General NBA Discussion

The Clippers still have a pretty good shot at the 3 seed because the Lakers are probably going to lose two of their last three.

So either way we'll play an LA team

That's not gonna happen.

Stephen Jackson is thug trash.

Maybe he is, but I think you need a guy like that to stand up for your stars and send a message when the other team is getting too physical.

You are the biggest homer I've ever seen. Just because a guy is scoring on someone doesn't mean it's not tough defense. Ginobli is a superior player and Blake is undersized of course he scored on him. Ginobli is a little flopping ***** and over exaggerates contact like no other.

Ginobili isn't any more of a flopper than gasol is, it's something most international guys do. And you calling anyone a homer is comical, kind of like your inability to type without triggering the language filter

That's not gonna happen.

The next two games are against SA and OKC, both of whom are fighting for the #1 seed. LA will be underdogs in both.

 

[MC KAos]

I think the lakers will win 1 of those game, hopefully it's the thunder game. I think they shouldn't overlook that last game with the kings, it might be the last game in Sacramento so it could be a trap game.

I think you guys match up better with the clippers, not that you couldn't beat the lakers, but the clippers I'd be surprised if the grizzle lost

im a bigger homer than he is.......much bigger. I am not saying I love the Spurs anymore than McKaos does, just saying I am a far bigger and more blind homer

I disagree the Lakers just got embarrassed by the Spurs albeit without Kobe so they're gonna come to play. On Sunday they're gonna be at home where they've been terrific this season meanwhile OKC hasn't played very well as of late. Both games are toss ups IMO.

Pau doesn't flop. Fisher used to flop a lot, but he's not longer with us.

seriously, enough with the Manu flopper nonsense. I have been through this several times.......everyone flops. Manu wasnt the first, but he was great in his prime. He hardly flops anymore, as flopping takes a toll on your body.

Still, the Lakers had Fisher for years flopping like a fish. They also had Rick Fox, Robert Horry, and now Pau Gasol. Oh and Horry flopped his way through Houston, LA, and SA.

Flopping has been around forever, though it didnt hit its popularity until Vlade Divac (Laker/King). Rodman, Rivers, and Miller were great floppers. Karl Malone was an expert flopper, as was Stockton. The best big man flopper I have seen besides Divac was Ben Wallace. For someone of his size and build, it was amazing to see him flop around the court like a dying fish game after game.

For the Spurs....Rivers, Bowen, Manu, and Horry have all been great floppers.

So please save us the nonsense of calling Manu a flopper in post after post, we get it, we know it, we knew it before you did.

Also, there is no point in even bringing up the flop card.....cause it is so widespread and so common throughout the league. The NBA has allowed it to happen and it isn't going away anytime soon.....like the carrying, double dribble, traveling, constant moving, sliding, and switching of the pivot foot, and offensive players being able to draw fouls on defenders who are vertical, and standing their position.

I agree they are both toss ups, that's why the clippers losing last night was so critical for the lakers winning the division, they will prob split these next two games and if so, they will just need to beat the kings to win the division no matter what the clippers do

He just falls down at the hint of contact. He always has. Thankfully his brother doesn't.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

The guy has punched a fan, fought and spit on fellow players and talks endless crap on the court. He's low class trash, as opposed to high class trash like Bruce Bowen was.

That was 8 years ago????? When stephen jackson did that I had a full head of hair and no arthritis-lol So I just wanted to let you know how long ago that was in NBA history.

I would have to put my money on the Mavs if they face the Lakers again in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Pau flops just like every other European player does. It's part of the game overseas and not frowned upon like it is here.

Dirk, Manu, Gasol x2, etc. all flop.

I like the Big 3 of Dallas a lot more than the Big 3 of the Lakers.

Dirk, Terry, and Kidd.
