2015-16 NBA Western Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[Hambombs]

That is an awful comparison. You're comparing a sport that is one and done to a sport that is a best of 7 series. If a Spurs/Warriors series doesn't go 7 games, you do realize HCA is basically irrelevant right? And that goes for every playoffs series

For game 7 it is for sure

Yeah but how many series even get to game 7?

 

[Hambombs]

It's the Spurs. Normal rules don't apply. Once a team has enough experience, HCA becomes far less important. It becomes about getting to the post season rested and healthy. The Heat were the same way in Lebron's last 2 seasons.

Plus, one seeds usually win because they are the better team, not necessarily because of HCA. The Spurs have 5 titles and I don't think they've been the #1 more than once or twice.

Actually 4 of the 5 championships spurs won they were the 1 seed and they were the 2nd in 2007. They might not win the championship if it weren't for the we believe warriors that knocked off the 67-15 mavs. With that upset spurs had homefield throughout the western conference

Still matter because mostly 1 seeds won the championships. Just my opinion

Hmm. That surprises me a little.

The SPURS were the #2 seed in 2005
The SPURS were the #3 seed in 2007

When the Warriors beat Dallas, it gave Phoenix homecourt throughout not SA

Alright DAMMIT!! Which one of you is lying to try and confuse me?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Ask a SUNS fans.

I am sure that would cheer them up.

Just did a quick google search and Horns is correct

For some reason I googled 2005 and 2006 came up my mistake

Sorry @Mecca Sources: Griffin hurt hand in team-related incident

Apparently Griffin hurt his hand punching an equipment manager

Yeah, Dan Patrick has been alluding to this all morning. He's going to give the story after the current commercial break.

Guess the Clips wanted to give the Cavs a break from the negative reaction re: Blatt.

Dear Clippers,

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Lebron, David Griffin, Dan Gilbert and the entire Cleveland Cavaliers Organization

I'd like to sign that note as well.

According to the Clippers beat writer:

Griffin and the equipment manager are friends and even hang out off the court. Apparently they had some kind of altercation (as male friends sometimes do), Griffin punched him and broke his hand.

Yep. Someone didn't pay up on a bet or made a move on the wrong woman.
