I'm glad we arent talking about the Spurs anymore after that buffoonery last night. 86 pts? against a horrible defensive team in the lakers and no mamba? unreal.

why did they cut Stephen Jackson? a scrapper.


do. something. in the playoffs.



I had this same argument with a co worker who told me that kobe was overrated. I laughed. kobe does produce. if it wasn't for kobe being kobe and dragging the lakers from the dead they would be in the 12th spot this year. I cant stand kobe but I never hated on his game. ( he kept throwing teammates under the bus and holding the franchise hostage is another story)

I can't believe how many games the clippers won this year. What's more amazing is that they're still only the 4ththe nest team in the west and might not make it out of the first round.

It's also kind of shitty that the Heat are goiwng to rol through the weak ass east and win the title while the west will be a dogfight.

"Stop with the Shaq stuff. I'm not sure anyone has ever won a title without another dominant player."

of course no individual player single-handedly wins a title, but the most uncomfortable to watch NBA studio analyst in the history of NBA studio analysts is deserving of much more respect. prime Shaq elevated three different franchises into instant title contenders and the moment he departed rendered them irrelevant playoff hopefuls. if you'd have traded Kobe for McGrady at the start of their careers, the Lakers would have remained title contenders and likely would have still picked up a couple championships. replace LA Shaq with Alonzo Mourning (even with two functioning kidneys) and the Lakers are at the bottom half of the playoff picture every year and never get through Spurs/Kings/Blazers/Mavericks/Timberwolves.

4/15/2013 1:32:28 PM

Kobe has never played at half the level LeBron is at this year at any point in his career though.


While kobes longevity is remarkable his peak is nowhere close to other dominant guys like garnett, mcgrady, howard, etc

4/15/2013 1:58:43 PM

Now I know how unique Jordan is. Kobe is the closest player to him imo. But his career is gonna over now. But Jordan's second 3-peat is just starting at his age.

4/15/2013 2:04:28 PM

I'm so tired of hearing about Kobe.

4/15/2013 2:09:35 PM

^^^^ Which Shaq are we talking about? The one who averaged a 38-17 in the 2000 Finals or the dude that played for 6 teams. Even if the Lakers kept Shaq over Kobe, I doubt he'd finish his career with LA.

4/15/2013 2:28:48 PM

McGrady to the Spurs

4/16/2013 6:11:24 PM

they shouldn't lose another game ever since T-Mac is 100x the elite superstar that Kobe is

4/16/2013 6:13:24 PM

McGrady attempting to make the second round of the playoffs for the first time in his career

that stat will require the biggest asterisk ever if the Spurs do advance

(and while I tend to pull for the Spurs, it would be fucking hilarious if they get upset in the first round)

4/16/2013 6:29:38 PM

I want Brown to end up in San Antonio so badly to learn from Parker for a couple seasons and get the best coach in the game.

4/16/2013 6:31:48 PM

4/16/2013 6:48:34 PM

Tmac has got better understanding of basketball in China.

4/16/2013 8:06:30 PM

^^ He doesn't really shoot the ball well = San Antonio aint taking him.

4/16/2013 8:11:33 PM

lakers will beat the spurs and the streak will continue.

4/16/2013 10:50:23 PM

Tmac was good last year. Definitely not the elite version but he could be helpful. Green is great but he got nervous and choked in wcf last year. Tmac is good insurance

4/17/2013 11:24:04 AM

rasheed wallace retired again

4/17/2013 1:07:00 PM

if t mac gives them 10pts a game it will be needed. unreal they picked him up after letting go of Jackson. they know they aint winning with the Danny Greens and Gary Neils on their team.

4/18/2013 1:10:45 AM

the fix is in.

4/18/2013 1:18:01 AM

what fix? they already clinched a playoff spot

4/18/2013 1:21:31 AM

and they are playing the spurs.


a series they feel extremely good about. as oppose to the thunder who would run them out the gym

4/18/2013 1:25:20 AM

doesnt really matter...Lakers aren't winning it all this year, especially without Kobe Superstar Bryant...they might beat the Spurs, thats not worthy of a fix...Lakers aren't even that marketable without Kobe...I don't see any reason for a Donaghy moment

4/18/2013 1:30:40 AM

I'm sorry dude I'm just a laker hater. this team would have be the most disappointing team in NBA history if they didn't make the playoffs. I would have thrown a party. I was ready for it.
I had laker fans at work tell me all year they will arrive. I laughed at their asses.


however the Jazz cant close a front door. other team wouldn't put them away. Kobe resurrecting Lazarus. it came to the last meaningless games for the other team.

now that godawful season wont be remembered. being a first round out means nothing even though I never trusted spurs.


ugh I mad bro

4/18/2013 1:42:01 AM

It would not have been disappointing considering all of the injuries. They only had 22 games with the big 4.

4/18/2013 2:03:23 AM

about all teams had injuries. and teams were winning without hall of famers.

4/18/2013 2:07:30 AM

can't believe one of the worst coaches in the league is about to win COY...

4/18/2013 3:40:13 PM

My favorite time of the year. we all about this paper!

Hoping for great odds on Houston to upset okc. If I hit the #8 seed over the #1 for the THIRD consecutive season im a greek god.

Cant wait for these odds i think there will be value on Memphis over clippers. Getting rid of rudy gay was a huge boost and the clippers have relied on their bench for a lot of wins.

Looks like there is probably some value on NYK to win the East too at 9:1 and maybe indy at 12:1

Denver might not be huge faves over golden state and I bet when you run the analysis its horribly uneven matchup.

Freaking lucky break for my spurs drawing la instead of Houston but im not sure it was worth it to give up home court

4/18/2013 6:59:24 PM

playoffs, yo

4/20/2013 3:50:25 PM

Fuck yeah. Go Knicks! Let there be much yelling at TV.

Obviously can't win anything without Chandler contributing... well anything. He was flat pathetic but KMart showed up...

[Edited on April 20, 2013 at 5:31 PM. Reason : X]

Deron Williams and Brook Lopez playing like the barely top-20 PGs and Bigs that they are

4/20/2013 9:14:09 PM

Miller made a clutch shot too. These guys play better than in regular season games.

4/20/2013 10:06:34 PM

Not gonna like, Blake Griffin is a pretty good actor for a basketball player

4/21/2013 12:53:31 AM

lol, right as i read your comment BanjoMan, Blake flops at the FT line

4/21/2013 12:59:35 AM

So David Lee is out now? so much crap...

4/21/2013 1:53:15 AM

during the game they said his quads tightened up...not sure how serious it is, but if its serious, its a tough loss

4/21/2013 2:02:17 AM

this is the quietest playoff game I've ever watched

it's packed in there, so maybe they just have the mics in bad positions

4/21/2013 1:58:46 PM

this is the series I want to see the least of, right after the heat-bucks.

4/21/2013 2:07:45 PM

busiest weekend of my life probably so havent had time to post but i went with

WARRIORS SERIES +333
200/666

BULLS SERIES +118
100/118

CLIPPERS SERIES -165
330/200

PACERS SERIES -355
710/200


STRAIGHT BET
CELTICS SERIES +270
20/54


ROCKETS SERIES +1000
20/200


Not off to a very good start, there wasn't really much value out there in round 1.


My other interests are old futures i put in a long time ago. Most were good bets that offer some additional hedge value now.

2012/2013 NBA CHAMPIONSHIP -
DENVER NUGGETS +4000
21/840

2012-2013 WESTERN CONFERENCE
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES +1500

SAN ANTONIO SPURS +800

which drug(s) did Birdman get banned for? Had to have been more than just weed

4/21/2013 9:18:36 PM

Meth

and later in his career there were some kiddie porn charges. he was cleared of that, though. supposedly, a scorned girlfriend accused him of that shit to fuck over his life.

As expected, Spurs won Game 1...

4/22/2013 1:21:54 AM

David Lee done. This is the worst playoffs EVER.

4/22/2013 1:36:01 AM

^ 1 game into each Round 1 series and the amazing E man has already declared it the worst playoffs ever. GG,

4/22/2013 10:20:36 AM

Not sure what I'm "screwed" on nearly every bet looks good or decent right now.

David lee injury, faried returning, and close denver game 1 win hurts a lot but +333 is still about fair value
