Where the F*%k is the 2014 NBA Thread?!?!!

Mavs have not played well.....still working Rondo into the mix....Amare got 14 in 11 minutes in his debut last night.....all that being said they are only 1/2 game out of Batmon's blonde wig

Do u still really think they are are a top 3 team?





Houston, Portland, and The Clippers are going to have 5 game losing streaks?


With OKC entering the mix, alongside the Undead Spurs?





I know you have to stay w/ your prediction out of honor, but do you think Dallas is going to really become that much better?
 
They are 1/2 game out of 3rd as of today.....I think they can play better than they have thus far....what's with 5 game losing streaks??

Looking beyond the numbers, do u really think Dallas can sit at the same table as Golden State and Memphis?





1/2 games and all that shit is what happens every year in the West.





Does your eye test think after all this time they are going to put on some afterburners in the second half and become an elite team?



 
No....I don't think they are as good as GS and Memphis....I do think they can hang with the 4-5 teams in that next level down and the addition of Rondo and Amare coming off the bench might allow them to rise to the top of that group.....do you think that is unfathomable?

At this point, Yes.





Theres Top 4 then there's the Bottom 4.





Going from 6 to 3 and staying, is hoping LAC, Portland, Houston will give up alot of ground or severe injuries will occur.





If you havent been playing elite how does one become elite, with 30 games left?
 
That doesn't make any sense........who below Memphis and GS have been playing elite? Somebody has to take that 3 spot and I do think Dallas is better than Houston who is #3 right now.





And how is 1/2 game separating 4 teams "a lot of ground"?





You do realize that they are tied with Portland and have more wins that Houston and LAC?
 
batmon said:If Dallas is better why are they at 6 and Houston is 3?




Mainly because they have added Rondo and Amare since the beginning of the year and we handled Houston easily Friday night.





Bottom line is I have my Batman photo ready to go.
 
Portland might be fading.





I hope not.





OKC, Houston, Mavericks any of them could finish a head of Portland.





Today my prediction is Cleveland Warriors final.


I do not think this SAS's or the Hawk's year.

Yuck...





At least GSW has been together, but I'd ABSOLUTELY dont wanna see Cleveland leapfrog Atlanta or even Washington.
 
raps don't seem deep enough to take the east down... but I can definitely see them near the finish line if they get hot down the stretch.





i feel like giving you all my league pass password just so you can watch a damn raptor game
 
batmon said:For a quick moment, it seemed like Roy Hibbert was going to be a legit Old School, Shot blocking, Rebounding + Putback, Elbow jumper and In the Post throwback.





No dice.




I really liked his game. True throwback.

Definitely not the Spurs' year. They're going to be clinging to the 8th spot for dear life, and if they manage to hold onto it, they're gonna get bounced by the Warriors in the first round. The championship hangover has been particularly rough: Ginobili has good games here and there but mostly is playing poorly, Parker has been inexplicably mediocre, Leonard still hasn't regained his form after the hand injury and the conjunctivitis, Danny Green suddenly can't throw the ball in the ocean from a boat...shit is so ugly, they lost to the freakin' Jazz last night to push their losing streak to three games.
 
Hey Vintage, did you see the Raptors game last nite? The Pelicans are a frustratingly inconsistent team, but it seems we actually play better when the stars go down and the blue collar dudes step in. I thought for sure we were toast with three of our six out, then our long haired white boy Babbit goes nuts.





As for the rest of you Western conf. dudes....


I see yall.


Pelicans slowly creeping up to the eight, I have probably misguided faith.





BatBoy, please to tell me to be serious and dash my hopes with pithy minimalism.
 
I didn't call you boy, I called you BatBoy. Understand?





That was minimal but not pithy. Bummer.





Who wants to talk basketball?
 
Rock,





I was actually disappointed in the Mavs the two times I saw them on TV this year playing the Warriors. I was hoping that the return of Chandler would mean their team defense would go up, but it appears they're all offense and no defense, at least in the two games against the Warriors. Chandler rebounded like crazy though.
