Don't know about you guys, but I'm definitely entertained by this Knicks/Nets game.

Big shot by Joe there too. Where the heck is Pack for this?

I was at the game and let me say out of every Sports games I've been to, this was the best I've attended as far as atmosphere, good seats and getting a good game all in one.(Where's the NBA Picture thread for games attended?)

You know things have changed for your team when you're hearing Brooklyn chants and MVP chants for Deron at the Garden. Was actually surprised at the number of Nets Fans that were there.

Post those pictures!! But I totally agree. The game was top to bottom awesome!

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

Blake though needs to develop a go to move where he doesn't have to dribble 50 times before making a move.... having a nice Shawn Kemp like hook shot would do him wonders too.

I don't get to see enough Clippers games, but is this the norm? I was hoping maybe it was because he was the only one really doing much and he was just getting carried away, but I saw that happening far too often last night. I'm sure Vinny "LOLWUT I'M A COTY CANDIDATE" Del Negro will have this figured out.

23 would probably know more than I do since I can't stand the Clippers but its pretty accurate. Blake (from what I've seen) usually gets the ball around the elbow area or that little pocket where the LAC logo is, and does too much dribbling before attacking and throwing up some random shot and going for the O rebound. His rookie season (2nd season) he dominated with that dribble left spin back right or vice versa move, but people caught on to the spin move and now it seems like he has no go-to move.

I mean, I know he can put the ball down but he was slapping that thing around for 15 seconds straight at times.

Just saw the Nick Young dunk. YIKES. Should be some good ones tonight.

So who do you guys think can challenge OKC out west?

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

Maybe a fully health Clipps team but.. then you have Del Negro who could potentially be overruled by CP3 and Chauncey when it comes time to make decisions....

Not sure they're going to be healthy though

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

I will always believe in the Spurs to beat OKC.

I hope they meet again this year.

I don't think anyone will challenge them in the West. It's really falls on the Clippers. They have the better team on paper. Just have to see if they bring it together.

I second this. I had the Spurs in the Finals when they were at the stretch where I think they had 37-9 something like that. But everyone was amazed at the Thunder and kept overlooking the Spurs. Then the Spurs go up 2-0 and it looked like a done deal, but credit to OKC.

Now this season the Spurs are in the same situation, just 2 game behind OKC but still overlooked. Wasn't this team too old like 2 seasons ago??? They have the best coach in the NBA, and will be right there at the end. I don't think even a healthy Clippers can beat OKC, simply cause the playoffs slow down, lack of post presence and of course, Vinny del Negro is not a good coach.

Spurs and Thunder in my opinion are the only two options for an NBA Finals berth.

Anthony Davis will play tonight against the Spurs.

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

The Clippers have yet to meet Playoffs adversity.
I dont see how this "new" team that got swept by The Spurs in the second round, jump to the Finals the next year.
And watching last nights game they have no consistent low post threat. I cant put my money on Paul hero ball or Crawford Iso-ball in the playoffs.
And even if they tightened their ship, can u put your money on Del Negro, in the WCF?
Im super skeptical. Right now they look like a great regular season team.

And I own a Danny Manning Jersey.

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

I think the Grizzlies will hold their own against the Thunder in the playoffs. This latest trade hurt their depth though.

Yeah..I was gonna mention The Grizz, but they have trouble scoring sometimes. They are like the Pacers of the West Coast.
Smother you on Defense but dont have an elite scorer.
in
At least they can score in the Post which the Clippers and OKC dont have.
Ibaka and Griffin are mediocre.

I can see Rudy gay disapear while facing Kevin Durant though.

It would be easy to grow an inferiority complex against this guy if you're in Rudy gay's shoes.
