NBA 2K13 Roster Update Details (4-2-13)

Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update Details (4-2-13)

You must have forgot that OKC was a 8th seed at one time and put the Lakers in their heels with Westbrook and Durant a few years ago and Memphis a 8th seed upset the spurs a few years ago... Just because your the 8th seed it doesn't mean your just destined to lose....

The Jazz barely ever make any noise in the playoffs and every time they do make the playoffs I don't even watch the series cause I know they will lose no matter what.... That's why they shouldn't get a playoff spot

The 8th seed has won against the 1st only 5 times in NBA history...it's quite simple, if you make the playoffs in an 82 games season, you've earned it.

Also, I simply can't understand your logic. Utah has been in the playoffs 8 times since 2000. They have missed the playoffs only 4 times since the 1983/84 season. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
Again, I'm not a Jazz fan...but as a basketball fan I appreciate good team ball, which is exactly what the Jazz do.
Now I understand that it's easier to root for some individual superstar since this requires no basketball knowledge whatsoever, but anyone who knows what basketball is all about might not exactly be in love with the way the Jazz play, but has to appreciate how they make the best out of the pieces they've got.

The last time they went to the finals was in 98 and the last time they went to the conference finals was 2006.. That's trash.

Let's apply your logic to some other teams as well:

The last time the Knicks went to the finals was in 99 and the last time they went to the conference finals was 99...They haven't made it past the 1st round for the last 12 years. That's trash.

The Clippers did not go to the Finals or made it past the Conference semis even once. That's trash.

The Grizzlies never made it past the 2nd round. That's trash.

The Nuggets made it out of the 2nd round only once since 1985. That's trash.


Now having established that the NBA is a league full of trash, what's your idea to improve the way playoff spots are distributed? Clearly, outside of a few big market fan favourites, most teams seem like a complete waste of time according to your logic. So do you have any suggestions how to make the playoffs more exciting? Seems like most teams are completely undeserving of their playoff spots.

You must not remember when they went to the Western Conference Finals a few years ago, huh?

You're an idiot.

It's also apparent that you have literally no idea what you're talking about, because you only pay attention to a total of 5 teams: Lakers, Thunder, Knicks, Heat, and Clippers.

Your definition of a horrible team is foolish and straight-up stupid. You're more than likely a child who bases his thoughts of the NBA upon 2k.

Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update Details (4-2-13)

while the 2k community may hate me for saying this. Melo could use a slight upgrade for his performance during the knicks 12 game win streak. Also. Idk what Hayward did personally to the 2k insider but something is clearly not being done about his rating. James white is a 69 over Hayward smh. I also wanted to know if anyone else didnt support the fact that haslem has defensive anchor and Omer asik doesnt?

I'm sorry but just making the playoffs to get swept or beat isn't impressive to me at all that's just a waste of a playoff spot... If your not even going to be able to COMPETE

The Knicks have been a Joke for a VERY long time so let's not act like them having a good season this year makes up for previous years.... This is their first time in contention to win it all they beat the heat 3-1 in the season series and were an 8th seed last year

The Clippers have had NO BANNERS till this season and they finally won a division tittle but still have been the Joke of the NBA ever since their team existed till last season when they got Chris Paul who should have been a Laker lol

The grizzlies are trash and have always been trash I though they were going to do great coming into the playoffs this year then they traded away Rudy Gay.... For cap space.... So I don't really expect much from them anymore

And what are you talking about the Nuggets were just in the Conference finals in 08-09 season and I respect the Nuggets more than the Jazz because they still Compete against any team they play against

I mentioned they went to the Conference Finals but I guess you can't read at all huh? But I'm an idiot? Lol

No I base my opinion on if they are able to COMPETE and what they have done overall and it's really not much to me even when their team is HEALTHY ... I'm not impressed at all with them you just sound like a bitter Jazz fan because your favorite franchise isn't making moves to put them into contention for a title let alone compete with any other play off team

Re: NBA 2K13 Roster Update Details (4-2-13)

lol i didnt intend to spark anything with my original comment.. was just making an observation

imo.. its irrelevant for you all to be discussing the HISTORY of squads that no longer have the same rosters
all im saying is.. (i think) the roster the jazz have now (no deron, boozer, malone, stockton) are far from threatening to anybody ..
millsap/jefferson are about the only things they have going for them, and i dont think they can be contenders until they give up one of them to get a good guard/wing... or nab a good draft pick

That's in a nutshell of what I've been trying to say but I guess they believe the Jazz are going to do something in the playoffs

No, you've been saying that Utah is a horrible team, in which they are not.

Should they have moved Millsap or Jefferson for a PG of the future? Sure. But they didn't. And guess what? They're still a pretty damn good team. How many "horrible" teams can be in playoff contention in the Western Conference?

You're basing Utah off a short stretch where they played horribly and got their confidence rattled. You take out that horrible stretch, which was arguably one of the toughest sets of games in the league at the time, and Utah could potentially be the 6th or 7th seed.

Put Utah in the East, and they'd be fighting for the 5th seed.

Now, I'm curious here: Do you think the Lakers are a horrible team as well?

I almost agree with everything you said. Almost.

It is irrelevant to keep bringing up history. I did not until I mentioned that Utah made the Conference Finals a few years back, but this cj2008 fellow keeps mentioning how Utah is a horrible team because they haven't been to the Finals since 98. By that logic, the Knicks are a horrible team as well, as are the Clippers and the Grizzlies.

I also think that Utah should have moved Millsap or Jefferson before the deadline, but that's a different discussion altogether.

The part that I don't agree with, though, is how you say Utah only has Millsap and Jefferson and are not threats to anybody.

That's where you're wrong. As of right now, they're a threat to the Lakers, being that if Utah beats them out for the 8th seed, LA's season goes down as the most disappointing in league history. We've also seen it with Memphis that an 8th seed can at least put up a fight against the top team.

As for them "only having Millsap and Jefferson," Mo Williams is finally getting back in his groove and Gordon Hayward is coming along nicely. Derrick Favors has been terrific as of late, but unfortunately, Kanter is out for the rest of the season. Both Favors and Kanter have been dominant off the bench and could be starters for lots of teams in the league.

LOL that's horrible that you would think it means something to be a 5th seed in a way weaker conference..
Lakers are FAR from a horrible team... they've had three HORRIBLE seasons to Laker Standard... but this season was filled with a lot of front office Blunders and Jim Buss making decisions with his emotions and not the better basketball decision

They are not game changing players at best they are role players idk why you think so highly of Hayward

That is the sorriest answer to that question that I could have even imagined. Talk about a double standard...

There's no double standard at all Utah has been healthy for Majority of the season and are battling a team that has had most of their starters besides Kobe miss multiple games...

and KEY rotational players from the Lakers roster have missed most of the season

The Lakers have had more success than the Jazz even at their very worst.. with an injury plagued season

I believe they would have had a completely different season if everybody was healthy for majority of the season

Have you seen him play? The kid is a great basketball player. He can shoot, drive, defend, and set up for his teammates. He's an all-around talent. I know that I'm not the only one that agrees.

As for Mo, he's a streaky shooter, but he's also a former all-star and can still get it done. He's had multiple 20 point outbursts in the past 10 games that have helped Utah surge ahead of the apparently not horrible Lakers...

I'm done here. You have no idea what you're talking about and I don't want to stoop down to your level any further. Later!

you are such a HOMER... and I already said the Lakers had a Horrible season because of Injuries but I definitely know what I'm talking about... your over hyping a player that average 14 points a game you make it sound like he should be an all star or something

Look up Earl Clark he's had good games too through out the season but he is nothing more than a Role Player
