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

Honestly I wonder how Vogel felt about his player laying on the floor so long. Growing up every sport I played coaches always told us that its okay to be tired, but you can't show it as it signifies a weakness.

I understand taking a few extra seconds but what he did was ridiculous.

 

To be fair, LeBron spent a good amount of time under that dudes seat as well.

 

Also, lol, Congrats to Cavs. If they were as good at winning basketball games as they are at winning the lottery, who knows, maybe they'd be a decent team )

But seriously, our resident Cavs fans are pretty cool, so congrats guys.

 

True, but the Stephenson thing was like a mini show within the game. It was weird to watch honestly because it was like a full on nap on the floor

I don't like it when our players do it either though.

 

Paul George diagnosed with a concussion

 

From Wade's knee? That didn't look that bad.

 

Yeah he blacked out in game apparently. It's all out there on the interwebz

 

I want Parker, but I have to admit I have seen almost none of the top 3 guys (well anyone really). Embiid's back just scares me. I'll be excited with any of the three though.

Also, Mallory was certainly ok, but I think it is just people getting carried away. Also, the Timberwolves representative is being overlooked for some reason.

 

I wanted to make the playoffs this past year (even as the 8th seed, and even if it meant Mike Brown wasn't fired), but it was nice to have a competitive year (compared to the 3 prior) and still wind up with a high pick. It was a nice consolation (may be better).

 

IMO Jabari Parker is the safest pick of the expected top 3. He's going to be a really good player. Embiid might have a higher ceiling, but he also has the highest bust potential. After the Bennett fiasco Cleveland should go for the safest pick.

 

In Soviet Russia, Wades knee injure you.

 

Sect, you still got OKC without Ibaka?

 

Putting all my Pacers' hate aside, I wish George a full recovery.

 

I've actually never disliked George.

Hibbert, West, and Stephenson I detest but George never got under my skin.

 

This one fantastic

As a Sixer fan, as long as one of the top 2 teams takes Embiid and the Sixers get Parker/Wiggins, I'll be happy. I'm really intrigued about what the Sixers will do with the number 10 pick, though.

 

I hope Lance Stephenson tells George the key to feeling better. Do anything as much as possible.

 

Yep. This series is going long.

 

If the Thunder had Ibaka, I would agree with that. Without him, they look like a shell of themselves. I still think they can win a game or two, but not much more than that.

 

Yeah.... Lose.

 

Spurs pretty impressive tonight. Impressive in Game 1 too. I'd be shocked if this series goes 6 games.

 

Spurs in 5, Heat in 6.

 

Bosh better get his **** together or the Heat are not going to take the Spurs again.

 

The Spurs deserve a ton of credit, but the Thunder look absolutely lost out there. That 77 point performance is not because the Spurs have this indomitable defense, even if they are a good defensive team, that is on the Thunder.

They have no idea what to do on offense, look totally lost each possession. They also look lost on defense, Spurs are just waltzing in for layups or getting wide open 3s.

 

Scotty Brooks is going to get canned.

 

So Sterling consents to selling the team without a fight (We think) You guys think they will have a new owner by tip off of 2014 - 2015 season?

 

Ibaka's injury status upgraded: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/thunders-ibaka-may-available-vs-171323563--nba.html

 

Funny, you of all people posting that.

 

lol

 

Someone goes up 2-1 tonight.

 

Tony Brothers officiating tonight

God help us

 

Hopefully the crew doesn't end up mattering too much.

 

He probably should be. I would think that job could land almost any coach they wabtes.

 

Oy, just oy

 

lol. The Heat catch breaks like every year.

Rondo busts his elbow, DRose blows out his knee, Iman Shumpert blows out his knee, Rondo blows out his knee, DRose blows out a knee, Paul George gets concussed.

The East sucks enough as it is, and then all this stuff just seems to happen for the Heat.

 

To be fair, we've been those teams at full strength before in the playoffs.

 

George is still playing

Two years ago we lost Bosh for the Pacers and a lot of the Celtics

 

Beat the Bulls at full strength 4-1 in 2011
Beat the Pacers at full strength in 2012 and 2013

I'm sure if the Pacers lose though this year it will be "because PG wasn't right after the concussion."
