NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

Fucking Brooks, has them selling out to stop the big men except they still can't stop them so Gasol is having his way and Conley is getting open look after open look.

lol @ Derek Fisher outperforming Kevin Martin, great trade!

38. And he's been great! (As sad as that is to admit.)

Well if the refs are going to let them just hack and trip Durant down the stretch then this is a waste of time.

Seems like a key to this serie is how well Martin and Jackson perform.

Some of this inside the NBA shit is actually funny.

The Thunder lost that game for 3 reasons:

- Scott Brooks (why the hell is Thabeet getting so many minutes? If they had a better plan than "hack zbo or gasol if they get the ball down low" they wouldn't have so much foul trouble, also allowing Perkins to guard in the backcourt is ridicuous)
- Ibaka (great team defender, fucking awful 1 on 1 defender, super weak around the basket, no feel for position, can't box out for shit)
- Perkins (just plain awful)

That crew is hilarious. Way better than anything we get for NFL season.

You forgot Kevin Martin no showing. They can't survive him no showing games.

Even with Kevin Martin no showing, the Thunder win if Ibaka and Perkins show any legitimate paint protection in the final minutes of the game and don't allow Memphis a shit load of offensive boards over the entire game. Remember that possession where Ibaka just jacked off down low and let Memphis get 4 offensive rebounds (zbo got 2 by hustling and out-working Ibaka in the post) in the same possession to finally score and take a lead in the 2nd? It was disgusting.

Also, Thabo has sucked ass this post season. His defense has been bad and his shooting has been even worse. He is also a guaranteed 2 turnovers a game at a minimum, including stepping out of bounds with the ball like a chump.

The one that no showed the finals?

If only the Thunder had this like reliable 6th man that could step in and fill Westbrook's shoes.

Don't get me started on the brilliance of the Harden trade. He wants a max deal, so we trade him with a year left on his contract instead of paying him 5.6 million for his final year and possibly getting nothing for him if he decides to walk. Instead of nothing we get Kevin Martin (for 12.6 million) and a lot of other stuff we aren't even using and get fucked in the playoffs when Westbrook goes down. Also, if we don't trade Harden, Houston doesn't make it to the playoffs and Westbrook never gets injured by that moron Beverly. Should have signed Harden to a max deal and tried to win a championship instead of conceding it to the Heat. Think winning a championship wouldn't have made enough money to pay off the luxury tax hit?

Don't watch many Eastern Conference games. Guess is Miami by 6 or so.

Spurs will win by 10+ tonight. With Duncan and Splitter on the floor GS can't count on 40+ from Curry. He'll get shutdown early and GS won't get in the game. That'll be the rest of the series IMO minus game 3 in Oakland when the Spurs decide to play like shit or Popovich decides it'd be funny to sit Tony, Manu, Timmie just to piss Stern off. Spurs in 5.

These refs... geez

Walking back to the huddle and cussing is technical worthy.
