2014 NBA Season Thread

So its possible for Portland to win the 4 seed and not have homecourt for any opponent?

I have nothing against the Blazers but I have to root for that flukish outcome.

It would be funny to see an 8 seed have HCA over a 4, but with Phoenix and NOLA needing 6 or 7 games with 11 to play I just don't see it happening.

Shit another starter out. Andre Roberson is out about 3 weeks. And Ibaka will miss a lot. May be able to return for the 1st round but questionable.

Road teams went 12-1 tonight. Highest winning percentage on a single night for road teams in nba history when at least 10 games were played

With the victory over Miami and Cleveland losing to the Nets, the Hawks have clinched the number one seed in the East.

THUNDER UP!!!

Houston is now the 2 seed

Would like that western conference finals matchup

Houston is now the 2 seed

Back to the 3 seed.
Could go to the third tie breaker. Memphis and Houston could be tied for the division lead, are 2-2 against each other, but Memphis currently has a better conference record.

Those Wiggins vs Gobert highlights were awesome. I see more people talking about the dunk but I thought the block was better.

I think the block is more impressive as well though I see how its overshadowed since he got dunked on twice before finally getting that block

I know the Hawks are limiting the starters' minutes since they clinched first seed in the East, but what the fuck was Coach Bud doing benching them in the middle of the final period when they still had a chance to win?

He's an idiot.

NBA's first Indian player

Mo Williams has burned the Pacers in 2005:

...And in 2015:

A future Indiana Pacer perhaps? He'd be a more clutch option than C.J. Watson.

Bad loss for the Blazers. It seems that the Clippers are the better team and they have pretty much owned Portland this season. When CP3, Griffin and Reddick are on the floor together, the Blazers are pretty much helpless to stop them from scoring. Inept team defense will do in the Blazers in this years playoffs no matter who they play. With the Clippers easy finishing schedule and the SA Spurs picking up the pace, I see the Blazers finishing in the #6 spot going into the playoffs and an early exit after the first round.

Yesterday Olynyk scored 19 points on 10 shots with only one eye. Dude showed some heart

This Warriors-Suns game right now.....

 

[bksballer89]

This is some good shit....even though I have to be up in less than 5 hours

 

[bksballer89]

Holy shit what a game.

Warriors win by 1

Spurs win 50 games again for the 16th consecutive year
That is more than half the franchises have 50 win seasons period, yet alone consecutive

And if wasnt for the 37-13 year in 1999 (probably best Spurs team ever), they would have 18 in a row.
Even the 66 game season did not prevent the streak from ending...

We are extremely blessed and grateful as Spurs fans for something unheard of in modern sports.
25 out of last 26 seasons in the playoffs as well.



Now, I just hope Tiago Splitter is okay. The Spurs really need him versus low post deficient teams like GSW to win. IF he is hurt long term....ughhh....
