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

[antidope]

U can say that about anything. Tho... If bogut played gsw would've won, if d rose played the bulls would be in the ECF, if pg wouldn't have got a Jo pregnant he would be in MVP mode etc

I know that, but the notion that Bogut would have made zero difference is ridiculous. Thats going beyond making hypotheicals

But saying it would be over in 5 or 6 because of boguts impact in the Regular Season is blasphemy, bogut didnt play golden state loss, NT is the only place i know where hypotheticals are used more than facts to try and prove a point

 

[tyonenine]

They should've had the lottery today

 

[akoeuro]

yeah & they couldve beat the spurs last year if they had lee, what else "what if" do you have?

How else do you want me to explain it to you? I couldnt care less if they won or not. Im trying to say missing bogut made a huge impact. The same way it will for OKC missing ibaka. What part about that is hard for you to process?

 

[flyerthandelta]

OKC will be fine.

 

[$tacy]

If Kobe was healthy he could've had 6
If Karl would've put gp on mj from the start Seattle could've won
If Lopez was healthy Miami would've lost
If chi didn't trade Deng they wouldve made it to round 2
If wall could shoot they would've won
What else?

Yea exactly. These shoulda coulda. On another note....
Y'all do know that if Lebron gets hurt in this series, they may lose to Indy though right.

I'm getting sick of Jalen. Always playing the victim in everything, nothing is ever his fault, still taking shots at everyone. No wonder nobody talks to him.

How is he playing the victim? He bigged everybody up. Is there a part 2 that I'm missing or something?

Man Jalen is legit. Dude shows love always, he won't hesitate to call a spade a spade though. Victim? Nah, he just isn't a sell out

Exactly. I don't get this "victim" label you're putting on him... Especially when you look at his production before and after Larry. Those numbers don't lie.

Lebron never gets injured he trains too hard

Was OKC going to beat LeBron with an Ibaka. Nah

 

[yeezusdisciple]

Was OKC going to beat LeBron with an Ibaka. Nah

U might be right
But

I liked their chances with a healthy ibaka

 

[carver]

No nba back to back day what is this????

As far as predictions go I got Indy in 7 I think the home court helps them and this is the matchup they've been waiting for all along an they get their act together.

And spurs in 6, of course this all comes down to how healthy Parkers hammy is. If he doesn't bounce back spurs get bounced

 

[100027]

Was OKC going to beat LeBron with an Ibaka. Nah

OKC had the talent level to match Miami, yes.  Not just "LeBron", Miami still has one of the most talented teams in the NBA despite what you slurpers may claim.

If Miami gets to the finals I just don't think the spurs will take them to 7 again. I mean is dany green really gonna shot like that again because he was a huge reason for two of those wins at home. Him and Gary Neil had game of there lives. Just don't see somebody doing that again.

And what Ginobli doesn't play like he's getting blackmailed to lose the series?

 

[yeezusdisciple]

It was all good just a coulpleweek ago when we had multiple game 7s

 

[carver]

Spurs don't take them to 7 again I agree

Spurs would win in 6

GS moving backwards

RT @MySportsLegion: ESPN is expected to announce the return of Mark Jackson to the broadcast booth this afternoon. Van Gundy, Breen & Jackson back together.

The NBA FINALS ARE BACK!

GSW aka the IF-TERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS. "IF" Bogut was healthy they probably would have gotten the 5th seed and not even play the clippers. Get over it they lost

MAMA THERE GOES THAT MAN.

MAMA THERE GOES THAT MAN.

He's not human you can't tell by his mutant feet

 

[akoeuro]

Like i said idk how else to explain to you guys. I have no eggs in GSW's basket i really dont care if they had won it all or not even made the playoffs. What im saying is you cant call yourself a basketball fan and tell me bogut not being able to play had no impact on them losing. Thats childesh! its not a game of if this if that. Im not trying to say that. Dudes in here saying bogut and ibaka not playing has no impact LOLZ
