2015 NBA 'OFFS

um design is not fashion hello

someone tell me that clippers jersey is not real

it cannot be real

well its a leak so it cld just be a proposal/work in progress etc

clippers logo was driving me nuts and i finally realized what it's reminding me of

i wish you guys would use the fashion thread to talk about design stuff -_-

probably my fave thing about ilh other than the great posters is the digressive nature, and I will endlessly encourage it sorry kev.

forks, that leads us naturally to this nonsense.

sterling was the smoke beast all along, i see, i see

my friend found 3.2:1 odds for the cavs title chances. i'm looking at where the lines are now and i don't really love any of them

bovada sez both them and golden state have 11/5 odds

I guess now's a good time to mention that back in July when I was hootin' and hollerin' about LeBron coming back, I happened to be in Vegas and I put a huge wager on the Cavs winning the NBA Finals at 25:1. I really hope they don't let me down.

(i dont know shit about gambling thats just the first sports book that came up in google)

NBA Championship odds: @Warriors 48%, @Cavs 21%, @Spurs 12%, @LAClippers 8%, @ATLHawks 5%: http://53eig.ht/1GUkSQF

I hate the way a lot of 538 articles contain stats and observations about those stats with no regard for immediate context. Never get a sense that these people are talking about something they've actually watched.

good luck, snrub

yeah i mean thats kinda the whole point of their approach xp bring yr own context lol

I would definitely hedge your bet at some point snrub, at least in the finals

xp
Nah there's always context and the stats and observations are largely informed by what they choose to ignore/include.

Using single-season stats as a basis for these predictions when a lot of rosters change drastically half way through doesn't seem sensible to me.

The Nets may have been the worst team to make the playoffs looking at the season as a whole but that fact that they've recently improved with Lopez healthy and finished the season 13-6 isn't reflected in that.

Biggest news out of NBA owners meeting: Back-to-backs and four games in five days will be reduced; league will extend season by a week.

holy moley

jeeeeeeesus

players gonna get paaaaaid

wow

gonna be real hard to sign a RFA this offseason without getting matched

sry snrub ur team wont make it past round 1

idk brian windhorst says lebron is 24-3 in the first round over the past six seasons and that could spell bad news for the celtics

boston radio guys were killing windhorst for that

yea lol i dont think any of the ilh celtics partisans expect anything beyond a win or two & i would personally be elated by that

im just really trying not to get high on hope & be disappointed

a game 6 in boston would just be tremendous

game four in boston celtics sweep bron retires at half court hands his headband to kelly o

big if true

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

The Warriors are going to have a dogfight getting out of the west, but if they can get past the WCF, they should be able to knock off the east champion, be it the Hawks, Cavs or Bulls. I picked them to go the whole way, but realistically the Spurs are going to be tough to dethrone and it was hard to pick against them.

Yo I never did my predix gotta get them down

warriors (1) vs pelicans (8)- gsw sweep
rockets (2) vs mavericks (7)- Houston in 7
clippers (3) vs spurs (6)- Spurs in 6
grizzlies (5) vs blazers (4)- Blazers in 6

hawks (1) vs nets (8)- sweep
cavs (2) vs celtics (7)- cavs in 6
chicago (3) vs bucks (6)- bulls in 7 ps rose gets injured in this one
raptors (4) vs wizards (5)- wizards in 7? I dunno who cares

Warriors over Houston in 5
Spurs over blaZers in 6
Warriors over Spurs in 7

Hawks beat wizards in 5
Cavs beat Bulls in 5
Cavs over Hawks in 7

Finals- warriors in 6 and the wins are blowouts

Honestly I'm really feeling the Spurs to win it but I'm going to stick my call a while back that gsw could do it

And Kerr blazing straight to the chip in his first year would be almost as awesome as pop finally getting a back to back bc we have one more way to kick hand down man down

Also leeee will need to photoshop a sixth finger onto that gif of Kerr with his rings in the snow

what's yr reasoning on picking the blazers? nobody's picking the blazers! they're super beat up and i have a feeling memphis is going to completely shut down lillard.

Tony Allen and Mike Conley might not play, though?

I had my postseason fantasy draft last night and wound up with three pelicans. is that good

last i saw allen and conley are likely for game 1

afflalo is questionable and batum & mccollum are likely i believe

what's yr reasoning on picking the blazers? nobody's picking the blazers! they're super beat up and i have a feeling memphis is going to completely shut down lillard.

Grizz r beat up and I believe in the power of Aldridge and the omen

Also the curse of Jeff green

I dunno I'm just feeling at least one upset in the west, I feel like Portland is gonna snap out of their funk long enough to make it a series at least

Ha is it technically an upset when Portland has the higher seed tho
