NBA 10'/11' Thread.

Players trying to play the Phil Jackson mind games and trying to get into the heads of the Lakers. Amare and Perkins both go on record saying Gasol is soft. Lololol. Amare calling someone else soft? Cmon. Gasol out rebounds both those punks and plays better D than Amare. Perkins doesn't look that great without Garnett btw. What a bunch of faggots. If you can't beat them, leave the conference. Right Amare? Try playing some D before you talk shit.

Also, does anybody else notice only Euro players are called out for being "soft"? I don't see players calling out Bosh. Or Rashard Lewis. The guy is 6'10 and throws up desperation 3's all game. He also averages like 4 rebounds a game. Where's the soft label for injury riddled Boozer? These guys are more finesse than bangers. But they aren't European, so they dodge the label. Seems a little racist to me. Just another double standard in the NBA. Like Garnett. He's a thug. But if he was white, he'd be a lunchpail, old school type player. It's laughable, but I digress.

Who says you have to be tough to win anyway? I bet Amare would trade his self proclaimed toughness for Gasol's championship rings.

Great game between the Knicks and 76ers tonight. 76ers almost came back from a huge deficit. The 6 and 7 seeds and 2 and 3 seeds should be interesting battle to watch as the season winds down.

Chicago is loving the fact that Boston/Miami will meet in the 2nd round after tough first round, potentially upset matchups with New York and Philadelphia.

Lakers lose 3 in a row. Looks like San Antonio will finish 1st and L.A 2nd. OKC is a game behind Dallas for 3rd. I hope Dallas gets their shit together. I don't want to see OKC in the 2nd round.

Denver wins again. They've locked up the 5th spot. Memphis, New Orleans and Portland will battle it out for the 6,7,8 seeds, but does it really matter?? I think Memphis won the season series against San Antonio, but I wouldn't put money on them in the playoffs. Portland could win a couple home games, but they'll be an easy out IMO. And N.O doesn't have enough scoring punch to do anything. 5 game sweep for them.

The East is a little easier. Chicago/Indiana and Orlando/Atlanta are both guarenteed. The 2,3 seed matchups are really dependant on who finishes 6 and 7. I don't think Miami wants New York and Philly could push Boston to the brink.

It's going to be a good playoff this year. A lot better than we expected in the offseason.

Miami need to get their big man situation together not now...

not even now...






...but RIGHT DAMN NOW! No interior presence is killin' right now! rwill25 tried to convince me a while back that the Heat's bigs were gonna step up and help take things to the next level. Now, I hear their looking to sign Eddy Curry!

EDDY FUCKIN' CURRY!!!!!!!!!!!

How much confidence do you have in your current front line if you're looking toward someone who has played 10 games in 3 years? What is Chris Bosh getting paid for as a PF? I said it before, and I'll say it again: The Heat big men are TRASH. Dampier is WNBA material at best (shout out to Shaq). Ilgauskas and Howard are too fuckin' old to be consistently effective. Chris Bosh has decided to only shoot jumpers from here on out. Shit's pathetic. Drew Gooden outscored Dampier, Ilgauskas, and Anthony by himself.



Lemme say that one more time: DREW FUCKIN' GOODEN had more points than the 'small' 3 combined!!!!! And I don't wanna hear no bullshit D-Wade injury excuses, or ref bad calls, or conspiracy rants. The playoffs are walking up the driveway and you can't get far like this, period. Miami better get this shit together now. If I was a Heat fan, I would have no words for my disgust for some of the losses their getting handed. SMDH.

I think we all could agree Miami is the most watched, scrutinized team in the NBA. So, when we see a flaw there's going to be some overreaction. Miami's bigs has been an issue for the Heat all season. But since Miami's 9-8 start, they still got the best record in the NBA, so they've proven that they can get by despite this issue.

Now, when you look at Miami's potential match-ups in the playoffs, they could play the 76ers and Boston in the first two rounds. Miami can get past the 76ers despite any size issues. And with Perkins and Shaq not being a factor for Boston... Miami could certainly make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Didn't get to watch the game, but D-Wade not playing is the reason why the Miami Heat lost. You talking about 30% of Miami's production.

Miami had no problems playing the Bucks in the past. Again, another overreaction.

The Heat are supposed to be able to beat the Milwaukee fuckin' Bucks... D-Wade or no D-Wade. You gonna sit there and tell me the Heat aren't supposed to beat them???? At home???????

C'mon man, enough excuses. Enough bullshit. They been on this playing down to their competition road for a minute now. There is no way in hell losses to Cleveland and Milwaukee are excusable when you're trying to move up in the standings in the last 2 weeks of the season. I swear, all I hear is bullshit excuse after bullshit excuse from Heat fans. Call it what it is.

:1orglaugh This is pure Heat hatred!

Where are your Lakers, Mavs, Spurs, Celtics rants? Because if you haven't noticed, they're all playing like shit now. But you want to focus on a game, with a team, without one of the best players in the NBA???

I'm sorry, I could care less about that game. :dunno:

Heat FAN hatred is more like it. Every Heat fan I encounter does one of two things:

Tell me the Bulls ain't goin' nowhere (to be expected).

Make bullshit excuses for the Heat.

Yes the Lakers, Mavs, Spurs, and Celts are all playing shitty right now, but their fans seem to understand the issues that need addressing. Heat fans have become so dilusional over the course of the season, it''s ridiculous. I personally LOVE the fact that Miami is failing, so I have no hate for the team. Other than that, I admittedly don't have a whole lotta love for LBJ. The same problems I pointed out months ago are the same ones now, and the same dumbasses look at me like I'm crazy.

This is probably the most excitement you've had since the Bulls' 1998 season, so I'll let you dwell on the Bulls' success so far.

Just soak it alllll in.... soak it alllll in.

Not really, because I'm an NBA fan. I'm excited Bulls win or no win... get that one right. As far as the Bulls go, they given me plenty to be excited over in the past few years. Upsetting the Heat in the playoffs a few years back, the greatest first round series ever vs. the Celtics amongst others. Am I more excited now? You know it.

To all those that rubbed MJ's departure in my face when I told it wouldn't be long til' the Bulls will be back in contention: Enjoy those sour grapes.

For me this is the most excitement I've had for the Bulls in a long time. I was only 8 when the Bulls last won a championship so I kind of remember all of the excitement then. Sure the Bulls have made the playoffs the last couple of years but they really weren't going to make any noise, although that series they had with Boston was the best playoff series I've seen in a long time.

The Eastern Conference playoffs are gonna be crazy this year. No matchup is a gimme, and they all have the potential to go 5 or 6 games at least.

You could say the same for the west. Remember when everyone thought L.A and Miami would win 70 games and have a cakewalk to the Finals? Lol. Now neither are even guarenteed 2nd seeds. Great season so far. Playoffs are going to be insane. :bowdown:
