2015 NBA 'OFFS

wow ever heard of free speech

I mean that's not free speech so much as it is "lying"

They should address their bench after they remove Doc Rivers' GM authority

couldn't agree more. i truly don't understand how doc doesn't take more heat about his team-building. i mean i know ppl on the internet make fun of him, but no one around the league has the balls to call out trading for your own son as blatantly unprofessional?

he traded for him AND plays him too much!

Rivers' GM record is very simply:

-awful FA signings
-trading for his son
-the dudley salary dump fiasco
-first round picks who never played/play
-the bledsoe trade

talented GMs must shake their head at what he's done with 2 years to surround CP3/Griffin/Jordan. You could give Morey no money, no draft picks and he'd do a better job just with d-leaguers.

not to mention letting nate robinson walk, one of the only kinda decent bench pieces he's ever had, after two 10 day contracts

tbf that's blatant nate robinson fandom on my part but ffs he would've done more now than spencer fucking hawes can/is!

have we talked abt this rondo not getting a playoff share thing? seems kinda dirty even if he did m/l quit on them.

it usually comes down to a vote ime

anyway it's only five games so i think he'll live

man there's great stuff about lebron and pierce in the simmons/windhorst podcast. did anyone know about how their feud started?

Mike Fratello says you have to guard Pero Antic beyond the 3 point line

i have to say the whole digression in that podcast about pierce and lebron has me extremely intrigued about a potential wiz/cavs east final

I did not know the story and really dug it, kinda crazy it's a fuckin preseason game in 2004

speaking of podcasts today's BS report with haralabob le flambeur is almost entirely about spurs-clips, officiating, etc, v interesting stuff

Lemme guess bob says something like he's not going to say it was fixed but then spends the next ten minutes strongly implying it was fixed

lol no, but he does bring up the beef between doc and bill kennedy

having gotten into a public twitter tiff with h-bob I am not the biggest fan of his rich person kinda sociopath vibe but he's v smart, respeck where due

He fought with their coach and literally quit on them in middle of a game I'd be pissed if I were a mav

I don't get why they hid behind the injury thing and didn't just suspend him. Now they don't have a leg to stand on in hiding behind the player vote and refusing to pay him.

They're not "hiding behind" the player vote. That's how shares are determined.

Lol Alan Anderson of all people singlehandedly keeping this from turning into a blowout

im def into bob's rich guy sociopath thing. if you're gonna be a rich sociopath at least become a basketball nerd.

lol there are def ways to be a sociopath that are a lot more damaging to human society it's true

HAWKS PLZ JUST END THIS

are the hawks bad now or do they just not know how to play in the 'offs or what i haven't watched a second of that series and don't plan on it unless it goes to 7

So many 3 attempts

it's a bit of hangover from that swoon of theirs, bit of unlucky breaks on shots they usually hit, and a surprising amount of brooklyn...not sucking

don't blame you for not watching I watched exactly one full game (1)

Jarreettt XD

demareeeeeee

Wtf was that shot from Lopez

Deron finally benched in crunch time after a couple horrible turnovers and a bad reach in foul after Teague got by him

Dude is so toast

Ugh Jarrett Jack has never lost that tendency to try to abort a drive and pass instead while he's in the air, so terrible

Blopez is 100% gassed also Hawks should be ashamed if they manage to give this away

omg there's portland blood everywhere on the memphis court :/

I spoke too soon! this is v close now. go blazers.

amazed by the noncall on that meyers leonard goaltend

he actually tipped it across the rim

time to automate that shit, come on

the universe adjusts itself properly and supports underdogs every once in a while

tbh I think we're seeing underdog luck mostly bc the hoops gods are making up for letting the rox escape the first round

i give you my personal guarantee ('The Clay Bond') that portland wins this series

reminder that meyers leonard had a 50/40/90 season

man gasol is so fuckin good

he is a genius for real

this is def the most evenly matched they've looked all series both teams playin great

vince had a vintage putback dunk about halfway through the second and i would like to shout that out

yeah and he had another nice slam just a couple of minutes ago

man there's great stuff about lebron and pierce in the simmons/windhorst podcast. did anyone know about how their feud started?

how did it start

i remember lebron giving an interview a few years back about how he doesn't really have any rivals and PP is his rival by default. i thought there was mutual respect tho, idk i'll listen to the podcast tomorrow on the plane unlike SOME PPL ITT who are so above podcasts

just tell me what is inside the podcasts
