**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[buc em]

I’m not sure if we’ve really seen much more gruesome leg injuries like this than in the past, but one thing we have seen MUCH more prevalent is torn achilles. What is causing this to happen so much nowadays? There has to be a reason behind it. I never remember many players across basketball and football that it would happen to.

 

[shotsrangout]

Absolutely unreal. 40 year old man getting up like that too snatch the ball out of the air.

Mike was something else.

Bron is better though

Crazy how bias the Nets announcers were last night. Their immediate reaction of all the Nets players running away from the scene was because they disagreed with the call and blamed it on how bad the game was being officiated towards the Nets in general

 

[bballkid11]

Prayers up for Nurk

D. Book Empty Stats (did I do that right)

 

[lamekilla]

Portland perennial playoffs fodder

 

[bballkid11]

OKC lol.

Wish Sac or Lakers were still close. OKC missing offs would be great.

They were like “wow you can see how disgusted the Nets are with the foul calling tonight”

The Lakers?

Athletes nowadays are bigger stronger faster. Bodies overall haven't developed enough for that (and dudes be using HGH)

Boston back to being petty I see. Frauds just like I called them a couple weeks ago when the media and people was ready to jump back on the wagon.

I wont be suprise if they make it to the ECF.

In all honesty, I wouldn't be either but I fully expect a meltdown if they go down 0-2 to Indiana lol

The Sixers and Celtics could both either go to the NBA Finals or go out in the first round. Both teams are that bipolar.

 

[dman14]

Wow just heard about nurks injury

Rather the Cs make the finals so they can keep Kyrie and we have more years of dissension lol

 

[gridebounca11]

Logged in to hate on the ref that tripped over nurk.

Freakin fool

 

[nomadicsole21]

Wow just heard about nurks injury

woke up and still thinking about it in the morning. The mood in Portland is very low rn, we dont eeem care about clinching the Playoffs after that. We have THE WORST luck with big men. Something haunted about the Rose Garden/Moda Center man.

 

[big j 33]

That injury was not what I wanted to see at 6am.

Feel terrible for Nurk, Portland, and their fans.

In the end I just think when the playoffs start I trust the players on the Sixers and Celtics to show up for the big moments more than Giannis and role players or Kawhi and role players.

Yes, both of those teams have had better records this year. But I think a lot of that is due to the fact that both teams try harder night in and night out while the Sixers and Celtics have just been looking ahead all year picking and choosing when to actually give a ****.

But like I said, they’re also both bipolar enough that they could think they’re too good for the Pacers and Nets/Pistons and go out in the first round too.

I swear someone in here predicted OKC falling and Utah rising after ASB

 

[bballkid11]

I swear someone in here predicted OKC falling and Utah rising after ASB

Just last week I think someone said at the end of the week OKC will be 8.

 

[B Sox]

I swear someone in here predicted OKC falling and Utah rising after ASB

It wasn't all that farfetched to see happening. They had opposite schedules.

Think it was @Vincent Van Goat that called it.

 

[bballkid11]

Let's predict 4-8.

GO..........

I do not see Port dropping a ton based on schedule.

Port
Spurs
Jazz
Clips
OKC (schedule is brutal)

 

[100027]

I wont be suprise if they make it to the ECF.

It’s going to be a trip when they do and Boston fans start talking about how Brad Stevens is the best coach in the L for taking an untalented 5 seed to the ECF.

That’s probably right since I think both the Spurs and Jazz have the tie breaker over us. That said, our remaining schedule is pretty soft so who knows?
