Random NBA Discussion 2013-14 Season

How? Which team are you taking out of the playoffs picture? Philly, Atlanta or Charlotte-- at least two of these teams will make it to the playoffs, along with the ones last year except Nets & Celctics.

You are SoF'nDelusional if you think the Nets won't make the Playoffs in the East.

[NovU]

SoF'nAwesome, your sarcasm detector seems to be broken.

But I actually think the Celtics with right rotation can be an interesting bunch. Their recent 4 game mini winning streak was a good showcase of potential fringe playoffs team's prowness. Just that... Nobody in this world wants to tank as much as Ainge doesand Sauru. Nobody.

[SoF'nAwesome]

JinxDrew-- the nick I had been searching for forever. NovU, I was replying to old man sauru. He seems to rooting for Celtics not to tank, in mysterious ways.

mandich, well, not underestimating Nets or something, but if Philly does keep playing like this...anyways, I should have added a maybe to the Nets, still, they are not like a team(atm) that WILL NO DOUBT make the playoffs no matter what. It depends mostly on how those 3 teams I mentioned perform.

Managed to catch the end of GSW and OKC when I was at the gym. One of the best finishes of the season; both shots were impressive.

[NovU]

How good is Roy Hibbert this season? The guy's a monster in the middle, protecting the rim like Bill Russell. He had 8 blocks while having 24pts-10reb. Meanwhile Dwight's a step slower this season and HOU still has no D. WTF is going on there.

[shadowgrin]

Dat DRtg. So hawt.

[NovU]

And his BLK%... wtf really

[deihatein]

Turnovers killed the Mavs over the Heat tonight. Still nice seeing Vintage Dirk and Monta playing brand new "Monta Basketball"

[Alpha_]

Career-high in steals(8) for D-Wade.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Monta Ellis was right, if they can lessen their turnovers, this team can surely beat any team in the league.

Monster shooting by Bron. Damn MVP.

[NovU]

Oh boy.

There just is no place for this kind of behaviour. He should be banned for 6 games minimum imo. I say the Heat put him on the trade block.

He should be banned from the NBA and charged with assault. We can't let another Ron Artest type incident slip justice again.

[Andrew]

The Heat may disagree with the one game suspension, but it seems fair enough to me. He was out of control, he lost his cool, the league is saying cut that out. Let him miss a game and lose some pocket change, then move on.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Dope Irving. What a game.

And insane LeBron yet again. But that BLOCK!

Screw that, I say throw in the death penalty.

Yes. It's not like he's MWP and is a sadistic asshole and always means harm, he even pulled up Nowitzki after that. And I believe it was an accident.

[Moz]

Some speculates that he's just pulling his arm away because Dalembert held him... He's still a moron nonetheless

I wasn't kidding. I really despise boneheaded assault on the court. (And this is coming from a hardcore UFC fan and a martial arts practitioner) If anyone wanted to throw random punches/elbows out of nowhere, they should go on a ring or octagon. Basketball tough guys are just silly and stupid, most importantly dangerous considering the nature the way basketball is played. I am ok with enforcers occasionally standing up for their team or whatever, but this Chalmers case is anything but that.

I actually don't dislike Chalmers. I just have always thought he's expandable for something better. He's likely the best trade chip that the Heat have, and the Heat probably could get away with ever improving Norris Cole. No doubt he's a valuable asset when he's on but it was always often that his boneheaded plays hurt the team when it really mattered, as shown in playoffs always. I'd say he's the best chance we got, to improve the team.

And elbowing looked deliberate, to someone's jaw who wasn't expecting it. That's just dangerous and should never happen in any basketball world. I don't care who it is, punish him enough to set the example. NBA's too nice though as history tells us, just look at Kobe and his infamous elbow. SMH

[shadowgrin]

Or Dwyane Wade and his bitch move strikes.

[NovU]

This obsession of yours on Wade doesn't sound healthy.

[shadowgrin]

Bitch please, this disregard of facts isn't even funny.

But this wasn't anything about Wade to begin with.

[shadowgrin]

It was about Chalmers and I don't know what Kobe has anything to do with it either.

[NovU]

It was probably because Kobe was well known for his elbowing at some point in his career. But thanks for bitching about Wade bitch move strikes.

[shadowgrin]

And Wade is currently known for bitch move hard fouls as to even do it in an All-Star game that's why he got a mention.
