Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

they play in diff conferences tho

how many allstars from the 2011 draft I wonder

it has not been a great year for my 2011 draft opinion

smh at myself

it's still a collection of nice players with little franchise shifting star power, but very good depth now

I'd prob swap cousins in for kd (bc he's missed half the year) or duncan (let the old man sit) but otherwise k3v otm.

u got to put kd in there CMON dont have the allstar game w/o the best player

a couple weeks back I'd have Conley over cp3 too but the clips have really picked it up and you can't say paul doesn't belong.

he's played in like 4 games man idk

KD PLAYS THATS FINAL

it has not been a great year for my 2011 draft opinion

lmao

oh wait sorry I thought you were saying it wasn't a great year for the 2011 draft in your opinion, I respect your yielding to the weight of the events

thabo can't shoot 3s

thabo more like thab no

Curry should lose his spot for that TO last night.

if the playoffs had totally legit seeding, per grantland

feel like most of those would be pretty fuckin great matchups, honestly

make it so

even the bucks would prob put up an ok fight against GSW, enough to avoid a complete sweep imo

respect to jordan xps

bucks would almost certainly get swept by the warriors imo.

Hawks vs OKC in rd 1 is ruthless.

held today hawks win that no prob

yeah okc doesnt look right yet

yeah on paper it's scarier than in okc's dysfunctional reality xp

maximum 3 east teams getting out of the first round

(guaranteed one)

honestly those playoffs look no more exciting than the current version

it might be more "fair" but i don't think from a watchability standpoint it's much better

you really have no preference between charlotte and okc

one good west team will get left out, that's really the only thing this is fixing

thats an improvement!

it also shd be noted at the same time leaves at least one really shitty team out

i remain ambivalent about this and maintain that the playoffs are as much about teams banging into each other over the years as anything else

cleveland vs portland and dallas vs toronto do nothing for me, for instance

that is a fair assessment

look at the current matchups do they all do something for you guessing the answer is no

no, of course not

i'm not saying that the current match ups are obviously better, just that these aren't either

playoff rivalries are cool for sure but even cooler is watching better teams play each other, besides it not too hard to imagine a way of keep conference seeding mostly intact

well current matchups can also be setting shit up down the line. Portland vs Houston didn't mean a lot going into it last year, but if they met this year there'd be a little bit of stink to it. xps

listen just keep the conference seeding except move the extra teams from the one conference over to the conference that doesnt have enough, best of both worlds

aw dammit my dudes are playing the cavs tonight and lebron's sitting :(

well current matchups can also be setting shit up down the line.

problem is in this open seeding scheme theyre less likely to reoccur year to year

watching the sportscenter crawl in a bar b/c i hadn't left the house for two and a half days, did i really just see lebron james - questionable (wrists)?

how can someone have problems with both wrists

xp the struggle with juno is so real in this city

re: wrists, idk maybe he was bench pressing and lifted too much & made both wrists hurt

(i don't know jackshit about weight-lifting)

or he could have fallen in the game and landed on both hands

Kobe out 9 months, just hang it up dude

possible

xp fine i guess it is possible to fall equally bad on multiple wrists
