2013-2014 NBA Season

[codizzle]

9 minutes of the worst defense you'll ever see

And that is why James harden is so overrated it's not even funny

[Gordo52]

Looks like I'm missing a great game right now. Beal is stepping up, big.

Hopefully Wiz can pull it out.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Wizards win again!

Proud of this team.

I haven't really been watching any of the playoffs but I'm pulling for the Heat!

Wizards doing good...but they are not going to get past the Pacers next round. They better hope the Hawks advance.

 

Looking forward to the offseason....I dream every night about the Wiz signing Melo and threading themselves right behind the Heat and Pacers in the East.

 

Melo...Wall...Beal...Nene.---> BEAST

Agreed 100% on the last part but why can't they get past the Pacers?

Heat will definitely be back in the Finals for the 4th straight year...the only team capable of beating them in the east is Indiana and they have lost a big step and continue to show signs of dismemberment and incompetence. The Pacers just dont have that swag or dominance they had last year, there defense has been terrible and they have generally been playing sloppy ball lately too.  

 

I see the Spurs or Thunder coming in and beating the Heat in the Finals. I just think the Heat are gassed and wont be able to finish on top this year.

I just think they lack that extra piece that will give them the push they need to beat the Pacers. They will definitely give them a good run for their money...but I just dont think they have the edge over the Pacers. I will still root for them but even if they do advance they wont win a championship. They dont have the elite firepower to go 7 games with the Heat...let alone 4.  

 

If they had a Melo, or maybe a Rudy Gay, or Luol Deng (who are free agents this summer) on their squad right now combined with what they have they could easily push for the finals. They could definitely improve on Trevor Ariza at SF. The Wiz need to make a splash this summer and maybe look for a big signing or  trade because they are so close to being a juggernaut in the East...especially with the Heats big 3 all headed for free agency.

Agreed but I think the Bulls are a better squad than the Pacers right now. I wasn't confident facing them but with the series going back to DC 2-0, I'm really impressed. Unless Indy suddenly goes back to their old ways I'm not too scared to face them.

Heat will be a challenge no doubt, I think they eventually go on to the reach finals, but like you said losing to the Thunder or Spurs... but the Wiz have held their own against them recently. I know the playoffs are different but it could be interesting if Ariza hits one of his random hot streaks against them.

I've heard on TV from multiple media people saying the Wiz have the best backcourt of the future, and maybe even right now. I think this summer is definitely the time to pounce on some big name free agents. Melo makes the most sense to go after since he would fit here perfectly and he's from the area. Wall and him would flourish together. I really hope they can land him or at least attempt to sign him. I'd like to retain both Nene & Gortat but Monroe could make for a good addition as well. It's important to do good in these playoffs to help lure them. If we can make it to the Eastern finals, I think that would do it.

Yea Im definitely more confident about facing the Pacers after their mid season collapse, they definitely dont have that grittiness to them they had last year. But a blind cobra is still a cobra none the less....the Pacers are still good and have what it takes they just have to play more as a team. i could see a 6 or 7 game battle in the next round.

 

Bradley Beal and John Wall are both young and extremely talented players, signing Melo would give them the signature "big 3" combination that will make them a favorite to push for the #1 seed in the East. Definitely pleased with the future of the Wizards after such a long gap in between the Gilbert Arenas era haha

I like the expression! And yes sir, bright days are ahead. Still don't like Wittman or the GM and I'd love for them still, despite the success this season.

[Gordo52]

Pumped for this game!

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

Give me back my Bullets!  Sorry D.C. ers'  Our team, our town, our championship! Besides if our mascot was "Tiny B.B." Wiki it, and really? Go Wiz, like our game, no dis! Gus Johnson  is looking down and thinks I as dumb. or old as I am .This Baltimore boy is all in on the Wiz! Jon Wall is the man!!

[redrum52]

Surprised no one hasn't mentioned the Clippers owner yet in here...  Will be interesting to see how the team reacts.  Might be the first time fans root for the opposition.

[Purple_ICE 81]

OKC squeaks out of Memphis with the series tied. Durant looked like complete garbage tonight and has not been himself for the most part of the playoffs thus far. They wont make it far unless KD comes out of his shell and starts dominating and controlling the offensive side of the ball, he is missing way too many shots. I dont see the Thunder making it to the finals.

Yeah he was shadowed by Allen, great defense on his part. We will see if he can get back in his groove but they got the tie which is huge for them

From the tape...Donald Sterling seems like an old school southern dude...who is most definitely and obviously racist. I like Magic Johnson's comments that he will never attend another Clippers game again and that he feels sorry for Coach Doc Rivers, Chris Paul, Blake...and all those Clippers players who play for a racist owner. And who was the young latina girl from the audio tape...his elleged girl friend??? She looks old enough to be in high school maybe in her 20s and she is  dating a fat 80 year old businessman (I aint sayin she a gold digger...). Pretty weird situation...more absurd than the racism stuff in my opinion. 

 

 

Eager to see what type of discipline comes his way. Definitely an odd situation...especially when your team is looking good so far in the playoffs. 

[codizzle]

Memphis prolly just lost themselves the series because they didn't make free throws..

Pathetic

Didnt that cost them making the finals last year or 2 years ago? They havent been a good FT team for a while.

She's definitely a a gold digger. My guess was she had the tapes, tried to blackmail him and he said go ahead cause I'm not paying you.

It's haunted a hand full of times in the past..

Tonight was just horrendous.... 13 of 23 is unacceptable in high school

[BloodRaven]

I got around to listening to Sterlings comments and I didn't think they were that bad or shocking, like most religions his xenophobia was ingrained from birth.

 

Also that golddigger is a peice of work and set him up but it's good when people in a position of power get outed for idiotic views.

[Purple Punishment]

His comments were not anywhere near as hateful as Riley Coopers.

I said this earlier, My best friend that I fought side by side with in Iraq, he's a black guy. I'm white. We go back and forth making racist jokes on each other. If anyone would have recorded us, we would have both sounded like racist hate mongers but it's nothing but fun and jokes.

This sound clip was submitted by someone hoping to assassinate his character to TMZ. A company that loves to destroy people. I'm not saying the man didn't say it. The circumstances are kind of sketchy though.

[ratedr]

Sterling has a history of racist behavior so I'm not gonna give him the benefit of the doubt just because the messenger was suspect.

He apparently thinks he's running a charity. "I GIVE them houses and cars." What a [profanity deleted].

Oh wow. Well good thing I can change my opinion based on new information. No place in a diverse sport. He's not letting that team go without a fight when he should just walk away.

I hear that the team members are allowed to request to the league that they wish to be free agents when the season ends as they cannot be forced to work for the Clippers even by contract because the owner has shown controversial racist remarks. They should all leave and disband the Clippers. Make em start over from scratch

[Gordo52]

Talk about a hard day for Paul George. His house was robbed last night during the game...

http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=10856619

Thought this comment was funny:

That might explain why Roy Hibbert disappeared from the floor during the game. Hibbert is robbing the Pacers for millions of dollars now he is robbing his own teammates

He really reported a $20 bill getting stolen though? Lol

[Mt. Crushmore]

Sterling banned for life. Wow.

[Gordo52]

Sterling banned for life. Wow.

I agree with it but it's still shocking.

[1/28/01]

Wow!!!!!

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

A life time ban. As others have posted, wow!
