NBA 2016 Playoffs & Beyond

[PhilsFan]

It's the most important day in sports history.

 

[phanan]

I'd be happy, but it's the Celtics, so yeah.

I have a nickel on the Knicks winning the first pick and having to forefit it to Toronto over Andrea Fucking Bargnani.

The basketball gods decided that having Bargnani for two seasons was enough punishment.

Congrats Peef, you finally got your #1. No more being the bridesmaid.

Until the #7 pick becomes a Hall of Famer

Mitch Kupchak's pinky tho

 

[PhilsFan]

Bring me Ingram, the Duke pick we needed all along.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

You think Sixers will go for Ingram?

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

Jeff Hornacek, your New York Knicks new head coach!

 

[Hewson]

You think Sixers will go for Ingram?

They need a guard, Buddy is their man.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Because conspiracy theories are fun, just want to toss out that Jeff Hornacek's dad John is the long time lead assistant coach of Gene Pingatore at St Joseph outside of Chicago.

Pingatore's most famous alum is, of course, Isiah Thomas.

 

[gump]

Why do you have to ruin everything, Headache?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Ha!

He was Isiah's freshman coach and the Dean of students.

I honestly wonder if LeBron works on flopping as part of his off season workout program. Like he gets somebody from the WWE to help him perfect his maneuvers. Maybe Ric Flair.

 

[DaveC]

maybe he goes to the same off-season camp as ndp mp's.

 

[PhilsFan]

You think Sixers will go for Ingram?

No, I think they will go for Simmons, but I'm okay with that. This isn't like last year where I was adamantly against Okafor (and was correct). I'll be good with Simmons or Ingram.

They need a guard, Buddy is their man.

Absolutely not.

From his best friend Dwyane Wade, of course.

Draymond Green denies intentionally kicking Steven Adams in the groin, "I'm sure he wants to have kids someday." If not, I'm sure he'll have or does have plenty of nieces and nephews. Adams has 17 siblings.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Green clearly kicked him on purpose. I don't know how anyone could justify that as a basketball play. You don't kick your leg out like that from a two footed jump. The first time he got Adams in the little Stevie's you could argue that it was accidental. There's no argument on this one, and it's so obvious it makes you wonder about the first one; whether that was also intentional and he just did a better job of hiding it.

Green looks like a guy who's bought into his own hype a little too much here and thinks the success is about him, not because of how well crafted his team is and how his skill set fits the bigger picture. He's self combusting right now and it may cost Golden State a second title.

 

[Hewson]

I wonder if Adams' "Monkeys" comment played any role in Green's decision to Rochambeau him.

 

[mikal]

If Cavs vs Thunder is the Finals, who do y'all think will win?

Thunder sure are hot right now.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I don't really give a shit.

It reminds me of when Dwyane Wade kicked Ramon Sessions in the dick. Basically the same, completely unnatural kicking motion, albeit 40 feet from the basket.

 

[mikal]

Or when Suh accidentally stepped on someone on Thanksgiving a few years back?

 

[PhilsFan]

No, because that was stepping on someone and this was a kick to the balls.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I get the point you're making...

But let's not compare Dwyane Wade to Ndonkeykong Suh in terms of anything dirty.

 

[Hewson]

But let's not compare Dwyane Wade to Ndonkeykong Suh in terms of anything dirty.

Yeah, Suh's not that bad.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

When Suh stepped on Aaron Rodgers, Dwyane Wade fell down.

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

No suspension for Green. Because he has that unnatural kicking motion in his repertoire, he has been given carte blanche to give guys low blows. Lame. Warriors continue to get all the breaks.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's a joke that he's not suspended, but I hardly think Golden State is in the position they're in because they just get so many breaks from the league
