COTY award was given to the right coach. Klay has little to no shot winning MIP too.
Draymond Green saying Brow has no go-to move was much needed. Can't be the 3rd best player without proving it.

By thekad Go To PostRichard Jefferson is likely to start in Parsons' place tonight.Great excuse for Vahagn to use if we win the series.
I totally forgot that but Black Mamba said...
Yeah, I was wrong. They're 2nd.
By Mamba Go To PostRockets 3rd seed, so much LOL
Yeah, I was wrong. They're 2nd.
By RBK Go To PostSo does McHale finishing 6th in voting mean much? I need to know.
Means he didn't get enough credit for how he handled their injury situation this year while still getting the second seed.
Other than that no.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To Postso when the blazers wroteand a promise to be "(Expletives) on defense."
was it "shit on defense", "Bitch on defense" "Pussy on defense" "motherfucker on defense"….. I can't madlib anything in there that deserves an expletive and is motivational.
LOL thought the same thing.
"We gotta go out there and fuck on defense."

Like half the people picked them to miss the playoffs, almost no one but rocket fans had them with HCA, but single me out? the guy who had the Warriors 6th singles me out?
Hey, I got CotY dead on, so eat it!
I'll be catching the Toronto - Washington game tonight. Hopefully I won't fall asleep like last night ( it's 2 AM here )
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThe east is shit though and Kerr got 67 wins in the west.
So I disagree with bud getting it. But I'm not enraged about it.
They lost like 1 game in two months, and they went 22-8 on the season against the West. They would have been even better if they didn't have a rough start out of the gate.
Personally I think Pop deserved a shot, there's no debate who the best coach is right now. But I can't hate on what the Hawks accomplished under Budenholzer.
By Mamba Go To PostLike half the people picked them to miss the playoffs, almost no one but rocket fans had them with HCA, but single me out? the guy who had the Warriors 6th singles me out?No one could have predicted the Warriors as the #1 seed though, even Warriors fans. I wouldn't be wrong to assume that people who predicted Houston to miss the playoffs don't really follow the NBA or at the very least the Rockets. Lower seed is fair because our bench was terrible the 1st third of the season. Not on this site, but I was chanting for months that losing Asik didn't mean much plus replacing Parsons with Ariza was a good thing. Lin was our biggest loss, believe it or not.
By DY_nasty Go To Posteveryone had the hornets in the playoffs lol foh
They should have been, think everyone expected Lance to take the next step. Had them 6th in the East in my predictions.

Sure why wouldn't we? They came on last year, were a tough defensive team and played Miami tough in the playoffs. Then they brought back everybody, added a star scorer from a conference finals team and had the hype of getting the old logos and uniforms back on top of it. It's still kind of a mystery to me how they couldn't at least scratch out an 8th seed.
By Mamba Go To PostLike half the people picked them to miss the playoffs, almost no one but rocket fans had them with HCA, but single me out?
Yeah, they were very wrong too. Except they didn't single out my prediction. You did. So you get to hold the L.
Houston over achieved (because their defense was worlds better unexpectedly and something about luck, ask mamba)
Charlotte under achieved, although missing Kemba/Al for months and Lance being a net negative wasn't expected.
The REAL underachievers were Miami. Who woulda thought a Finals team wouldn't make the playoffs even with the emergence of Whiteside and signing of Dragic. Yea, they had injury issues. But I mean, c'mon. The bucks and nets made it.

We lost bosh.
We played Chalmers/Cole many minutes.
We have zero shooting.
Wade crawled to 62 games.
We played 31 different starting lineups,
We had a historically bad defense for quite some time
We fucking suck
Foh

By Moris Go To PostLOL thought the same thing.Probably a-holes, though that's a bit awkward too.
"We gotta go out there and fuck on defense."
Wade and Bosh missed over 20 games each, right? And Mcbobs essentially didn't play. Considering I had them an 8 seed going into the season, I don't think they underachieved given the Bosh/McBobs issue.
I think the overachievers were Indiana, Houston, Philly (I know that sounds weird, but after the season started, it seemed like they wouldn't win 10), Milwaukee (especially pre-trade) and Hawks.
Underachievers were Charlotte, Knicks, and maybe Nuggets. Some might say Kings, though not sure. Really, only the Bobcats seriously underachieved. I won't say OKC did given the injuries.

That's the only one they need to make the point, though. If Bosh plays they're probably the 6th seed.

By Diprosalic Go To PostEverybody had Detroit in the Playoffs, i say they underachieved too.In terms of general consensus, probably. Though, I had them missing it so it's why my perception is different.
Also, Vag, I don't think Houston overachieved because of luck. I don't mean wins versus point differential. I mean, given my expectations of them before the season and then context of injuries/trades.
Even if they won 50 games (thus no luck), I'd still think they overachieved given how many games Howard, Beverly, and Jones missed. Nobody outside of homer Houston fans would have predicted 50 wins with those missed games.
By DY_nasty Go To Posteveryone had the hornets in the playoffs lol fohyea well i put memphis 6th and now they're dicking my team and causing our only good player to bolt so don't feel too bad.

I never understood the pessimism.

Didn't think Kerr and company would make such an impact.
Oh well, won't mean much once the Rockets knock them out of the playoffs.

Philly kind of just achieved. They were hideous to start the season, but that's because their star prospect was still recovering from an ACL tear. Then, when their star rookie caught up to NBA speed, they became much better. I don't think that's overachieving.

I know you might not remember these things, because your team is coached by McHale.
But there's these things called "game to game adjustments". And Carlisle is damn fucking good at making them.

"... Morris brother enter the gym with three other men, Bowman, Julius Kane and Christopher Melendez."
That's what happens when you hang around with dudes named like Steven Seagal villains.

Morons.
Hood told detectives that he has known the Morris brothers since they were in high school and that he mentored the brothers through college. The Morris twins denied to police that they were involved in the assault and that knew Hood.
Police say that that Hood was assaulted for sending "an inappropriate text message" to the Morris brothers' mother some time before the incident.
I wonder what he texted her. Damn.
