Hey don't forget me jackass! I picked them before anyone else chimed in so...na na na na boo boo stick your head in doo-doo :tongue:

if you look back (in this thread i think)i said they would get the #1 pick way back when they announced that new Orleans had a new owner& got the asg game in NO

:yep:

I'd take Popovich too. That man is a genius of a coach.

Furthermore, RC Buford is one of the best GM's I have ever seen. I think in terms of players they drafted themselves, Duncan is the only lottery pick. I think Boris Diaw was a lotto pick for the Hawks in 03. Possibly SJax was a lotto pick? Not too sure about that...wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.

Maybe it was, lottery pick drafted by.....

Or some shit like that. Either way, the Spurs organization is the best in the NBA.

Even though there's a minute left, that shot probably did it. The Celtics lost all momentum.

Maybe not. Clutch shot by Allen.

I don't know how refs miss a clear fouls like that one by Wade... but they manage to make calls where there was no contact... or very little contact. I'll never understand that.

It's their teamwork as well. The way they pass is just beautiful to watch. They are picking OKC apart right now. Plus Tony Parker is playing out of his mind.

Yeah, it should only get worse for the Heat or Celtics. Neither of them will be able to keep up with the Spurs right now it seems.

Lebron: 24 FTA's
Entire Celtics Team: 29 FTA's

That tells you all you need to know about the officiating in last night's game.

3 straight games where the Celtics have a good start. Let's see if they fall apart in the 2nd half again.

Nope!

Not sure if OKC can beat Miami...

Why do you say that?

 

[nwfisch]

Why do you say that?

I don't really know. It just seems like Westbrook either takes over too much and shoots them out of the game or else Durant kind of fades into the background and doesn't play as the star he is sometimes.

Obviously OKC played well these last two games, I just find it hard for this OKC team to put together 4 winning efforts against Miami. If Bosh is still out in the Finals, I would think it'd be easier for OKC, but we saw Indiana try to outrun and outgun Miami and that failed.

 

[BNB]

I get the feeling that OKC wouldn't be able to beat Miami either.

Wasn't it a similar culture clash last season? :shrug:

I guess I think any matchup Miami has is a culture clash, because its basically those 12 players on the Heat against the world. :dunno:

 

[Bear06]

LoL it aint over yet I still have San Antonio beating OKC.
