2010-11 NBA Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
First time checking out this forum and was happy to see an active NBA thread. I'm going to post my 2 cents now.

FUCK YEA MEMPHIS! It's just too bad they got paired up with OKC for 2nd round because I like both teams. I think I'm going to root for Memphis though because my dick got too hard for Randolph watching him beat the Spurs.

As for the east, I was pissed with how the Celtics Knicks series turned out. The second game was fucking depressing after watching Carmelo's performance go to waste. With two of their main men injured they basically gave up. Now I'm just excited watching Miami walk over the old men that make up Boston's starters. All my friends are Celtics fans for some reason so they're forced to take my shit now.
 
Andrew Bynum vented for six minutes in front of his locker after the Lakers' 93-81 loss to the Mavericks and said the team has plenty of work to do off the court to dig itself out of the hole it is currently in.

"It's deeply rooted at this point," Bynum said of the team's problems. "It's obvious we have trust issues. Unless we come out and discuss it, then nothing is going to really change. We have to come in and have a good session [Thursday], which I believe we will, and correct things. If not, we'll go home."

Bynum's "trust issues" stem from his teammates' inability to communicate with one another on the court and help each other out defensively. Bynum was often seen yelling and signaling to his teammates to talk during the game.

"I think it's quite obvious for anyone who is watching the games," Bynum said. "There's hesitation on passes, defensively not being there for your teammate because he wasn't there for you before, stuff like that."

Now Serious, will you please get off your high horse, stop making excuses, and give a smidgen of respect to Dallas? They have simply out played your team. Almost every post you make is completely bias and dismissive to almost everything everyone else has posted. This is a different Mavericks. They have swagger. They have defense.

You said this is the best Lakers team possibly ever? Simply absurd. Refs called a fair game again. Pau had a better game like you said he needed, but the Dallas defense and Dirk were able to get him into foul trouble so he can't play as aggressively. Bynum has had a great game like you said he needed. Odom has been ok. Kobe has been ok. What is there to point to other than Dallas being a different type of team. Tough, defensive minded, and unflappable. Oh, and did I mention Dirk? Great. Clutch. Unguardable.

Go Mavs?

I still think we beat ourselves more than Dallas beat us. They're good, but not THAT good.

Dallas fought hard and wanted it more, I'll give them that. Their defense isn't that great, all they did was pack the paint in this game.. we were just missing WIDE OPEN shots and free throws and our bigs weren't aggressive, esp Pau. Dallas will continue with that same defense, but we're not ever going to shoot like that in a game anymore. ever. Just gotta hit shots and that will open up everything else. It's that simple.


We're a better road team this year. 2-2 coming back to LA, book it.
 
Mavericks in 7.
OKC in 6.
Chicago in 6.
Heat in 5.

My predictions, nothing groundbreaking.

The last Lakers game was the most beautiful thing ever. God, every single fan booing. LA fans are perhaps the most ungrateful and jaded in the nation.

I don't know man, Yankee fans might have something to say about that.

Mavs in 6
OKC in 6
Heat in 6
Bulls in 7

Ron Artest needs to be suspended for a long time. 20 games or something. This is atleast the 6th time (that I even remember) he has done something extraordinarily disrespectful to the game and to his peers. He is such a bullshit insane Bill Romanowski impersonator. I feel a Mavericks-Heat finals to be honest. That would be so sweet.

I'm usually the first to disagree with our homie here, but I believe everything that this man has stated here

welcome to S and G :) I see you posting a lot. you should stick around, if not only for your NBA sage-like wisdom

there is a true changing of the guard during our current Playoffs, and while this may leave some old-school b-ball fans salty (San Antonio, Boston, and LA perhaps) - it is ten fold more interesting for a spectating fan (who has no true team in contention) to spectate!

beautiful? hardly, in my opinion. if I wanted to see the usage of such a technicianed and boring offense, I would watch college basketball

GTFO Spurs, ya'll got seriously outplayed in that first round

Honestly, there is nothing worse than seeing 4 guys floating around the far side of the net with an iso dribble out for 15 seconds on the other side. If that's the non-technicianed offense you enjoy, I'd stick to the street ball ;)

Effective passing, proper picks, and running actual plays are all surprisingly underrated! I can't believe that can be said when talking about professional basketball.
 
You gotta be fucking kidding me... damn Mediterraneans and their emotions.


http://cdn.mediatakeout.com/48386/l...mate____for_breaking_up_his_relationship.html

May 06, 2011. NBA fans around the world have been wondering what is wrong with NBA star Pau Gasol. Throughout the playoffs Pau's game seems to be off.

Well according to a MediaTakeOut.com snitch - it's because Pau and his LONGTIME GIRLFRIEND and FIANCE Sylvia broke up . . . and he blames a TEAMMATE for him getting DUMPED!

The insider, who is affiliated with the Lakers, told MediaTakeOut.com that Pau's girlfriend SYLVIA and a teammates wife (who will remain nameless) became good friends. And two weeks ago Pau was ROCKED by news that his girlfriend/fiance DUMPED HIM.

The snitch told MediaTakeOut.com, "Pau thinks that [TEAMMATES] wife was behind it. Sylvia didn't have many friends and he's convinced that [wife] either is behind it, or could have talked Sylvia out of it." And word is that when Pau's TEAMMATE [the husband] tried to talk to Pau about it, the two got into an ARGUMENT - with each saying some very RECKLESS THINGS about each others LADIES.

So now Pau and THIS teammate are no longer speaking to each other. And their ON COURT chemistry is definitely off.

Pau . . . bruh . . . stop acting like a B*TCH and MAN UP. Shoot, if he don't turn things around quick . . . . the Lakers are gonna LOSE!!
 
^of course I did. That is the bulls I've been used to watching all season (not the 44 points, but lock-down team defense). If they can play like THAT - whether rose drops obscene point totals or not - they can go far.

If they continue playing mediocre defense and relying on rose to carry them while he's averaging 37% from the field (as he has been before tonight), their season won't last much longer.
 
Our bigs are getting mauled in the paint, no calls. Chandalier is getting ticky tack fouls and flopping all over the place. Awesome.

I've never seen Phil Jackson like this, ever. Paula is just letting everyone down.
 
Lack of ball movement killed us in the end. Fish can't even inbound anymore. It is amazing how terrible our coaching staff is. We can't adjust defensively against a freakin JUMP SHOOTING team. Fire these fools, and it's time to rebuild our bench and make a few moves with our starting lineup.

Props to the Mavs though, they wanted it more. It was a great run, just sad seeing it end like this.
 
The Lakeshow is done.

No more excuses Laker fans....the regular season didnt lie that this team was not the championship contender they have been in the recent past. Dallas didnt win by a fluke, they won by beating the Lakers now 3 times in a row now. The Mavs are just the better team. The Lakers had a good run but now it is someone else's turn to hoist the trophy.
 
Feel yur pain bro. Props to the mavs. Just really wanted to see Phil get his 12th and Kobe tie mj. LA was capable of coming back from 0-2 but no one comes back from 0-3, that's miracle shit right there. Props to the mavs Tyson chandler changed that team defensively and will give dirk the long awaited second chance he deserves.

So much of basketball history changed with this game it's crazy
 
Happy for Dirk but I can't see the Mavs making it out of the WCF. They are still a jump shooting team and the more athletic teams will be able to shut them down.
 
The Mavs are averaging 44 points in the paint per game during this playoff run. That isn't jump shooting. They have so turned the lakers into a jump shooting team. Kobe has been settling for 17 footers even. That is all defense. The Mavericks aren't soft. They aren't settling. Dirk deserves a ring, and he has a good chance at getting it this year. All the Lakers fans compliments are coming with snide remarks and terms. The Mavs are simply better. Why can't you just give them props and leave it at that?

No team in the West can match up with Dallas. Miami or Chicago could, but that would be in the finals if they get there. If we can slow Kobe and Gasol this much, what tandem in the NBA can't the Mavs impede?

LeBron and D'Wade. I just don't see anyone on your team that can even hope to contain those two.

I'll definitely be rooting for you guys if those two teams meet in the Finals, though. Believe it or not, I'm a huge Dirk fan and I think he and Kidd deserve their rings.
 
Wow.

"Sunday could be Jackson’s final game as he’s expected to retire after this season. He said Bryant told him Friday morning that the Lakers’ situation is a fitting challenge in a potentially final run. Jackson responded by saying it’s a team problem that the players – not him – have to figure out."



So glad he's leaving. It's clear that he doesn't care about coaching/winning anymore. Just wants to get his paycheck and bounce.
