2013-2014 NBA Season Thread: LET'S GO SPURDS!

[Dimmauk]

Go Wiz! I actually picked them to make the playoffs, and right now they look like they can hang with anyone right now.

I wanted the Bulls to draft Beal so badly, but he was gone way before the Bulls had a pick that year.

[notorious bum]

lol Pacers need to just leave early and get some sleep. Lazy on the boards. Wish Atlanta didn't choke so hard.

[Moss]

Their starting 5 is very strong. No superstar but Wall, Beal, and Nene can all create and Ariza and Gortat are solid on both ends.

Then you have Andre Miller and Drew Gooden on the bench, along with some other people I don't know of because this is the 2nd Wiz game I have seen all year.

That young Daniel Tosh and Kevin Durant commercial is weird

It was all those 3's that screwed them. How do you shoot 44 3's in a game??

Missing the 3's is what screwed us. They were clogging the paint and we don't have any creators on offense aside from Teague and Millsap.

Actually it was split about 50-50 for the first round

Maybe here, only one ESPN "expert" had Portland winning, though.

Yeah I looked at USA Today I think and it was split. Anyway, Portland definitely an underdog this round,

omg, clips giving okc the deep dick, good lawd

This is just ruthless

This is just ruthless

not a ruth to be found anywhere

[kisada]

my biggest worry was whether cp3 was healthy enough to show up for the series. guess it's not a worry so much anymore.

[Moss]

if you think about it, we didn't really learn much from Game 1. Obviously if CP3 starts 8/8 from 3pt range then the Clippers will probably win.

[kisada]

i think game 2 will definitely be a better indicator of how the series will go. that said, the clippers front-court was below average so we'll see how it plays out if they come out strong.

[Moss]

Griffin was ok. Golden State without Bogut was just so light on post defenders. OKC has Perkins, Collison, and Adams all available as solid post defenders.

What I'm trying to say is I don't expect Griffin to shred OKC the way he did David Lee and GS

They do every year...

Durant named MVP

Mark Jackson fired

[Skai]

Mark Jackson fired

Mark Jackson did great things for the Warriors and turned things around for the franchise in terms of defense (top 3 defensive team, best in the west). While he's a great motivator that can make his players run through a wall for him, I can't help but wonder if another coach can bring the Dubs to a higher level offensively. Dropping home games to weak teams didn't help his cause and the stagnant offense was awful to watch. Dude was also pretty stubborn too.

I have faith in management we'll be able to find an upgrade.

Anyway, word is Mark clashing with the management was reason why he was let go.

[Buffy]

So similar. I had forgotten. This was linked in the Zach Harper article today.
