NBA 2014-2015
- Thread starter Eboue
- Start date
Expected but still sad.
All he had to do was play Lil B in a game of 21 SMDH.
feck Lil B and the curse.
so the Rockets getting closer to that 2nd seed, only half a game between them and Memphis.
Potential Heat v Cleveland Eastern Conference first round match up in the playoffs.... should be fun.

Right on schedule, the Spurs look absolutely breathtaking.
Greg Pop surely is the SAF of the NBA. Never fails to create a highly functional winning machine.

He sure is. Having quality veterans like Duncan, Ginobili and Parker around can't be a coincidence. SAF and Pop must be of the same mould.
New Orleans only 0.5 games back of Oklahoma City now.
I still seem to write them off every season, don't know how they do it.
Having Westbrook carry them can't work forever. Still think they'll get there though.
I never understand why people write Spurs off. I mean, how many NBA Championships do they need to win with this core group? Some teams are fortunate enough to have big names take their talents to South Beach. Spurs are one of the only major teams that have a coach who cares more about bringing in players who have strong team fundamentals than others who rely on individual brilliance to win them championships.
Never known a team like Spurs to win so much, only to be regarded so little time and time again. At some point, with the all the Championships amassed since Pop has been in charge, you have to cease being surprised when they win. Which is why I thought Pop was a lot like SAF. Always willing to bring in the Europeans and South Americans to compliment the home talent to get the balance right for a brilliant team.
Spurs have picked up the form a little late this season.....
Spurs have pretty much always been a top 3 favourite throughout the past 15 years....with the exception of a couple of barren years. Don't many who know their Basketball actually write them off come the crunch time.
They can have the spot to be honest, I'd rather get a lottery pick. No point getting to the playoffs, Warriors will sweep us anyway.
So New Orleans lost last night putting them 1 game back with 6 to go. But they do have the tiebreaker.
Oklahoma City Schedule
@ Houston
v. San Antonio
v. Sacramento
@ Indiana
v. Portland
@ Minnesota
New Orleans Schedule
v. Golden State
@ Memphis
v. Phoenix
@ Houston
@ Minnesota
v. San Antonio
Removing similar games leaves this:
Oklahoma City Schedule
v. Sacramento
@ Indiana
v. Portland
New Orleans Schedule
v. Golden State
@ Memphis
v. Phoenix
Basically if OKC just wins against the teams they should (Indiana Minnesota Sacramento) New Orleans needs to beat 2 of SA HOU GS and MEM. So, it's not going to happen unless Golden State tanks against New Orleans.

OKC's at home v the Rockets.
In an expected turn, Miami are now suddenly out of the playoffs (after horrible terrible losses against Milwaukee and Detroit), and their playoffs chances depend hugely on today's game at Indiana.
It's a second game of a back-to-back for Miami and George should make a comeback for the Pacers in this game too. Can Wade's knees hold up?

This season is cursed.
Leonard has been ridiculous lately. 7 steals and 26 points (11-17) against Golden State.
Harden played like the MVP yesterday against OKC, this guy is a beast.
I read a tweet yesterday that no one but Lebron in 2008 and MJ in 1989 and Bird had the same numbers in PTS/AST/REB/Steals in a season, he's having an amazing season and if the Rockets win their 2 games against the Spurs they'd most likely finish 2nd seed thanks to him and he would take the MVP title.
Yeah he's really carrying that Rockets team and as great and enjoyable as Curry is, there is no doubt that GS has a much more talented and deep squad compared to Houston.
What's the longest made shot everyone has seen in NBA?
I think Irvings last night was the longest I've seen, although I can't say I watch that many games.
Pelicans beat Gs while OKC lose to the spurs. The playoff race will go down to the wire. I hope the Pelicans would make the series with GS more competitive than the Thunder could.
It's going down to the wire both in the West and the East.
And by the way, just noticed, believe it or not SA are still in contention for the 2nd seed in the West. They just need to win their remaining 4 games (two of them against Houston and two winnable games against Phoenix and NO), and then only need Memphis to lose one or two games of their remaining games (who still play both GS and the Clippers away).

Van Gundys make me laugh.
Nice to see Rose back tonight, even though Bulls cost me money!
We (Grizzlies) lost some form after the all star break, but if we win the remaining 3 we should be able to clinch the division and 2nd seed. Our reward for that? Dallas, then probably Spurs in the 2nd round. I hate the West.
The standings in the West could change dramatically if SA beats Houston again on Friday. Either Memphis or Houston could very well end up 6th in the West.
Memphis are limping to the finish line now, but they still have two very tough games remaining.
I think you would beat Dallas but the Spurs would have too much experience IMO.
We split the season series 2-2, however one of our wins went to 3OT (in their court), and Leonard was injured. He is the X-factor for their team. But yes, right now they are the favorites to come out of the west.
Utah have been a thorn in our side, but Klay Thompson has been in a slump recently, and the Clippers have no options off the bench. A 3 win streak is unlikely, yet possible.
What a game by Tim Duncan last night. 29 pts, 10 rebs, 1 stl and 3 blks, including the game-winning block on Harden. He is truly the Ryan Giggs of NBA.
Like I said before, Pop is SAF and SA is Manchester United of the NBA. That's how I always looked at them.
By the way, Houston are suddenly 6th now with 2 games to go. SA coming back out of nowhere.
