Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

yall really think the players care one bit about what yall think? blame the refs for giving them the calls not the players. yall think the players have some sort of moral standard like "oh no i don't want them to think i don't want to be labeled a b****". they don't give two *****. their job is to win games, and if the refs fall for whatever they do i can't blame them for continuing to do it. it's gamesmanship.

you think nobody already knows this? If I say "I hate paying sales tax" it doesn't mean that I want to over throw the government. Lol I'm just saying it knowing it is what it is

 

[mrpopadopolous]

Lance should get all the "Live Mas" plays tbh

 

[imlive365]

Where's bosh?

He has 4 fouls they've been saving him.

 

[maliz]

It's weird how some of y'all complain about fouls more then the players and coaches do.

They would get fined if they spoke out against the league.

Why should I care what the players think? I am posting whatever the hell I want in this thread, within the rules of course. You think I expect the players to read this? Come on man

You basically telling us not to complain about anything and keep our mouths shut.

What you want me to say?

"oh battier with the amazing flop!"

"aw shucks Wade almost pulled that flop off! maybe next time champ! "

 

[mrpopadopolous]

I think Lance blew his own mind with a shot that was actually good.

 

[sorkoram]

LeJesus

Damn near it if they go to that set.

When they're going to it, they're sending Ray Allen through a double on the backside.

 

[imlive365]

I love it when David west tries cheap **** and gets caught them tries and act like he didn't do anything.

 

[alleniversonfan01]

Its called strategy. Complain all you want but the goal of the game is to win. At any means, even if Im up, I'll flop to stay up in order to win. IF the refs call it and it helps me win, I'm doing it. That honor mindset in this game only goes so far. The goal is TO WIN

Trust me, I get why its done. It just sucks that that is what the NBA has turned into. Like i said, if the league really wanted to stop it they would be suspending players after the first offense. Not after the 5th, when its damn near impossible to even be fined once for it as we've seen just in this series alone. 

I think some players should be above flopping because of how good they are and they dont need to use cheap tactics to gain an advantage that they already possess. But flopping is on the refs and Stern. 

 

[do work son]

no, im saying it's pointless to complain about players flopping. if you want to blame anyone, blame the refs.

 

[do work son]

david west frustration fouls

 

[airjordan jb23]

Indy needs to do a better job of moving the ball

 

[duba169]

A team as historically talented as this one should be ashamed to flop at such a significant rate. It's that simple. It's unbecoming.

 

[sooperhooper]

It's funny how they never catch Bosh with the push off in the paint on the rebound, yet west got hit with a foul for it.

They are losing sleep over this sleeping In their mansions, with their hot wives, and driving every nice car.

Ashamed

 

[mrpopadopolous]

Because Bosh doesn't look forceful lol

 

[durantula]

Oh well, hopefully pacers bounce back for game 4.

 

[mrpopadopolous]

Oh well, hopefully pacers bounce back for game 3.

This is Game 3...

 

[imlive365]

Bird man don't give a ****. He could get dunked on every time but he's still gonna challenge every attempt at the rim

 

[durantula]

This is Game 3...

Mis-type, ya I meant game 4

 

[dman14]

might as well tyler in and good in up

 

[tyonenine]

Bird man don't give a ****. He could get dunked on every time but he's still gonna challenge every attempt at the rim

Just like Zo

 

[sorkoram]

Spoelstra using a bit of those Lakers 1-2-2 sets.

 

[mrpopadopolous]

Bird man don't give a ****. He could get dunked on every time but he's still gonna challenge every attempt at the rim

Yeah, it's called playing defense. So many players don't want to out of fear of being talked about dunked on for like a week.

 

[mertonhanks]

Its funny how after the refs blew whistle after whistle after whistle for the pacers in this game, you can still complain about the officiating. You are amazingly consistent.
