U only need to watch the 4th quarter in the regular season. Watch all of the playoffs and FinalsI've never watched a full basketball game.
Maybe I should :S
Hawks are extremely impressive this year, alot of people thought last year was a fluke. They got absolutely robbed in the Boston series.Alright, an NBA thread!!!! I think the LA Kobe's are gonna take it, but I still have hope in my Hawks
You havent lived yet D:I've never watched a full basketball game.
Maybe I should :S
You gave the lakers Gasol for a ham samich. Boooooo. Although your set as far as salary cap goes.I will always be a Grizzlies fan...
And I will always start to cry when the postseason comes around
*raises hand*Where my Spurs fans????
We're old as ****, but **** we're a dynasty.
How come a Knicks fan hates the Spurs? lolGood topic! I'm a die hard Knicks fan, even though I'm from Michigan. Nate Robinson is the best. LeBron James will be a Knick in 2010, just watch. I'd say my LEAST favorite team is the Spurs, sorry JonBeBonanza.
I listen to pretty much every Knick game on the NBA internet radio feed, and watch about half the Pistons games. I would like to see LA vs. Cleveland in the Finals this year.
Everyone hates the Spurs, lolHow come a Knicks fan hates the Spurs? lol
I dunno, is there a reason a Knicks fan should like the Spurs?!How come a Knicks fan hates the Spurs? lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QiR0t7rw7gI don't like watching the Spurs play. I'd rather watch Wade swim through five guys and finish with a reverse layup while tumbling to the floor for the and-1 than wath Duncan hold the ball for five seconds and then hit a bank shot. Also, solid defense isn't as fun to watch as great, inconsistent defense.
Also, I hate the Pistons. There are too many bad attitudes on that team.
Actually, I guess your right. Forgot about 99. They did pretty good during the trade deadline. Hughes seems like a nice fit for the offense. I hope they make it to the playoffs this year cuz they really seem like an upset worthy squad.I dunno, is there a reason a Knicks fan should like the Spurs?!
meh...bowen doesnt play that much anymore... hes been replaced by a younger roger mason / matt bonner / george hill and other players.For every exciting play Manu makes, it is completely negated the next time down the floor when he flops on defense, or often, flops on offense as well. As a matter of fact, most of the Spurs are infamous for flopping or playing dirty. As in Bruce Bowen. If the Spurs got rid of Bruce Bowen I wouldn't have such a deep hate for them, but as it stands, I see them as abusers of the game.
But to be honest, Tim and Tony are both on my Fantasy team, so I can appreciate how good they play.
I'ven been a die hard spurs fan since i could poop. I bleed black and silver. And you cannot say spurs are not exciting to watch, they have this one guy i think his name is Manu, yeah that's it. HAHAH TOOOO MOTER ****ING GOOD.
Yo nike, when i turn 18 (which is like in 2 weeks) my mom said it would be cool for me to travel to tourneys more, i know you're up in SA so we shall flirt, i mean talk about basketball, heck maybe catch a game who knows.
But tell me you remember this, Spurs Laker, Duncan hits the insane fade-away at the thop of the key for the lead, and than that ******* fisher hit's that .4 shot.
Idk about you, but i cried. I cried when duncan hit that shot, my entire family had heart attacks, and when fisher hit that ****, i'm pretty sure we all died. it's a miracle that i'm still here standing.
Cant deny the truth. Alot of floppers in the league. Suprisingly, The bowen cheapness almost never shines. This entire season, Ive seen him make an obvious flop, which was sticking his foot out during a 3pointer. Ref called offensive foul.For every exciting play Manu makes, it is completely negated the next time down the floor when he flops on defense, or often, flops on offense as well. As a matter of fact, most of the Spurs are infamous for flopping or playing dirty. As in Bruce Bowen. If the Spurs got rid of Bruce Bowen I wouldn't have such a deep hate for them, but as it stands, I see them as abusers of the game.
But to be honest, Tim and Tony are both on my Fantasy team, so I can appreciate how good they play.
Pop is resting him for the playoffs. he comes out when Spurs play against a SG/SF All Star, and still makes himself known defensively.meh...bowen doesnt play that much anymore... hes been replaced by a younger roger mason / matt bonner / george hill and other players.
that being said.. flopping is hilarious. anyways...
i predict that cleveland wins this year. boston, despite rondo playiing better than last year, is a year older. lakers are the lakers last year without andrew bynum... i predict, if ginobli is healthy by playoffs, that the finals are cavs vs spurs..
You forget raja bell. He rivals manumanu, nash, dirk, andre miller, haslem, bogut. All masters of the flop. but hey, it's a defensive skill and since they got rid of hand-checking (bogus) it's become sexy to flop. see Divac, Vlade.
Proof:So Cavs got this. People like Delonte West and Mo Williams can score. And when they don't score, Lebron will drop a triple double on you.
Flopping is truly an art, i agree. I give credit where it's due, holding the ball is also a good tactic, dirty but still a good tactic. Example: I was at our schools girls 3rd round state playoff game. We are the Moody Trojans playing against the Ray Texas. Last time they played the texas beat them by forty. This time with playoffs on the line, going in the fourth our girls (Lady Trojans) where down by 8. Begining of the fourth the Texans start holding the ball. High school only plays with 8 minutes, and no shot clock. The pg from the Texans HELD the ball at the top court ( past half court of course) and STOOD there. Our girls were playing a 2-3 zone for they were playing a half court trap most of the game and could have been tired etc. etc. Anyways, since the BEGINNING of the fourth the girls were holding the ball, just passing around and **** at one point the held the ball for a FULL minute. To which i stood up from the stands and yelled "MINDGAMES" at the top of my already horse throat.alright you all...
first off...flopping is an art. its part of the game. if you are cunning enough to pull off the flop so that the refs are oblivious to it... so be it. honestly, i have SOMEWHAT of a respect for floppers. again, its an art. some are better at it than others. until they implement that rule that they were considering - the one where they issue a tech everytime someone flops - then so be it.
that being said...
is anyone going to challenge my claim that the finals is going to feature spurs vs cavs? if everyone is healthy on the spurs, than i think they are > than the lakers.
Arguing about which team is better is pointless. We'll never have a statistically signifigant sample. Watch the game and enjoy it; it's stupid to get too attached to one particualr city.
I've never seen Duncan put up 81 though.
With that being said, a team that flops wont bring in many fans, you wouldn't go to those games. Hell i wouldn't even watch them. But there are much more factors to take into consideration. If you care what they are, ask and i'll tell you, but i'm hoping you know what they are so i don't have to type all this ****.not entertaining to watch
