Hibbert may get shot by an enraged fan at this point.

Rik Smits would smash Roy Hibbert

4/25/2014 10:10:31 AM

Heat will probably sweep each series until the finals.

The West is a murderers row and whoever makes the finals is going to be worn down to the nub compared to a fresh Miami.

Don't sleep on Portland. Lillard and Aldridge are killers, they might not sweep the Rockets but they look fucking good. This Clips v. Warriors series is entertaining as hell.

4/25/2014 2:04:47 PM

How come about all the fans of their respective teams wear the same color t shirts except Atlanta?. LOL

4/25/2014 2:18:26 PM

My guess was that instead of buying shirts, the Hawks paid people to come to the game. I dont think Ive ever seen so many people at a Hawks game.

4/25/2014 3:50:11 PM

Atlanta has such awful, awful fans. It's across all sports too, not unique to the Hawks.

4/25/2014 4:16:21 PM

but what is so odd is that the arena provides the t shirts for the fans. I guess they didn't know who the hell was showing up so they said forget it. when you are the worse team playing in playoffs I guess you get what you deserve.


oh I didn't see willembahh's answer. LOL

I see playoff tickets for sale in Atlanta for $28. Lol

4/25/2014 5:34:56 PM

its because atlanta is all about style. the game or any big event is basically a mini fashion show. lakers don't wear shirts either and i don't think new york's teams do but may be wrong on that.


you can't just blame this on hibbert. taking him out of the starting lineup with destroy team chemistry.

losing these games is the best thing that can happen for the pacers because it gives them more games to get it together. 1 month is a long time. they could be a completely different team by then if they just find a way to survive.

the heat are going to win the east but it won't be easy because they are playing down just as bad as the pacers. the next series will be a dogfight for the heat.

4/25/2014 8:53:03 PM

why is tyler hansbrough still in the league? Old Man paul pierce just did an old man crossover. it was so slow and it left Hansbrough drooling.


The wizards have a nasty backcourt with wall and beal.

I see. good answer. I'm watching this Brooklyn/Toronto game. People in Brooklyn aren't "shirted" up

I'm not putting the full blame on him. Paul George aint doing shit. George Hill is horrible at dribbling the ball but 7 foot Hibbert is 18% from the PAINT. Against the Atlanta Hawks.

they have plenty of time to do that in the off season too.

it been mainly a dogfight in all the playoffs the Big 3 has played in. Remember the Celtics? I still dont think they will win the east.

4/25/2014 9:11:32 PM

John Wall is really good. He's the best pg in the East by a pretty wide margin and is going to be a real match up nightmare for every team they play.

Even worse is his defense. Teague has flat out embarrassed him on that end.

4/25/2014 9:19:07 PM

I'm not sure which is worse Roy Hibbert's offense or Pharrell's hat.

he has the potential to be, but Kyle Lowry currently occupies that throne

and Rajon Rondo still plays in the east

Sorry, should have clarified that I was talking about guys in the playoffs. Sort of forgot about Kyle Lowry. I'd take Wall over Lowry, but it's close.

Wow, Deron Williams is so non-clutch. Gets bailed out with a BS foul call and then proceeds to schtoink both free throws.

Brooklyn got away with one this game. but a W is a W

4/25/2014 10:05:10 PM

what's a chicago series without a little brawl. Nene was totally instigating it though

4/25/2014 10:05:39 PM

bad idea from Nene. theyd need him

4/25/2014 10:54:52 PM

or Ming.

4/25/2014 11:10:42 PM

I think OKC trading harden away was the worst move in NBA history. dude is a stud. if westbrook hadn't gotten injured last year and harden was still with them, easy path to NBA title over the heat. even till now i still can't understand why they got rid of him, boggles my mind, worst trade in NBA history.

rockets can build around harden and howard though, but shit. right now portland has way too much young talent and athleticism, i wouldnt be surprised to see an upset. lillard and aldridge are fucking beasts

[Edited on April 26, 2014 at 1:46 AM. Reason : .]

4/26/2014 1:44:42 AM

I'm not gonna say Lillard/Aldridge is better than Harden/Howard cause I don't think it is, but they've definitely outplayed them this series

And you could easily argue that Aldridge is the better overall big man than Howard

I don't understand this, the heat beat them the first time with all 3 of them. Why would last year be any different?

Don't you remember how bad harden played in the finals? He has never been a good playoff player, look at this series for more proof. = He still shot less than 40%.

4/26/2014 3:54:19 AM

harden is just a volume shooter and holds the ball way too long. title contenders move the ball.

4/26/2014 5:30:27 AM

Howard is much better than Yao of course.
Yao never got to the Finals, and can never win the dunk contest champ.

4/26/2014 9:34:21 AM

am I the only person who thinks Donald Sterling wasn't wrong in what he said to his girlfriend?

she sounded like she was reading from a script, baiting him to say some shit, and recording it the whole time.

his buddies are telling him that she's sleeping with a bunch of black dudes, then she posts pics on Instagram of herself hugged up with Magic Johnson (a guy who is notorious for sleeping with random chicks).

listening to the entire conversation, I was pretty pissed by the end. I feel for the guy

he says he doesn't mind if she fucks Magic, but posting a photo with him online is crossing the line

seems pretty cut and dry

4/26/2014 1:12:58 PM

based on the recordings, his only concern is the racial component, not some implication he's been cuckholded

4/26/2014 1:14:51 PM

you really do belong in arizona. sympathizing with a bigot.

he literally said do whatever you want just don't post pictures walking with black people on instagram. its ok for me but you are supposed to be seen as an innocent white girl.

4/26/2014 5:15:47 PM

I'm not a lawyer. Would this be considered slander or libel? Also, if the NBA were to take action against Sterling, would he be able to fight it considering California is a 2-party consent state for audio recordings?

he would have to win in every nba state

Neither. He's just an asshole.

While it's perfectly legal to reprimand and/or throw someone out of a private organization for being an asshole, if he were to argue that the evidence that proves he's an asshole was obtained illegally, reports are that plenty of other evidence could be found and presented.

4/26/2014 7:29:02 PM

The only way it could be slander/libel is if the recording was altered and he did not in fact say what the current recording says.

4/26/2014 9:00:05 PM

or if there's much more to the recording, and TMZ is only choosing to air the juicy parts, thus tarnishing his reputation

4/26/2014 9:07:12 PM

You don't understand how slander libel works, if he actually said the words in the order presented it is lawful. Taking things out of context or using choice quotes is not slander/libel
