*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

That is thee best home crowd I have ever heard in basketball...Heat/ Celtics?? GL winning in that venue.

 

Woah, congrats to OKC. Proved me wrong, for sure.

 

Not even the BS Muting of the crowd that they do today can stop that crowd from being LOUD.

See heat? There's a team that has a WILL TO WIN.

 

Awesome performance by okc. Thought they needed another year of seAsoning but they are reaDy to be crowned champions now. This is the next dynasty

 

Durant vs. LeBron. Make it happen Stern.

 

So that's where Mo Cheeks went when we fired him.

 

Haha. I don't know but that would be a great series.

 

Crowd not only loud but very classy applauding the Spurs.

 

I hope OKC beat the **** out of Boston, hopefully mass suicide is a result.
Because **** those guys.

 

Roll thunder roll!! We ballin!!

 

Why u mad doe?

 

Lmao. They play in Boston. Nobody not wearing green ever gets calls in that place.

 

The only green that matters is...



Get it done Stern.

 

Actually think the heat are a better matchup for okc. Heat would be supid enough to try to run with okc and get destroyed in the process. Boston will turn it into a halfcourt gm. I don't think boston has enough firepower offensively to keep up.

 

They don't. I think you are looking at the Thunder being crowned champs, and rightfully so. That's a good basketball team

 

agreed. they are ready to do it one year earlier than i thought they would. fun to watch too.

and they don't whine about fouls which is refreshing

 

Congrats to the Thunder on winning the championship. Great NBA season, can't wait to do it again next year

 

lmao that last part is a joke right? they complain as much as any other team. Hell, perkins complains after he GETS the call lmao....

 

The Heat are 19th in the league in pace, they don't really try to push the ball.

The finals will be interesting because it will be one of the top two defensive teams against a team that has either the best or second best offense in the league.

 

my point was that miami wouldnt be averse to running with the thunder which is suicide against that team. no way boston's old men will attempt to run. they will play half court all the way

 

I'd like to see KD win a ring if Lebron couldn't. Two of my favorite players. Actually, might be my two favorite players.

Only issue for me would be the idiots claiming that Durant is now better than Lebron.

 

so popovich is an idiot?

 

Yuppers.

 

Just realized it's the 19th anniversary of Drazen Petrovic' death. What could of been.

 

Shame on me, I went to bed at the half.....

should have known....

 

no. I remember the elation from Magic fans when he got canned.

What you didn;t say in this post was that Doc never made it out of the first round in Orlando and had a 5-10 playoff record. He was a terrible coach in Orlando. My memory is fine.

 

first thunder game?

They invented a call (rip through) because of a Durant flopping technique. Harden complains getting off the bus, Westbrook has perfected the dismissive whine to officials, and NOBODY complains more than Perkins.

 

This "Heat is a running team" BS is ignorant media crap. No. They would NOT try to run with OKC. They would try to run off of long rebounds only, thus their "pace and space" philosophy.

They have played them 4 times before (2-2), and in each game, they played SLOWER in EACH.

 

Doc also blew a 3-1 series lead to Detroit. He was not a very good coach in Orlando. He got a veteran team to buy in and became a very good manager of egos. And now, because of the ring, and his growing reputation, he automatically gets the respect of the young guys

 

they are loud....

but that is not a "difficult" place. difficult places are HOSTILE places. Those lilly white people are soooooo nice...

 

nope no that wont happen...this area is like having poison ivy on your balls if you are a fan of the opposite team like I am.....

If they lose the series, the #12 NFL jerseys go on, and talks of undefeated season begin once happen...

 

Kinda like the idiots that think Montana was better than Marino...?



Championships are EVERYTHING in sports bro...

 

Yeah your memory is ****. The "elation" from Magic fans must have consisted of a few ******s on RealGM, because nobody in Orlando was calling for his head. Tmac was basically the entire team, so yeah please go put the blame on Rivers for the playoff woes. I'm sure Grant Hill's ankle didn't factor at all in those 4 years.

 

Please. No one and I mean no one whines about fouls more than lebron, wade and the heat fans. The stadium shouLd be renamed for gallo wine

 

projection is not fact.

your post is bull****. and you know it is bull****, but it was fun making it.

 

revisionist history is always fun.

Doc Rivers without KG, Pierce and Rondo?

102-144

yep. Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson and Pat Riley..move on over!

 

Never said the heat are a running team. Said they would run with okc and that's because you can always count on the heat to do what's wrong. Boston plays with discipline. They know their limitations. Miami doesnt

 

Will also add, this series isn't over yet. Miami can eAsily win this. They justhave to find their testicles first
