waiting for the other shoelace to drop: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

since the sixers last won

the pistons have probably been the most embarrassing team in the nba this year, worse than cleveland, the knicks etc

at least now we know what its like when no one on a whole team can shoot at all

cool dudes club

Nash had crazy eyes

cute pic

spurs on a 17 game win streak

pretty good team, them

can't wait until they inevitably fall into a mini slump at the wrong time and people wonder if the thunder or whoever are just too athletic for them

the thunder r too athletics for them tho

lol Bucks scored 67 tonight.

the thunder r too athletics for them tho

lol was gonna say

the spurs are better at basketball tho

only the western conference finals will tell

if either team gets there

does anyone seriously think the spurs won't make it to the wcf?

who knows

as it stands now, the spurs could lose to either memphis or houston, sure

remember the spurs were really close to being taken to the brink by golden state last year

the spurs have been balling out of control but i'm not sure how you could legitimately say that two of the top 4 western conference teams are clearly better than the other two

as it stands now, the spurs could lose to either memphis or houston, sure

u trollin son, memphis is fucking shook against the spurs. houston's good, def think that could be a series, but they have no playoff exp together.

also that never happened with gsw, spurs p much in control of that whole series with a lil splashiness to liven things up.

also ya i can say sas and okc are clearly better than lac and hou. beyond win-loss its what i call the "aint shit rating" basicaly u measure what each team has won (lac...aint shit). hou's ASR is a bit better bc of harden and howard's respective finals trips on other teams, but they mostly aint shit since they did fuck all in the finals. (2 wins btwn the two iirc)

feel like the west is so stacked anything cld happen, its gonna be tuff

and while the s.a. can no doubt beat the thunder its really not a good matchup for them and theyd rather play anyone else

if i had to bet id have okc coming out of the west but it really cld be andyone

i mean i agree, spurs are on fire, but i fear okc just for durant and no other reason

playoffs are about single dudes beasting. spurs have some good defenders tho, kawhi can give durant lil fits. the key will be to stop everyone else if they clamp down on KD.

*i agree the west is close, meant to say
im just not *bangs gavel* sold on anyone besides spurs or okc coming out the west

yeah there are tiers for sure id prob do it like

the favorites
okc
s.a.

close third
clips

maaaybe
houston
g.s.
memphis

nah
portland
phoenix
dallas

i realize thats 9 teams lol

i mean i agree, spurs are on fire, but i fear okc just for durant and no other reason

feel like its more abt okcs athleticism disrupting s.a.s control flow

like they can move on defense in such a way that the spurs ball movement doesnt really produce the open looks theyre used to

that of course assumes theyre gonna remember how to play D at some point, they do seem to be doing a lil better recently

houston vs san antonio this year

W 112-106
W 111-98
W 97-90

i wouldn't bet on the rockets or anything but

yeah another not a great matchup for the spurs, suspect the rockets cant really get their act together enough to win that series tho

yeah beating the spurs four in 7 would take a lot more defensive discipline than the rockets have shown but their defense is actually underrated and i do think the spurs can have problems in the playoffs vs teams with young legs (okc in 2012, gs last year)

i'd think a healthy pat bev would be required to make that a series.

pacers tryina lose to the cavs lol

Tryin to lose to everyone but the heat it seems

true

heat are gonna get the 1 seed after all

wonder how much the pacers relentless quest for the 1 seed contributed to their slump, irony

sexi team

u jest, but george hill is fine as hell

pg's Gatorade commercial features the most boring dunk scream. "aaaah." What a waste of "slam"

I've finally heard hibbert interviewed a few places and he seems legit kick it with-able and a cool dude, v bosh like

lance stephenson has such a strange look in that picture. better look when he's yelling menacingly at dwyane wade.

Advice for Rondo on his analyst debut tomorrow night? “What Johnny Most told me to do, and thats gargle.”

Lol Orlando basically just lost to Toronto on a 5 sec violation down three- subtle and effective tanking

Dion Waiters leading the Cavaliers to the playoffs is a thing that is occurring
