Hey, it's Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant. You can never count those two out. I think they wont do it, but it won't surprise me in the least if they get their second threepeat.

Spurs should win game 4 tonight, but I think Memphis will take the series. Imagine if they had Rudy Gay...

And I could easily see the Grizzlies beating OKC in 6 games. If anyone can bang and grind with Perkins it's Marc Gasol and Randolph. Tony Allen and Conley will tag team Westbrook and whoever does better (prolly Allen) will rattle Westbrook throughout the series. Battier will slow down KD. The Griz have matched up well vs. OKC all year (as evidenced by their 3-1 record against the Thunder in the reg season) and, as we all know, DEFENSE WINS IN THE PLAYOFFS. The Griz have better half court defense than OKC.

You trollin' bruh?

and I'm not backing the Spurs, I hate them but I can appreciate good basketball. That's all I'm saying.
 
I use my phone to post replys and whatnot, so my autocorrect screws me more often than not.

The Spurs are too good and too veteran a team to be beaten by the Grizzlies in a seven game series. Start betting against Gregg Popovich and you will lose your money every time. I saw the Griz @ Mavs at the AAC at the beginning of the season and I must admit, that roster had potential then, and they are starting to realize that potential now. OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay, and Shane Battier is a good threesome, throw in Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol and you have one hell of a starting line up.

The Grizzlies problems are two fold. No true veteran with substantial playoff experience and a weak bench. All of the great teams can throw two things off the bench that are essential to winning. All elite teams having an offensive spark plug or two they can throw off the bench togive their stars a rest and still put up points. And they all have a defensive stopper. They all have that one guy who the coach says "sic em" and he goes and plays balls out defense on their best offensive player and does a good job at making a superstar seem average for atleast a few minutes.

The grizzlies have a very nice starting line up, but not a deep enough bench and not enough veteran leadership to topple the mighty Spurs.

(Dallas-Miami finals again. I don't know why... But I have a feeling I'm making a completely retarded prediction. Spurs-Celtics really. )

I honestly am not trolling. I have said this in all of the NBA threads of past. I do hate the Spurs, so one might label me biased, however I founded that hatred on the fact that the Spurs are boring and need to dunk more

I watch the NBA for explosive athletes leaping over one another in poetic justice. this is the Gilded Age of the NBA (look at how many competitive 1st round games for once) and I watch the pros more than college because I do want to see dunks and people flying around

I don't watch the NBA to see boring teams. and while the Spurs no doubt supply great defense - they hold no more appreciative value and fun factor due than a good NCAA hoops team

I can't really add anything to this. Couldn't have said it better myself.




And fuck the Heat, man. They are my team, and I love them, but they need to sweep teams like the sixers. Motherfucker.


All I got to say is thank god the Celtics traded away Perkins. I would bet against the Heat if they still had them, but I think the Heat make the finals this year based on Doc's stupidity.
 
Flash doesn't win. Ask Allen Iverson. I watch the sport to see greatness. Larry Bird, Jerry West, Dirk, Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash. Boring? Really? Have you ever seen Jason Kidd or Steve Nash make a pass? Now that is poetic. I can go 15 minutes away and watch amazing athletes dunk all day. You can go see an And1 basketball game if all you want are crazy dunks. Trust me, in two And1 games you will see more insane offensive displays than you will in every single NBA game over the course of an entire season.

I watch to NBA to see who wins. Sports are the best TV out there. Go mavs?

Yeah, cause it was Doc who decided to trade Perk? He's the damn coach, he had nothing to do with it. That was all Danny Ainge. C's will be fine, they'll beat the Heat in 6.
 
they wanted to keep perk but he wouldnt sign a long term deal with them so they tried to get something for him now while they could. smart move by perk imo now hes on a team that if that could be in contension for years to come once the kobe era is over in LA

of course I never made any comparison to flash, lack-off, and winning

and while that is as good a reason as any to be an NBA fan, I watch it for the flash. we are truly in the Gilded Age of the NBA, and if you can't bring the dunks then I'm sorry, but your team is not getting my Neilsen rating

Dat LA defense. Love Andrew's activity, dudes goin hard. Kobe's attacking the rim and not settling for jumpers. Told ya'll we got this.

Yall see that game winning block by J-Smoove? Dwight MAD
 
you've got a lot of swag as a Lakers fan that barely made it through the first round

I know the Lakers are used to first rounds that are a little too close for comfort, but aren't you a little worried? CP3 did run out of options and slowed down at the end, but for a while he tore up that LA defense

Nah, I'm honestly not worried at all. I know my team and what they're capable of doing when they're focused and motivated. We didn't protect the paint AT ALL in Game 1, and he went off. Game 2 and 3, we picked up our defensive intensity, slowed him down a bit and won both. but in Game 4 we all of a sudden stopped protecting the paint and decided to play defense like a freakin JV team, and what happened? CP3 fucked around and got a triple double. And despite their efforts, it was still a one possession game very late in the 4th quarter until Gasol Kwame'd Kobe's pass on a critical possession. So despite going at like 40%, we still could have won that game. You already know what happened in Game 5 and Game 6...

And please don't start with David West was injured crap. Pau shot 71% against him in the regular season and Odom has bitched Landry who would have to be his primary matchup as the bench big. Landry actually gave us much more problems offensively and is a more physical defender. David West doesn't like our size & usually sticks to shooting his mid-range jumpers which plays right into our hands.



Point is, we're damn near unbeatable when we are motivated, feed our bigs and play inside-out. I know they'll be a lot more focused in round 2.
