Official NBA Thread L: Spurs vs. _______ Finals Edition

[The Captain]

If it was just a straight "win the series" bet, you should have $20 you previously didn't have within a couple of weeks.

I'd rather see Gerald Wallace on the Rockets. I mean, he can hit some threes and would thrive on a faster and younger team than the Nets.

Gerald Wallace shot 28% from the arc this year, and was just generally garbage on offense.

Much more clever title suggestions welcome.

"We're not just another NBA Thread." Thanks Lebron for your inspiration with your taking offense to a guy calling you just another team.

Probably just to announce that they're re-acquiring Emeka Okafor

[Unocal 76]

Who do you think will win the Draft Lottery tomorrow?

I say the Suns- Nerlens Noel would benefit from their terrific medical staff.

Well, being that Frank Vogel never actually said that, if LeBron needs to dig around for motivation for his team to play well, well more power to him. Vogel even had to make a friggin announcement that that's NOT what he said, a reporter put words into his mouth.

If Miami was as good as he says they are, they wouldn't need extra motivation, they would just quit taking things out of context for bulletin board material and just play the damn game. I swear, that's what bugs me the most about Lebron, the spotlight ALWAYS has to be on him, even when it's a non-story.

Apparently the sneaky bastard only meant twenty CENTS. Oh well, I'll still have twenty extra cents in my pocket in a few weeks.

And yet I'd still rather see him on OKC than Kendrick Perkins.

We'll see.

Too much overconfidence is never a good thing.

And the Clippers decided to get serious.

Until they somehow hire a coach that was worse.

I think I can hear Phil Jackson's music off in the distance. Which would be amazing just for the BRV hate-rant it would inspire.

Jackson leading the Clippers is just so drama filled that I want... no... MUST see it happen. I know a couple people off-hand that would have rage fueled meltdowns.

I'll never understand why the NBA relies on a lottery to decide the future of the terrible teams.

[stealthamo]

f***. The Pistons never get a top three pick.


Either the Magic, Cavaliers, or Wizards will get the #1 pick.

[stealthamo]

2013 NBA Draft Order:


1. Cleveland Cavaliers
2. Orlando Magic
3. Washington Wizards
4. Charlotte Bobcats
5. Phoenix Suns
6. New Orleans Pelicans
7. Sacramento Kings
8. Detroit Pistons
9. Minnesota Timberwolves
10. Portland Trail Blazers
11. Philadelphia 76ers
12. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Toronto Raptors)
13. Dallas Mavericks
14. Utah Jazz

Wizards get the #3 pick...which should be for Otto Porter.

Interesting lol.

[domrep]

As a Wizards fan I'm ecstatic. A terrible year to have the top pick and the Wizards, IMO will probably take Porter. A bright future with Wall, Beal and Otto.
