****The Official 2013-14 NBA Thread****

Btw..notice how spo threw wade on tele..and the yolo BS stopped?

 

Heat are 1-5 in games I went to this season.. I'm almost tempted to get rid of my tickets for the 2 games in Brooklyn.

 

The Nets have one clear position advantage - PG.

The Nets PG finished with no points six assists and two turnovers. That's a problemo.

The Nets don't have enough offense to make noise in this series. Ain't gonna beat the Heat scoring 85 a game.

 

Wow. Aldridge. Great effort and midrange player. Has he always been bad in the post?

 

So adamprez, the Nets got HEAT right where they want them, amirite?

 

I'm not even sure that PG is a clear advantage. Williams is a better scorer, but he also has some clear weaknesses. The only game the Nets have a chance of winning is one where they shoot lights out and Miami struggles to finish all those paint opportunities they get. It may happen. Pierce gets in zones like that occasionally and Johnson and Thornton are good scorers. But over a series, you're right, the Nets just don't have enough offense.

 

nah 1-1 wouldve been right where we want you. 1-2 will do the trick though. like i said before the gm, i just wanted to see a close gm tonight. it came down to six minutes and then you guys got hot, we got cold. thats fine. what the team needed to do tonight was remember that they can beat you and i think every net realizes that after tonight's game. now we go home with purpose and if they have any backbone, they will sweep your *** in brooklyn and we go into a three gm series. if you take one of two in brooklyn, you'll win the series. we have to take both. confident they will

 

bosh could score thirty from outside, it would play to our advantage. the only centers that give us trouble and that is due to the disruption of our defensive schemes, are big powerful inside centers. bosh shooting threes is fine. its what we want. the only center we have who can score is blatche. and he is good blatche, bad blatche depending on the day. very inconsistent. what we need from our trio is inside defense and boards, thats it. your centers like to play outside which is good by us

 

till saturday fellas

Our centers playing outside (Bird doesn't, Bosh does, till he doesn't and beats you on rolls to the basket) stretches your rim protectors out, and allows our parade to your basket.

Basketball 101.

So no. It doesn't help you. It kills you.

Oh and if Bosh scores 30 in any game (we don't ask him to score)...we beat you by 40.

 

You do realize we haven't pressed the Wade or Lebron button yet .....right? That comes later......

 

Even the torso without legs Derrick Rose? Damn, low opinion of Deron....

 

Bosh is the one really killing the Nets. Great series for him. That sequence where he blocked a shot in the lane and then ran down the court and drilled a triple on the break was a back breaker.

 

Well, once you finally break your hand on my face and can't continue, I win the fight.

 

A quote from Greg Cote that I agree fully with,

"The Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers are the only two teams that can run with Miami. Otherwise you must beat Miami with size, and the Nets are bereft."

 

Problem is, Miami can beat the Thunder and Clippers. Just because they can run with the Heat doesn't mean they can win.

 

That's not what he's saying. He's saying the only teams that can use it as an effective strategy are the Clips and Thunder.

In other words there are two strategies for the Heat. Run on them or beat them with size. Brooklyn can do neither.

 

San Antonio is the only team remaining that truly scares me and a Finals rematch with them would be a coin flip, especially without home court.

 

I agree.

 

After the Heat, the Clips have been my favorite team to watch this year. So that would probably be my favorite finals match-up. However, I believe that OKC is the match-up that most favors the Heat. And like everybody else, San Antonio is the only team that scares me.

 

Yes, and I disagreed.

 

Well then that seems to me like you have a pretty myopic view.

I heavily favor the Heat over both these teams in a series but the idea that they can't use the fast break to mitigate the Heat's great half court defense strikes me as either overconfidence or misunderstanding.

 

So far the first half of the Pacers/Wizards has been a great quarter of basketball

 

This game. Has been about as exciting as watching paint dry.

 

It's like I'm watching college ball, but without the random three-point shot attempts.

 

Time for 3-0 tonight. I actually think Brooklyn leads most of the game but Miami dominates the 4th quarter late.

 

This series is still going????

 

Flagrant on pierce halfway through the first qtr. Lel.

 

we play Pacers next, I'm worried about that series

 

Im not

 

Waiting for Adam to come in and proclaim how Brooklyn is now in the driver seat of the series

 

A double tech would be a disgrace. He threw an elbow at Allen, that should be a flagrant. Bull****.

 

This will be the only nets win

 

Double technical.... lmfao. He elbowed him with the intention of elbowing him and getting in his face after. That sums up this game.

 

Most of us predicted gentlemans sweep. Close enough. All this was was sweep prevention

 

This was always the most likely game for the Nets to win in the series
