****The Official 2013-14 NBA Thread****

ha ha my heatle friends. my nets might just bag the 6th seed after all and then get toronto and miami in the 2nd. bwhahahahahaha. thought you could get away lebron? mirza doesnt think so

 

Good.

Maybe you'll shut the **** up for a change.


...who am I kidding. Even if you get swept you'll still talk.

 

I pray that we play those clowns in the second round.

 

No guarantee the Nets get past Toronto anyway.

But who cares? Heat are PP and Garnett's daddies in the playoffs in the Big 3 era. And that was with Rondo, Ray Allen, and a championship coach.

The Nets have a guy who can't even be bothered to wear a tie.

 

And that is one of the only things left that makes this forum enjoyable....

 

phil jackson's first move....sign lamar odom. lol

 

lol. man i love kidd. he rests all five starters plus some key bench players. how sick is our bench that we're playing 2nd and 3rd stringers and we're down only two at halftime? with washington beating the celtics we have a good shot at grabbing that sixth seed and setting sights on ol miami via toronto. hey kidd, time to bench the 2nd stringers now, they're playing too well lol

 

We did it!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man this is just

 

whoa. calm down there justin

 

Ended up losing by 29 pts. to a collection of D-Leaguers.

You really should wait till the end of games to talk up your team.

 

Hey...Harden sux

 

Cool bro story.

 

lol...i think we've established that.

 

That ESPN Computer Model actually nailed it's ridiculous prediction by predicting the Knicks likely 3 pt. dropoff.

They predicted 37 wins...and the Knicks got 37 wins. A lot of luck..but their method was pretty sound.

 

yeah it was beautiful. every turnover was a work of art

 

Forgive me if I don't go lay 30 Win totals bets at a Ceasers based on that crap.

 

That "crap" nailed NY's exact win total, and I think went like 26-4 on totals.

 

They put up another good number, then I'll buy in. Being a career gambler I have seen my fair share of fly by night systems.

 

Statistical Profile for NBA Champion:

Comparables from 1997 to Present:

1. Spurs *OFF/*DEF/+DRR/*Pt. DIFF
2. Thunder *OFF/+DEF/+DRR/*Pt. DIFF
3. Clippers *OFF/+DEF/-DRR/+Pt. DIFF
4. Heat *OFF/+DEF/-DRR/*Pt. DIFF

Only these four fit the profile, and in that order.

 

There should be a *LeBron there somewhere.

 

GSW is a team that should scare anyone at least a little bit. If they go red hot from the land of 3 they are a danger to anyone

 

Coaches in the NFL aren't allowed to wear suits. They are required to wear the team shirts that can then be sold as "Sideline Apparel".

And obviously the clothes don't matter. It was a joke.

But I do think the Biz Cas look needs to be earned. Pop can do it. J-Kidd has earned nothing.

 

He got a waiver for that one time.

Now coaches can wear suits twice per year

 

Those are the same four I have in my potential champion list although my order would be Spurs, Heat, OKC, Clippers.

 

We back in the playoffs. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get past the first round against the floppers

 

Mostly due to their overall record and insane Offensive Eff. number since March 1, and the Heat with their Restapalooza.

If you toss all the Resting, and games off/out for the Heat, they overtake OKC in 2nd.

What shocked me was that there were only 4 teams that met the Statistical profile of a Champion. Last year there were 5. (Knicks were ONE of them!) Year before 6, in 10' ...6.

 

houston rockets
point differential - 6th (miami is 5th)
off. efficiency - 4th (miami is 2nd)
def. efficiency - 12th (miami is 11th)
true shooting % - 2nd (miami is 1st)
rebound rate - 2nd (miami is 27th)
effective fg % - 3rd (miami is 1st)
turnover ratio - 28th (miami tied 28th)
same win/loss record.

 

LeBron James - Miami (Hou doesn't have a LeBron James)

 

Honestly a Rocket - Heat final could be fun to watch.

 

Absolutely love Del Rio.

 

You posted 7 categories.

The Heat is better than Houston in 5 of them. Houston is better in 1. Tied in 1. (You put Reb. rate which is irrelevant. Def. Reb. rate is what matters. Houston is 20th, Miami is 24th.)

So..to recap...in the 7 categories you posted...Miami is better in 5 of them, Houston is better in 1. The records are the same.

Now...for CONTEXT.

Heat missed 67 games from Starters. Their second best player missed 28 games. They played 22 different starting lineups due to injury. Yet still have a better statistical profile than the Rockets. Why?

 

Erik Spoelstra and Lebron James?
