The Real 2014-15 NBA Regular Season Thread

Just watching the Nuggets for the first time in awhile, I'm noticing something that really impresses me. They are really good at jumping to challenge without fouling. They're making sure not to jump into shooters and it's affecting a lot of shots.

JJ Redick is the GOAT and every time he misses a shot, it's because he got fouled

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA!!!!

Denver has gotten absolutely boned in this fourth quarter, and they're still in the lead. Damn. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Memphis is dead in the water if Conley doesn't get healthy

dubs should absolutely reach the finals

 

[Mexi]

Lmfao im rooting so hard for draymond to leave the dubs

I dont hate gsw either. If they win it all, and they should, thats awesome

Ill probably pull for them vs cle but ill pull for atl and chi over them

The officiating was good in the Celtics/Wizards 2OT game this year.

Still the best game of the season, by any team imo.

 
 

Complaining about it is pointless though, most of the time, especially in basketball. Using the officiating excuse is about as easy as it gets and doesn't add anything to the conversation. It's probably one of my biggest pet peeves with sports fans tbh.

 
 
Bitch, did you not read my motherfucking post?

I haven't watched them recently but for a while there they were playing pretty well under Melvin Hunt. I think that team was built for a George Karl type system and Hunts system was closer to that than Shaws.

i meant in terms of being a empty wins and empty stats player. kobe is a winner.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Is it true that the spurs are either the 6 or the 2 with no middle ground (unless Memphis loses)? If so that sucks for NO

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Still have a feeling SA doesn't go all out though

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Being we are at home we have a chance, slight chance. If we were on the road wouldn't have a chance in hell.

But either way, we go out against the Spurs or Warriors. Far worst ways to go out, and just because you finish 44-38 instead of 45-37 doesn't mean this season was a failure. I said from the start my main goal was to have a team completely healthy going into the offseason, and we have that. Increased win totals have been 6, 7, and now 10 (if they lose to SA), so even without playoffs that trajectory still looks very nice. If you believe in that sort of thing then another increase would be somewhere between 11 and 15 games next season.

I don't see Memphis beating Indiana unless Conley plays. They're completely lost without him

 

[BwareDWare94]

What sucks here is that a significantly lesser team will likely make the playoffs.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Significantly lesser? I don't buy that at all

 

[BwareDWare94]

How about this? Nola is much better matchup against Golden State. OKC can't play a lick of defense. The Warriors would score 110 plus in every game

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Considering they average 110 points per game, that shouldn't come as much of a shock, should it?

I just think NO is extremely lucky to be where they're at. They have the best record in one-possession games in the league. There's luck involved there. OKC lost the MVP (also Ibaka too) and is still grinding out a potential playoff spot. Give them credit.

The Pelicans don't match up well either. Draymond Green is going to get so many open looks because they don't have a guy that can guard him well. And Klay has a super favorable matchup as well

Warriors will sweep either 8 seed; maybe it stretches out to 5 games.
