2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

It's been real Memphis. I think the thing that irritates me the most about Steven Adams is his blank completely unconcerned look on his face as he's doing something that could be considered dirty. But ZBo didn't help himself looking like he was going after Adams with a shank

I think people dont like him cuz he looks like the evil rival basketball player in teen wolf 80's movie

You watch teen wolf?

Welcome to the club

 

[hymen man]

heard Z-Bo got suspended..

that really sucks in the biggest game of the year (thus far) for them. Hope the Thunder can close it out but they have been very inconsistent lately.

 

[Peep Game]

nah. the rockets' run shall end today 

You SN, location, sig, and L.e.$. avy have me so confused

 

[bonafide hustla]

i'm only talking about a couple games. to prove i'm wrong, you reference 2 games.


KD isn't shooting well, but the system is at large to blame. the same system he flourished in during the regular season.


it's the playoffs, you're not going to always get the ball in comfortable spots. he's the league MVP and scoring champ, this shouldn't even be an excuse for him at this point. someone tell Tony Allen to ease off KD. he's not letting him get the ball in a comfortable rhythm!

he's had 2 of his worst games of the entire season in this series, admitted to having tony allen in his head, and his body language on court hasn't been the killer we saw in january. at times he's looked like the ghost that lebron did against the mavericks.

irony.

1. i referenced him being the leading scorer. I assumed you knew that meant over the course of the season. multiple regular seasons. also look up leading playoff scorers since 2010 KD is 1 or 2. so obviously he gets shots off during the regular season and both the playoffs. if u want to minimize your sample size to this series, again you're off base he only had 2 scoring games under 30 this series alone.

2. just because they have had success doesn't mean they're maximizing it. I personally think they shoulda got miami in 2012. I don't think their approach to the game has ever been good. also the first half of this season is the best numbers he and his teammates (sans a hurt Westbrook) have put up. so is he flourishing more in their current system or in the system with him as facilitator?

3. sure you don't get all the shots you want but the elite guys stay in rythym and turn up when it's time to rise to the occasion. Mike got his high post touch pretty much all the time. Kobe gets to his spots at will. Bron gets layups at will despite being dared to shoot. those guys were all facilitators first which KD is not afforded the same luxury.

i think i might hang a spurs jersey above my bed so i can fall asleep easier 

 

[bonafide hustla]

Look at KD out here playing hide and seek from his point guards, at home, in a playoff game (game 5). He so efficient

you got Thunder season seats and don't realize this is nothing new. literally isolation balls. they've done this a lot in the past. the only time they didn't was with Westbrook out.

I legit hope more fans like you drive KD out. Westbrook will def flourish and y'all can see what that team looks like.

that zbo suspension was busch league. won't call conspiracy but eh. they could have found a way to deem it flagrant and let the man play game 7. despite the stats or whatever that have been posted I'm not trying to watch a zbo-less grizzlies team. Brooks should be ahead of the game matchup wise. Memphis's size down lineup should be food if Brooks counters the lineups properly.

DIRK.
