Western Conference Finals are indeed the real NBA Finals.

[midnightpulp]

Lol at the dipshit Heat and Mav fans (who inexplicably hopped on the Heat bandwagon because of their :cry GNSF hatred :cry) who thought Miami's ISO-Monkey-Hero ball would "wax the ass" of the Spurs (or Thunder). Their defense isn't really all that great either. It simply looks good by virtue of being in the shitty Eastern Conference.

I like Miami, but they execute like a bunch of monkeys playing pickup ball in the hood (and so does Boston for that matter but at least they have an excuse since they're ancient).

[Goran Dragic]

I agree completely. This is the conference finals and it has two teams that miss wide open shots and don't get back on defense at crucial moments. It's as sloppy as it gets.

[Latarian Milton]

we in da same situation as them spurs now tbh :cry must steal one back in game 6 or we'll go home

[midnightpulp]

I agree completely. This is the conference finals and it has two teams that miss wide open shots and don't get back on defense at crucial moments. It's as sloppy as it gets.

Yep. Lol at Rondo standing around like an idiot watching the ball instead of boxing out Wade. Lol at the "great" Miami defense too lazy to sprint back on defense in a fast break situation. Lol at all the shitty ISO ball from both teams.

Just ugly, ugly basketball all around.

[Goran Dragic]

Yup. An over-the-hill Garnett has completely dominated the Eastern Conference playoffs because of how bad the play is :lol

[Frenzy]

Boston.....I...I....wow... Boston

[ElNono]

called it :lol

[midnightpulp]

lol op, either boston or miami would wax your ass and you won't even get the chance to be there because okc takes you out tomorrow and probably goes on to win it all

Lol at thinking that shitty pickup ISO ball shit would do shit against the Spurs.

Now Boston would "wax that ass?" :lmao

You weren't saying that when they were getting taken to 7 by the shitty 76ers. Now all of sudden they're a juggernaut because Spoelstra's retarded coaching is making Boston look better than they really are :lmao

[Reck]

LOL Venti riding the wrong bandwagon. :lmao

[DMC]

we in da same situation as them spurs now tbh :cry must steal one back in game 6 or we'll go home
What do you expect, you have a pseudo-chink running your squad.

I still think the Heat's talent takes this series.

[midnightpulp]

but what i did call was, months ago, and all the way up until now that the spurs were overachieving and would lose to the thunder in 6. i'm one game away from being 100% correct about dem spurs :smokin

Yeah, the Spurs are likely going to lose to the team who was favored to win the Western Conference from the beginning of the season. Way to go out on a limb :tu

[Latarian Milton]

time must be tickin against them old fucks maybe that's why we're coming back & winning this series, while the spurs are fucking done :cry

celts will be tired as shit in game 6, just keep our hope alive NIGGAS

[cobbler]

Yeah, the Spurs are likely going to lose to the team who was favored to win the Western Conference from the beginning of the season. Way to go out on a limb :tu

But not at the end of the season. It was the Spurs title to lose.

We are just watching two monumental choke jobs in both conference finals.

Strange year...

[ElNono]

But not at the end of the season. It was the Spurs title to lose.

Bullshit. Some of us pointed out Spurs might not handle OKC. Plus the Spurs only held serve.

[midnightpulp]

it was quite the unpopular opinion around here whenever every spur fan and their mom was circle jerking to the idea that the spurs were unbeatable :lmao

but right, right, ya'll knew the thunder were going to win all along :cry

way to go out on a limb there tyson :cry

:lmao

Any reasonable person knew the Spurs would be in a dogfight with the Thunder, so just because your prediction was unpopular on a Spurs forum filled with homers, doesn't make it some profound example of basketball knowledge. It's not like the Thunder are on the level of the Utah Jazz and you called something no one else thought could happen.

You picked the slight underdog to win the series, so yeah, way to go out on a limb :tu

That said, lol at you thinking Miami's pickup street ball coached by a video coordinator would beat the Spurs.

:cry I hate GNSF soooo much any good team would "wax the Spurs ass" :cry

[ElNono]

Yep, that was the general consensus among 99.9% of spur fan around here and also dumbfucks like culburn..me and DMC were the only ones all along who were right bout dem spurs :smokin

well, I can quote myself stating otherwise...

[MavFan6488]

boston will win the finals. 2012 kg looks like 2004 kg, rondo has an unbelievable court vision and pierce is clutch as fuck. they are far more experienced than okc and they know this is probably their last chance to win a title together. celtics in 6.

[ElNono]

Heck, I even made the thread that the official NBA Finals started the first game of OKC-SAS... want me to bump it?

[ElNono]

me and dmchink are the true mf'in prophets tbh..predicted thunder in 6 and miami over thunder in the finals. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST when it happens niggas :smokin

:lol not hating on you, my nigga... just saying, don't drop me in the same bag...

[cobbler]

Bullshit. Some of us pointed out Spurs might not handle OKC. Plus the Spurs only held serve.

We shall see tomorrow night no?

When the team with the home court holds serve there is a 6.7% chance of the opposing team winning the series. When that team is on a 20 game unbeaten streak it's even more of a choke.

Spin it anyway you want. If Miami and the Spurs lose it is two monumetal choke jobs and will go down in history as such.

Good luck!

[ElNono]

We shall see tomorrow night no?

No. Some of us called it like it was: a dogfight. That's what we have. Tomorrow doesn't change that.

[midnightpulp]

me and dmchink are the true mf'in prophets tbh..predicted thunder in 6 and miami over thunder in the finals. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST when it happens niggas :smokin

Real talk. What do you see in Miami? Them having 2 of the best players in world aside, the team is massively flawed, especially the offense they run.

[cobbler]

No. Some of us called it like it was: a dogfight. That's what we have. Tomorrow doesn't change that.

Oh yeah, going fishing on a backdoor sweep on the heals of a 20 game winning streak is a real dogfight!

You are absolutely comical.

:downspin::downspin::downspin::downspin::downspin:

[Latarian Milton]

neither series is done yet imho, we're comin back kickin them green asses and make the finals this year, and eventually harvest da MF'N championship which is a LOCKED one for us

A cherry pick. What's that percentage between teams who are ostensible equals?

[ElNono]

Oh yeah, going fishing on a backdoor sweep on the heals of a 20 game winning streak is a real dogfight!

How many you win in a row doesn't mean shit. You don't get a trophy for that.

At least we made them adjust and work for the series, unlike their previous competition who bowed out. :lol

[Mugen]

I'm sorry, is this a thread about Murderball?

[ElNono]

I'm sorry, is this a thread about Murderball?

This is the thread about the real NBA Finals... SAS-OKC

[midnightpulp]

they are massively underachieving but will still find a way to overcome this abortion of competition, imo. if they do somehow manage to choke it to boston because of philibeaner, they okc will win it though. the fact that anyone considered the spurs favorites is just laughable to me though. they had as good a chance as boston, miami, okc, lakers, and bulls before rose went down, meaning their odds were pretty slim like i said all along.

Don't disagree with any of that. I was cautiously optimistic about the Spurs all year and even more so during the streak. The Lakers were my biggest worry, and after them, OKC, so I agree their odds to win the title were as good as any other of the contending teams.

[Mugen]

This is the thread about the real NBA Finals... SAS-OKC

oh ok. For some reason, i thought it was about murderball. hmm....

[midnightpulp]

Cobbler just wants to desperately call this a choke-job to deflect from the Lakers choke-job against OKC, which was the biggest choke of the year thus far. Up 7 with 2 minutes left and couldn't win the game. Then up 13, at home, with 9 minutes left and blew it.

Don't get me started.... The worst defensive team in the west, the Nuggets, taking them to 7 games :lol

lolwut? No choke compares to Memphis in Game 1

[midnightpulp]

Don't get me started.... The worst defensive team in the west, the Nuggets, taking them to 7 games :lol

I bet the odds for blowing two games in the same series in that fashion are way lower than 6.7%. It's gotta be like a 100 to 1.

[midnightpulp]

lolwut? No choke compares to Memphis in Game 1

Forgot about that one. :lol

[ElNono]

lolwut? No choke compares to Memphis in Game 1

co-sign... i almost forgot about that game :lol

[cobbler]

You guys are so sensitive! :lmao

The Lakers choked big time. I said so when they did it and I say so now. But the Lakers were not the favorite to win and still battled but yes eventually choked away two games. Big time monumental chokes. Facts are facts.

If the Spurs lose this series and especially if the lose tomorrow night it is and will always be considered a monumental choke as well. Does it take anything away from the Lakers choke. Not one single bit.

Difference is, I am man enough to accept it and you guys whine and obsess about my team and spin your loses. And it is oh so cute. Amusing to say the least!

Ohhhh and Mugen, you really need to up your game and get some new material. Grade school smack doesn't bode well for your intellectual prowess. :lmao

[ElNono]

You guys are so sensitive! :lmao

Sensitive about shit takes? No :lol


The Lakers choked big time. I said so when they did it and I say so now.

You just said last night that "a few bounces" and they move on. Now they choked big time? Which one is it? :lol


Difference is, I am man enough to accept it and you guys whine and obsess about my team and spin your loses. And it is oh so cute. Amusing to say the least!

You're not man enough to say one thing and stick with it :lol

The only thing legendary about you are your shitty takes and homerism :lol

[ElNono]

The Spurs are playing the NBA Finals. Of course it's a dogfight. cobbler can only watch while he wishes his team would still be playing for #17 :toast

:lmao

[cobbler]

You just said last night that "a few bounces" and they move on. Now they choked big time? Which one is it? :lol


Figure of speech moron. Ie. Kobe with the turnover to Durant. Blake and Kobe not connecting on the pass that went out of bounds. Blake missing the last second three. Gasol pussying by turning it over rather than taking it to the basket. But for a few plays it could have been completely different. Those were choke plays and what I was exactly referring to with the few bounces comment.

I know you are not the sharpest tool in the shed but jeeeeeeez. Whine and spin away Nono. It's what you do and it amuses me to no end! :lol

[midnightpulp]

It's not even worth discussing it with you why the Spurs potential loss to Thunder can't really be considered a choke-job, because you're intellectually dishonest. If you really knew basketball like you profess, you would see the Spurs have been simply outplayed.

Game 1: Spurs down by 9 going into the 4th. Took everything they have to rally back and win that game.

Game 2: OKC adjusted midway through the 3rd, putting Thabo on Parker, and cut a 22 point lead down to 6 in like 8 minutes.

Game 3: Using their new found adjustment, OKC blew the doors off the Spurs.

Game 4: Spurs looked poised to steal one in OKC in the 4th, then Durant scorched them for 16 straight points, and on many of those possessions, Durant was actually defended well. He simply raised his game.

Game 5: Spurs find themselves down 13, at home, in the 4th quarter. They managed to charge late, but fell short.

With the way this series has played out, all the evidence points to OKC simply being the better team. It's not as if the Spurs blew huge leads in every game. Once OKC figured out how to match up with the Spurs's pick-and-roll, that was it.

Here's hoping the Spurs pull one out of their ass tomorrow, but you know me, the eternal pessimist, so I expect the Spurs to lose by double digits.

[cobbler]

:lmao

Nope. You are playing in the Western Conference Finals no matter how hard you try spin that too.

Yikes!

We will be playing for #17 soon enough. In the meantime I get to watch my Kings wrap up the most dominant NHL post season in modern hockey history. Takes a lot of sting away from the Laker choke job.

[ElNono]

Figure of speech moron.

Who's sensitive now? :lmao

None of those plays prevent the Thunder from moving on. You couldn't even hold serve at home. :lol


I know you are not the sharpest tool in the shed but jeeeeeeez. Whine and spin away Nono. It's what you do and it amuses me to no end! :lol

You would know a thing or two about whining and spinning :lol

[ElNono]

Nope. You are playing in the Western Conference Finals no matter how hard you try spin that too.

This is officially the NBA Finals, as clearly stated on this thread.

Do you want to bet that whoever wins the OKC-SAS goes to win it all?


We will be playing for #17 soon enough.

Not with M:lolke Br:lolwn you won't.

[Latarian Milton]

if i were to make up a team with 3 great players then my choices would be a playmaker at PG, a scoring G/F and a dominant C. our squad is pretty malformed tbh just like NY's :cry

6.7%

good luck tomorrow night!

[ElNono]

Rememba det time when cobbler said Mike Brown's game would translate well to the playoffs? :lmao

[midnightpulp]

6.7%

good luck tomorrow night!

And those odds mean what in this series?

What happened in previous series that were 2-0 is irrelevant to this current match up. Now if you can somehow prove that this Spurs team is a 93.3% favorite against this Thunder team, then that statistic is meaningful. Otherwise, it's just a bullshit stat the media throws out to create drama.

[midnightpulp]

I said that too. And it did. But Kobe had other plans and choked like a faggot.

[cobbler]

This is officially the NBA Finals, as clearly stated on this thread.

No. It is OFICIALLY the WCF to see who plays in the NBA FINALS.




Do you want to bet that whoever wins the OKC-SAS goes to win it all?
.

Nope, cause as I stated all along I was rooting for the Spurs and should you lose then OKC as I want the title to stay in the west. Been my position since the day the Lakers were out.

Good luck!

[ElNono]

I said that too. And it did. But Kobe had other plans and choked like a faggot.

I gotta call you out on it. It was a shit take then, it's still a shit take now. :lol

It's a stat that is compiled by taking the history of all 7 game series over the history of the game. Nothing less, nothing more. Of course there are differences in matchups and it's and average of those througout time.

So I guess I can stop thinking the Lakers choked thier series (as you stated) since they were the underdogs and OKC was the better team and OKC made adjustments (as your contention with the Spurs) to cause those choke plays. hahahahaha

Take care. Im out...

Blowing 7 point lead with 2 minutes left and blowing at 13 point lead with 9 minutes left isn't a result of the other team adjusting, it's a result of choking. Lakers outplayed OKC and lost those games because they choked.

[cobbler]

That sounds like you don't want to put your money where your mouth is. :lol

I didnt say i picked the spurs. I said I was rooting for the Spurs because i thought they would be the tougher matchup for the ECF winner the way they were playing. The Spurs were playing beautiful basketball up to game 3. They have folded since and not countered the moves made by OKC. I am very surprised by that. Maybe they will redeem themselves, maybe not. But I am not going to bet against my wishes and I am not going to say they didn't choke if they lose this tomorrow becuase they will have.

I have not wavered or spun anything. Just calling it like it is. If that bothers you, so be it. No sweat off my brow.

Have a good night!

Go KINGS!!!!

[dunkman]

That notion is ridiculous, the ECF teams are at least as good as the WCF. In 2004 most were talking about the (L)east, then the Pistons almost swept the Lakers that dominated the west. This season both the Heat and the Celtics are top defensive teams, have great players too. I don't understand how can anyone think they could get swept in the finals.

[cobbler]

Blowing 7 point lead with 2 minutes left and blowing at 13 point lead with 9 minutes left isn't a result of the other team adjusting, it's a result of choking. Lakers outplayed OKC and lost those games because they choked.

Durant doesn't steal that pass if the adjustment to put him on Kobe wasn't made. We can go back and forth on this forever. I admit the Lakers choked. If you lose tomorrow and cannot admit that being up 2-0 and then getting swept after a 20-0 run is choking then alright. I am ok with that. I think the rest of the world will see it differently.

Again, good luck! Talk to ya Thursday or maybe late late tomorrow.

If you thought the East had a chance before and now that the Spurs are not playing well, then they arguably have a bigger chance, why are you scared of betting on the East?

Sounds like you're saying one thing but not really believing it. In other words, more bullshit, par the course. :lol


I have not wavered or spun anything. Just calling it like it is. If that bothers you, so be it. No sweat off my brow.

Nope. I don't bet against my wishes. I want the West to win regardless of whos playing in it. And I would not bet with you on anything regardless. I have learned my lesson with regards to Spurstalk betting.
