It's not about intensity, it's about the series being on the line. Maybe you can compare regular season games when seeding, or playoff hopes are on the time. However, if we're speaking about clutch, you can't compare a regular season game, to a playoff series where it's going to be tight.

Agreed i'd be surprised if the 8 in both conferences changes tbh.

The seedings might but that's about it, i think any one from 3 to 7 down could all change positions in the West and i can see Bulls and Toronto alternating and/or Pacers and Heat.

The rest are pretty much locked in where they are though.

Jazz are getting pretty legit. Best team (record) in NBA after the all star break.

Can't wait to see their improvement next year. They're so ridiculously young. Their starting 5 was younger than a Utah college team's.

Conley or Teague, who's better guys?

by izzy Wed Mar 18, 2015 9:57 pm

Mike Conley for me.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 18, 2015 10:11 pm

Conley is a lot better defensively but Teague is brilliant at getting into the lane and forcing the defense to collapse on him.

He reminds me of Parker in a lot of ways, but i can't really ignore how good Conley is at running the offense. Probably one of the better PGs one it comes to getting something going in the half court with great regularity.

Destroying the second best team in the league Proud

Tony Parker is a very good comparisons, I see alot of similarities between him and Teague.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 19, 2015 6:55 pm

Genuinely didn't think he would be this good so soon.

by Freeza Thu Mar 19, 2015 7:01 pm

Well, he's played professional basketball for nearly a decade, didn't expect him to improve that much.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 19, 2015 7:04 pm

I know but it's hard to rarely gauge how good a European guy is going to be( at least straight away) Laughing

I sound like a PL fan when talking about Spanish players here but still lol.

Just came back from Rockets vs Nuggets. Was a pleasure to see Harden do his career high.

what the eff you doing in Houston 69? For whatever reason I thought you were in New York for you studies.

The Beard

It was a pleasure to watch him shoot 25 FT's?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Mar 20, 2015 2:50 pm

Dani

I was watching highlights of it and after about 2 minutes i couldn't do it any longer lol.

Probably is different to be there live though.

by izzy Fri Mar 20, 2015 2:52 pm

25 FTs?

......Why?

Makes me sick.

by Freeza Fri Mar 20, 2015 2:54 pm

Harden, the most popular player among fans who don't watch his games hmm

by McAgger Fri Mar 20, 2015 4:03 pm

The guy gets bailed out so much, Jesus. They are gonna get beat bad in the Playoffs.

I think they can beat Dallas and Clippers through luck because those 2 have also have their own problems but that's as far as their campaign will last.

If they get to the second round, big if, they got no chance. And they ain't beating Portland, Memphis, Spurs, GSW, OKC.

Don't call me James wrote:what the eff you doing in Houston 69? For whatever reason I thought you were in New York for you studies.

Visiting friends on Spring Break. He had an extra ticket for the game.

Also yeah even live the amount of FTs were ridiculous Laughing

The Beard was still a boss though, the 3 pointers were insane. The place exploded when he crossed 50+ at the end.

Thoughts?

What a pos, my fantasy hopes going up in flames.

More importantly though, this is a problem. Alot of people spoke about the problems with the bone he broke, alot of players have suffered trying to recover from it.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:23 pm

Shouldn't have drafted an injured player :coffee:

In all seriousness though it's very dangerous, that type of injury has plagued big guys career, ok he's not you typical plodding big man but he's still not far off 7 ft tall.

In the short term not only do have very little chance of beating Golden State but not qualifying for the playoffs is a very real possibility.

by The Franchise Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:41 pm

I drafted him expecting he will at the very least be back for the playoffs, all I had to do was get there Laughing

And yes, they may not make the playoffs now. Pelicans aint giving up, Evans is quietly having a great comeback season.
