NBA 2013-2014 Season Thread

If the Spurs have only missed five shots, how does Tiago Splitter have 1 offensive board and the heat have 6 defensive rebounds?! 7 rebounds of five misses :S

[Benjamin]

It's reverse psychology!

[Cole]

Heat are still going to win, though.

I'd have to disagree tonight, they came out way too flat. They will make it an interesting game but it's gonna be a wash from here in my mind, too many points to overcome against the Spurs. Heat will take game four to continue the zig-zag.

[Benjamin]

Shush guys, I'm keeping my optimism at the lowest possible level.

[Benjamin]

... And this is why

And the third quarter is usually our strongest quarter, too.

[Krone]

Ray Allen is that dude. I swear I just watch him jog down the court and bury threes like it's 2004. I love it.

With that being said though, it's about time Leonard showed us what he was capable of. I hope to see the Spurs hold on and make things more interesting than Miami (who I believe is undefeated at home this post season?) going up 3-1 quickly on SA. This is their game to take.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, they're undefeated at home. Spurs have dropped two home games.

And that was Diaw's best pass so far

Spurs weren't gonna blow this lead, 25 is too much for a team with shallow depth to overcome.

That said. THREE MINUTES LEFT WHAT ARE YOU ASSHATS DOING LEAVING? Worst sports city in America.

They left before the Heat's big come back in game 6 last year. Then tried to come back in during overtime. Miami fans really don't deserve the team they've lucked in to.

And it's pretty funny watching those kids go apeshit over a guy they weren't alive to see play in any fashion. It's a real testament to Jordan's celebrity.

[Benjamin]

Seriously, it's amazing they're undefeated at home, because their fans suck.

Kids at the schools I sub all know him either through sneakers, Space Jam (which EVERYONE still watches), or being basketball fans.

[Benjamin]

I'm pretty sure there's some statistic that shows he's the most recognizable athlete in America, right? Heck, it might be the world.

[Krone]

Yeah I could see that. If not MJ at #1, I could see some soccer athlete as that's the only other sport I would consider as widely popular (actually more popular) that basketball.

A few years ago I remember reading in school that Tiger Woods was the most recognized athlete in the world but that might have been for active athletes. David Beckham would probably be more internationally famous than Jordan though, basically for the same reasons Jordan is so well known (minus being the GOAT).

[Benjamin]

Forbes says it's Federer now, but that's among active athletes. I think it's probably Pele or MJ of all time, though, right?

This reminds me, I watched Space Jam again last year for the first time in years and it was terrible. It didn't hold up at all outside of Bill Murray. And this is coming from someone who watched it so much they broke the VHS as a child.

You shut your dirty whore mouth!

[Plubby]

It is widely acknowledged that HeadCheese is among the worst of sports fans. The clue is in the name

[gunnar hendershow]

Hopefully c-heat brings out the ban hammer for that.

[Maxx]

And he wonders why people hate him!
