NBA 2013-2014 Season Thread

[DMN in the House]

Fuck...now the Clippers will stay good.

[Rafael]

Let's just talk about the Charlotte Hornets with Kemba Walker, Al Jefferson and Shabazz Napier.

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Let's talk about the Knicks and how they're going to hire Steve Kerr as their new Head Coach.

And how Melo will probably leave anyway to join the Bulls.

[Meacon Keaton]

Melo may as well leave. We need to just start all over. :/

[Benjamin]

Man, this Memphis / OKC game is cracking. I'm so entertained.

Also, Bulls :'(

[Meacon Keaton]

Bulls put up a whompin' 69 points tonight...

[Lint]

I don't watch much basketball...in fact I barely follow it unless the 76ers make the playoffs (lol...), but 69 in the whole game? Wow...

[Tyrone]

Another overtime.

[gunnar hendershow]

And they managed that against the Wizards defense which really hasn't been that good all year.

Also, WIZARDS!!!!!! Gonna have to get tickets to a round 2 game for sure.

And the Westbrook play to tie the game was great, Durant's sort of vanished and Russell has stepped up tonight.

[Tyrone]

Ugh. Couldn't Crawford have waited until KD had shot his free throw? Killed his momentum.

EDIT: Crazy finish with the Ibaka buzzer beater not counting.

[gunnar hendershow]

Scott Brooks should pack up his office before heading to Memphis.

And damn OKC, stop doing funny stuff with the scoreboard. You deserve to have Durant interrupted pulling bush league shit like that.

[Plubby]

Ice-the-kick-er! (clap clap clap-clap-clap)

[Monkey D. Lars]

Well, if the Grizzlies eliminate OKC, I will be cheering for them.

[HC]

Man, this Memphis/OKC series is fucking legendary, regardless of the result. That is some competitive basketball.

[Toe]

I think Silver and the NBA got this right. I just hope the NBA has the legal right to force out Sterling and that this doesn't get bogged down in court.

Oh it will. It'll get bogged down in court for YEARS. If Sterling dies, his wife will take up the case because she'd stand to inherit the team I'm suppose

[Krone]

Can't believe the Grizz are not just in a position to take out OKC, but at home none the less.

I'm very excited for game 6 between Golden State and LAC. That series has been just as good as any other (despite the off court problems) and I can't wait to see how Golden State does in a do or die game at Oracle.

Also, who would've thought that we'd be in a position to see either the Hawks or Wizards in the Eastern Conference Finals? Atlanta still has to put the final nail in the coffin, but Indiana looks all but done for. They've been sliding for the past month and a half. Personally I would like to see the Wizards/Heat although there's no doubt in my mind Miami will kill them. I do think Washington has a sneaky good team though. Wall, Nene, Beal, and Al Harington are all quality players. Throw in Ariza, Andre Miller, Drew Gooden, and Gortat to fill in the roles and that's not a bad line up. Only problem is Miller, Harrington, Nene, and Gooden are all old as hell. No way Andre Miller sticks around for another year after this.

[Quom]

I hope GSW get slaughtered and Mark Jackson gets fired.

[Benjamin]

I am praying for Brooklyn to get their act together. They're the only team I see beating Miami. I doubt Toronto has a shot. Atlanta is probably the second closest to having a chance against LeBron and co, I don't think Indiana have the mental toughness these playoffs to, even if they manage to pull through against the Hawks. I think Wizards' defense would be blastered through and Miami will slaughter them, if it's Miami / Washington.

Man, comparing this year's and last year's playoff trees, and the East just looks completely different. Amazing.

[Szumi]

I'm honestly not surprised by the results of the OKC/Grizz series. I was telling my roommate how happy I was that we were able to get OKC in the first round because this is the team we match up on the best. I've been calling us to win this series from the get-go. Tony Allen is able to defend well on KD, OKC lacks depth to make a difference off the bench (Although Jackson's done really well at times), and I was confident Gasol and Randolph would do better than Ibaka and Perkins. I can't see Memphis doing well in the next round, but I'll take this series with joy.
