Nyk33 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Yesterday one player in a Euroleague game had a camera on his jersey. Do you guys think this would ever happen in the NBA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I could maybe see it happening in a future all star game, but I doubt we'll ever see that in a 'real' game 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think San Antonio and Golden State are the clear favorites, but I wouldn't be surprised to Memphis figure out how to play basketball again.Not so sure about Houston, Portland, or LA, but that's kind of the fun of this year's playoffs -- you really don't know. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll likely face the Atlanta/Cleveland inevitable winner out of the East. I don't think the Spurs will get there, last year was the first time they ever made back-to-back Finals, and the team is older, they may not have it in them again.

DaRadniz29 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Warriors (64-15) hosts the Timberwolves (16-63) tonight. Thoughts on the game tonight, with the Warriors going for their sixteenth consecutive home win, and 37th home win of the season. - How long do the T'Wolves hang with Golden State? - How long Do the starters play? - Do the Warriors clip Denver's 186 mark? How the long the Wolves hang with the Warriors depends on how long the Warriors starters plays, but it could be a long night for Minnesota. If the Warriors starters play the whole game they'll have a chance at the 186 mark, but if the make it to and/or past 186, I'm gonna go buy me 100 lottery tickets.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Either way, I don't see a Spurs title as being bad for the league. I think success is measured differently in the NBA, due to individual players having so much more impact on their teams than in other sports. It's why since, really, NBA Russell/Chamberlain, legacies aren't measured solely by stats or great play, but by championships.Baseball has its stats, and the crest of football is generally winning a single Super Bowl, while in the NBA it's not if but how many. It's why Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley will always be second-fiddle to Hakeem Olajuwan and Dirk Nowitzki. And why those two aren't as esteemed as Shaq and Tim Duncan.The NBA went from Lakers to Celtics to Lakers to Bulls to Lakers again to a combo of Spurs/Lakers/Heat/others, and I think it's cool to watch that story be told. So I'm totally on-board for title six for the Spurs, or title three for LeBron. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Noire Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Was finally able to catch a Clippers game last night and it was a big one. They had a big lead over Memphis in the third and almost gave it all back early in the fourth because they couldn't hit a shot to save their lives. Thankfully they pulled out the win and jumped up to second place in the west with two games left.It's going to be interesting these next couple of days because there are like five teams going for that spot. I'm hoping LA can finish strong going into the playoffs because they looked Way out of rhythm in that second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS729 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Anyone remember that guy who thought the Hornacats were going to be the first seed in the East? He really shouldn't have set his expectations too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C's Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The Knicks won at Atlanta, blowing the top spot in the lottery Not that it really matters, since are no clear cut #1 guys in this draft and NY's roster is absolutely barren.Speaking of Atlanta, I can't help but laugh at how they have the 2nd best record and the league and they're going to be able to steal a possible lottery pick from Brooklyn (maybe late teens). And then Brooklyn owes my Celtics like 3 more unprotected picks after that, AND their fast building project completely failed and now they're headed back down to the conference cellar. That's definitely on par with anything Isiah did with the Knicks, maybe worse. Hopefully the Prokhorov-selling-the-team saga drags out long enough to where the Nets can't do :censored: before 2018.

C's Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It's also remarkable that the Celtics clinched a playoff spot despite being projected as a bottom-feeder coming into the season and spending most of the year as sellers, not buyers. Even if we get waxed by Cleveland, the playoff experience for Smart, Crowder et al will still be valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then Brooklyn owes my Celtics like 3 more unprotected picks after that. That's Billy King for ya. He did the same crap with the Sixers. Other than their 2nd-round pick this year, I don't think they own any of their own picks again until 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The 9th spot is the perfect place to blow a pick without scrutiny/the eventual Frank Kaminsky pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS729 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The Celtics are in a nice spot for Kaminsky as well, although they already have a lot of young big men (Zeller, Sullinger, and Olynyk) he'd make a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
