2015/16 NBA season

[Aragorn]

Bloody hell Curry's at it again.

Forget it, it's a wrap.

GS got this.

 

[Rod]

They've been doing enough to get by. The Blazers were fantastic and actually won more quarters than GSW which in a 4-1 loss is pretty crazy.

Curry has looked ominous since returning and you'd have to assume GSW still have another gear so looking at the Rockets/Blazers performances isn't a great indicator, they have looked far from unbeatable so far though.

I don't think GSW will be getting complacent or anything though, if anything it sounds from the soundbites I've heard from Draymond etc. like the Blazers gave them a bit of a wake up call.

Bye bye Spurs

 

[McLovin]

wow... After the season they've had.... what a massive let down.

 

[Barkley]

I thought the Spurs would teach OKC a lesson. That series has shown that age has finally caught up with the Spurs. I thought that the Spurs had a really good chance of knocking off GSW if they got past OKC. Their style of D would have caused GSW some problems like it did in the regular season.

GSW will be far too strong for OKC in the conference finals. Death by small ball.

 

[Rod]

Well well well.

Thunder are now 3-0 in their last three road games against Spurs/Warriors ... Spurs and Warriors lost only 3 home games all year.

I think people have been underestimating the Thunder (me included).

I certainly have. I may need to re-assess their title credentials.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

I certainly have. I may need to re-assess their title credentials.

The Thunder are the team I follow. Closely. I just didn't see this happening. I resigned to losing against the Spurs.

But signs are that this team has turned things around at a rapid pace.

Since that flogging at the hands of the Spurs in game 1, they have won 5 of 6 with three of those wins on the road. That is staggering. I don't want to get ahead of myself cause I still favour the Warriors winning the series BUT quite a few 'experts' have egg on their faces after game 1.

I also think that Adams is more of a influence on this team than we/I thought

 

[shiznit]

Maaan just watched it... Steven Adams you beast!

He's come such a long way in 3 seasons... He just needs to keep working hard and getting better...

He's still only 22...

22? I just assumed he was late 20's.

It looks like the WCF will be a good battle after all. OKC seem to be playing more team ball than their usual one on one ball. Kanter and Adams are getting involved and it's working a treat for them.

Can't wait to see how GSW respond

When the Lakers don't get the number 1 pick :lol:

 

[Barkley]

When the Lakers don't get the number 1 pick :lol:

The NBA will somehow ensure the Lakers get No.1.

 

[ByRd]

I hope we get the number 1 pick just to hear all the cries and whining that its rigged for the Lakers, it will have nothing to do with the fact that we have been crap for the last 3 years and also have the second best odds of getting it.

But I don't have a good feeling and don't think we will stay inside that top 3 to keep the pick, top 2 or nothing, if we get 3rd it will be dealt in a trade later on.

 

[ByRd]

1. Philadelphia 76ers
2. Los Angeles Lakers
3. Boston Celtics (via Nets)
4. Phoenix Suns
5. Minnesota Timberwolves
6. New Orleans Pelicans
7. Denver Nuggets
8. Sacramento Kings
9. Toronto Raptors (via Knicks)
10. Milwaukee Bucks
11. Orlando Magic
12. Utah Jazz
13. Phoenix Suns (via Wizards)
14. Chicago Bulls
15. Denver Nuggets (via Rockets)


That is the draft lottery order, happy with the second pick!!!

 

[AusKnightRKO]

The Celtics and Raptors will be cheering as well.

Who would you take? Ingram or Simmons? You can't really get it wrong.

I'm pretty happy, my Suns got 4th and 13th. Hopefully we can get a decent big guy. I'm hoping we get Dragen Bender 7.0' PF from Croatia.

 

[McLovin]

I hope the sixers draft Ingram... Simmons is better...

It's hard to say cause I feel the lakers are gonna make some moves but I'm hoping for Simmons but I'm sure he'll go number 1 but Ingram will feel a big need at SF and he can shoot, that's why I was happy we stayed in the top two cause you can't go wrong either way.

 

[lafai]

Simmons is going to be an all time great bar serious injury. Ingram I haven't followed at all.. who is he similar to?
