2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[jjs07]

I feel that, I just feel a certain way about those guys since they knew about sterlings track record and then acted all surprised when everything game out. Especially Doc having played there in the 90's.

Its a tougher situation for the guys with no leverage and no many options to choose from team wise though , ill admit that.

We've said it before, but Doc had ZERO issues welcoming Shelly Sterling back into Staples after everything went down.

This is why I'm laughing at them using the excuse of the distraction as one of the reasons why they lost. Nah...miss me w/ that.

Remember when Steve Nash made the WCF with a team of Shawn Marion, Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa, Tim Thomas, Boris Diaw and James Jones?

I kept scrolling though the pages to see if CP had responded but no luck

It would have started another MDA-Doc war, and I don't have the energy for that today.

wishful thinking, it's a slow day at work I could have used the reading material.

I always pictured him as a binging alcoholic who is really into yoga   

You may be right. One of the dudes that posts in the college bball thread was at Duke with JJ and has some stories.

Stick around, Mamba was goin heavy on Doc bein the man in LAC a few weeks back, elite coach that he is and all, so he should pull thru in a little bit with a nice little spin job that could amuse you. Hang in there bro.

Heat in 6



Spurs in 6

who wins in the finals.






i say Spurs in 6. SRS

Spurs in 6 is what I have also.

Not sure if srs 6 though?!?

Very much so. I'm feeling like Miami would be 5 at this point, I lik,e the matchup that much/

Really? .....you like this yrs matchup better than last yrs Finals Why is that? Same players and Wade fell off a bit compared to last yrs finals everybody else still the same

The Spurs are much better man. Non fat Patty Mills, More confident Kawhi Leonard, non drunk Manu Ginobli, theres a lot of improvement.

Whereas Miami has lost Mike Miller, Ray Allen isnt the same as he was last year, Bosh is still shooting way too many threes for my liking, and a host of other things.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I also think the Spurs would trounce on the Heat right now if they played in the Finals tomorrow. Lebron is having to do way too much for his team and i don't think a Pop led team would allow Lebron to win that way. The Heat would need their entire team to step up in order to beat San Antonio.

Things can change though.

He still is an elite coach, especially compared to that quitter *** clown Pringles, who you think outside of Pop and Phil no one is above him and the Lakers will rue the day he got his dusty *** mustache out of town.

I'll say Doc was the victim of "circumstances" like you always bring up for ya boy MDA.

I like y'all chances this yr more than last...IF you get to the Finals...I'll even go further than that The only team out the 4 left that can dethrone the Heat is the SPURS.

Doc is always trying to get sympathy.

"My starting five never lost in the playoffs."
"I might retire at the end of the season."
"I can't rebuild at this point in my career."

 

[ballinsam23]

Was never a fan of Doc. Basically Mark Jackson with a few plays and much better teams.

 

[atransta]

The whole true PG needs to stop, it's been a farce for way too long. It's LBJ a true PF in the traditional sense? No but he's unstoppable at that position. Same with Russ, deal with it.
 

Russ/CP3 are the best PG's just depends which style you prefer.

Elite coach? Funny how getting KG and Ray Allen, and Rondo developing make a coach elite. Because before all that...

I'd prefer the leader of my team to play hard while not being a whiny, dirty, flopping little *****.

Wait are you talking about Russ or CP3

 

[ballinsam23]

CP3 - flops, dirty, whiny

Westbrook - super dumb, extra whiny

Pick your poison

Repped CP3's antics just really bothers the **** out a lot of people. Russ gets slandered non stop while CP3 gets a pass non stop

 

[nelson999]

Chris Paul has definitely made more bad commercials than he's won playoff series

 

[do work son]

The only non whiny player in the NBA is Kawhi Leonard.

 

[pmatic]

True:

 

[osh kosh bosh]

The only non whiny player in the NBA is Kawhi Leonard.

seriously, they all complain, the stakes are too high.

I'll say Doc was the victim of "circumstances" like you always bring up for ya boy MDA.

Difference is, MDA had REAL circumstances screw him over. And lost to Popovich.

Doc had his full roster, good health, and got beat down by Scott Brooks.

Keep spinning your bull **** tho.

4 Ben Wallace PF 6-9 240 September 10, 1974 3 Virginia Union University
3 Monty Williams

Regardless, when he's had the talent before he's won a title and made it to the Finals on multiple occasions. MDA has never done any of that. Which is where C CP1708 and I and a few others disagree on. It's not even about Doc so much, it's that MDA is being put on some kind of pedestal like he's a great coach when clearly his record shown he isn't.

Ain't spinning nothing homie. Them "circumstances" didn't happen every year. Bottom line Doc has GOT it done before, beating the great Phil Jax in the process. MDA ain't did a gaddamn thing.

 

[CP1708]

clearly his record shown he isn't.

His record that fails to include the amount of pieces not at his disposal.

You just watched Doc with his full team.

2010 was his full team, only he got to use missing his bum Center for a single game. But when Phil was missing 2 starters in 08, Doc was ok with that.
