The Official NBA 2013-2014 Thread: Spurs win Championship:Heat cooled off

I actually wanted Memphis to draw the Spurs…I feel like OKC is going to give us problems…I think having Westbrook back plus the salt from us putting them out last year will be driving them…Thunder are athletic team, we have good defenders on the perimeter but not a lot of length or size…we coulda slowed down and banged with SA…and I think our bench is stronger than thiers…

James Harden is a defensive beast :coffee:

The sad thing is it isn’t just Harden. You could have made the same fail footage with Lin, Jones, Casspi, and Brooks when he was with us.

And this is what Kevin McHale should be showing to the team before every game, because it’s just lack of effort and awareness. He literally chooses to not play defense on most possessions and it shows. Hopefully he understand that he can’t do that in the post season.

Anyone remember how he was the one guarding LeBron in the Finals? Seems like a joke, but that’s what OKC thought would be a good match up.

You forgot to add D-Mo to that list for a 7 footer (or close to it) he’s soft.

Are the Rockets playing with an awareness of 0?

Looks like 2K IRL. :rofl:

Mitch is the man and I have complete faith he’ll get things rolling. The LAL arne’t tight wads, have history, etc. It maybe dark this season, but things WILL turn around for them, and knowing that actually will help them turn around quicker unlike Milwaukee which hasn’t amounted to much since Ray Allen and Big Dog were there. Milwaukee is in a great position, they should get the top pick in this year’s draft, they’ve got the Greek Freak. I can’t imagin the Larry Sanders tail spin getting any worse, and I ‘believe’ they have some flexibility - so if the front office is smart, they can go from 15 wins to 40 next year. They ahve the pieces, they

Beat me to it, what the video shows more than anything is a lack of effort. Sometimes players wil lblow past you or catch you with a V-cut, but too much of that was sheer lack of effort and/or awareness.

That was a joke pic… Been a while since anyone has said Raptors in 4. I see it going 6-7 in a toss up.

RAPTORS
IN
4

…Joke? What do you mean Joke? It’s gonna be Raptors in 4, just wait and see!

RAPTORS IN 4

Bit late but as a Dallas fan, we’ve probably should have won against Memphis to face OKC since were 2-1 in the regular season against them, while we’re 0-4 against the Spurs. For the East, I’ll probably be interested in the Raptors.

Raptors will win every playoff series this year in 4.

Every series they’re not even in, they win in 4.

In the Finals against the Raptors, they’ll win in 4.
