NBA Off Topic

Re: NBA Off Topic

Adding further insult to injury. SMH. I think we all knew the Thunders' playbook was limited, but the fact that we couldn't stop it was even worse.

The Thunder ran the same pick-and-roll play 16 times during the fourth quarter of their come-from-behind series-closing win over Dallas in Game 4.

James Harden was used on the pick-and-roll to score 15 of his 29 points in the fourth. The play is called "Angie".

"If you look at the team we just lost to, it was [Russell] Westbrook in Game 1 and Game 2, it was Durant [in Game 3], and today they just throw it to Harden and he goes off," Dirk Nowitzki said.

"If you want to be an elite team in this league right now, you have to have at least two or three guys that can just go off at any time. I just thought they had more weapons than us. That was pretty clear."

Come on home, D-Will.

I actually had a co-worker that went to school with him, was good friends with him and is still good enough friends to be Facebook friends with his wife. Pretty cool, she said he was a really humble and down-to-earth guy.

Doesn't look like Dirk is endorsing a Carlisle return.

I think Dirk is just trying to, or has, come to terms with the fact that the Mavs are at a crossroads and there could be a lot of changes this offseason.

Ya'll Mavs Fans should check out the new CBA and then you'll understand why Cuban made some of the decisions he did and in the long term, would be much better off.

Yeah, I played against him a few times in AAU. He lit us up man. We were actually beating them at the half, but he went to work in the second half. His high school team, The Colony had a squad too. The other guy you see in the pic, Bracey Wright (went to Indiana and played for the T-Wolves for a bit) was ranked #1 in the state and Deron #4. Dudes were tough.

Does anyone know if Adam Morrison is playing in a team right now? The last thing I knew about him is that he left Besiktas early in April due to lack of playing time. From what I read he was actually playing well while he was in Europe averaging over 10 points a game and being the second best player in some league.

If Adam Morrison is the second best player in your league, you need to take a long hard look at your league

He's not. Just saw him this weekend at a local casino playing poker. He was dominating in Russia last fall and left early to try out for the NBA when the lockout ended. Now he just plays cards around town.

KG comparing the Celtics with baking a cake?

“I always like to use baking a cake as an example,” said Garnett. “Nothing’s going to come out of the first two minutes. You have to sit there and wait on it, for y’all who know how to bake. Some of y’all don’t know how to bake, but don’t worry about it. Ask your mothers and fathers or something — someone who knows how to bake. But it’s very similar to that. You have to give it time for it to turn into what it’s going to be. Time tells everything when the results come, and I’m just glad we’re in a nice rhythm right now.”

Tried to read it out loud to a co-worker without proofreading it first... that was an impossible task.
