LedZeppfan77 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Paul, the Lakers have NO shot at making the playoffs now...they would virtually have to run the table. D'Antoni has never been comfortable having big guys on a team...his system is for a small, fast run n gun type team. Now he's coaching a team with Howard, Gasol and Artest and he doesn't know what to do with them. Hell, Nash and Howard are even having difficulties running pick n roll plays...and THAT should be a given. D'Antoni has almost single-handedly destroyed Gasol's trade value and Howard's isn't so hot, either. This entire disaster can be laid at the feet of Jim Buss. All because of his jealousy of his sister, Jeannie. somewhere, Phil Jackson is laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The Heat haven't been as good on the road as they have been at home & tonight's a big one, but if they play like they've been playing the last 6 games then a win over OKC should be in the books. And the Clips might roll the Lakers in the late game, they should anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/magic-johnson-michael-jordan-lebron/174817 I saw this listing of the top 10 NBA players of all time.. Good thing I wrote them down because I can't find the link right now and I'm getting politely nagged to get moving to go out to Dinner... (Happy Valentine's Day by the way) 10 Duncan 9 Shaq 8 Kobe 7 Oscar Robertson 6 Wilt 5 Bird 4 Kareem 3 Russell 2 Magic 1 Michael Jordan I would swap Magic and Russell and Kareem and Bird... but other than that, it looks about right to me... and no Isiah...

paul carruthers Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Heat looking mighty good in Oklahoma City tonight. Oh, and Rick, Charles Barkley doesn't believe in your Clippers come the postseason. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and Rick, Charles Barkley doesn't believe in your Clippers come the postseason. Thoughts? Charles Barclay is funny to watch but he is not as knowledgable as a guy like Hubie Brown. Or Steohen Smith of ESPN who says they are a prime contender. I do not see how anyone can pick anyone but the Clippers to come out of the West. They went in and spanked the big bad Lakers by 24 now that they have it together again. And they will do the same to all comers in the West. The only team that really scares me is San Antonio. Because they are deep also and well coached ps I like the West tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Personally speaking, I could care less about the All-Star game or any of the festivities surrounding it. Slam Dunk Contest, to me is just about as useless as the Home Run Derby. Can't wait for the regular season to start back up, even though it seems like forever until the playoffs get here. Maybe every season should be 66 games like last year, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I love the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Had the West and under. The O/U was 294!!! Can you believe that shit? I checked the free play at Dons best and they liked it under. It went under easily. Even with the garbage backyard ball they played. They were pumping shots from five feet behind the perimiter with a man on them. What a joke. Some dunks and ally oop attempts failed miserably. Missed layups. Dwight Howard, what a lazy fucker he can be. Wonder why the Lakers are where they are. He just stands around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 A sad, sad, day today. Gutted when I got home and heard the news. Going to have to let the news sink in before I post any comment. All I will say for now is BEST. SPORTS. OWNER. IN. LA. EVER. Maybe even the best sports owner period over the last 33 years...and yes, that includes Steinbrenner and the Manchester United group.

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Gamblers look for trends folks. Here is one. Milwaukee has beaten Brooklyn 12 in a row. 13-3 vs the spread in last 16. So what is the line? Milwaukee is plus 5 1/2. Needless to say, I bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 After that ass whoopin' the Pacers put on the Knicks last night, maybe I should start worrying about Indiana as the team that could topple the Heat in the playoffs. They've already gotten us twice this year, although those 2 games were in Indiana. Clippers got the Spurs tonight. Should be a fun game to stay up and watch after the Heat beat up the Bulls.

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Seems like everything the Spurs are throwing up is going in. The Clips can't keep up... Nice win by Golden St. Granted the Spurs are tired. We will see if the Clippers can keep up when the real money is on the line. You know damn well they are going to be in the mix. Chris Paul is not going to burn himself out on games that don't matter. If Popovich thinks every game is game 7 of the NBA finals then let him play the schedule that way with his old ass lineup. He does have a good bench and their organization has been remarkable at keeping talent deep in the lineup. Maybe you better watch out for them too. When do they play the beach boys from South Beach?

paul carruthers Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 ^^ The Heat play the Spurs again March 31st in San Antonio. I think that will be a real test of how good the Heat really are given all the controversy surrounding that first game when the Spurs played the Heat and rested all their starters & Miami barely squeaked out a win that time. I can only imagine how tough the Spurs will be with Parker, Duncan, Giniboli and Splitter in the lineup. That's why I'm hoping somebody knocks off the Spurs in the playoffs, whether it be OKC, Memphis or even the Clippers. The Spurs might be the one team from the West who would make me sweat.

Rick, you continually boggle my mind. You have posted here repeatedly complaining about Popovich resting his starters and keeping them out of games. I believe you even bet on an earlier Spurs game this season, only to find out that Popovich had sent the starters ahead to the next city, playing the bench instead. So, given all the evidence of not only this season but in years prior, I think it is fairly obvious that Popovich DOES NOT approach every game like it is Game 7. Trust me, his Spurs will be well-rested come the playoffs. I don't think the Clippers want to face the Spurs in the playoffs. They're hoping somebody knocks off the Spurs in the first round...maybe the Lakers? Yes, I cannot believe I said that...but the Lakers look like they are starting to play up to their potential. The problem is is this too little too late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Strider, I am having a tough time figuring this new format out, but anyway, I believe the Lakers will catch Utah. Utah is ripe for the picking. I like this Golden State team too. I have always liked them since the days of Rick Barry who I loved. The Clippers fear nobody. And they will beat all comers. San Antonio is tough as hell, Ill give you that. Better than OKC. Deeper than OKC. But not as deep on experience on the bench as the Clippers. Chris Paul can be the difference maker. In the East I now believe the stiffest challengers to Miami are in order Indiana and Milwaukee. The Knicks are too up and down. But Indiana is tough as hell. If anyone in the East can pull the upset, they are the ones. Man, I bet Memphis and thought I was dead. My service gave me Sacramento and Detroit and i won. Now I have Memphis and Atlanta. I have Atlanta all over the place. Even with the Flyers who are a winner. Memphis was getting killed and they started the second half 18-0!!!!! Man. Carllysle must be having a heart attack Rick, you continually boggle my mind. You have posted here repeatedly complaining about Popovich resting his starters and keeping them out of games.

Sometimes Strider they play better on the road. Tonight the Clippers are a pick at a very good Indiana team. If they dont come to play they will get beat and Ill get beat. Yes I took them at even. I think they should be respected a bit more. Indiana is good. But not clippers good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
