i think the cavs are up 2 games to nothing

Clefsong51 05-24-2017 12:33 PM

Actually it's three to one[Cavs].

debaserr 05-25-2017 08:27 PM

Actually 4-1 (Cavs)

At least it will be in an hour.

Clefsong51 05-30-2017 09:57 AM

Well,it's on for the third time-Cavs-Warriors..Warriors in seven,who do you like?

If you told 13 year old me that I would be rooting for the celtics in the 2017 nba season I would have shot myself in the fave to prevent it. However, I have officially jumped ship and decided I will follow kyrie to the ends of this (flat) earth

Clefsong51 10-10-2017 12:56 PM

The Wizards are good,but Bradley Beal telling folks that they are the best in the East????what is he smoking,hey Bradley.there are two teams you have to leaf frog...Cavs-Celtics.

Not Dallas Mavericks legend Chandler Parsons?

And why the Hawks? They are destined to be garbage tier.

the rookie Trae young, seems good. and just better than lonzo ball.

debaserr 07-14-2018 12:20 PM

Eh. I don't have high hopes for him. He's going to jack up tons of shots on mediocre efficiency and ensure that team stays in the lottery.

And if you think Lonzo was the best rookie last year I got news... Check out some film on Jayson Tatum or Ben Simmons or Donovan Mitchell.

debaserr 07-14-2018 12:22 PM

I'm excited to see how Luka Doncic performs for Dallas. I think that was an awesome trade for them if he turns out to be one of / the top dude in this draft.

Guy won MVP, FMVP, and a Championship in Euroleague last year, 2nd best league in the world, at 19. And was in that league since 16 I think.

going to be interesting watching Lebron play for the Lakers, wonder how good theyll be?

debaserr 08-26-2018 01:25 PM

I agree, the team around him is all young guys and veteran misfits.

I expect a number of them to step up and have huge years.

But contending with the Warriors? I doubt this year. They will certainly make the playoffs, but they probably need to have a round of trades and free agents to get some more talent.

Zach Lowe's 2018-19 NBA League Pass Rankings, Part 2

Quote:

15. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

(A) This will be the millionth consecutive year they preach diversifying the offense, and the millionth consecutive year in which they run one of the league's three most predictable offenses.
This makes me sad. They are wasting Westbrooks whole career. Just like they wasted Durant and Westbrook and Harden playing together...

Metal! 10-12-2018 10:34 PM

Finals will be Celtics vs Warriors

Metal! 10-16-2018 10:58 AM

NBA season starts tonight!

debaserr 10-16-2018 01:18 PM

Yes! It's a shame the much hyped OKC / GSW matchup is a dud thanks to Westbrook, Roberson and possibly Adams being out.

Clefsong51 01-06-2019 09:39 PM

How's this for parity..The Wizards beat The Thunder for the first time ever in-OKC..even a blind dog finds a bone now an then-go Wiz!!

Props on the Sophie avatar (that album is the jam)

Did anybody else watch the bucks and rockets last night?

Greek Freak is the head bussa!

debaserr 01-10-2019 04:43 PM

Thanks, I'm still obsessed with it.

No, but I saw that highlight (https://streamable.com/iaw0n) . I could watch Harden take balls to the face all day. Dude is the most boring superstar to watch ever, he's constantly drawing BS fouls.

Giannis is gonna be MVP probably. Bud for COTY too probably.

Rockets look like they are on the upturn since jettisoning Melo, but I doubt they will have as much success in the playoffs as last year (took GSW to 7 in Conference Finals).

CP3 is just always getting injured and teams will be able to gameplan around stopping Harden in a long series. They have very little balance. It's too easy to stop one guy.

He took the Hawks to the Eastern Finals. Sigh.

Are those retro jerseys? The Hawks look stupid af

Thanks for the vid though

The Hawks just ****ing piss me off

**** those announcers acting like the Hawks are supposed to rollover at home just because it’s LeBron

Mindfulness 02-13-2019 07:20 AM

yeah idk why they went with the blue. that rookie on the hawks is good. plus i didnt know vince carter played on the hawks now

debaserr 02-13-2019 10:10 AM

I'll take Doncic. He's already a top 20-30 player in the league I'd say.

Lakers fans are in for a tough stretch I'd say. Not that it hasn't been tough... they have the worst record for the past 6 years combined pretty sure, below even the Magic / Suns / Knicks.

I thought Magic was a fairly well known commodity at this point too, his coaching stint was atrocious and his takes on TV were just as bad.

The ownership is really what put them in this place. They could have had Jerry ****ing West and went for Magic. Jeanie must still have a crush or something.

The Bucks are trying to rest up as much as possible and keep that 1 spot for the playoffs

Literally the last thing they want is an OT loss to Atlanta

The way they broke up our team after we reached the Eastern Finals

I was probably 6 years old when I went to my first Hawks game and the backslide in the last 5 years is the most disappointing era in the last 45 years. It reaches a point where if they’re not going to sincerely try to put together a championship team then I’m not trying too hard to be a fan. The front office has been shameful.

Two exciting Elite 8 games (especially if you like time outs and fouls)

I downloaded the app today just gotta remember to cancel it before trial runs out and I can watch the Final 4 and the Final on my phone

That was a great clip though. Thanks

debaserr 03-31-2019 05:50 PM

Trae had 16 assists and ONE turnover. Very impressive.

His history really reminds me of Steph. They both put up godly numbers in college and were underrated on draft boards.

I still think Doncic will be better, but he is going to be a star.

Bummed that Zion got knocked out, that kid is so special. Definitely the most intriguing prospect in a while.

Russ with the 20-21a-20r game tonight.

For real when they blew up that team it was like WTF! Pops could take those three to 7 rings I bet. Best basketball coach of the modern era imo.
