NBA 2012/2013 Thread

I don't think the bucks stand a chance at home. The last time they beat the heat was 12/29 when the heat went trying...hence the bucks win by 19. Playoffs with a healthy heat team actually trying to win, bucks will get spanked.

wow with westbook out for the playoffs we are likley to see a clippers / spurs final, will be interesting. Spurs are no doubt very happy about this, spurs are one of the most balanced teams in the league, we could see a very tough finals this year

I have a ton of respect for the Spurs, but I'd be bored with the finals unless the Clippers made it. To me the Spurs are really fun to watch just cleaning shit up year after year in the regular season with insanely well run efficiency, but are boring in the playoff. Id rather see Chris Paul do crazy shit and get a ton of media exposure and lose to the Heat than see the Spurs, even if the Spurs have a better chance against the Heat. I dont want to be that guy but to me the NBA has been getting more and more boring and now is just a guilty pleasure/soap opera ever since Rasheed Wallace retired, lol.

I was also hoping for a run by the nuggets but that was pretty much ruined with Gallo going down. Even if they're still good or whatever I just hate what if thoughts about not being 100%.

now durant is gonna learn the how Lebron felt in Cleveland all these years

hope nobody had the under in bulls-nets game

i quit watching celtics-knicks game when celtics were down 24 a few minutes into the 4th, oh well, give up on game nice try celtics...go into kitchen, make a snack, come back and they're within 6 with half the quarter left. wat.

i can't remember the last time i've rooted more for any teams that aren't "my teams" than i've rooted for celtics and bulls these playoffs

edit: le sigh

LOL i quit it too. Came to my comp, opened liquid, saw your post and came back to watch the game :D

i quit when i saw boston had 27 at halftime lol

Plz tell me some hero put a parlay on CHI/GS today?

i wish

becoming a bigger noah fan everytime i watch him play

Sick game

O M G

playoffs so good T_T

monday games were sick good, prob best back to back i've ever seen

Wow...bulls got straight up massacred

couldn't watch heat/bulls game, glad i didn't miss much ;o

surprised how nasty the warriors have been, really didn't expect them to do anything in the playoffs tbh.

yeah ^^ I thought they would be eliminated quickly in the first round. That being said I didn't watch many warrior games in the regular season, have been following them closely in the playoffs. I am very impressed by them and their ability to shoot, also having a healthy Bogut is HUGE, hes a huge body who plays defense, grabs rebounds and does not need any plays called for him. Also Curry is a beast, establishing himself as a league superstar.

spurs grizzlies should be a great series. i think people are sleeping on spurs too much right now with grizz being the trendy pick, however i'm rooting for grizzlies because i made a small bet on them midseason to win the title at +4200.

edit- first game is disappoint

bump

Howard to Houston.
Iguodala to Warriors.

good bump indeed, reports say the Rockets are also in talks with Josh Smith. Maybe they want him to stretch the floor w/ his 200+ 3 point attempts.

Smith looks like part they dont quite need in my opinion, they got some solid squad. Indiana made some nice pickups with CJ watson and Copeland. I'm a big fan of Iguodala but i cant see why warriors want to get rid of Bogut. Also Clippers got nice additions and Brooklyn got rather interesting setup right now.
