Now that the Pacers have Granger back, they are seriously going to pummel teams all the way to ECF. That team has been masterfully constructed, and damn have they lucked out at draft time over the last few years.

Clippers counter the 6 week injury to CP3 by releasing Wackson Jackson.

Lateral move.

And the Warriors have helped them as well...

OKC w/o Westbrook looks like a toothless wolf.

Durant with 48 the last two games and a record of 1-1....poor guy...he needs to be a Dub

Bloedsoe out (for the season?) I'm so happy that we only have stiff, unathletic beanpoles. The only one that doesn't fit this description is Iggy and oh well he was injured. Athleticism sucks!

the new "Hyper Rev" from Nike (Irving has been wearing it)

I feel this could be the shoe that causes Barnet to go completely postal

Jim is gonna need some kind of outlet for his shoe rants once he's not broadcasting, maybe a podcast, I'd watch.

!!! That **** looks like a high top Nike Free, I have no idea what Nike is thinking half the time. Hyperdunks have been improving with their padding, but then they come out with these ugly ass Melos and 50 pound LeBrons. And don't get me started on lowtops, or maybe we could ask kobe how that lowtop bullsh*t went for him?

Basketball shoes are garbage right now. The D-Roses are probably the best for protection and the Durants are best for performance/style...Hyperdunks still the lightest and the way I'd go. My pair of hyperdunks weighs the same as one shoe out of my old LeBron pair (they've improved in weight, now 17 oz).

Oh and ugliest shoe? Chris Paul by a mile and a half.

What are the holes on the side for? So my foot can breathe? If I want my foot to breathe I'll just take my shoe off instead of punching holes in my kicks...

all of CP3s line has sucked.

UA need to release Stephs pe Spawn Anatomix. Now.

that said, seems pretty obvious theyre saving a signature line for him. He's their biggest basketball star by an absolute mile now. Great (albeit late) signing for both parties.

Couldn't have happened to nicer people. Clips get the backup ten-day guard rotation.

Using the last ten games to project the rest of the season (which is obviously good for the Warriors), this is what the final standings will look like in the West.

Code: Select all

San Antonio     65.2  16.8
Golden State    63.7  18.3
Houston         55.1  26.9
Portland        55    27
Oklahoma City   55    27
Dallas          53.1  28.9
LA Clippers     51.8  30.2
Memphis         44.6  37.4
Denver          41.5  40.5
Sacrament o     41.2  40.8
Minnesota       40.5  41.5
Phoenix         39    43
Utah            38.8  43.2
New Orleans     24    58
LA Lakers       18.5  63.5

That would probably make for the most entertaining 1st round ever.

San Antonie (1) vs Memphis (8)
Golden State (2) vs LA Clippers (7)
Houston (3) vs Dallas (6)
Portland (4) Oklahoma City (5)

Now that would be a hell of a first round.

Kings are down, but Cousins is destroying Hibbert. 31/12 at the end of the 3rd.

Jester_ · Post #1400 » by **Jester_** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 3:44 pm

So Hollinger has us at 9% championship odds. Miami at 5%, OKC at 8%.

But get this -- Raptors at 10%, lol. That's the Eastern Conference advantage.
