Well,

happy to set you right Indiana...

If it worked for Brooklyn, it should work for you.

Pacers - Hawks
Heat - Bobcats

what's the point
Avoiding the bulls/nets in the second round
If the Bulls finish in the 3 seed that isn't gonna be possible.

But it looks like Indiana has locked up that first round bye aka ATL

Brandon Jennings is such a punk man. One of the few dudes in the league who truly irritates me. He's like a less talented/less passionate AI

I'm not even going to curse anymore.

Dude snitched on me for cursing even. Before I just didn't like you. Now I can't respect you.

And how did the Thunder lose to Indy at home I didn't get to see the game. They bench everyone at half or something.?

how can you put Jennings and AI in the same sentence? :lol

Jennings wouldnt even be allowed to hold AI's compression shorts brah
 
I'll never doubt the Mavs/Dirk again. If you guys think they're getting swept LOL

Why do y'all think folks are doubting Dirk or the Mavs? I've heard and given nothing but praise to them.

The reality is, they aren't better than OKC in any aspect besides coaching. Thunder's offense/defense/two best players are better than the Mavs and they're younger.

That's impossible to overcome in a 7 game series.

they werent supposed to come out the West and def WERENT supposed to beat Miami

just sayin

Believe it or not. I called the mavericks winning the NBA title that season.

They were too deep to not win. Once they put LAL out with the sweep I already knew it.

:hat Dirk in that finals though....
 
I wouldve never thought derozan would be a better nba player than oj mayo :{ scrub

Hindsight is always 20/20 and I'm saying this with hindsight in mind,

DeMar was clearly the better pro prospect. Had a defined position, had better size for position, and is much more athletic than OJ. OJ got to the NBA primarily being a difficult shot taker and maker. He took those difficult shots because he was too slow and small to beat people off the dribble, relegating him to taking tough shots. That only amplifies playing against the most elite athletes in the world. Even on the amateur ranks, OJ took mostly jumpshots and never was a high volume free throw guy.

Conversely, Demar (Who went to the same HS as my mom. Tarbabes :lol ) had size, scored in a lot more variety of ways, and was / is a supreme athlete. Demar in HS was a monster. 6'7, smash on your head, could post up really well, midrange game crazy, In essence, he had qualities that would allow him to be a much better pro.
 
Nobody honestly thinks that Charlotte will eat Indy, do they? Honestly, like if you had to bet a G on the series, who are you taking?

:{ oj was my guy, i expected a harden type career from him

Charlotte isn't gonna make noise against Miami or Indiana.

Now...if the Wizards fell to 7th it might make a series interesting. Still wouldn't win but it'd be competitive.

Bruh, who you have no idea :lol

that's my guy still, but looking back I had far too high expectations for him as a player. Undersized 2's who aren't athletic and don't get to the free throw line normally don't fair that well in the NBA. I was thinking he would have a James Harden type career too but Ben Gordon / Randy Foye probably would have been more appropriate. Also, I didn't know expect him to be a poor playmaker at the NBA level nor did I expect him to have bouts of being out of shape and low on confidence.

Charlotte has a better chance against MIA than IND. Kemba can cook Chalmers and nobody on Miami can stop Big AL.  But they still don't have a chance to win more than one maybe two games in a series
