OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread - March edition

[Strenuus]

Road games are not the same as home games.

Barely beating the horrific Bucks and losing TO the horrific Lakers...at home...are worse than losing to those teams on the road.

Yep. Losing on the road to any team at least doesn't feel terrible.... but to the lakers and having to go to OT to the bucks in your building? Completely unacceptable.

Knicks beat the mighty Pacers? How can this be? I thought bad teams never win games against teams with better records.

I didn't know TRob came out of the closet.

 

[Strenuus]

lol. Didn't think we could count on Minnesota for anything.

Uh oh. Russell Westbrook just took a shot on that bad right knee, limped off ->

 

[3RA1N1AC]

he moved his leg into the contact, what a dipshit

 

[santeesioux]

I know they play better without him, but did the Thunder just become the team we want to play in the playoffs?

Marc Gasol to the locker room with an apparent leg injury. Twisted his ankle/knee a few plays ago, stayed in. Now out.

 

[riverman]

I'll take any team in the playoffs except the Grizzlies and Rockets. Really want somebody else to knock them out of the first round. Most favorable to me are Mavs, Spurs and Golden State. Clippers are on the fence, we have a hard time with them but they're beatable.

durant gets so focused without him these days, not so sure about that

 

[THE HCP]

Gasol left arena in walking boot!

I'm assuming this is Marc... that'd be devastating for Memphis... we saw how they are without him.

 

[THE HCP]

yes Marc

In the regular season, could he keep it up and put the team on his back for a whole series?

 

[julius]

I wonder if the injuries this year are at a higher rate than years past, or it just seems to be more noticeable (league wide) this year.

I dunno. Good question. I know the league would never do it, but going down to 72 games would be amazing.

We notice them more because this year they're not happening to us.

Minnesota has quit on Adelman. What a disaster.

 

[PapaG]

That should be Oden's 4th.

that seems to be a pattern with Rick.

Pacers are going through some bad shit now. PG looks so off his game. At least we sorta have the LA absence excuse (although getting plastered by CHA is still completely unacceptable), but what's theirs?

I think a lot of this slump stuff from both teams has to do with complacency.

What do we have to be complacent about? AT least Indiana is guaranteed a playoff spot.

 

[KingSpeed]

Thunder and Mavs tied with less than a minute to go. We desperately need Dallas to lose. It's on TNT.

 

[Strenuus]

Come on OKC!

 

[Strenuus]

Big 3 for OKC!

 

[KingSpeed]

Big 3 for Dallas

 

[Strenuus]

damnit, tied up... mavs have the ball. can't trust westbrook for anything.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dallas is going to win this so we're going to have to step up and win games or it's over.

 

[KingSpeed]

Westbrook blows it again
