Random NBA Discussion 2013-14 Season

[NovU]

27 game winning streak. That's a distant memory now.

[Andrew]

Still ample time to get into gear. The Playoffs are also a different beast.

[_Steve_]

No Joel Anthony, no Oden and every role player who's name is not Chris Andersen suck.

Fixed.

Well, you're right... as always.

Toney Douglas is the first player who wasn't resurrected properly, that's what's hurting them. If we had a "new guy in the locker room" boost like the previous seasons, it might have been a different scenario.

Both Beasley & Oden are doing better than expected. But still, it's not enough.

Burn by Steve, nice

Body of journeyman Forward Quinton Ross was found in a shallow grave.

It wasn't the former basketball player.

[NovU]

When will 76ers win the game? 11 remaining games, 25th straight loss.

[Patr1ck]

They screwed up on last years pick, so they might as well go for it again at this point.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Against Rockets? I doubt it.

[Andrew]

At this point, it looks like they'll be "beating" the Cavs' dubious record. If they do win again before the end of the season, I'd hate to be the team on the other side of the scoreboard. At least it won't be the Bulls, since they don't play them again this season.

Blazers lose in Orlando. No Aldridge, no excuse when playing a team that is trying to lose. At this rate, Portland will probably miss the playoffs, and honestly, phoenix and memphis deserve to more. Here's hoping for a coaching change in the off season!

[bowdown]

Yeah Lillard has been underwhelming too. Has been shooting 29% three pointers in March with 7 attempts a game. And that's not counting this ORL game.


BTW, seeing as how John Wall may have developed a reliable long range jumpshot fo-real. I'd take him over Lillard.

[NovU]

Wow, I didn't realize the Blazers are only 2.5 game ahead of 9th Suns until reading lamrock's post.

At least Lamarcus is due back soon though.

[shadowgrin]

So the Charlotte Hornets are 7th in the East. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?

[SoF'nAwesome]

I hate this. benji is gonna get to gloat all wise again if Trailblazers don't make the playoffs.

[Mandich]

After everyone hating on the Jefferson signing, it's nice to see Al doing great and actually proving Charlotte the chance of getting into the playoffs.

[stereoxide]

I hate this. benji is gonna get to gloat all wise again if Trailblazers don't make the playoffs.

Jailblazers 2.0 anyone?

[shadowgrin]

Jailblazers 2.0 anyone?

No.

That Jailblazers team had more talent.

[_Steve_]

They had Sheed!

Miami... I mean the refs just through Stephenson out of the game.

[shadowgrin]

They had Sheed!

Exactly.
Good to know that there are people in the forums with excellent basketball knowledge.



Chris Paul with a stinker. 0-12 FG

[SoF'nAwesome]

Heat just fucked up their chances for the #1 seed. LeBron played excellent, but only LeBron played in Miami. And Pacers had nice 3 point shooting.

[NovU]

Well... what a stinker. This was a hard fought, a very winnable game. It's probably more the fatigue and bruise pain come with the loss.

Miami... I mean the refs just through Stephenson out of the game.

I don't know what's with Stephenson, but I am kinda starting to enjoy watching him play but hate his personality at the same time. He's definitely the naughty bad ass type on the court and he'll let you know that in the face. He's got this unique excessive showmanship and is never shy about showing his emotions, definitely an attention grabber. Only problem is that he gets on nerves of everybody. Today with Wade was another example. That second T was well deserving. It was stupid of him to be shouting anything in Wade's face right in front of refs. Also there was a rumor that teammates aren't happy with him as they think he's a stat whore (ie. Hibbert gets his reb stolen).

But I think he has great feel for the game and is a great talent on both ends. He's a pretty tough guy with great strength for a shooting guard. Kinda reminds me of Mitch Richmond's body with similar defensive tenacity. On offense, he seems to be able to get by the defenders pretty well and make plays.

[SoF'nAwesome]

That was the ECF right there. That's what worries me the most. Or will it be the whole "fatigue from back to back" headline for Miami in the end of this season?
