Destino Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The spurs 5 starters played less minutes than 5 bench players and they beat the Cavs by 30. Popovich should win coach of the year every season and a second smaller award should be given to whatever other coach manages to look good before getting fired.

Going Commando Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yeah Pop plays chess and the rest of the league plays checkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have no idea about the context, but this is hilarious. On a sidenote, I would take Matt Bonner as a backup PG over Eric Maynor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 For Chicago to tank they'd have to have a fire sale. They probably aren't going to lose enough games to miss the playoffs, let alone finish in the bottom 5 of the league, with their roster and the way they play defense. I don't see them doing that, especially now that people are worried Rose may never really be the same guy he was before the first knee injury. Speaking of tanking, I think it's time for the Sixers to trade Turner. Dude is finally playing like a 2nd overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWolf990 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thibs is incapable of tankingtanking is not in the hands of the coach, but management. Gut that roster and leave him with trash, and even Thibs would take loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Can you all imagine if the Bulls end up w. Jabari Parker? Would be the 2nd home-grown star to play on the current team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 My dream: Either Blazers or T'Wolves start to suck hardcore and Bulls offer Deng, Boozer, the Bobcats 1st and Mirotic for either Aldridge or Love. But I seriously doubt we will see Rose before October of 2014 so yeah, gut the team. Trade Deng and Boozer. Honestly, with Hinrich and Teague playing as PGs, they may barely score 80 points a game. They are both ****ing awful. I hate Kirk Hinrich more than any other player in the NBA. He is so terrible but analysts will swear that he is one of the most underrated guys in the league. Playoffs are a toss up for the Bulls now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) #304 on the list of why the Spurs are the Spurs is the fact that they seem like the most deadly serious team in the league from afar, but up close, there is all kinds of weird funny stuff going on there. I think Pop is probably hysterical behind closed doors. It seems entirely possible that Pop said to Parker, "Let's make Bonner play point and see what happens."

Sticksboi05 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Guess we know the Eastern Conference Finals now. Indy/Miami though that was 75% likely anyway, Rose's injury just solidifies it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I don't think anyone could have predicted this mess before the season. 35 wins might get an Atlantic Division team the #4 seed.

SuperBash Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Kobe signs a 2 year extension that will be between 40-50 mil? I thought he would have taken the Duncan route and take less to have better players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I think we can probably predict the playoff teams with like 80% accuracy. It'd be close to 100 if we could predict injuries. Feels like you make yourself a playoff team in the summer because its all about the quality of players on your roster. The best seasons happen for the teams with the most talented and balanced rosters. That doesn't necessarily happen in the NFL and MLB. There's a lot of magic that goes into a good season there. East: 1.) Chicago 2.) Miami 3.) Brooklyn 4.) New York 5.) Indiana 6.) Cleveland 7.) Washington 8.) Boston 9.) Milwaukee 10.) Detroit 11.) Atlanta 12.) Charlotte 13.) Toronto 14.) Orlando 15.) Philadelphia Yea....80 percent accuracy. Your #1, #3, #4, #6, #7, and #8 seeds may not make the playoffs at all. Your #11 might be a #3 seed. Your #13 might win its division and be the #4 seed. I don't blame you for this, but good gravy......The East is a mess. If I'm Miami, I'm playing Wade and Bosh 25 minutes a night from here on out. And I'm cutting back on Lebron's minutes too (though not as much because he is a cyborg). I don't even care about the division at this point. There is no difference between the 2 and 3 seed; I'm sweeping Atlanta in round 2 if the games are played in Tokyo. I want those guys healthy and well-rested come May. And they are getting a Top 3 seed if they play Lebron with Pat Riley at the 2 guard. Edited November 25, 2013 by Lombardi's_kid_brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind I'm confused. And pissed. And hurt. It depends on whether they repair the meniscus or remove it. Remove it and it's a quicker recovery - except you now lack a meniscus. They clearly went the repair route. I don't blame them. You really don't want Derrick Rose going the bone on bone route at age 25. On the other hand, Good Lord, when did he become 25?

ANd much more than what Duncan earns for the Spurs. BUt I agree, he shoulda took 20 mill a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
