nba playoffs round 2 discussion thread...

ha ha...annoys me when guys think watching regular season basketball means beans...the true players come out in the postseason and the pretenders do also...the regular season other than finding out who the playoffs teams should be is garbage...at least thats the way it has become for me...

I don't think any of it means much of anything.....its a game. I guess there is some validity in the statement if all you're after is the results, but there is a lot of good basketball played throughout the year by some remarkable talents.

Not sure why the Spurs fans are up in arms over hoops' comment about Duncan whining. Cant say Ive seen him much the last year or two, but back when I saw him a fair deal he really was a pretty big whiner. Its not a knock on Duncan as a player, just sayin. Of course others did it too, but Duncan was up there with the best of 'em.

Yet you say Duncan is the worst in acting like he's called for bad fouls. How can this be true if you don't watch games?

i used to watch the nba regular season like i do pro football now...but as i got older and the game changed for me i realized guys were going through the motions in the regular season...anyways on the duncan front you are taking me too literal with the "every time" thing...obviously...

its not that we are up in arms over people pointing out that duncan used to whine over foul calls.the problem with that spurs fans have is EVERYBODY used to do it before the rule changes,but it seems this is the only go to move of fans of other teams to try and some how nitpick duncans HOF career.

Not up in arms. Just not understanding why Duncan is being called out as whining on every play. He whines like everyone else in the NBA whines.

Lets GO Pacers!

[hooshoops]

pacers have to be careful not to overpay george hill at the point...they have a bunch of guys on that roster in the starting 5 especially that can't create their own shot...they need a facilitator and penetrating pg...a rondo with that group would be filthy... i like george hill but he's not much of a break you down off the dribble pg...he likes to hang around the 3 point line and fire up long range shots off the pick...every once in a while he'll drive to the cup but its not looking to pass...

[Ferretsquig]

Hill gets the qualifying offer, nothing more. Bird isn't going to give up on his pet, especially since he has to see the draft pick he gave up on the all rookie team, but I think the start PG experiment is over. Hill would be a great starting point for the Heat.....the Pacers need a real point guard.

I think they should go all in for Williams, but Gordon seems to be Bird's target. Not that hes a shoddy consolation prize.....swap George and Gordon and you've got yourself a pretty good team.
