NBA Discussion Thread

I've definitely seen all of those plays over the years, but seeing all of them put together is pretty damning for him.

Ugh, seeing this thread made me check the current NBA standings, and as a Blazer fan, I'm glad I haven't been watching basketball this season. At least the Warriors are also sucking.

Blazers will be tanking for the next couple years at least, and that's assuming Scoot works out.

Lol this dude sucks.


Why yes I'm using my 5000th post, as the arbiter of suck, to describe someone as sucking.

Tubby isn't around anymore to appreciate my memes

your memes are alright. decent even.

New Zealand is like discount Australia

nah nz is more expensive than australia and has nicer things

you're trying to say australia is better than nz, and it easily is imo - and yet you've somehow fucked it up anyway

Actually, I was saying your comment is like the off-brand appreciation that Vash was looking for from tubby and then I replaced your names with your respective countries.

Having not been to either, I was under the impression that New Zealand was nicer than Australia… prettier and with less deadly animals

ah understood i see what you mean, thanks for the clarity

yes that's correct. it's definitely much nicer to visit, but it's way more expensive to live here and you make less money too.

So it’s the NYC of your part of the globe

Plus NZ has that toothbrush fence

yes but for the total opposite reasons haha.

What did you guys think of the Pacers trading for Siakam? Gave up so much for what could potentially be a rental... Hopefully they get an extension done.

I was personally shocked especially after the reports came out that he was  adamant about testing free agency and not negotiating a long term deal with any trade partner.

Indy has a good shot at going deep this year though. I guess they feel like a deep playoff run might change his mind.

Yeah, but three firsts... I figured one first, max. Toronto waited forever to trade this guy (like they did with OG too) and somehow still made out like a bandit.

Hey. Hello. Playoffs.


Go Celtics. Don't let me down again this year.

EAST:
1v8: Game 2 for Celtics/Heat is tonight. Stupidly at the same time as the Bruins take on the Leafs in Game 3 up in Toronto...that sucks. Celtics are looking to take a 2-0 lead after dominating Game 1.

2v7: Knicks are up 2-0 on the 76ers with Game 2 being much closer than Game 1. Game 3 is tomorrow night in Philly.

3v6: Bucks and Pacers have split 1-1 so far, with Game 3 coming to us on Friday

4v5: Cavs are up 2-0 on the Magic in what has been a low scoring series so far (not a single 100 point game). Game 3 is tomorrow night.


WEST
1v8: The Thunder and Pelicans have Game 2 tonight, with Game 1 being incredibly close for a 1v8 matchup (2 point victory).

2v7: Nuggets lead the Lakers 2-0 after an epic comeback in Game 2. Game 3 is tomorrow.

3v6: Timberwolves lead the Suns 2-0 with two relatively easy games so far. Game 3 is Friday.

4v5: Clippers and Mavs are tied 1-1 in the series so far. Game 3 is Friday.

 

[Cam]

A lot of great games going on. Lakers losing to Nuggets in Game 2 was absolutely heart wrenching for me. Owned the entire game and choked at the end.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Well Miami is playing much better so far in game 2 than they did in game 1.

 

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Jamal Murray made a shot.

 

[VashTheStampede]

(Gonna drown my Pelicans sorrows in Laker tears)

 

[shortkut]

Had anyone other than Embiid pulled that shit, it wouldn’t have been a flagrant 1, it would have been at least an ejection, probably a suspension too. That was a bullshit call

Fuck LeBron.

 

[Quagmire]

Im not a huge NBA fan, but NBA is apparently trying to hide Embiid's dirty plays

There was a good reddit thread about it, but it got taken down it appears

Actually was able to find it though

 

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

On the bright side, it seems embiid is cooked and won’t even make it to the 2nd round to choke this time

 

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Lakers getting away with crimes against humanity as fouls in the second half combined with the nuggets not being able to put away a layup with 4 offensive rebounds on the attempts OR EVEN A GOSH DARN FREE THROW tells me the NBA is getting what they want in having two additional days for the media to slurp on lebron

 

[Fire Queen]

it would be really funny if the first 0-3 comeback in NBA history is lebron and then he gets swept in the next round anyway

 

[Jon]

I repeat... fuck LeBron.

Quiet you

 

[Joseph Snapple]

with giannis and now dame out this is a really shitty way to have the season come to a close.

time to start settling on my two bandwagon teams i suppose.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

White is playing like a man possessed tonight. Jesus.

 

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

Free throw disparity is 26-9 in the Den/LA game. Three guesses who has the 26

 

[VashTheStampede]

What a shit end to a promising season. Have to wonder what happens if Zion doesn't tweak his hammy at the end of the Lakers game.

I think we gotta blow it up and try to put a PG and modern C around Zion/Herb/Trey.

Also the team needs to work on their flop game in the off-season because that's the way the whole fucking game has gone.

WE HAVE BEATEN THE WHISTLE AGAIN! LEBRON GO HOME!

 

[ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt]

LeBye

 

[A Maybe Baker]

The Celtics just put up 41 in the first quarter.

 

[Benzine]

You could tell from a few plays in it was gonna be like this. When it was 15-11, it felt like a 40 point gap rather than 4.
