The Pacers really push the ball and they played great D. They made 10 more threes than Cavs. Whoever hits three at a high % and significant rate will win and advance.

I am pretty sure we do. The hard part is getting the other players on the team who can carrying him.

I wish we had a future first ballot HOF’er on our roster that needed to be carried. SIGH….

Sure, but that was not what I was responding to.

You said "I wish we had a player on our roster that would lose two games for us in the playoffs, and we still advanced."
And I am saying we do have players on our roster who could lose two games for Denver and have them still advance. What we don't have is the rest of Denver's team that made their advancement possible. In particular, a multi-year MVP of the league.

Twolves have been sitting since Wednesday and will have 8 full days off on Tuesday. .

if I would have had 8 days off on Tuesdays, it would have been my favorite day of the week

 

[THE HCP]

We have lots of guys who could cost us playoff games...

I wish we were IN the playoffs so we could have players cost us games SIGH…..

 

[THE HCP]

That’s wrong. Minnesota is #6.

I love that in that entire page…..THAT is what stood out to you and felt that it needed to be posted about. Absolutely love it!

 

[THE HCP]

Not letting it go now either. If I say “Reagan is an asshole and lives in Oregon,” and you say “no, I’m not an asshole,” can I respond with “the rest is right, let it go?”

Let it go.

 

[THE HCP]

I think it's great. All part of the playoffs.

Correct. You handle your business in a timely manner, you are rewarded.

We screwed up trying to get into the playoffs this year.

Agreed. THIS was the year NOT to.

Who’s winning the championship this year?

Boston? OKC? Other?

I don’t think we tried to make the playoffs, per se. We just tried to get better and the wins came organically,

NOT THE F'ING LAKERS!

Joe & Chauncey and obviously the ownership thought different. J&C even got extensions when to the surprise of many. I felt all along that they were given this past season to earn those extensions by winning some game and showing improvement. I agree in that it certainly would be nice to get Flagg or even a shot at him.

So hard to say. In regular season, they were one of the best teams ever but other teams have more experience. We’ll see.

We have a shot at him.

 

[Hoopguru]

We were ranked 26 out of 30 in 3Pt shooting. Not good I today's league. Look at the top ten ran red and they are all in playoffs.

 

[Hoopguru]

We have a shot at him.

I never thought we get #1 to select Oden. Hope Im wrong again.

 

[Hoopguru]

Agreed. THIS was the year NOT to.

dont you think that Jody & Bert would have made sure we were bottom three, if they were all that interested. I think they challenged Joe & Chaunc to prove they are on the right track that doest include purposely tanking. Once again the tank curse has dislodged the flippers.

It was the wrong decision regardless of Flagg, Joe or Chauncey.

Jody and Bert screwed up. I would rather see them replaced than anybody else in the organization.

My math seems a bit sketchy. Don’t you think?

Soon we can say this about the Cowboys as well.

 

[wizenheimer]

Don’t you think?

almost never

Nah. It was amateur hour. Disgraceful.

Bert gotta go. And Jody too, if she doesn't see it.

That's why Scarlett Johansson is my backup in case my wife ever leaves me.

 

[PDXFonz]

10+ years of Eric saying that he “called it” referencing this post

We have a shot at him.

How many tries did it take?

 

[Hoopguru]

There is such a wide rookie salary gap between 1 & 2 versus 9/10. With the Vulcans/B&J wanting to stay cap clean within reason, they probably feel they can get as good a player as 2-10 regardless what pick they get, for considerably less.
