2015-16 NBA Western Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[bksballer89]

Nets just got hosed in Golden State. Refs intentionally ignored Lionel Hollins request for a timeout so he could call Brooklyn for an 8 second violation

 

[bksballer89]

Brook Lopez

 

[Bolts]

How do you miss that Lopez?

 

[Bolts]

Nets should have fouled the bad ft shooter instead of letting him tie it.

 

[Bolts]

I feel better now about the Kings barely beating the Nets last night.

 

[bksballer89]

The Nets are falling apart in OT. Looks like GSW will survive and go to 11-0

 

[bksballer89]

After seeing this game tonight, I'm actually looking forward to heading to Barclays Center for the rematch next month

 

[Robotech]

Tough win to go 11-0. The Warriors really need these two days off before they take on Toronto on Tuesday. They will probably suffer their first loss in one of these next four games (Toronto, @LAC, Chicago, @DEN) as they play four games in six days.

I had them losing their first game to the Clippers but now with CP3 and Redick hurt I don't think they lose to the Clippers

Went to sleep really early last night and woke up to see that the Spurs almost let a 19pt lead go (Sixers got it down to 4.) Aldridge went for 17pts and 19reb. I was hoping for a bigger win but a W is a W I guess. Every game is a learning experience. 7-2 record ain't too shabby.

I went to sleep around the same time Ronda Rousey did.

Spurs to the WCF is practically written in stone.

The other supposed playoff Teams in the West have been sketchy, at best, outside the Warriors.

Houston gimp...

Clippers heartless and gimp....

Okc has a good record. But, they have to have Durant to stand a chance against the Warriors or Spurs.

Memphis hot buttered garbage...

Nola plutonium covered dog shit...

Suns, Mavs, Jazz....can they keep it up, take the next step?

2 1/2 Team race...imo

Y'all just need to stay healthy.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Andre Drummond is only 22.

Goodness...

I have had a good chuckle about the Cavs giving Thompson that huge contract.

But, the one OKC gave Kanter is worse, if you are not gonna play him more than 20 mins per game.

I'd say it's a 4 team race including OKC and LAC. Rockets were overrated, might be missing some players but they shouldn't be losing some of the games they have. Grizz can't score to save their lives, Pelicans are very gimpy too but even at full health I'm not sure they'd have enough, last 3 are fighting to see who is eliminated by the Warriors and/or Spurs in the first round(Kings have a chance still!).
But the Clippers at full strength are still a threat, the bench could hold them back because outside of Pierce and Crawford it's a bunch of ???.
OKC, assuming again that they're healthy, has more depth than they have had in the past so KD/WB should not have to do it all.
That said, if I had to bet on who'd make the WCF I'm going with the Spurs and Warriors.

Agreed.

Here is my issue with my Clippers.

Nobody can shoot the damn ball, with consistency , outside of Redick and he is always hurt.

The Dude has a really bad back.

Not Steve Nash bad. But, he keeps playing golf and tweaking it.

Austin Rivers...streak shooter.

J Crossover.....poster child for streak shooters.

Did you see that shit he did yesterday?

He does it a couple times a Season.

Problem is, he usually scores 5 to 9 points for the 6 games after.

Lance Stephenson is a shitbird.

Time to call a spade a spade.

That one year in Indy was the exception.

His time is Charlotte and with the Clippers was the rule.

Paul Pierce is shot.

Prigioni should not ever leave the bench.

Josh Smith is lost in the shuffle like Spencer Hawes.

Blake cries like a fucking toddler if you blink in his direction.

Deandre is mentally fragile.

CP3 is physically fragile.

Doc is a shit GM.

They will be lucky to make the 2nd round.

Now I'm sad......

The depth looked to be improved during the offseason, but it's not been the case. They need a 3 and D SF bad to get Lance tf out of that starting lineup.

I have been watching this Team since the 80's with the hopes that they will finally get their shit together.

I feel like one of those dumb fucks who refuse to get a real job, spend every penny they have at the race track, on the ponies, buying lottery tickets or stuffing their money in the slot machines, day after day because they honestly believe one day they are gonna win...lol

* goes to check powerball numbers *

That's how it feels with the Kings, every offseason I get some hope that they can be good even though I know the history. They just need another chance at a championship after their last one was stolen from them. I still have some faith in them making it this year despite starting 1-7 and Cousins cursing up a storm about his coach.

Chris Webber is my Favorite player of all-time.

So, I was a huge Kings fan.

I still can't watch that Horry 3 ball without needing to vom.

That shot and the Kobe elbow on Bibby are very difficult to watch.
