Topic: NBA 2012 Season

di ko na yata naabutan yun, some said Bird was one of the best too..

But for me I think Ray Allen is the best pure shooter, and his form and stroke is just so smooth..

drazen is reggie's idol...

Isa lang ang sure sa NBA ngayon :  Its Unpredictability.  Sino magaakala na Bulls e sibak sa first round?  Tapos ang Sixers na game 7 ang Boston.  Down 0-2 ang Spurs, sabi natin sweep ang OKC.  Baligtad ang nangyari, OKC swept Spurs in the next 4 games.  Down 3-2 ang Miami, sabi natin ala na kasi sa Boston ang Game 6.  Lebron answered with two consecutive huge games. 

The other teams are also rebuilding.  Lakes I'm sure di papatalo yun.  So for next year, gagaling din ibang teams.  I think it's safe to say na one of them (OKC or Miami) will be back in the finals.

As for this series going to game 7, yan din prediction ko nun -- Miami in 7.  Pero parang hindi na aabot

yeah, this is one of the best playoffs and Finals I've seen.. last time was during Kobe and Shaq's first championship.. That Lakers-Blazers in WCF is unforgettable..

happy happy siguro si Stern this year, after lock out he got what he wanted in terms of ratings..

[beknat]

Bah! OKC was down 0-2 and won the series versus SA. It's just 1-2 against them right now, so, the series is too close to call.

malaki ang pagkaka-iba nun, remember down sila ng 0-2 kaso yung next game nila nun ay sa home nila, ngayon the next 2 games ay sa bahay pa din ng Miami.

sa East malamang Heat pa rin ang papasok. i don't think anyone in the East can match up with the Heat right now and Derrick Rose will sure show some rust once he plays again next season. sana next year the Knicks will be better and offer some challenge to Miami and once again rekindle their late 90's rivalry.

on the West naman malaki chance din na makabalik ang OKC. that team is built to last for a good 5 years or more. as I've said earlier this season, the Spurs' core of Ginobili, Parker and Duncan will just grow older and they won't be able to keep up with OKC specially now that they have Finals experience. as much as i love Kobe and the Lakers, if they trade Gasol they will need more time again to develop their chemistry. hopefully, they will become more accustomed to Mike Brown's system next year. the Clippers will need a better coach than del Negro but even with a better coach they're still not contenders. everything that will happen in the West will depend on West teams' movement in the off season.

I'd take my chances on a 1-2 deficit on the road than a 0-2 hole, even if the next two are at home. With the 1 victory tucked in, you know you can beat them. With a 0-2 hole, you begin to doubt.

[beknat]

Top 5 Shooters (IMO)
in no particular order

Reggie Miller
Ray Allen
Steve Kerr
Peja Stojakovic
Glen Rice

[Gob_Loves_Sony]

chuck person will be included in my list..

hindi din sir kasi 0-2 ka nga pero alam mo nmn na sa next game ay sa home ninyo gaganapin kaya may chance mo pa manalo. kesa 1-2 tapos next games ay sa road kayo maglalaro medyo mag-iisip-isip ka na din.

[Battousai]

drazen is reggie's idol...

Say what? I didn't know that. Drazen was wasting in Portland when Miller was lighting it up already in Indiana. Petrovic only shined when he was in New Jersey. Pity, really, that he died so young.

[Superman]

Miller Time is overrated?? WHAT?? I would dare say underrated, in fact...he deserves to be a Hall of Famer...If I had a basketball team of my own, I would love to have him on my team...

Yep.  In one video i saw, heto sinabi ni Miller, as far as my failing memory serves me,

" (Reggie) i think I am the best shooter ever,but there is one player he tops me ,his name is Drazen Petrovic..."

Well, I don't buy into that. A win is the biggest morale booster your team can have. You bypass desperation and doubt with a victory. It makes you feel confident, even if the next game is on the road. A young team like OKC, in the grandest stage of the NBA, going down 0-2 is a whole different kind of pressure. It's harder to convince yourself you can win against an opponent that has yet to lose IMHO.

[warmaster]

i expect game 4 to be a battle. OKC knows that they can beat the heat, they just need to execute offensively and defensively. so far wala pa rin namang blow out na nangyayari so it's a neck and neck fight just what a championship game should be. sana lang wag bumitaw agad ang Thunder para mas maganda ang laban

Yep.  Game 3 was actually a game of errors.  Heat committed more turnovers with 12 vs the 11 of OKC but OKC's errors were more stupid and glaring.  Up 10 pts and ready to blow out the game, OKC fouled a 3 pt shooter not once but twice.  WTF? And then in the 4th, OKC still in the game, Harden masyadong dumikit kay Lebron for a blocking foul.  That was, as Meta World Peace twitted, "All Beard, No Brain".

And yes, FTs decided the game.  The best shooting team in the NBA choked big time in a 15 of 24 FTs.  Kung na shoot nyo lang ang 7 dun, panalo na dapat eh.  Tsk tsk.  Also bear in mind that the Heat shot a horrendous 36% FG.  And still won.  Paano kung gumana pa yan

Anything can happen still.  Just 1 win by OKC and they're back on track definitely.  Everybody wants them to win.  But as I said, the NBA is unpredictable.  Who knows, baka hanggang Friday na lang ang Finals

[Yunarce]

Badtrip wala pala games ng sat or sun dito sa pinas.

[anya618]

a win by okc will make it a best of 3 series

[Onkyo606]

^ I think we can compare him to Marbury during his Twolves days, when he has KG on his side..

this one i agree

westbrook is good when he is good

rose even on a bad day still does things for his team, while he is the superstar of the team, he is not a ball hog and gets team mate involved properly

si westbrook papasa lang pag alanganin na sya and yung outside shooting pag swerte lang sya.

[dpogs]

nakakakaba ang finals na ito.. pambihira... malakas ang OKC... bad trip...

sana tuloy tuloy lang ang pagiging malas ng OKC... Miami... tatapusin ang laro ng game 5.

[Onkyo606]

a win by okc will make it a best of 3 series

di ba a win will make it 2-2?

[anya618]

hindi ko ata naisip yun ah? now thats an analysis

Si Westbrook naman reminds me so much of Steve Francis during his prime...

ano na nangyari dito? retired na ba?

[Gob_Loves_Sony]

tingin ko si derrick rose next season hindi n ganun kagaling...

[bunnygod]

Miller Time is overrated?? WHAT?? I would dare say underrated, in fact...he deserves to be a Hall of Famer...If I had a basketball team of my own, I would love to have him on my team...

oh yes, miller is my starting SG on my own NBA-All Time team!
PG - J Kidd / SF - D Schrempf / PF - C Webber / C - Rik Smits

[leomarley]

Webber? really? I'd pick Malone/Barkley over Webber.

[Onkyo606]

but steve francis is almost a franchise player, smart player and does not commit much mistakes as Westbrook, may sureball from the outside and has very good basketball sense

sabagay, baka naman next year mag settle down si westbrook and mag gain ng much needed maturity and control

[Onkyo606]

Webber? really? I'd pick Malone/Barkley over Webber.

ahhh Webber, tingin ko ito ang dapat na tinatawag na choker talaga, from his Michigan days to his NBA years, kaya laging na trade, when the game is on the line, Webber just vanishes everytime.

[Gob_Loves_Sony]

my ultimate line up.....

maxwell , artest, chuck person , barkley, laimbeer

lets get it on!!!

[5zig3n]

hindi ko ata naisip yun ah? now thats an analysis

analyze kasi tayo ng analyze eh, why can't we make it simpler by saying..

ang natalo, olats.

i agree with Battousai 100%

if a team is in the NBA Finals, it means that team can win.. homecourt or on the road.
