2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[WiggyRuss]

The season is a failure if they're not holding up the trophy in June. Simple as that.

oh without a doubt.....i have certainly had a ton of fun watching them thus far- and then watching anticipated playoff basketball...i cant ever remember a better time to be a Cavs fan

i certainly care if the Cavs sweep the east. i went through 4 seasons without any playoffs-

OKC didn't make the playoffs for 4 straight years?

 

[WiggyRuss]

well that was a bummer of a 2nd half....thats definitely a game they should have won- oh well- i guess you have those games once in a while- just as long as you dont have them too often- kind of a bummer though- would have been nice to get that win and go into a 6 games in 7 at home.....

i didnt realize MKG was back already....thats crazy- didnt they think he had a season ending serious injury? and hes back to start February??!!

In 2 of his first three games back he has 12 rebounds, and 13 rebounds......played awesome defense and his shot even looked like it was a little better.....once this guy hits his prime he is going to make multiple all star teams.

Switch to the Heat game.
Whiteside came in a few minutes and totally turned the game around on both ends of the court.

Whiteside did just have a nice dunk- then gave up a layup to Pachulia, and then just got nailed for a 3 point play to end the half on Pachulia


I cant believe michael kidd gilchrist is already back and playing that well...thats crazy. This guy is going to be really good.

Im anxious to see what a healthy Hornets team would look like playing together

PG- Kemba
SG- Batum
SF- Kidd-Gilchrist
PF- Marvin Williams
C- Cody Zeller/Al Jefferson

not bad really.....when healthy that is...

 

[bksballer89]

8,3,and 2 in 8 first half minutes for Hassan " I'm Different" Whiteside

Not bad at all, but like lots of other teams will never be good enough.

And, typical of you to point out the probably worst sequence of Whitesides 8 minutes and totally disregard that he changed the entire flow of the game.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

8,3,and 2 in 8 first half minutes for Hassan " I'm Different" Whiteside

He really had 3 blocks. Scoring should change.

 

[bksballer89]

Orlando and OKC is good action.

114-112 with 2 to go

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

So, James says Cavs are shit in the 3rd qtr now.
Aren't most adjustments made at halftime?

In all seriousness, over time, you will see the coaching change meant nothing.
Have Cavs really been that much better, if at all?

Let's call the Bulls loss vs the Spurs win a draw.
Beating Wolves, Suns at home means nothing.
Nice win at Pistons, but they have not been very good lately.
Nice, earned win vs Indy, but very, very, easily could have been a loss.
Then tonight ( I only watched last 4 minutes).

what were your feelings on pre-NBA LEBron? what did u think he was gonna be? as good as he is? better? worse?

 

[bksballer89]

Whiteside with the block then finished off the play on the other end with a beautiful assist to Deng

A rare time he's gotten the ball in that position.
Much easier to acquire assists from that spot on the court.

As we've said on several other nights, games like this are why somebody's giving him a max.

 

[bksballer89]

My god Kevin Durant is cold blooded. Just drilled a 3 to win it with .6 left

He had a ton of hype to live up to, and he has.

He better fix his shot though, between now and the playoffs or the Cavs could lose before the Finals.

 

[bksballer89]

10,5, and 4 for Hassan in limited minutes through 3 quarters

Was The Decision the worst time IYO?

a max next year for someone of Whitesides service time is 25% of the cap which is projected to be 89 million. No way does Whiteside get a max. with the built in raises, a max next year for his service time is probably like 4 years 90 million.....why ?!!! why would u do that to your franchise?!!!

That's possibly accurate.

What's he getting then, though?
I think it's 3rd time I've asked you.
