2015 NBA Playoffs Thread: The Zebras are Loose

[Hurricane Season]

Hinrich potentially playing combined with the fact that I will actually get to watch the game tonight guarantees a Bucks win.  Put all your money on Milwaukee.  Just call me Jacob the Greek.

Don't fail me

i mean, call out bullshit on personal opinions...ok?

I thought he was still a top 5 coach, but questioned those who said he's top 3, and right behind Pop.

The game has changed a lot since 2008 though, and I don't think he's adjusted to it really.


And don't get me started on rondo. He is the most frustrating player in the league, by far. Talent wise, he's a top 10 PG, but if he isn't checked in mentally he's fucking garbage. Celtics Playoff Rondo in 2012 was absolutely insane

Game 1: 16/7/9
Game 2: 44/10/8
Game 3: 21/10/6
Game 4: 15/15/5
Game 5: 7/13/6
Game 6: 21/10/4
Game 7: 22/14/10

But he's so moody and inconsistent that I fucking hated him for so long

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You never said either of those things until after they left the team though. It's called "revisionist history"

i agree with what you said on rondo but you didn't agree with everyone's assessment that he was a diva with a huge ego until he left and no one was questioning doc while he was on the C's. sure, when he leaves, it's easy to call his faults when he's on a different team but i find it hard to believe you didn't agree with his coaching while he was with the C's

 

[buzzy]

The game has not changed to his favor. Floor spacing is as important as ever and he simply does not provide that. Add that to the fact that his ACL tear brought him down a ton.
The guy just needs an optimal system to be succesful and I honestly doubt if he'll ever find that again. I don't think playing with Kobe is a solition.

i knew he had the ego, I just didn't think it was that big of an issue really at the time

And just because nobody was vocal about it didn't mean they weren't questioned. Like, almost nobody will say it, but Brad's rotations are somewhat questionable, as he'll leave in a bad line for way too long

Given the talent level on the Celtics, he's forced to use some questionable lineups.

Kevin Love called Kendrick Perkins "the funniest guy on the team"
 
He has to go

i mean, he plays certain lineups longer than he needed to

Like Sullinger and Turner need to play less, and Smart, Crowder, and Bass need more

 

[elcheato]

Smart has been awful offensively and defensively in this series

 

[Mexi]

Should be at least 70% Bulls fans at Bradley tonight

The justice department is suing Quicken Loans, so now two Cleveland owners are probably in trouble with the law over business practices.

dan gilbert is a douche. people in detroit praise him for buying up dead businesses and empty lots but all he's doing is hording property to later sell for huge values. i wanna say people here have been trying to sue him for that for a while.

 

[Mexi]

Oh shit
I just now found out who won the hawks game. Thats how irrelevant that series is to me
Yikes

Didnt notice the crawler in tnt last night, didnt watch inside, havent seen anything on twitter

And the best part, him not being all nba or an all star isnt even an issue. Not like he was super robbed
