Why does the NBA refuse to play games during the day? Its Saturday, people are out doing things at night.

MetSox17 · 06-02-2012, 06:29 PM

Yeah, i'm pissed that i'm missing this game tonight. **** meeee.

Hines · 06-02-2012, 06:47 PM

Does anybody believe the NBA will add more teams in the near future? I'd love for Pittsburgh to have their own team. Any cities who could handle a team? Vegas?

Doubt it, the NBA needs to get smaller not bigger.

In hindsight, they probably shouldn't have expanded in 1995/2004. They went a bit expansion-crazy during the 88-95 period, when they thought the Michael Jordan Gravy Train was going to last forever.

it has begun.

soybean · 06-02-2012, 08:22 PM

EDIT: damnit.

Brodeur · 06-02-2012, 08:25 PM

We got it the first time soybean.

WOW OKC is sizzling and Westbrook, Durant, and Harden haven't done much. Ibaka/Perkins/Collison are combined 29 points on 14 of 16 shooting. They are playing out of their minds, can't expect this to continue but crazy.

Yeah, they need to downsize into cities where the sport would better-thrive.

St. Louis and Kansas City are such huge basketball areas, it's silly that one of them doesn't have a team (especially when OKC does).

Move the Bobcats (or just contract them), move the Kings... And if it wasn't such a historically significant team, I'd say move the Bucks, too.

LTgiants · 06-02-2012, 08:42 PM

Nobody should get a team before Seattle gets one.

nepg · 06-02-2012, 08:51 PM

I'd agree with that.

soybean · 06-02-2012, 09:04 PM

tony parker hasn't done ****.

The Thunder are so annoying.

WCH · 06-02-2012, 09:35 PM

Ibaka is ... wow.

soybean · 06-02-2012, 09:44 PM

cmon spurs... don't be lame.

SeanTaylorRIP · 06-02-2012, 09:45 PM

KD takeover time, he's a closer.

Seconded. Beast.

SeanTaylorRIP · 06-02-2012, 09:48 PM

BTW it's crazy how much Diaw has evolved over his career. He was drafted by the Hawks as a 6-9" PG, was his best as a SF for the Suns, and now has eaten himself into a Center.

WCH · 06-02-2012, 09:49 PM

Crazy hustle by Westbrook.

If only he could get it going offensively and play with more control. Don't forget the Thunder get back Eric Maynor next year who is the floor general for that 2nd unit and really understands control and pace. They even benched Westbrook at times when he was out of control because Maynor knows how to run the offense and feed it to KD. At this point Fisher doesn't bring much to the table other than leadership and team defense.

Great win!!!!

Watching KD take over in the 4th quarter last night was simply amazing. They needed every bit of that for the series to not go down 3-1. They have got to continue riding this hot streak and win game 5. Either way I think this series is going 7 games because I think they can win game 6 but I don't know if they are ready to go into SA and win a game 7.

Westbrook needs to play a lot better though. He hasn't been consistent at all this series.

bigbluedefense · 06-03-2012, 04:01 PM

I don't know if OKC can beat the Heat. They don't have a post presence. I think you need that against the Heat.
