Random NBA Discussion 2014-15 Season

[NovU]

That's the thing. Curry's move was so cunning that CP3 lost him for a moment and messed up his step.

[Mandich]

So what if he got crossed up. Someone posted Paul defensive stats recently and that undeniably shows he is an elite defender in the league. Everyone gets crossed and dunked on.

[NovU]

Splendid play, that's all. Kinda moment that will erupt crowd and fans, the very reason we watch bball. But ofc we can't let that one play dictate our memory of CP3's capability as a defender.

[[Q]]

I find it annoying that casual basketball fans don't understand that like you said everyone gets beat eventually And that falling because of stepping on the offensive player's foot or getting tripped by the screener is not "getting your ankles broken"

[NovU]

Let them be. What can you do. Or maybe I should let them be too.

I used to argue against casual fans saying Kobe clutch when it is actually their selective memory remembering made shots and dismissing thousand of missed shots. It still annoys me but they are casual and they prolly can enjoy the game casually as well. No harm really done until you get involved in discussion lel.

A couple more angles on that one:

Nasty is right.

Meanwhile, Marcus Smart with the quick reflexes and gamewinning putback:

Shaun Livingston also had a low blow on Dirk Nowitzki, which caused the Dallas crowd to boo him for the rest of the night, and the Mavs' announcers to complain about the fact that Steve Kerr left him in the game. They did have a great line about it though: "He went rummaging through Dirk's junkyard."

[NovU]

Celtics take over 8th spot in East. Miami might be done.

[Andrew]

Paul George makes his season debut...and is a little rusty.

[Alpha_]

Rusty indeed. Damn, I'm very glad he's back.

[Andrew]

As it stands though, he finished with 13 points, along with a couple of rebounds and assists in 14 minutes off the bench.

[bowdown]

Damn I hope he just couldn't make up his mind. His jumping ability should all be intact, right?

[Andrew]

Most likely. As long as it's set properly, a broken bone will heal properly, sometimes even stronger than before. In contrast, that's not the case with injuries to soft tissue (such as tendons and ligaments).

[NovU]

Impressive return game by Paul George. All that in limited minutes, certainly he's not going to be Danny Granger.

As for the Heat, I am just in shock...

[Tha2KProphet]

At Least He Healed Quicker Then Everyone Expected

[Andrew]

Was it quicker than expected? I was under the impression that he was more or less on schedule, though there was speculation as to whether or not he'd sit out the season as a precaution. With the Pacers in a position to make a run at the eighth seed, I guess he wasn't about to do that.

Season Almost Over Might As Well Get His Feet Wet In Some New Water.

Pelicans beat Warriors, currently hold the 8th spot.

Westbrook's triple-doubles are going to be forgotten sooner than Linsanity if they don't make the Playoffs.

[[Q]]

Looks like he's feeding his family just fine with those courtside seats

[benji]

He sold them for the seats.

This is what it looks like when you get your ankle broken or you get crossed up etc. Not stepping on another player's foot or getting tripped on a screen.

It looks like Sacre kinda pushed him though...

[Andrew]

Yeah, it looks like there might have been a little bump there.

It's going back some years obviously, but I think Allen Iverson had a textbook example on Antonio Daniels:
