I think Thunder vs Heat would be more interesting than Spurs vs Heat.

yes more interesting but with the injury to Ibaka i don't see the thunder beating the spurs

Idk. Miami pretty much owns OKC. It'd be a short series. Spurs will give em more trouble

So everyone agree Heat vs Spurs in the Finals

I had a dream last night that I was in the NBA. Felt cool

Until you get to the part where you hit the showers.

I think the Pacers are about to prove a point tonight. They own the Heat.

Why does the NBA keep fixing things for Cleveland?

This. :y:

<font color=goldenrod>The NBA isn't even trying to hide that the lottery is fixed at this point.</font>

Bill Simmons is pissed.

I don't actually believe in fixes, but this is really weird. They had a 1.7% chance if winning the lottery... That's insane.

I don't feel bad about Lebron leaving anymore. Am I alone in this? Does the NBA still fed bad?

Maybe the NBA wants Lebron to come back to Cleveland so they are trying to "stockpile" the team?

I don't see why they would care though about Lebron going back to Cleveland. So I don't know.

:lol: NBA. Might top the 2008 Lottery in terms of getting a rigged result.

:-\ Cs lost 1 spot (were #5 pick going in, now #6 pick)

Pistons ended up getting screwed the most because the Cavs moved up too much.

Parker or Wiggins will probably be on the board at 3. So I'm not distraught right now.

I think they go 1 and 2 actually

Yea 3/4 years getting the top pick. Pretty damn fishy.

Embiid is getting a lot of play at 1 and 2.

That was very sweet of the NBA to give the Cavs a do-over from last year.

Essentially what happened in the lottery was, Cavs shot up to number 1, everyone else dropped one projected spot, but otherwise they were where they were projected to be, standings wise.

Just happy someone that was not tanking received the number 1 spot.

you should really check that title. I think that the pacers actually own jack shit.

So incompentence should be rewarded?

I wont defend my posts.

I'll be what Gotham needs me to be.

haha, finished with a little showboat! 14-4 run to finish the night? Point Proved...

what happend to Stephenson. Hope it's not serious.

Fuck sakes. My Jazz just can't get a break

So great two game stretch for Indy. I dont know how they can keep up their pace for shooting 3's. Theyve been deadly.

Paul George has a concussion. He may not be ready This weekend. So Game 3 has a built in excuse for Indiana.

So the lottery was this week, when is the draft? For some reason I thought they were within days of each other.

It's a couple days after the finals isn't it? That way they have the last few picks settled.

That makes sense. I guess I didn't think they gave teams that much time to strategize over it.

I don't know. Reggie Miller. Jason Kidd.

Hello guys, there's a Basketball contest on tonight. IT's pretty good. I mean, I know that there are a majority of you guys who like to wait until the Heat lose to come out of hiding to talk shit...but COME ON!!!!

Well, hopefully there is some non heat related news so you guys will come back...

Spurs Big 3 now have the most playoff wins for a trio, which is neat.

That's the extent of my basketball discussing for the moment.

Heat are playing in Game 4 against the Pacers tonight. It seems as if the bandwagon of Heat haters have decided to boycott the thread. Perhaps the Heat will lose tonight, and bring you guys back in here.

PS: I don't really hope for that. I could care less. This thread has been 7 months of hoping that some team would step to the plate and dethrone the champs. I savor the butthurt that is oozing out of your pores in your silent reading and active non posting in this thread.

That is neat. The Spurs are so successful, it's ridiculous. I was watching them last night and was wondering how in the bloody hell they are always playing this late in the season... I'm a HUGE fan of Greg Popovich. I honestly think he is the best coach in the history of the NBA, Bar none.

20 points...nobody front runs like the fighting Lebrons!

Wow, Serge Ibaka is the best player on the Thunder...

So Donald Sterling [allegedly] was ready to hand over the Clippers to his wife so she could negotiate a sale. Now he is going to fight the league's "illegal actions."

hmmmm

Russell Westbrook was amazing last night. Serge Ibaka, and Westbrook have saved Scott Brooks' job.
