Official NBA Thread 2013-2014 ed.

well thanks to the massive vaginas of Amir Johnson and Kevin Martin I lost in the semi-finals, don't get to repeat.

Looks like the Pacers were faking it all season after all, a Heat official mentioned not trading Haslem and that what is happening to the Pacers is why they didn't ... I thought they were full of shit ... but to be honest maybe Granger was the glue that held that locker room together ...

The Thunder are playing like shit (besides my man Ibaka) ... so um ... what is this, Clippers or Spurs vs Heat in Lebron's 3 peat?

 

I don't see the heat getting the 3 peat. Sadly, I don't see OKC coming out of the west with the way they are playing right now. I don't know if that will change, it could, but they look like junk right now.

 

OKC will be fine, I think they win it this year.

 

Not the way they are playing now. Durant is off, way off. Kid better get right.

 

he had to have a dry spell, it wont last long.

 

a dry spell while scoring 25+ a game ... it's not his numbers that are the problem, it's his dominance that is. He's not taking over games the way he should.

 

you have to look at his FG%, if most of his points are coming at the line, then he is probably in a dry spell in all aspects, including taking over the game. But he defers too much when Westbrook is on the floor.

 

I watched the Houston game closely the other night and I noticed 2 things. #1 He was ice cold and #2 On most occasions he made the right play by passing out of a double or triple team. There are enough shooters on that team that he should be able to find someone open that can put the biscuit in the basket. Just wasn't happening. Westbrook didn't play that game either. In the end it was close and that is where OKC needed him to just take over and win it but he just didn't have the gas or the initiative or whatever, something was just off.

 

They can't beat OKC. San Antonio's only hope is that the Clippers take care of them if it lines up that way. I think OKC is going to piss away the 2 seed and I'm not sure how the chips fall if that happens.
