OT: Grizzlies impressively squeaking past horribly injured teams

[PapaG]

You're starting to piss me off.

Just now? You're an insincere joker as a poster and a proven liar. Where is the link to my question?

 

[KingSpeed]

And what, pray tell, are they?

They disposed of the Heat in 6 games. They know.

They're only missing Dirk and JET...

You're fooling yourself if you think that the Heat team that lost to Dallas in 2011 is as good as this year's edition. Or if you think Kidd/Chandler are as good now as then. Or even if you think 'Melo this year is as good as Dirk 2011.

Your logic is weak tonight.

My logic is STRONG. With proof:

Just posted two Knicks vs Heat links. Posted the wrong second one initially, but check them out. In the first game, Melo and Smith had off games and they still DESTROYED the Heat.

 

[KingSpeed]

Carmelo didn't even play in the second game. The Knicks have the Heat's number.

You had a question? I guess I don't notice children clamoring around me while the popsicle man's driving down the street playing his tune.

Improve your behavior and try for your dime again tomorrow.

Zach's playoff stats really stack up nicely against Aldridge's playoff stats.

 

[BBert]

Durant was amazing for most of the game. Then in the fourth, with the defense keying on him, he couldn't hit. Shades of Nobitchy.

That slime Fisher stunk up the joint for most of the game. He hits a late three, and the announcers peed themselves praising him. Typical.

Odd thread, this one.

Go Griz. Please put the Zombie Sonics and their hillbilly fans in the trash, where they belong.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

A win is a win.

 

[Boise Blazer]

A win is a win.

I can only wish the Blazers had the chance to get "weak" playoff victories. Since when did the NBA start ranking wins???

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Durant is Clyde Drexler. LeBron is Jordan.

OKC = 90s Blazers.
Heat = 90s Bulls.

Actually a spot-on comparison.

 

[HailBlazers]

Haha, "horribly injured teams." The Clippers were at full strength for pretty much 5 of the 6 games they played against the Grizzlies. The only caveat was Griffin's ankle hurting in game six, in Paul Pierce fashion. He could still throw down reverse dunks, but his "ankle hurt," and somehow that's the reason they lost game six in a series where Griffin was dominated by Z-Bo throughout.

To quote Z-Bo:

"Banged up?" Randolph said of Griffin. "I'm banged up. You forgot about my ankle? Banged up. My ankle is as big as a balloon. Talk to the trainers. I'm getting treatment every day. It's the playoffs."

"Last year when I played in the playoffs, I wasn't 100 percent, but I was out there, so I had to be 100 percent," Randolph said. "It's the playoffs. It's a big-boy game."

Also, the Grizz were 2-1 against the Thunder with Westbrook...

Spot On. Zach has really grown up, listening to him speak last night he's really matured. Would take the modern day Z-Bo over the one we had, but atlas you gotta go through failures in life to reach success.

P.S. anybody who responds to Kingspeeds rants is getting played like a fiddle

Durant is Tracy McGrady with better teamates

Durant is much better than tmac. He is drexler and grant hill put together

Through his age 24 season (this year for kd) mcgrady had a better per, rb%, ast%, blk%, stl%, and a lower USG rate and to%

McGrady never made it past the first round in the playoffs as the team's leader. That's all you need to say to end this debate!

Umm, hence the " with better teammates" part of my first post you quoted

McGrady never had good teammates. He never had homecourt advantage in the first round. It's not like he was underachieving every year. He was a great player. Much better than Durcan't.

Wrong!!!! T-Mac lost twice with HCA

 

[KingSpeed]

Nope. He never had HCA. Not once. Look it up.

2007 NBA Playoffs - The Rockets were the 4th seed in the West and lost to the Jazz in 7. The Rockets had HCA in this series.

2008 NBA Playoffs - The same thin as the 2007 NBA playoffs, The Rockets were the 4th seed in the West and lost to the Jazz in 7. The Rockets had HCA in this series. The only difference was that Yao Ming was out for this series due to an injury.

And I agree - the T-Mac and Drexler comps fit well. I've always thought he was very "McGrady".

 

[Blaze01]

Ugh. They're so awful.

Awful?

lol....Both teams (OKC & Mem) even with significant injuries (OKC) are markedly better than the Blazers....

You are aware that Kingspeed is trolling right?

Kingspeed has achieved Mixum level on the ability to create trollish threads that will get significant posts. The difference between the two are Erics can be humorous.

I stand partially corrected. The Rockets had the #5 seed both of those years but had HCA or having the better record. Also, the 2008 team lost in 6 games. Thanks for educating me though.

One team wins the championship and everyone else fails. The Thunder and Grizzlies, who have no chance of winning the title, are just as big of failures as the Blazers except the Blazers will get a better pick. Suck to be fans of the Grizzlies and Thunder. Horrible teams with no hope of improving.
