It's on hoopites

Pour one out for Bledsoe Morrises and the Dragon

The Washington Wizards and the Charlotte Bobcats are in the playoffs, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are not.

will change next year when lebron returns imo

I think Big Al will probably get some semitroll MVP votes

man, fuck the Clippers

Not watched tonight. What did they do so I can hate them more?

griffin smacked mozgov across the face after the whistle

just checked it, but blake is ALWAYS the victim!

1st round, leastern conference:
(1) IND v. (8) ATL
(2) MIA v. (7) CHA
(3) TOR v. (6) BKN
(4) CHI v. (5) WAS

i'm mildly intrigued by those bottom two match ups

i think washington will beat chicago

That NY Post story from last October is p funny, especially now that the Knicks have finished with 37 wins. And they had to win their final game to get there. :D

had to win their final game their final 4 games to get there

wish I could retweet this

kind of a lame NBA season :/

too many tanks

yeah, next season will be a lot more fun because teams like the celtics, sixers and magic will be loaded with young talent so if they're bad it will be fun to watch.

too many tanks

― smooth hymnal (m bison), Thursday, April 17, 2014

never seen a season with so much tanking; we've had season-long tanks and playoff-seeding motivated tanks.

the nets tanked their last two games just so they could fall into the heat's bracket!

for which i am quite grateful tbh, the notion that miami could fall to nets or indy is just making my heart race

oh, you. don't be so gleeful.

yeah this season sucked

the west had some really good games but overall kind of a down year. Was fun watching all the Suns games tho.

okay duders

(1) IND v. (8) ATL
(2) MIA v. (7) CHA
(3) TOR v. (6) BKN
(4) CHI v. (5) WAS

(1) SAS v. (8) DAL

Chicago in 6

Spurs in 4

LET'S PREDICT ROUND ONE:

IND v ATL — Pacers in 6
MIA v CHA — Heat in 5 wade plays 2 games
TOR v BKN — Nets in 7
CHI v WAS — Bulls in 6

SAS v DAL — Spurs in 5 one game of pure dirkin
OKC v MEM — Thunder in 6
LAC v GSW — WARRIORS IN 4
HOU v POR — Rockets in 7 all games come down to a buzzer beater

for reg season series #'s: http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/matchups

I was soooo looking forward to west round one since like December, but lack of Phoenix and the top two seeds likely to crush 7 and 8, plus the lack of bogut has really brought it all down to earth.

otm

I am going to watch a shit ton of basketball this weekend regardless

*for the next couple months

Wouldn't bet it but based on reg season matchups, totally conceivable that:
Nets > Heat
Bulls > Pacers

What are the big injuries right now besides Bogut? Marc is fine, right? Kinda want to pick a Griz upset so Brooks gets fired.

feel like that wd be best for everyones sake

we all seem to be in general agreement about every series except portland vs houston?

kevin & lagoon like the raptors
i like the wizards
kevin, cad & lagoon like the blazers
dayo likes the warriors

I almost chose the Raptors... they looked good from the games my friend the Canadian and I watched

Valanciunas is a beast

i seriously haven't seen the raptors play at all this year so i have hard time mentally getting over the hurdle that they're not just the raptors, despite all smart NBA people assuring us that they are indeed a dangerous team

tbh i just picked portland so id have an upset in there

raptors have v good ball movement which i feel is a good predictor of playoff success

idk they really need to do something about how george hill is supposed to run their offense

yeah i guess apart from being first seed and making it to game six of the ecf its been a pretty bad season

this is not really the time to be reductive, they obv did not set out to be the most schizophrenic team ever.

i guess daniel just got 8 months of crushing anxiety off his chest, congrats bro

I'm just glad we are done seeing espn's "sad roy hibbert" graphic next to a list of his scoreless games

i would bring the band back, maybe try and look at moving hill, but the starting line up has been killer for three years running.

i guess i'd take one more whack at cobbling together a real bench

the pacers just have really minimal flexibility, i think they're locked into his team... they could make the finals next year or get bounced in round 2 but I think you take that gamble

i don't see what the alternate road is

they need a true point gawd bad

if they could move hill they have watson right there but i dunno who's taking 3/24 of george hill without sticking the pacers with some garbage

They have to keep Hibbert, or they'd be following the classic buy high, sell low strategy.

wow PG is kind of a brat https://twitter.com/bytimreynolds/status/472588889077862400

that quote is o__________O

pacers are sad https://twitter.com/bytimreynolds/status/472589436438740992

that pg quote is totally insane, don't think i've ever seen anything like that before

I'm just honest

if you sign both george hill and roy hibbert it really limits you to a certain style of ball

being the best defensive team in the league is a really hard thing to maintain year after year indy needs more O

ha yeah its easy to miss what a baby pg is cause hes so boring

this whole season, all the bullshit about indiana has had paul george at the center of it in some way. if i were them, i would entertain PG trade offers.

CRAZY TRADE IDEA WHAT IF
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=neb88zx

Whoa I would do it!

Then flip Roy for pieces & a draft pick or see what you can get for a decent 3 for him, I think Roy is incredibly tradeable bc every gm and coach will think they can get him back to his peak (which they probably can, he might be the ultimate needs a change of scenery guy)

Then you can roll out Rubio-lance-3 tba-west-love, worse defensively but way way way more dynamic offensively

Twolves get Paul George to try to build around I guess prob better than losing love for nothin and maybe you could flip turner into a second round pick or something

west and love can't play together imo

love/hibbert would be a great combo but they'd almost certainly have to flip PG

but they could do that

PG goes to minny in that trade

Refs have been a touch generous to OKC and kind of swallowed the whit less for spurs this half

Not too much more than usual home cookin but it's a little noticeable whenever Russ drives vs any spur driving

I thought this game was tomorrow for some dumb reason ugh

party mills is hella smart on the floor, so fun to watch.

end of the third spurs ballin hard / Danny green four pt play alert / ball movement of the gods these spurs

http://abload.de/img/untitled-2msu3t.gif

yes exactly that

wow spurs are getting hosed

GINOBILIIIIIIII

durant just straight falling over is the based god curse

this is v tense

okc played terribly down the stretch, deserving loss

http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Lil-B-Basegod.jpg

congrats m bise! the better team won.

So, Spurs vs Heat. We'll need a new thread for that one.

i watched this game at a restaurant with my wife's friend's teenaged son and we fucking owned that fucking restaurant

FUCK THA WORLD SPURS RULE 4EVA

boris diaw should have his own holiday. i am basically amazed every time he makes a good basketball play.

He'd definitely start at 4 on my all-flashy-passing NBA team

Rondo
Ginobili
Iguodala
Diaw
M Gasol

No joke this play gave me chills of witnessing team hoop perfection, had to rewind like five times

They also ran a variation with mills diving under the basket and the direction of the last two passes flipped that worked almost as perfectly and I think got Danny green the four point play

I thought pop almost blew it going with that Diaw & 4 smalls lineup just a few minutes too long and not bringing Timmy back in but it all worked out

The Boris reclamation project continues to amaze me though I thought for sure he was on his way out of the league when he was trapped on that all time bad bobcats team

Spurs ball movement is almost pinball-like.

Xp He sucked at the end of his suns run too. Was a very frustrating player.

Pacers gross me out a little tbh. They come off as dudes who spend all their time watching porn.

THE GLAZED DONUT FACE-OFF -- spurs! heat! it's the NBA finals 2014, where little fatasses happen

lol hurting, how did you come to that conclusion
