2013 NBA Playoffs Thread

[Mexi]

this pissed me off SO MUCH this morning. I was going to kill someone. probably because this dude palmer says the STUPIDEST shit sometimes. he is the epitome of ESPN. He is me, but to the next level. and I dont get paid for my opinions

Crazy how an NBA title might be decided because a rookie goes for a meaningless steal.

Because LAC is in the playoffs

 
So were the Hornets every season except the one he missed a large portion of time.
 
He'd have a better shot at winning a title with the Pels than he would the Clips.  That team is going nowhere but down.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

it would be pretty cool if he went back, but i remember saying he doesnt like the name change (not that it matters and not that he would even consider going back)

 
I know it won't happen but there is no way anyone can convince me the Clippers are better for CP3 than New Orleans from strictly a basketball standpoint.
 
I mean, Monty>Vinny, Benson>Sterling, Demps>Sacks, and I'd even go Davis>Griffin next season.  Add to that Gordon>Crawford, Lopez>Jordan.
 
Chris Paul made a injured Peja Stojakovic look like a god, what could he do for a Ryan Anderson who isn't even in his prime yet?  And then you can keep adding, we wouldn't have to give up anything to get him (again I know he's not coming back), so that would push a guy like Greivis Vasquez to the bench (can you name 3 better backup PG's?), and we would still have 8-9 million left over to use in FA plus either a high lottery pick or we can move that pick for a vet.
 
If I was CP3 I'd eye New Orleans, Atlanta, and Houston if I wanted to chase titles and not commercials.  Obviously if you want to be hypocritical you can throw the Clips in there.  Atlanta could get creative and have Dwight be attracted towards a Paul/Smith combo, Houston could pair him with Harden and some other nice young talent, New Orleans is the one team that can give him a max deal and have a player who could be a top 5 player in the league next to him in 2-3 years, plus Eric Gordon who seemed to turn a corner with injuries this year.

Chris Paul is doing everything he can in a big game, but getting no help from teammates.  Likely to lose and get sent home early.
 
Why did he leave NOLA again?  Come back home!

Because the Hornets wouldn't have gotten Eric Gordon or Anthony Davis without getting rid of him.

Touche

What do you guys think of Faried sticking his foot out at Curry's ankle last night? Talk about cheap bullshit.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Golden State is killing Denver with the screen the screener action this series.

Denver needs to play Javale more.

Dont troll me with chris paul and houston thoughts
That hadnt even crossed my mind til now. Fuck
Go grizz

 

[Mexi]

LA sports talk just ignores the clippers. Yesterday they were talking exit interviews instead of game 5 lol

Didnt hear today but im sure theyre still talking lakers offseason

And i was at the dodger game last night. Stadium booed the highlights(cause they are stupid...screen was showing ZBo only) and then cheered the score when it was griz by 10

So when people say this is a clipper town now because the clips are good and "more fun", they dont know what they're talking about

 

[BwareDWare94]

I don't like the way CP plays, but I think he'd make Houston better than Dwight would.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Carl Landry taking the towel is the best lol

 

[bosoxlover12]

I don't like the way CP plays

Wait, what??!

He's the most complete PG in the NBA smh

 

[BwareDWare94]
