Random NBA Discussion 2013-14 Season

For the first time when I was rooting for the Rockets, they lose with Howard doing some very nice passing.

Durant did his thing, dropped 42. AGAIN.

- What a feisty game between OKC and HOU. Pissed off Westbrook and Beverley literally tried to murder each other. A lot of other good scuffles as well. You just have to hope for these two teams to meet up in the playoffs.

- The Blazers continue to disappoint. They got slaughtered in the grind house today. Notice how the Warriors are only 2 games behind now(possibly 1.5 with win tonight). They need to start picking it up. Matthew West and Lamarcus will need to go back to early season form.

- The Suns are now out of playoffs picture. We saw this coming but it still stinks. The Suns were supposed to land Wiggins or Jabari. Instead their rebuilding plan has halted completely and they won't even play in the playoffs.

You are not Chris Broussard.

I knew someone would point that out! My sources told me so.

" The Cavs had the no. 1, no. 4, no. 4 and no. 1 picks in the past four drafts and can’t make the 2014 playoffs."

Nets/Heat turned out to be another competitive clash between the two this season, even with KG and Lopez out of action. Great stop by Livingston in the final seconds to eke out the win.

[NovU]

Dirk Nowitzki now 12th in all time scoring list.

76ers losing streak now at 18th.

Two amazing achievements in one evening, 2 for 1.

[shadowgrin]

Chris Paul's a damn necromancer, reviving the corpse of Danny Granger while Jamal Crawford is out.

[SoF'nAwesome]

LeBron shouldn't have scored that 61. It seems to have sucked his form out off him.

Great stop by Livingston in the final seconds to eke out the win.

Yep, also that clutch shot by Deron who was adding up to nothing through the whole game. And Heat(LeBron) just sucked.

76ers losing streak now at 18th.

Is that the longest in NBA history?

You should have known about the Cavs 26 game losing streak after your hero LeBron left them.

[NovU]

It's funny how they're still ahead of the Bucks. That probably motivated them to go on a such nice losing streak.

Teams with lowest winning % and possibly highest chance in lottery...
1) Milwaukee
2) Philadelphia
3) Orlando
4&5) Utha / Boston (tied)
6) LA Lakers
7) Sacramento
8&9) Cleveland / Detroit (LOL)
10) New York (LOL)

Everybody wants top 5 in this year's draft. About now is great time to start tanking. Expect questionable rotation and healthy DNP-CDs.

[bowdown]

Blazers lost another close game to a playoff team. GOD DAMN MAN. Lead by as many as 18 in the second half too.

Exciting game though for b-ball fans.

Detroit's pick goes to Charlotte from the Ben Gordon trade unless if it's top 8. so they need to start losing if they wanna keep it!

Bad rumor roaming around is that Irving is out for the season. That would suck for the Cavs.

Meanwhile, it was a delight seeing Griffin put on a show on his birthday. Also seeing the Heat win was nice

Had the Blazers kept it together in this second half of the season, Portland/Golden State would have been an exciting first round series - that the Blazers probably lose in 6... It's been an exciting year for the Blazers, but honestly, they'll need to shape up if they even want to make the playoffs. As it stands, winning a series is probably out of the question. Making a move at the deadline would have been wise.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Clips will sweep them in the first round series. Or OKC(#3) if Clips keep winning.

[bowdown]

Kyrie Irving is so damn injury prone. Might miss the rest of the season due to a bicep injury.

Its always some weird shit with him.

[SoF'nAwesome]

i want sauru

[NovU]

We will see plenty of him when the Celtics draft Embiid.

[SoF'nAwesome]

The MVP race is a joke now. I certainly didn't expect that. 2OT but Durant, today: 51pts, 12 boards & 7 assists on 15-32 shooting.

And 4-time MVP James: 15pts, 6 boards & 7 assists on 7-14 shooting.

Ray Allen led the Heat with 18 points

KD has become a LBJ caliber player since last season. He's more lethal as a scorer and little less as all around.

But he's stuck in a tiny puny market team which is worrisome because if you wanna be remembered along with true historical greatest, you also want a lot of success in team context (ie. Bill Russell/Wilt comparison). The Thunder already refused to pay Harden and lost him for nothing. This is a sign. In my opinion, the teams like Lakers/Nets/Knicks would have taken on luxury tax to compete at the highest level possible for the best chance at bringing multiple championships to the city.

OKC without Westbrook is as good as any NBA team can get...in the 2000s.

The Spurs have done quite well despite not being one of the bigger markets in the league. Likewise, Charles Barkley's career is a little light on team accomplishments - some very good regular seasons, modest success in the Playoffs, one NBA Finals appearance, no championships - but he's remembered and his greatness was apparent.

One of the reasons that the Thunder elected to trade Harden is because they were already paying Durant a lot of money. I assume they'll be willing to continue to do that, once his current deal is up.

[SoF'nAwesome]

7 losses in the last 11 games.

What went wrong?

[_Steve_]

No Wade, no Oden and every role player who's name is not Allen suck.

[shadowgrin]

No Joel Anthony, no Oden and every role player who's name is not Chris Andersen suck.

Fixed.
