If Hollins coaches the Lakers we need to un-retire his number.
 
“@daldridgetnt: Whoa: Dave Joerger, per source, has declined the Timberwolves' offer and will remain coach in Memphis"

Ah, to be a Rube right about now.
 
This is looking like the FT disparity is going to be close to what it was in game 1 between pacers/heat. Difference is that the spurs arent playing tentative and scared

I don't see Kobe Bryant wanting to spend his final few years playing a slow-down offense and physical defense.

Great, he leaves and becomes hated like he should have been all along. Win win.

(I'll exit dream land, just give me a moment to enjoy that.)

LOL!!!!! That is FANTASTIC. You hardly ever see coaches outright decline.

So I guess ill start taking apologies tomorrow from all the people who mercilessly mocked me, called me stupid, said I was not a true fan, etc for saying Portland was not a true contender this year and Indiana was.

Just cause some refuse to see reality, doesn't make another poster a troll

HAHAHAHA Pacers are getting punked by the Heat. What are we apologizing for? Pacers barely got by sub500 Hawks and 5 seeded Wiz. Blazers would've beaten those teams. And we beat the Spurs once. Just like the Pacers have beaten the Heat ONCE. If the Pacers were contenders, so were the Blazers. You're not a true fan and I am mocking you for saying these Pacers were ever any better than the Blazers. The Rockets would've swept the Pacers.

He's gotten many comments on this and hasn't responded to any of it. That is a prime example of... well, you know.

Yeah, I mean we beat a 54 win team. Without HCA!! Indiana hasn't done anything remotely as impressive. I guess he refuses to see reality.

That full court steal and dunk in the 3rd quarter was like watching a great HS senior against the JV team. I felt sorry for the Pacers and the rest of the NBA on that play.

What was worse is he didn't even want to do it lol he was like looking for an open man then said fuck it and dunked.
 
I only watched part of the first half. My god the Pacers are a stupid team. Great athletes. Dumb players.
 
Yeah, it ALMOST makes me miss the bad boys who would've put LBJ on his ass more than a few times.

All i know is Paul George is preparing for game 5 and LaMarcus Aldridge is hanging out at strip clubs with Dave Chappelle. Seems to me that one of those guys plays for a contender and one doesn't

The Pacers won 2 more games than the Blazers in the East, and went to 7 games with a 38-win team. They are now getting hammered by Miami. They may be in the ECF, but they sure don't look like a contender to me.

The Pacers were 18-12 against the West. They are a 'contender' only because they play in the weak East.

I wonder how the Blazers would've done in the Eastern conference, and how the Pacers would've done in the Western.

Not saying it takes away from anything you or king are talking about, but it got me thinking/wondering. The Pacers seem to be a ghost of a team now (again), but they've gone through that in each of the series so far. The only problem is, they're not playing crappy teams now, they're playing the 2 time defending champs.

Furthermore, based on their win%'s against each conference, if the schedules were flipped, the Blazers would have been a 58-win team and a #1 seed in the east, and the Pacers would have been a 53-win #5 seed in the west.

Someone who has more interest in doing this, should find out what the Blazers record would be in the East, based on their respective records vs the E and W.

Maybe it won't matter (and since I don't really want to take the time to find out, rep points to whoever does!)

HA! score! That's exactly what I just asked for! props to you!
 
The Pacers are contenders because they are in the east. They would be in the Clipper catagory if they were in the West. But that doesnt really matter since they aren't in the west.
