Tonight in the NBA
- Thread starter outhereincali
- Start date
I said after watching game 1 that OKC would win in 5. They just looked so much quicker. This is why we don't need sports betting in Texas - my lunch money for April would already be gone.
No actually I said the thunder would win easily. Enough about that did your significant other have a good day yesterday?
I see you don't watch much Mavs basketball. They are 1-10 in their last 11 game 1's. They never win game 1's. You totally overreacted to game 1 lol. Mavs in 6. Could be over in 5 though.
Wemby and the Spurs are going to be so damn good once they get a few more pieces around him.
If his tall ass can stay healthy. I fear dudes that tall are more prone to injury
I can't believe that the thunder came back. Now you realize why SGA finished second in the mvp vote. And the OKC defense really tightened up in the second.half. Free throws killed the mavericks.
Assuming you're correct and he gains 40 pounds, at 7'4" he'll still be a bean pole at 250. He reminds me of Ralph Sampson or Sean Bradley as far as his build goes. Those guys never packed alot of weight on. I think the heaviest Bradley was ever listed at was around 270. Sampson played around 235 to 240 if I remember right.
It's different with basketball players they don't carry near as much weight as football players. Michael Jordan is 6'6" but at his peak he weighed 218 and no one doubted his strength. He'll be fine.
HUGE difference between 6’6” / 220 and 7’4” 230. Even though the game has changed from the physical best down that it was in the 80s, 7 footers still have to bang in the paint.
I feel so sad for him. I read that he and his wife divorced from this. He's moved to Dallas because he can live in a more compatible home that will meet his needs.than where he lived in Utah. He said he has more trouble with rehab because of his height they've had no previous experience with a man this tall. He said his height is a hindrance. What's tragic is that he has a large family and some grandchildren that he'll never be able to hug or hold or kiss them again.
Nobody deserves this.

You were probably watching UT baseball. But Indiana shot over 67% from the field for the whole game. In game 7. On the road. Not even Michael's Jordan's teams did that. Myles Turner played great btw.
But I don't think they can beat Boston.
If you don't think teams in the NBA play defense then you haven't been watching the Western Conference teams. Minnesota and Dallas can 100% get after it on the defensive end. If you want to watch old school physical defensive basketball then that matchup is going to be a fun matchup.
For the T-wolves to come from behind by 20 points, on the road, in game 7, against the defending champions was remarkable. Dallas has a much more athletic defense than I gave them credit for. And Kidd exploited the biggest weakness in the OKC defense and that was the corner shot. Should be a good series.
I don't think Indiana can beat Boston but dyk that Myles Turner has been playing great for the Pacers? I still can't believe they shot over 67% in game 7 against the Knicks.
I underestimated the Mavs. They proved OKC is not ready for the big stage. The last 2 games have been close but in the end it was Minnesota's young players who blinked. Anthony Edwards is their star and he's going to be a great player but he's too cocky maybe that turnover will humble him a little bit. The means are on a roll .
Hey in the Eastern conference watch for Myles Turner he's playing great hookem Myles.
Agree with you on Edwards. He’s gonna be good. Not sure if I’d say GREAT. He’s definitely got potential.
Funny how all those “he’s the next Michael Jordan” have all shut the hell up.

Yep. Indy had them down 15 late in the 3rd. Couldn’t hold it. They deserve to lose.
