]

"We held him to 43, by God," Warriors coach Don Nelson said as he finished speaking with reporters.

:lol:

[RP]

I just realized that if the Pacers lotto pick isnt a top 10 pick, it gets shipped to Atlanta.

[SammyG]

I hope we finish 6th. That way we can beat San Antonio in the first round. Or 5th, and we get Utah.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I flipped on the TV at 6:15am today to see the sports segment of the news figuring nothing too terribly exciting happened. Shit, was I ever wrong. Sports guy starts with Pistons/Nuggets. Sets up the 98-95 Denver lead with :01.5 in the 4th, Pistons needing a miracle, as Denver has possesion on the inbound. They go to the FSN Detroit footage, where the local announcers are calling the game. Detroit needs a steal and a desperation 3 to send it into OT, so what happens? Detroit gets a steal, ball goes to Rasheed Wallace, who wildly shoots from 62"-long-3-point range with :00.2 left, AND MAKES THE SHOT! Crowd and announcers both go berserk. Then in OT, Pistons are down 106-103, and Rasheed cans another 3 to tie it, and Detroit goes on to win a nail biter, 113-109...what an exciting game that was.

[KingofOldSchool]

I just realized that if the Pacers lotto pick isnt a top 10 pick, it gets shipped to Atlanta.

We give up a potential lottery pick for Dunleavy and Murphy.

:rofl:

[SammyG]

Niiice. Lost to the Grizz today. Kobe shot like 7-26

[Ninti the Mad]

I hope we finish 6th. That way we can beat San Antonio in the first round. Or 5th, and we get Utah.


ROFLLMFAO

[SammyG]

I see nothing funny about that post.

[Ninti the Mad]

You wont beat San Antonio. Hate to break it to you.

[McDoogle]

The Raptors will in the finals.

[Ninti the Mad]

Raptors scare me.

[SammyG]

They will choke in the playoffs. They have no playoff experience. Great season by them though. and I am fairly confident the Lakers can beat the Spurs in a 7 game series.

[Ninti the Mad]

Spurs in 5

[DaveWadding]

This is my last post in the NBA forum indefinitely. Well for this year. Unless a miracle happens. The Lakers have been fucked over with injuries, and with no defense. They can not play defense to save their life. and Smush Parker can suck my nuts. Our starting 5 minus Kobe is quite terrible right now. Kobe must fucking hate his life right now. He is surrounded by a bunch of heartless douchebags. So, yeah. I think Kobe might be suspended for kinda punching Jaric in the mouth tonight. Whatever. This team sucks. ENJOY THE REST OF THE SEASON PEOPLE.

[McLegend]

lol The lakers are terrible. The only way they can win if Kobe scroes 50 every game, and there is no way Kobe is doing that against a very good Defensive team like the Spurs in the playoffs.

[Ninti the Mad]

lol

[DaveWadding]

GS 77 Suns 65 at the HALF. :|

[SammyG]

I said indefinitely. As long as they sucked i stopped posting. but they improved, so i started posting again, so shut up fat fuck. Anyway. Yeah this PHX GS game is pretty crazy.87-69 with 8:40 left in the 3rd.

[DaveWadding]

No, sorry. The Lakers still suck. Kobe going on a historic scoring streak doesnt change that.

[SammyG]

We'll be juuuuust fine.

[DaveWadding]

Yes, yes you will. Losing to Memphis = progress :y:

[SammyG]

Minor setback. You are a very impressive defensive ball club tonight.

[SammyG]

Magic Pacers coming up. I feel so bad for Jermaine O Neal.

[KingofOldSchool]

Tinsley needs to bring a gun onto the court and shoot the opponents. You can't lose a game when the opponents are unable to play.

:shifty:

Wait, this is the Pacers we're talking about, the other team could beat the Pacers while laying in the hospital beds.

[DaveWadding]

LAAAAAKE SHOWWWWW

[SammyG]

Pretty pissed right now. What a great game, but we fuckin lost in overtime. PISSED OFF A LIL BIT. Kobe with 53, but fuck, I'm so pissed we lost.

[SammyG]

Wadding, you fat piece of shit, I seriously hope you die a slow and horrific death. Shut the fuck up.

[DaveWadding]

Kobe: 19-44
Rest of Lakers combined: 17-44

:y:

[SammyG]

If Kobe does not shoot that much, the Lakers can simply not run with the big dogs in the league. I have no problem with Kobe putting up that many shots. He is the best player in the NBA, he should shoot that much.

[DaveWadding]

If Kobe does not shoot that much, the Lakers can simply not run with the big dogs in the league. I have no problem with Kobe putting up that many shots. He is the best player in the NBA, he should shoot that much.
Yes, big dogs like the 19-55 Memphis Grizzlies, the worst team in the NBA.

BTW, the best player in the NBA creates 11 scoring opportunies for his teammates per game. I'd like to see Mamba do that.

[SammyG]

The "best player in the game" according to you has 2 fucking all stars on his starting 5. Kobe has Kwame Brown. Enough said. Shut up. Take Nash out of the Suns, they still make the playoffs. Take Kobe out of the Lakers, Lakers are looking at Durant or Oden.

[DaveWadding]

The Lakers are still looking at Durant or Oden.

[SammyG]

Good one, fat fuck

[KingofOldSchool]

Hahaha just saw a news bit about the Pacers building homes for Habitat for Humanity.

I'd hate to be the family who moves in to one of those homes, because if they build homes like they play basketball then I'd rather take my chances on the streets.

[RP]

We're 3-16 after the allstar break and i dont think anyone has in the national media has noticed. I was Carlisle fired. There should be a shit storm about us.

[SammyG]

PHX really laid the smackethdown on the Mavs tonight.

[SammyG]

LALALALALALAKE SHOW

[DaveWadding]

I think Mamba just doubled his career assist total.

[DaveWadding]

In fact, I don't think Kobe's ever passed up on 13 shots in his life.

[SammyG]

Wonderful game by Kobe.

[SammyG]

Did Indiana really beat the Spurs tonight?

[BCWWF]

Lol, I was going to come online and post that last night but my internet wasn't working. That's hilarious.

[RP]

Tinsley must not have had time to smoke a blunt before he came on the court against San Antonio.

[RP]

I love how we are burying a 18 and 10 guy on the bench in favor of Troy Murphy and Jeff Foster. Ike Diougu could be a star for this team, but they wont play him. Yay Rick Carlisle. Remember why Detroit got rid of Rick Carlisle? Cause of his refusal to play Tayshaun Prince? Then Larry Brown plays the kid and they win the title. FUck Rick Carlisle.

[Splaya]

I'm glad you have finally fucking realized this :love:

[CNM]

LAAAAAAAAAAKE SHOW

LAAAAAAKEEEEEE SHOWWWWWWWWWWW

How bout them Dodgers? :naughty:

[RP]

lol @ davewaddings avatar.

[SammyG]

Haha, I think it's off drunkathlete.com

Also fuck you Wadding, leave my Dodge Show alone.

[SammyG]

niiice, we are down 17 to the clips. that's cool I guess.

[SammyG]

wow, I kinda HATE Kobe right now. he is taking the dumbest shots i've ever seen. 13-32 right now.

[SammyG]

guess we're getting PHX first round.

[RP]

KOBE!

[SammyG]

Yup. That's Mamba alright :(

[Ninti the Mad]

I know Wadding would post if the Suns beat the Spurs so I am going to post.

SPURS

Suns got smoked hard.

[SammyG]

Wadding's at taco bell

[DaveWadding]

The Suns were godawful. They couldnt hit a fucking basket to save their lives and they werent pushing the ball up the floor.

[Ninti the Mad]

BTW I am not really one to talk smack until the year is over and the Spurs win.

But I had to rib Wadding a bit.

NOT THAT KIND OF RIB

[SammyG]

LAKE SHOW SONICS TONIGHT


.. fuck, we need a win terribly. let's make the playoffs :(

[Ninti the Mad]

Sonics dont have Ray Allen though I'm sure.

Should be cake.

[SammyG]

...MEMPHIS should have been cake. also LOL @ smush. He was all PISSED OFF A LIL BIT when Phil benched his whiny ass in the 4th quarter last game against the Clips, and this is what he said when he was asked if he was suprised he got benched: " Of course I am. I'm always suprised when I'm not playing. Whatever though, I stopped trying to read that man a long time ago"

[SammyG]

ROOOFLLLLL LAKERS ROOFFLLLL

[SammyG]

Ok, NVM, We won by 3. Kobe had a quiet 45. I hate Smush Parker. I would start Farmar over Parker. Denver won today too, damn, by 4 over the Mavs. 75 71 Or somethin. Good win by LAL though, about time. PHX on Sunday now..

[DaveWadding]

Hey man, when the Suns lose, they lose. I ain't gonna disappear like SammyG. I'm gonna criticize them just like you will.

[RP]

Pacers win to spite there fans i think. Just when they're about to dip into the lottery, they win.

Hey atleast Carlisle finally figured out that getting Granger the ball is a good thing.

[SammyG]

LAL PHX in half an hour.

[SammyG]

LMFAO @ Smush stealing the ball from Nash, nash screaming and getting a technical, and then sucking on his pinky finger, cuz it was bleeding

[SammyG]

Meh. Ok. We are gonna lose. but I do like our chances in a 7 game series against PHX.

[KingofOldSchool]

Which would mean that Atlanta gets our Murphy/Dunleavy 1st Round pick if they manage to get into the playoffs?

YAY DUNLEAVY AND MURPHY

[SammyG]

By the way, I LOVE Ronny Turiaf

[DaveWadding]

LAAAAAKE SHOWWWWWWW

[SammyG]

Shut up fat fuck. See you in the playoffs.

[BCWWF]

Whose draft pick do the Suns have that will give them like the fourth or fifth pick this year?

[McLegend]

the Atlanta Hawks

[SammyG]

FUCK. Srsly, next time i post here will be in the playoffs if we make it. bye for now.

[DaveWadding]

FUCK. Srsly, next time i post here will be in the playoffs if we make it. bye for now.

LAAAAKEEEEE SHOWWWWWWWW

[CNM]

LAAAAAAKE SHOW. Nice to see Mamba come up big in the clutch. Err...

[YOUR Hero]

do the Raptors have a chance?

[RP]

do the Raptors have a chance?


In the East, anyone has a chance. I havent even ruled out the Celtics yet.

[MTH15]

LOL, the wizards keep losing all there life :(

[McDoogle]

I seriously wouldn't be surprised to see the Raptors in the eastern conference final. Maybe semi-finals.

[SammyG]

See ya next year

[ddpBANG]

CLIIIIIIIIIP SHOOOOW

[SammyG]

you have no right to say that. Only Wadding does.

[ddpBANG]

:rofl:

[BCWWF]

Wolves will get a good draft pick at least, hopefully a center or power forward who can contribute right away. There are obvious problems with the lineup and it is a shame Mike James didn't work out, but the best thing to do now is to get rid of Mike James, Ricky Davis and Troy Hudson in whatever way possible. Rashad McCants and Randy Foye are the future of this team, along with whoever the new pick is.

[RP]

Mark this down. Danny Granger will be an allstar next year.

[KingofOldSchool]

Granger almost took us out of lottery contention.

[SammyG]

This is a pretty good game so far.

[DaveWadding]

FUCK. Srsly, next time i post here will be in the playoffs if we make it. bye for now.

LAAAAAKE SHOWWWWWWWWWWW

[SammyG]

Good game. Kobe was off, that's why we lost. See you in Phoenix first round :)

[RP]

Granger almost took us out of lottery contention.


Yah.. Enjoy that lotto pick Atalanta. Fucking Pacers

[RP]

Is it possible to petition the Pacers name to be changed to the Indiana FuckingPacers ?

[DaveWadding]

Good game. Kobe was off, that's why we lost. See you in Phoenix first round :)

Mamba must be off EVERY game then...

oh, BTW, you have to make the playoffs before talking shit like see you in Phoenix.

[SammyG]

I ain't talkin shit. I do think we will end up 7th.

[Ninti the Mad]

And then LA will lose to Phoenix.

[SammyG]

Let's just worry about getting into the playoffs. We just about had them last year. But PHX is a better team this year. I would be shocked if the Lakers didn't win at least 2 games though.

[SammyG]

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUG SHOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW
JAAAAAAAAZZZZZ SHHHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[DaveWadding]

LOL at least the Nuggs and Jazz are in the playoffs...

[CNM]

LOL, the Nuggets are locked into the 6 seed. The Fake Show will be lucky to make the playoffs.

[SammyG]

WE WILL WIN THE SHIT PLAYOFFS.

[SammyG]

NO NOT LIKE THAT. THE FUCKIN PLAYOFFS. LAKERS HOW

[SammyG]

mmhbc. Lake sjow. show. MAMBA

[DaveWadding]

...so, you were dropped on your head within the last 10 minutes?

[SammyG]

KNOW YOUR ROLE

LAAAAAAAAAKE SHOOOOOOOOOOW

[Ninti the Mad]

Dallas/San Antonio in 3 hours (230 cst)

[Ninti the Mad]

LOL Jesus Christ

Duncan got t'd out for LAUGHING

Joe Crawford is such an uptight ass.

[SammyG]

Clippers lost, that's huge. Come on Lakers!

[SammyG]

Kobe goes off, Lakers win, playoffs here we come. Hopefully we can keep that 7 seed.

[SammyG]

ROFL @ the ref telling duncan : YOU WANNA FIGHT? DO YOU WANNA FIGHT ME?

[CNM]

Joey Crawford is insane. How is this guy still reffing games?

[SammyG]

i about died laughing at those comments though. holy shit.

[MTH15]

The wizards suck horse shit right now.

[SammyG]

yeah that was a bad ass whoopin

[KingofOldSchool]

WOOOO LOTTERY HE WE COME

Top 10 or bust.

[BCWWF]

Page 2 actually had an idea that I didn't disagree with: give every team in the lottery an equal chance of winning. The column said that is what they used to do, but it would still make a certain amount of sense.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Why not just give the worst team the 1st pick, the 2nd to worst team the 2nd pick etc etc

[SammyG]

Yeah, I agree with Stima.

[The Miz]

I think the lottery is supposed to try to encourage teams not to tank the season when they're out of playoff contention, doesn't really seem to work though

[SammyG]

Celtics are tanking it hardcore.

[BCWWF]

To clarify, the lottery system I was referencing still only gives the top three picks away. So the lowest that the worst team could pick was fourth.

I dunno, MLB doesn't need to worry about it since the draft is so hit or miss. NFL seems different too because there is always such a wealth of good players that are almost sure-fire success in the first round. The NBA is just messed though, all over the place.

[KingofOldSchool]

Hey RP, did you hear that Mark fucking Jackson is on a list of potential candidates to be the next Pacers coach?

[SammyG]

Crawford got suspended by Stern, Good. Also I hope GS loses tonight, so we have that 7 seed fo sho

[Ninti the Mad]

Crawford got suspended by Stern, Good. Also I hope GS loses tonight, so we have that 7 seed fo sho


LOL

But I hope he doesnt ref any games with the Spurs in the postseason.

I just know he is going to fuck shit up.

[McLegend]

He suspended for the playoffs to isn't he?

[The Miz]

He should just be fired.

[SammyG]

Yeah, fucking fire his fat ass.

[SammyG]

lol @ what some ESPN dude wrote.

To win my LVP (Least Valuable Player) Award, you need to negatively affect a team in more ways than just "my eight-figure salary is killing their cap space" or "I drove into a parked car while masturbating to a porn movie."
You need to realize zero percent of your team's expectations, even though it traded a No. 1 pick (and a chance to take Rajon Rondo or Marcus Williams) to create enough cap space for a bench player who could save its best player's legs during the season. You need to be such a ginormous bust that your coach gave up on you within three weeks. You need to be untradable even though you have a reasonable salary ($21 million, five years). You need to become the albatross for a potential championship team that's single-handedly lowering its ceiling from an "A-plus" to an "A-minus." In other words, you need to be Marcus Banks.

[The Miz]

Weird, Stephen A Smith and Tim Legler are calling the punishment too harsh and defending Joey Crawford. While I might not always agree with their opinions they both seem to be pretty knowledgable about basketball, but I don't see how the hell you could argue against firing him. A referee/umpire/official's job in any sport is to call the game with no bias against either team or player. He clearly has a bias against one team's best player so how could anyone know for sure if he isn't picking sides in every game he officials?

[Skippord]

DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME?

[CNM]

Crawford is done. He apparently told David Stern that if the same situation came up he'd do the exact same thing.

[SammyG]

Pleaaasee beat the Queens tommorrow. so we play PHX fo sho.

[KingofOldSchool]

Come on Washington, we need a better chance at a Top 10 pick.

[MTH15]

LOL, the wizards are gonna get owned in the 1st round. They suck now. Antwaan Jamison drops 48 and they still lose by 6.

[The Miz]

If the Sonics president isn't lying about moving the team after 2009 I'm through with NBA basketball

[SammyG]

Ok, kinda nervous. Down 4 to the Queens at halftime in Arco, GS is winning easily. I dont want Dallas damnit. Kobe is scoring at will, but he wont shoot that much wtf. Meh, im sure he will be way more aggressive 2nd half.

[McLegend]

Lakers are going out in the first round no matter what.

[SammyG]

Whass da deal? Ish ya bwoi out here in deeze woods. WOOOO. We can really match up well with PHX, we proved that last year in the playoffs. Karma might just be a bitch. I can not wait.

[SammyG]

Did anyone see Ronny's hair last night?
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l248/Sammy_GD/RONNY.jpg

I am really excited for this PHX series. It's gonna be good.

[The Miz]

sleeper pick - Warriors over Mavs. Playing the best basketball at the end of the season generally translates to success in a 7 game series. I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised.

[CNM]

I've actually seen a few people pick the Warriors. They were 3-0 vs Dallas in the regular season and the only team that the Mavs didn't beat.

[SammyG]

<DIR>Isiah Thomas' associates say his mood has been miserable the last two weeks, watching his undermanned Knicks go down in flames. Thomas said he believes the Knicks are the best 33-49 team ever assembled. One day after owner James Dolan claimed the Knicks almost made the playoffs -- they actually finished seven games behind No. 8 Orlando.

[Nervous Ferret]

Warriors will win tommorrow :o

[DaveWadding]

LAAAAAKE SHOWWWWWWWW

[SammyG]

Great game. we showed that we can make this a good fucking series. Near tears right now that we didnt win this game. It was our fuckin game damnit. I dont think Barbosa is gonna go off like that again anytime soon, and Kobe was absolutely awful in the 4th. Game 2 is ours

[McLegend]

1 for his last 13.
