The Week 7 NBA Thread - where Coby White may soon go past Devin Booker

[Iceman!]

Your point is rubbish. But yeah keep using those capital letters to go with your hyperbole.

It isn’t, you are offended and whining about a guy for doing something that is extremely common yet you don’t have the same angst over the rest. But go off

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Being a former Hornets fan and obviously now a Pelicans fan I'd like to see us finally win something ... even make a final would be good - I don't even care if it's an in season tournament.

 

[Iceman!]

You don't need to back down.
He plays for a team who gets kissed on the dick on a nightly basis by the officials then call for a public inquest when LeBron doesn't get a call. Reeves is perfectly symbolic of the team he plays for and what they stand for.

Teams don’t like them calls go against them? What a shocker?

You can’t support Smart for years and cry about Reaves being a blight on the sport. It’s not hard to understand.

2 of the PAcers players will double their yearly salary if they win the tournament

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

LeBron with the ice in vein gesture after making a bloody hard 3

He is an entertainer, if nothing else.

Pels offence has totally tried.

CJ needs to get his shooting stroke back ASAP

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Assuming the Lakers win, I think the NBA should go the whole way and have both teams play in their yellow jerseys for the final !! Would make for an interesting spectacle

 

[Son of Skeletor]

We really do let go the rope and embarrass ourselves. Nothing to do with talent.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Smart was bad but never as bad or blatant as Reaves is imo. But then again I am biased.

Smart's probably been the most egregious flopper in the league in the last decade, which almost by default makes him the worst ever.

Not Boston's problem anymore. Jrue is a massive upgrade.

Great to see LeFlop named in this list though, which justifies apollo_creed's opinions about him and the Lakers

 

[LukeHodge15]

It's not just Lebron. Austin Reaves is a parasite on the game with blatant cheating/flopping.

Someone needs to Kevin McHale that fool !

My pick, Sam Hauser on Christmas Day !

Such a tool

I think peternorth 's point was that calling for Reaves to be physically clotheslined is rather capricious given the current state of the NBA. He wasn't pretending that Reaves never flops.

It's like injury trolling. Poor form, no matter the team or the player. And I say this as someone who has made numerous detailed posts about the Lakers, the league, media influence and officiating.

no he's a grizz now, but will always be best known as a celtic flopper.

Well fair enough. Can't dispute that (no point in doing so)

I'll try keep the Lakers/officiating whining right on a minimum, at least until Christmas Day (where the Celts play the Lakers in Tinsletown)

I have prolly being too obsessed with officiating of Lakers games lately, i am honestly determined to cut back on that a lot.

Really impressed with The Brow's form lately.. If he can maintain it in the playoffs (a big if) I think the Lakers are good things to win the West, provided Lebron stays healthy

Has LeBron ever missed a playoff game? I think its more if Davis can stay healthy

Indy will have 97% of the league for the Final.

I seem to recall him being talked up as dpoy only last year....

You mean 99.7

 

[peternorth]

Great win by the Lakers. Particularly given their 40+ loss to the sixers recently. The jobs not done yet of course especially against the leagues hot Pacers team.

Definitely rooting for the Lakeshow in the IST final Petey, given all the hardships and pain you have experienced as a sports fan (Richmond Liverpool, Mel Victory) in the last 10 years as well as what you copped from a former celebrity perma bant fan from Ballart

If Pacers beat Celtics / Bucks / Lakers to win it, you gotta be impressed.

 

[fidstar]

While I realise that the Spurs roster sucks, when will anyone talk about Pop leading teams to 20-75 in his last 95 games?

And that followed 3 years of sub 35 win seasons.

Anyone else would be out.

 

[Memphis]

HALI-GOAT-ON !

His dad's reaction was priceless !

What a player

Every game he plays it would be hard as a Kings fan to see how good he is becoming.

They should never have traded him.

Curious, how did you go from a hornets fan to a pelicans fan?

Because it's pop...

Arguably the goat head coach the man deserves anything that franchise has to offer, there are not many consistently kept a team in the title contending for 20 years.

If you went through 20 year dynasty with Kerr I'm sure you'd leave well enough alone.

Pop leaves when Pop says it's time he's earnt that.

If the Pacers win, I and I think many many laker fans wouldnt begrudge them.
