The NBA Thread

Fell free to post NBA related talk here, no matter what season it is.

The LA Clippers has a new mascot, Chuck the Condor. He's reportedly not very well received, oh dear *Dan Hicken voice*.

THAT GAME WINNER BY CURRY AGAINST OKC.

The San Antonio Spurs Coyote and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla are better mascots than this mess.

I'm enjoying every minute of seeing the Cavs self destruct and Curry taking taking way Lebron's opportunity to win a championship after leaving my Heat!

Big Spurs fan, here. The lost to Lebron and the Heat in 2013 was a great catalyst for the Spurs to reach the finals in '14. BronBron is 1-2 in the finals against the Spurs. Wuhoo! The Heat have a young nucleus in Whiteside and Winslow. Saw them play a few weeks back and was impressed... Curry is unreal. That game against OKC was ridiculous. GSW have a shot at breaking the Bulls 72-10 record this season. I LOVE the NBA! Wondering if the rumors are true about Orlando possibly choosing the Jax. Giants as their new D-League team. I would def go watch.

I'm trying to get back into the NBA. I started mostly ignoring the league when the original Hornets left Charlotte (I grew up near there). Hornets 2.0 still seem to be as much of a tax write-off for MJ as the Bobcats were for Johnson.

[I-10east]

^^^I feel ya. How egotistic was that owner? To name them Bobcats because of his name.

[RWNeal]

I know, right? Can you imagine the Atlanta Homers? The Carolina Jerries and Dallas Jerries would make for a hell of a rivalry.

Then again, there are the Browns...

THAT GAME WINNER BY CURRY AGAINST OKC.

Is it too early to give GS the trophy already? I can't say that I've seen a b-ball player take over a game consistently quite like Curry (and yes that includes Jordan).

[thelakelander]

^What's crazy is it has reached the point where I expect all of Curry's wild shots to go in. To be honest, I was more surprised that Iguodala made both of his free throws.

[Prax_N_Jax]

Steph's ppg average has been rising since he's been in the league. I think he has yet to hit his ceiling.

[JaxJersey-licious]

Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavaliers and to the city of Cleveland for breaking their record-long 50+ year championship title drought! San Diego is now on that clock.

[thelakelander]

Yeah. As much as it pains me (well not really, I still slept good last night) to say it, Curry and Golden State were exposed. Glad to see James Jones add another ring to his collection ;-) I guess those 96' Bulls were a lot better.
