Watching the big man get lost because the NBA banned shading defense is the highlight of those clips for me.

I've never heard two commentators be more obnoxious and whiny than the Nuggets home announcers last night. That team is a blast to watch but holy gently caress they complained about every single thing that didn't go the Nuggets way.

So close yet so far, and whatever. If you're good enough to get to the ECF you are in a pretty good spot. You need some luck or guys catching fire but that can happen. Lots of people considered the Mavericks a tier below true contender the year they won it, even last year lots of people gave Cleveland no chance until GSW started looking vulnerable in the playoffs. The last couple years have really proven that the NBA still has a ton of variance (even if it's not as much as NFL or whatever).

I thought Toronto was going to end up like Atlanta last year or Memphis with an aging team that could maybe make the Conference finals if things go their way. But right now they look like very strong favorites to make the ECF and they have 4 players 25 or younger that look really good in Ross, Jonas, Bebe and Powell.

In their defense it's probably incredibly hard to defend against a guy that would need a ladder to go down on you if shooting is taken out of the equation.

Rockets - these guys are loving unbearable, I actively avoid watching Houston home games because they suck so much 2. Cavs 3. Celtics 4. Lakers 5. Warriors Best: 1. Pelicans - these two just are really laid back and have fun without taking anything seriously 2. Twolves - probably the best crew for talking Xs and Os 3. Nets 4. Knicks - Breen is great and while Clyde offers no insight whatsoever his rhyming couplets are cool 5. Spurs I don't think it's a coincidence that generally the worse teams have better and more bearable announcers. tanglewood1420 fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Dec 29, 2016 |

Austin Carr is having a ton of fun announcing basketball which is good because his career was cut short by injuries. He's a cool basketball grandpa with a smoky laugh that occasionally forgets his words. Fred is a fairly generic Homer announcer. League average, I would say. Slightly related; I've heard people be annoyed with the Cavs announcers for talking up every opponent which is a strange complaint to me. You'd rather they poo poo on the team? It's the NBA, anything is possible.

Just a reminder that we need to get Embiid into the ASG so he can go on a date with Rihanna http://www.csnphilly.com/the700level/vote-joel-embiid-nba-all-star-game-so-he-can-date-his-crush https://twitter.com/JoelEmbiid/status/501136985767944192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Dexo posted:Michael Jordan is a funny rear end in a top hat not an shithead rear end in a top hat. Yah. Michael Jordan is an rear end in a top hat but at some point this forum assembled a list of every owner in the league and what they'd done to get their billions and Jordan, Cuban and the Lakers owners whose last name I'm unsure how to properly pluralize were about the only ones who hadn't got it in a reprehensible, exploitive way. Also I dunno if there was a consensus on Ranadive but I'm of the opinion that HFT is basically just vacuuming up other people's wealth without making anything whatsoever. Owners are bad players are good. NBA has one of the strongest unions of the major American sports right now, even though baseball was the trailblazer.

"George Karl surprised by backlash to upcoming book " http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18370894/george-karl-surprised-backlash-arising-forthcoming-book Appearing on ESPN's Mike & Mike on Thursday, the longtime NBA coach was asked whether he was surprised by the backlash to the book. "There's no question," he said. "Surprised? Yeah, I guess there's no question we all want to be liked a little bit. The backlash was interesting. A couple of things I learned from. I think the big thing is a couple of things. I probably should've studied -- I didn't know -- I probably should've studied what I was writing a little more than I did."
