What a clutch shot from curry and the huge block by jermaine o neal

steelcrazy · « **Reply #2642 on:** Apr 02, 2014 at 04:01 PM »

Nice win by the Nets, actually I like them better on the 4th seed so they can set up a semis series against the Heat.
Team chemistry is definitely very good with the current roster despite injuries to Brook Lopez and KG.
Jason Kidd should atleast be nominated as Coach of the Year together with fellow rookie coach Jeff Hornacek.

For the East Final 4
Heat vs Nets
Pacers vs Bulls

For the West Final 4
Spurs vs Rockets
OKC vs Clippers

IMO, no way in hell should Kidd be nominated for COY ....... kudos for the recovery, but overall its still has been a mildy disappointing season for the loaded NETS.

Far more worthier candidates than Kidd ...... Hornacek (concensus top candidate), Casey (best RAPTORS in quite a long time), Thibs (no Rose, no Deng, inept Boozer, BULLS still contenders), Stotts (Aldridge, Lillard & mid-tier pros, TBLAZERS one time leading the West), Joerger (GRIZZLIES still elite defense, despite losing Gasol for a long time), etc ...... I'd even nominate Brooks & Pops, who has been absolutely masterful despite long injuries to elite PG's like Westbrook & Parker.

I actually have high hopes Jeff Hornacek for Coach of the Year. I think he is seriously ahead among his peers.

rusty · « **Reply #2645 on:** Apr 02, 2014 at 08:50 PM »

Pops should win every year, but I think Hornacek will win it.

No doubt Hornacek deserves the COY but Kidd also deserve to be nominated.
Remember some even predicted he'll be fired before Christmas last year when the Nets were really struggling with the acquisitions of a veteran crew from the Celtics at the start of the season?
Through a little time and patience Kidd has molded the Nets into a competitive playoff team by taming Deron Williams, resurrect the all stars in Johnson and Pierce, revived the career of Livingston, installed confidence into Blatche and he has done all that w/o his prized center Brook Lopez and Garnett.

Wow iyak ang dallas. Haha. Nafeature pa yung block as block of the night. Lol

Knick now on 8th seed in the east. Mukhang may impact un presence of Philjax as President as they are moving the ball well and playing inspired basketball.

Kidd named Coach of the month for March.

Btw does the Spurs own the longest winning streak by any team so far this season?
There next game against OKC will be fun to watch if they can make it 20 in a row.

Saklap sa Mavs, na ulit 'yung kapalpakan ng refs

Wiggum · « **Reply #2652 on:** Apr 03, 2014 at 05:55 PM »

Hard to tell from this angle. Tough luck for the Mavs.

Should be a good one tomorrow: SAS vs. OKC. But it's going to be the second game of a back-to-back for the Spurs. Baka magka-topak na naman si Coach Pop with his DNP-CDs.

frequenzy · « **Reply #2653 on:** Apr 03, 2014 at 06:10 PM »

para sa akin 50/50 even when seeing the replay. nba shouldn't have apologized.

rusty · « **Reply #2654 on:** Apr 03, 2014 at 09:50 PM »

Mukhang goaltend nga, but that's really tough to call in a live game.

The Mavs were a beneficiary of a bad call late in the game against the Twolves earlier this year, so it just evens out.

Yet no reversal of the outcome?

XanderCage · « **Reply #2656 on:** Apr 04, 2014 at 01:53 AM »

wala naman talaga reversal yun kahit admitted na mali yung officiating. ilang beses na nangyari yun. final na yung score always.

rusty · « **Reply #2657 on:** Apr 04, 2014 at 06:07 AM »

It doesn't really mean anything when NBA admits to bad officiating. it's merely damage control for the image of refs.

And when the call is really really bad, like this one, they don't even admit to anything.

EDIT: Another missed call benefiting the Mavs that the NBA admitted to - NBA: Missed call in Pelicans-Mavs

newwaveboy · « **Reply #2658 on:** Apr 04, 2014 at 07:00 AM »

I like the NBA's policy of reviewing blown/missed calls ....... it is part damage control, but it's better than nothing at all.

Even Mark Cuban, easily the most vocal critic of NBA officials and officiating, has applauded what the NBA has been trying to do recently.

As for that Jermaine O'Neal "block", I'd give the refs a pass on that one ...... it was very close on some angles of the slomo replay; cant imagine the difficulty to judge it as it happens live.

Maybe someday the NBA can implement a challenge-rule of sorts, for some scenarios ....... maybe give teams, 1 challenge per game - so obviously coaches will opt to use it on crucial spots, say a tight Q4 or OT.

A very tight race and probably one of the best in recent years. Who's going to take the last 2 spots in the West when 3 teams are tied. Mavs, Grizzlies and Suns.

Who's your bet? I want the Grizz and Suns

Mavs and Grizz nlng in terms of experience to pit against Spurs and Thunder in the 1st round.

Yes but they wont make it did even the 1st round against SAS o OKC.
With the Mavs and Grizz, mas maganda un series for us to watch at bka makasilat pa sila since both are veteran teams.

XanderCage · « **Reply #2663 on:** Apr 04, 2014 at 10:47 PM »

Mavs and Grizz na lang for the last 2 spots. Feeling ko kasi ma sweep lang yung Suns sa first round. hehe.

I remember the upset that 8th seed Golden State gave the mavs, that was an exciting series.

I like the chances of Dallas and Memphis right now. Natalo pa ng Dallas ang Clips, next two games namin easy stretch na. (Masabi ako ng "namin" eh noh? Haha)

Here are the remaining games for the other contenders (Mem, PHX)

Toughest stretch and Suns.

2 great games today. Watched both

NYK WAS -- Beal with the game winner and Melo with the game loser

MIA MIN -- 2 OT. Love with a crucial triple

rusty · « **Reply #2667 on:** Apr 05, 2014 at 01:54 PM »

The Twolves just got mathematically eliminated from the playoffs on the night that they defeated the Heat in 2OT.

Panalo lahat ang DAL, PHX, MEM at GS. Ang higpit ng playoff race.

Pacers still sliding....

Lupit ni beal. Last matchup nila sa knicks 1 pt win din ng washington via his layup. And now siya ulit with a clutch shot.

If the Suns miss out in the WC playoff race, the Toronto Raptors' coach, Dwane Casey, could bag the Coach of the Year award instead of Jeff Hornacek. What he's done for the Raptors this year, given the personnel they have, is impressive. I know it's the East, but still quite an achievement.
