Hex the Hornets/pacers - the other teams thread

[BigSlam]

Damn the Sixers beating the Rockets tonight.

Well we can officially kiss that 2nd lottery chance goodbye. I think Portland choked on purpose so they can say they didn't give up a lottery pick for Wallace

[ohara]

Portland sucks. Their pick in 2013 will be a lottery pick for us.

[Rich4114]

Yeah, that show won't last in Portland. We'll enjoy the lottery on their behalf in 2013. I think this is the peak we'd see their current talent base go and they can't even hold onto 6th place.

Good luck drafting those players in the 2013 NBA draft genius.

damn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X850YRPLZCU

that didn't look good. is there some friction between okafor and wallace that we don't know about? and how about those blazers, looking out for a teammate and warning him about a blind screen? at least matthews kinda stuck up for him and fouled okafor hard on the ensuing layup attempt, i guess.

[Diop]

the screen didn't look that nasty to me, Crash just didn't see it coming.

[W_HAMILTON]

And that was supposed to be a flagrant?

[Rich4114]

after watching that youtube clip, I ended up in the weeds and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOf91TKOvEI

amazing how many charlotte connections are in this 1993 game and STILL involved here today. Dell, Steve, Mugsy, Oak, etc.

But back to Wallace vs Okafor - it doesn't surprise me. Too bad Okafor didn't play like that all of the time, maybe he'd be good.

[Jaruff]

the screen didn't look that nasty to me, Crash just didn't see it coming.

The screen was fine. Crash lying out on the floor for the 30-40 seconds made it look much worse than it actually was.

[Rich4114]

It's not like Okafor shoved him into the stands. He simply stopped and set a good (legal) screen. Wallace was doing his normal flying around without wondering if a person/ground will be in his way. You don't get 6 concussions in your life by having the same approach as everyone else playing basketball. Just sayin...

[BigSlam]

Both of these teams clinched, so I am locking this down.

[fatlever]

LOL... you made it a sticky instead.
