Re: The NBA Thread
The Spurs were beaten by the Mavs in five last year. The Spurs are slightly better while the Mavs have upgraded majorly in depth and at center. The Mavs have won three of four from the Spurs this year. So, in the past calendar year the Mavs are 8-2 against the Spurs. They haven't lost at home against the Spurs since 2008... So, we'll see.

Re: The NBA Thread
I wonder if Patrick Ewing can take three more games from the Suns, though Brandon Roy probably isn't old enough to be considered for that title.

Re: The NBA Thread
It's 3-1 Spurs... they could put them away sooner than I thought! I believe I had that one, barring a huge comeback. I told you they would handle those chokers from Dallas!
I'll be at the Celtics game Tuesday to watch them (hopefully) put the Heat away.

Re: The NBA Thread
I'm so disappointed in my Lakers....they let Durant tie up the series.
And damn those boring Spurs somehow beating the Mavs.

Re: The NBA Thread
David Stern probably wanted Dallas to win. The league loses revenue when San Antonio wins.

Re: The NBA Thread
COME ON BUCKS AND MAGIC!!
You guys want coincidence? When I was about 4-ish I had some NBA cards, one was of a guy from Orlando (who were my favorite team then because I liked the name "Magic", I still support them ofcourse because I have manlove feelings for SuperDwight) and that was my favorite card. Unfortunately when I moved overseas I lost it, and couldn't remember who the player was. Then last year, I was doing some reading on Bogut and the Bucks (cause he's Aussie) and I go into the coaches background, and I Google him, and to my amazement the very same card I had pops up in Google pictures. Since then i've had a massive soft spot for the Bucks.

Re: The NBA Thread
Would the card be of Scott Skiles by any chance? He still holds the NBA record for most assists in a game (30).

Re: The NBA Thread
Wow. Blazers start Game 5 8-8 from the field and have a 14-point lead 6 minutes in. At halftime, Suns by 10.
If I'm a little late posting tonight's songs, you'll know why.
Buscemi, let me just say.... best avatar yet.

Re: The NBA Thread
For Aussies, there's also David Andersen who's a 30 year old NBA rookie for the Rockets and Nathan Jawai for the Timberwolves, who has a chance to be a decent center (though probably won't).BarcaRulz wrote:COME ON BUCKS AND MAGIC!!

Re: The NBA Thread
I'm compiling a list of some of the worst NBA draft picks of all-time. Boy, some of these were bad.

Re: The NBA Thread
I've read that list. I didn't think it went far enough.

Re: The NBA Thread
I don't either. Sam Bowie at #1, to me, is kind of a cop out. He was limited by injury, but still put up pretty decent stats (10 PPG/8.6 REB/2.8 AST/2.7 Blocks his rookie year). There's really no comparison with a Kwame Brown (could have gotten Gasol) or Tskitishvilli/Dajuan Wagner (could have gotten Amare) or Darko (Bosh, Wade, Melo)... Five guys went before Bird (the player of the year in college that year... when it actually meant something).
I think the worst pick you can make isn't what you could have gotten, but not getting anything at all out of the pick.
