Arena The NBA Thread

apparently the last time a player had a 20+ point game, 20+ rebound game and a 10+ block game was the mighty Shawn Bradley in the late 90's.

 

Hate the Heat? Couldn't stand the Harlem Shake craze of last month? This video is for you!

 

Inty's probably sending you death glares right now Tunick

 

great game between the grizz and heat coming down to the wire.

edit: disappointing finish. still a good game.

 

did anyone hear about a basketball player getting murdered recently? my mom said she heard something about it on a commercial for the news, but didn't get a chance to watch the rest of it and i'm only getting older murders when i look it up on the interwebs. just figured i'd see if any of you heard about it.

 

Might of been a high school player or something, because I haven't heard of any college/NBA players being murdered.

However, Tony Parker is out for a month with a grade 2 ankle sprain.

 

must have been. because i haven't been able to find anything either.

 

You sure she wasn't just watching a Cavs game?

BAM

 

Heat at Knicks, Thunder at the other L.A. professional basketball team, Hawks at Lakers


What a Sunday for basketball!

 

Niiiiicely done, MyKe. I've sat courtside at Staples 4 times since 2008 (always in the same section too: 107, behind the basket near the visitor's bench... 4 rows behind the Nicholson seats), and felt like a kid on Christmas morning each time (Lakers going 3-1 in those games).



Knicks up by 4 going into the 4th... Miami keeps getting that close, but can't seem to get that lead.

 

video's dead, unfortunately

EDIT

looks like the heat are going to win this at the end.

EDIT 2

yep. heat win. sounds like it was a crazy game for them to end up winning.

 

A Knick collapse (a 15 point half time lead) + LeBron's 12 4th quarter points will do that. OKC/the other pro L.A. basketball team should be a close one, hopefully... it's still a bit odd to see that other L.A. pro team getting the prime ESPN Sunday telecast.

 

Because Barnes' 3-pointer counted (and after Griffin hit 1 of the free throws), that foul ended being a 7 point swing for the other L.A. pro basketball team. Thankfully OKC withstood that momentum (a Russell Westbrook steal with about 27 seconds left to go helped greatly) to escape with the win.

 

is it really so heard to say clippers armen?

and that ended up being a helluva game in the 4th.

 

wouldn't be at all surprised to see that foul upgraded to a flagrant 2 and a one game suspension.

 

damn. took me a few seconds to realize who that was.

 

For the time being, yes. And speaking of them, it's still a bit of a mind **** to watch a home game of theirs in the afternoon, and then a Laker home game a mere 3+ hours later.

 

Even though he looked almost unrecognizable, I figured the guy in the green jersey was LeBron. Carmelo I recognized right off. His facial features haven't changed much.

 

still took me a few seconds simply because i don't see them that much.

on another note helluva shot from kobe to end the 3rd.

EDIT

i'm having trouble understanding why horfords tip in there is being waved off...

 

That was a sight to see, especially since the Lakers are likely going to be thankful to have those 3 extra points (Atlanta, and in particular Devin Harris) are being rather pesky tonight).

 

indeed they are. been an interesting game since late in the third.
