2011/2012 NBA Thread: Greatness & Awesomeness

[steintym]

Glad to see the Pacers steal one down in Miami.

 

[Poeman]

It has begun...LeChoke commence now.

 

[Darthphere]

Poeman, do you enjoy being that guy?

 

[Poeman]

I enjoy seeing Lebron James fail in the playoffs...So I guess so.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah that obnoxious guy who rubs defeats in every chance he gets really suits you. You only do it in every sports thread.

 

[Matt]

EVERYONE enjoys being that guy when it comes to LeBron. Hell, YOU would've been the loudest one of those guys if he signed with New York or Chicago instead of Miami.

What do you mean, I am that guy now that he's in Miami.


But in Poe's case, I've noticed he tends to do this all the time. I guess it gets boring since you know....the Knicks....well....yeah.

I guess it is fun to be that guy.

Erik Spoelstra needs to realize that fingers are starting to point in his direction as well. Regardless of what Lebron wants to do, you draw the play up for him and let him miss or make it, period. Or, you run it for D-Wade, no matter how cold he is. A few more plays for Chalmers though, and his future might not be as stable as he thinks...

NFL: I hate my bitter rivals in the AFC East (Dolphins & Pats)

NBA: Miami Heat, ugh (alot of fake fans and Lebron James)

MLB: Boston and yes I dont like the Florida Marlins fans skipping out on games...Havent paid much attention to Miami Marlins right now

Soccer: Man U is great team...No hate there, just dislike alot of the extreme obnoxious fans and the team is super cocky in the EPL (Could be like alot of the bandwagon Yankees fans). I like Fergie though

NHL: Atlantic teams I despise

You just have alot teams that you support that I dislike, but you know I'm not the only one ragging on LeBron whenever I get the chance. Alot of people do it.

In fact I saw a pretty cool stat right as I am typing this...

ESPN Stats & Info ‏ @ESPNStatsInfo
LeBron James is 10-17 (59%) from FT line in final minute (4th quarter or OT) of 1-possession games this year; rest of Heat are 13-15 (87%).

It is.

Spoelstra's a puppet. Thus his job is safe until Pat Riley gets bored/believes the team is ready to win a championship. Then he'll step in and take all the credit.

I honestly believe if the Heat don't win this season, Spo is gone since someone has to take the fall. I don't think Riles is coming back though. For some reason I just don't see it happening.

 

[Poeman]

Btw, can one of you guys tell me what the hell is happening to this forum since the past 3 days or so?

It keeps giving me the 'Page not found' and just timesout...Some serious problems going on at SHH

People keep mentioning Phil Jackson going to the Knicks, and I personally think he's retired for good. But if any team would intrigue him enough to consider it, I think it might be the Heat.

 

[Matt]

Only way that Phil Jackson would go to Miami is if they fired Pat Riley. Neither man will answer to the other. They cannot co-exist.

I really wish I had an answer but we're as in the dark as the rest of you.

 

[Poeman]

I believe Phil will only come back for the Knicks job or Lakers again

 

[Darthphere]

Phil will come back to coach Toon Squad in Space Jam 2.

 

[Poeman]

That would be awesome...

Instead of Jordan the new squad should be built around Derek Rose...Talk about a awkward feeling in those huddles with Bugs, Elmer, Daffy.

 

[runawayboulder]

I'm one of the few Knicks fans that has half a brain and knows that Phil Jackson will never coach NY. He would never work for that owner. They are never going to have an A list coach as long as Dolan is running things.

 

[Docker2.0]

So.......Miami AND the Clippers lose tonight?! This is a sexy night!

While I agree with you, I think the only thing potentially more embarrassing than working with Phil Jackson is if this Big Three experiment doesn't work. And considering that Pat himself is highly unlikely to occupy that bench anytime soon, I don't know how long Riley lets Spo run the show, so to speak...

 

[Trainwreck2100]

LOL, LA Clippers and their small ball lineup. Pop trolled Del Negro hard there

 

[Raiden]

Looks like Spurs have game 1 in the bag.

 

[Docker2.0]

Someone may need to call 911 for LA. Dude might have committed with the way the Clips got beat down. This was a grade B arse whooping.
