AROUND THE NBA - April/Playoffs

[Spud147]

I'd rather see Canada win.

That would be my fairy tale ending to this but, unfortunately, I don't see them winning a game outside of Canada in the next couple weeks.

 

[speeds]

In theory, I agree. But that team doesn't deserve a championship. If they were actually a championship-worthy team then they'd be my preferred choice - but they're not.

What's all this then? If you win it you earned it. Deserve ain't got nothing to do with it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Pretty much like Hillary vs Trump - screwed either way.

Yes, but one of those is just an unpleasant handjob, while the other involves being sodomized with a barb-wire covered baseball bat.

So the Raptors are like the Bernie Sanders in this scenario?

Lowry a no show tonight.

Feast or (most likely) famine.

Didn't he get in trouble in college for smoking tha' ganja? Looks like he may have taken a post-game toke right before this interview too...

"This must be a fluke. We'll win against the printer next time!"

Mike D'Antoni to coach Houston lol

 

[PtldPlatypus]

1080AM just reported that Mike Dantoni has been hired as the Rockets' head coach.

Harden will lead the league in scoring next year.

Makes sense - if your "best" player isn't going to play defense might as well get a coach that doesn't require that his team play defense.

Yep, but they will finish with less than 45 wins too and still not make the playoffs next year.

 

[PDXFonz]

Clutchfans is going to be a good read. Bout to go check it out!

They were trying to organize an anti D'Antoni rally at their arena. Gonna be a lot of pissed off people over there.

Oh lord. We'll beat them 175-145

Mike D isn't a bad coach. No reason with a decent off season they can't get back to the playoffs.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

If Meyers Leonard were smart, he'd angle a way to get himself on that Houston squad.

If Olshey was smart he'd teach him some quick geometry

Because they don't need more offence. They need better team defense. And they made the playoffs this year. Doesnt matter, that team os going down anyhow...In two years they will be like the 94' Denver nuggets ( I think it was 94', maybe late 80's). Averaging 140 ppg but have a 20-62 record...

I'm pretty tall, but somehow that joke went over my head.

 

[Boob-No-More]

1080AM just reported that Mike Dantoni has been hired as the Rockets' head coach.

Harden will lead the league in scoring next year.

And still not make 3rd team All NBA. Voters no longer just look at scoring average when filling out their ballots. The most important stat is wins, but they also value things like leadership, defense and teamwork.

BNM

Oh man, it's a great joke too

 

[PtldPlatypus]

All I can think is that the only geometry L3onar_ cares about is sphere-->arc-->circle.

Geometry - Angle

I think MM is saying if Olshey were smart he'd teach Meyers how to get himself on the Rockets.

I think if Olshey were smart he wouldn't match anything above how he see's Meyers fitting into the salary equation. He's probably the most likely RFA not to be a Blazer next season.

I've been listening to a lot of outside people talk about the Blazers and they think Leonard is the one who will get the most money out of our RFAs.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I think fans have been somewhat lopsided and bias because they want so much more. Meyers is what he is so far and what he is is still valuable. a 7ft with a 3pt shot. How many are even in the league? 5? 7?

He has value, but its about his role, how much he thinks he should have vs how much he can actually provide for us as a better team. That will dicate his money. Dont think for a moment that the Blazers are writing him off as a lost cause.

 

[B-Roy]

Meyers is a great player to fill a role, but all our bigs are "fill a role" bigs. I'd like Meyers back if we move one of Plumlee and Davis and grab an actual starter. I don't think he should be a priority. Definitely a wait and see type of player.

Yeah, I'd keep two of those three (hopefully Ed being one of them!).
