He sorta has an agenda, that his listeners will eat up. Quote
WhiteWonder Posted May 18 Author Posted May 18 Lebron will want to come back to Cleveland. Hope they tell him to fock off and flop somewhere else 1 Quote

thegeneral Posted May 18 Posted May 18 This is when NBA really starts getting good. Not been a particularly good playoffs up to this point. Too many ass kickings. In Manhattan next week. Looking forward to watching some Knicks games. Pulling for them versus Spurs. Quote

dogcows Posted May 20 Posted May 20 I was gonna turn off the Cavs/Knicks game when the Cavs were up by 20 in the 4th… glad I didn’t! Crazy comeback, now into OT… Quote

Crazy comeback, now into OT… Cleveland, letting Jalen Brunson eviscerate James Harden one on one for the last 45 minutes has been quite the coaching decision. what a scene though…great comeback Quote
GobbleDog Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Great game. Cavs probably wondering if they'd be better off without Harden... another 6 turnover game and a few air-balls. I figured this would be a typical Knicks blow out and Game 2 would be the nail biter. Now I have a feeling Game 2 will be Knicks domination. Cavs caught the Knicks on a down night, took a massive lead... and blew it. Mentally devastating, and unlikely to catch the Knicks on back to back down games considering they've been blowing teams out all playoffs. 1 Quote

Gepetto Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Harden helped the Cavs get this far. I still can't believe they traded a young Darius Garland for him, but Garland was/is injured and they didn't want to give up on this year I guess. Two great games in the semifinals. I can't believe Houston traded Jalen Green et al for Durant either. Some GMs just must love older stars. Quote
posty Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Typical NBA game, but LOL that Harden crapped the bed again... Quote

These guys do all sorts of projections, etc. that if they take on aging player, he will probably average this, but we will probably put this many more butts in seats and sell this much more merchandise. now I don’t know how many butts James Harden puts in the seats anymore, but he’s about at his career average. The difference is it feels like he really has to work his way up to getting to that average where he used to have to have a string of bad nights to get down to his average. Quote
GobbleDog Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Entering Tuesday, NBA teams trailing by 22 points or more in the fourth quarter of the playoffs had a record of 1-594. Now there's 2. At 7:49 in the fourth and down 71 - 93, the Knicks moneyline odds reached 150-1. Quote
thegeneral Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Another great game. The Spur threw down one of the nastiest dunks I have seen in some time. Playoffs have def arrived. Quote

The only thing I'd worry about with him is nagging injuries down the line. We typically see players of his size break down eventually, and fast. Hopefully he stays healthy and never has to deal with that. He's one of the best I've ever seen. Quote

Yeah, reminds me a little bit of when teams realize they didn’t have a whole lot of answers for Allen Iverson they just started beating him up and putting him on the floor all the time. I was telling a buddy last night that I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a superstar who you could say might be the face of the league get as few calls as he actually does. I’m just not sure they can beat OKC without fox and Harper. Harper‘s been really really good. Quote
thegeneral Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Another backcourt guy out for the Spurs now. Don’t think they have enough even with the most dominate player on the court. Quote
listen2me 23 Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Just got a good reminder of why I watch roughly 7 dribbles of Live NBA a year. Just saw a mashup of the recent game where SGA flopped on every shot just about. This is the MVP? Lmao. This is unwatchable. Eat your heart out Lebron! You got nothing on this guy! Quote

First two games of conference finals were epic. The flopping is a bit rough but the talent, skill when they are going all out is great. Spurs and Knicks would be a great finals. Quote

Don’t think they have enough even with the most dominate player on the court. I think they still have plenty. Stephon Castle can play point guard and shooting guard. Devin Vassell can play shooting guard and small forward, and Keldon Johnson can play shooting guard and small forward. I think Keldon Johnson should have started all year. Quote

listen2me 23 Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Where does the sniper sit each thunder game? You know the guy that sends a bb into SGAs ass each time he shoots? Hes worse than soccer players. Quote
listen2me 23 Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I was watching a clip of Iverson. At 160lbs getting wacked on the head going into weird situations.....held his feet all the time if he could. The current mvp cant get off a jumper without falling down. End of story. Quote
WhiteWonder Posted May 25 Author Posted May 25 the NBA is in a sad state if we need to get o the conference finals for "the playoffs to arrive" or games to be "epic" (they really are not) Quote

Yup, it's a horrible product to watch right now. Easily fixed, quit calling that bs. Wemby is incredible though. Quote
listen2me 23 Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Sga- 16 pts from field. 16 pts off 17 free throws. Easy 32. He throws a stiff arm or literally grabs the defenders arm routinely. Did not know that was legal. Then flops and gets a call where no one touches him. I love basketball, it was my main sport in HS. But I have no idea what is going on here. Rules are random. Its wishy washy. There is no rhyme or reason to calls. Its half acting. Half basketball. Charles Barkley: "I have been kissed harder" Quote
listen2me 23 Posted May 27 Posted May 27 I also get landing zone rules have been around. But does it basically mean you cannot contest a jumper? How do you go up and contest a shot without being anywhere around the guy when coming down? I saw a clip of Fox ending up behind SGA. Doesnt touch him. Behind him. SGA falls down and its a landing zone call. So where exactly can the defender be to avoid a landing zone call? Is it even possible? Unless the guy is shooting a hard fadeaway where exactly can the defender end up? Apparently behind the jump shooter is landing zone. So in that case you technically need to be 5 feet away from the guy. Doesnt make any sense. Quote

What's always driven me insane ... and it happens in both NBA and college ... is when a shooter fakes a shot, tricks a defender to jump, then intentionally jumps into the defender while shooting and gets a foul. That's ridiculous. The shooter basically fouled himself. They shouldn't call that garbage. Quote
