Son of a bitch. We have to go through the HCP initiation AGAIN?

It's okay, sly is old. He only has so much time left before he has to step down due to the gout.

Hahahahaha!

Yes but once you're done you get no waiting Mrs HCP access.

Ha! I'm too mean to get gout.

Also I don't drink that much.

I think if the LA and Blake swap was made, both teams would get better offensively.

I don't like this deal. I saw a real lack of hustle out of Griffin today when it was needed most. Makes me start to ponder what is in the ticker and if there might be more to this rumor than just a rumor and something the Clipps might want. Say what you want about LA, overall he's a better basketball player than Blake Griffin. IMO.

It's actually pretty funny when i read all the comments about Aldridge leaving for Dallas or San Antonio. I also hear there is talk of Aldridge going to the Clippers for Blake Griffin but you never hear anyone say Blake might go to the Spurs or the Mavs? Just thinking aloud...

But Blake isn't a FA. Even if he wanted to go, he has a contract with the Clipps.

Why is there even so much talk that LMA is leaving for this and that? We had ONE FREAKING HEALTHY PLAYOFF RUN DURING THE LMA/DAME ERA

Marc Gasol and his team had God knows how many years?

Cp3 and Blake and his core had God knows how many years?

Durant and Westbrook and his core had God knows many years?

LMA and Dame literally has had ONLY one true healthy year in the playoffs together.

Look at Houston. The Harden Howard tandem had only two years together and already their in the conference finals.

All I'm saying is if LMA leaves I really question his loyalty he had because that would be some bs to leave so early in Dames prime. He could have atleast told us during the trade deadline to get something for him if he didn't want to give that tandem more than one true healthy year with Dame.

Allow LA to make the decision to walk before persecuting him

BTW. Love your passion

Honestly...Isn't $109 million enough money?

I think he would be nuts to take a one year deal. Lock it up now while you have the chance. If not here, else where.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I don't think anyone here is wanting LA to dip, it's just offseason all scenario talk. However, y'all are crazy to think BG wouldn't be the best possible trade piece to come back if we traded LA.

 

[illmatic99]

There are just no guarantees in the West. So much depends on luck with injuries, matchups, and momentum. Kinda shows us that we shouldn't fret too much about a first round exit.

I'd take BG for LA in a heartbeat. Aldridge is a better post scorer (and he's admittedly moving away from that as he ages), but Griffin is far superior at everything else. Do it, Doc. You know you want to shake that up.

I hope GS wins the whole damn thing

 

[KingSpeed]

I think I'm rooting for Houston in this series. They've been fun to watch.

 

[KingSpeed]

Come on Jinxspeed... Let's not gloat this series. I don't want the Rockets to reach the finals

I do.

 

[KingSpeed]

Rockets all the way!

Jinxspeed is strong. We may never recover

I rather the Rockets make the Finals than the Warriors, that way the Eastern team can win.

You say that, but honestly who ever comes out of the west should be the favorite and have the best chance to win imo.

I think Cleveland and Atlanta are better than Houston, more depth. Who on the Rockets can guard James, Irving and Smith? Ariza can only do so much... Atlanta would basically beat them the same way the Spurs beat the Heat.

There are only 2 other teams id field arguments from regarding best fans - The Warriors, and the Kings (Although some of them are hibernating).

I think it would be awesome if the Kings management could get their shit together and get that team back into the playoffs.

Jazz fans are underrated, when they're good... that building gets rocking.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

KingSpeed is like Mush from 'A Bronx Tale'.

 

[PDXFonz]

I feel like I always see Harden choke in clutch situations...

 

[KingSpeed]

Darn it

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Anyone else think Dwight Howard was a sissy last night and should of played thru the pain of a bruised knee?
Josh Smith choked at the end of the game. Two TO's that were his fault and some bad defense.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah but Jazz fans are so stupid that it is hard to give them their just due. It would drive me crazy how ballistic they would get every time Stockton fell down. They honestly could not see that he was flopping. All fans do it a little, but these fans were nuts.

They are loud though.

This. I have no respect for Jazz fans.

I never saw the Stockton years, I just remember them being a bitch to play when they had prime D-Will, Boozer, ak47, okur, Millsap and Korver

 

[KingSpeed]

For the record, I wanted JR Smith over Telfair.

Link?

 

[KingSpeed]

Here's a thread where I lament not drafting him

http://www.basketballforum.com/port...didnt-we-draft-j-r-smith-instead-telfair.html

Can't find the draft thread where I said we should draft him.

Holy shit there are a lot of people at that viewing party in Cleveland
