2120264, PDX v LAC on back-to-back nights is the lamest scheduling imaginable
Posted by celery77, Sun Jan-27-13 11:34 AM
if there's one CLEAR way the NBA could improve the league with a structural change, it would be improving the scheduling (and probably playing less games).

back to back in Portland one night, LA the other, with the same two teams playing doesn't give me much confidence that tonight's game will be particularly pleasing to watch, but we'll see...
2120289, ehh, that's a 2hr flight, not that big a deal
Posted by bentagain, Sun Jan-27-13 01:24 PM
there are worse scheduling issues

probably works in POR favor anyway

that game was over by 10

LAC probably didn't get home before 2AM

if they left after the game

while POR players went home
2120293, have you ever read about how pressurized cabins have an effect?
Posted by celery77, Sun Jan-27-13 01:29 PM
I've read some dudes have taken to wearing like compression sleeves on their legs while they're in flight because doctors are saying that the physiological effects of flying affect an athlete's physical performance.

it's more than just sleep deficits, there's a physical toll in flying. I guess chartered flights mitigate that, but still ... NBA could do better, that's the main point.
2120305, my issue with your point, and the bigger issue I guess you're alluding
Posted by bentagain, Sun Jan-27-13 02:24 PM
to

if that is the case

that pressurized cabins have an effect, etc...

you could make that argument for any team having to fly in for a game

which would almost eliminate back to back to backs

and some back to backs

unless, as you said earlier, the league eliminates games from the schedules

= -$$$ (not happening)

I don't think a POR/LAC home and away is the case to base this argument

for ex:

LAC could have caught the flight home last night

how much time, according to your research, does an athlete need to be 100% after a flight

is there an hours of acclimation to hours of flight ratio

POR could have done the same, but I suspect they chose to sleep at home and catch a morning flight

and I would expect that would leave them enough time to recuperate

after a 2hr flight

just my opinion though

2120278, no Rondo? scale of 1-10, how unwatchably bad will Old Boston be today?
Posted by celery77, Sun Jan-27-13 01:02 PM
I'm saying at least an 8 on the complete unwatchability scale, I'll be shocked if they do anything besides studio thug around and brick jumpers for 48 minutes -- way to ruin my Sunday morning Rondo's knee.

Posted by celery77, Sun Jan-27-13 01:27 PM
2120303, Why's that? The gap has closed imo but def still gray area
Posted by LA2Philly, Sun Jan-27-13 02:14 PM
The biggest issue with OKC vs Miami is their lack of an interior paint presence. Miami is the one team that can play them defensively on the perimeter but OKC lacks the big who can punish them offensively for their rotations.
2120304, OKC were the favorites going into the finals last yr......
Posted by southphillyman, Sun Jan-27-13 02:21 PM
wouldn't put too much stock in comparing any team against the Heat before the ASG
2120325, they are. heatles are just half-assing the regular season
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sun Jan-27-13 02:47 PM
and probably the first 2 rounds of the playoffs.
2120337, bron can still bron it
Posted by rob, Sun Jan-27-13 03:05 PM
the heat can be a better team than the thunder

but the thunder can be a better team than the heat and still get bronned
2120350, yeah, but KD is on them bath salts this year
Posted by bentagain, Sun Jan-27-13 03:26 PM
That dude is out for blood!

I have more confidence in OKC going into the offs healthy

unless MIA addresses their frontcourt/rebounding issue

I got OKC as the best team in the NBA today
2120392, every thing u said was true last yr and KD still went home in 5
Posted by southphillyman, Sun Jan-27-13 03:51 PM
2120395, I honestly don't see a big difference between KD this year and last.
Posted by Ryan M, Sun Jan-27-13 03:54 PM
Miami is still the obvious choice for the title.
2120538, It's not a big difference, just like Bron didn't make a huge adjustment
Posted by bentagain, Sun Jan-27-13 05:32 PM
it's just developing that killer instinct

going for the jugular

KD was the friendly competitor last year

this year he's mean and doesn't give a fuck

a big adjustment isn't necessary

he played at a championship level last year

being an asshole might be the little be he needs to finish a champion.
2120614, Much more aggressive to the paint & passing more effectively
Posted by LA2Philly, Sun Jan-27-13 07:12 PM
In general, he's reading the game better than he was last year which is particularly important due to the fact that he has more on-ball responsibility with Harden leaving.
2120712, yes unless the Heat play some defense.. then it's Miami's to lose..

2120306, So...Rondo ACL?
Posted by murph71, Sun Jan-27-13 02:34 PM


It's being reported that Rondo tore his ACL...The news hasn't officially come out (Dorris Burke said that's the early word during the game broadcast)...

Tough break if that's true...
2120308, I think I tore mine yesterday...and today is my birthday on top of it
Posted by auragin_boi, Sun Jan-27-13 02:37 PM
then I see Doris Burke report that then I get uber depressed even more.

SMH.

Going to the doc or emergency room tomorrow to get confirmation.

There's not a lot of swelling, I can walk, no super restrictions in movement but if I turn in the wrong way there's some slight pain and instability.

Damn for Rondo and damn for me and damn for anyone who's torn this ligament.
2120315, is there a bruise?
Posted by bentagain, Sun Jan-27-13 02:40 PM
when I tore mine there was a small bruise on my knee

I guess from the tear a small pool of blood had collected

the instability for me was falling to the ground like a house of cards
2120505, No bruise...just sorness on the back of the knee.
Posted by auragin_boi, Sun Jan-27-13 04:59 PM
and I can't plant a certain way without pain.
2120319, can you plant/move laterally at all?
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Sun Jan-27-13 02:42 PM
2120506, One way yes, in the opposite direction, no...it hurts
Posted by auragin_boi, Sun Jan-27-13 05:00 PM
2120321, Holla at that MRI pronto
Posted by Numba_33, Sun Jan-27-13 02:44 PM
Hopefully you didn't fully hear it and surgery won't be necessary. I had a slight tear in my MCL last summer and luckily I didn't need surgery. Get a brace, ice that bad boy down, elevate your knee above your heart and hope for the best.
2120508, They usually advise a few days for swelling to go down
Posted by auragin_boi, Sun Jan-27-13 05:03 PM
Tomorrow will be two days so I'm going then.

>Hopefully you didn't fully hear it and surgery won't be

>luckily I didn't need surgery. Get a brace, ice that bad boy

It could be a partial (I'm praying) but I fear the worse. I saw the play Rondo tore his on and his reaction and it's EXACTLY what happened to me.

On a landing, heel skidded out on the landing, knee buckled, I limped about 4 steps. Sat for a few cuz I thought it was a tweak, pain subsided, got up to run the next game, tried to jump/turn for a rebound...it didn't feel right. I called it a day.

Over the next 30 min swelling kicked in but I already had ice on it.

Damn, homie....I hope that's not the prognosis for you....Wishing you luck...
2120509, Thanks.

2120330, stay up dude.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sun Jan-27-13 02:49 PM
2120510, As much as possible...but man, can't help this initial depression
Posted by auragin_boi, Sun Jan-27-13 05:05 PM
2120353, damn, good luck with the diagnosis
Posted by rob, Sun Jan-27-13 03:28 PM

2120515, Thanks robe

2120376, Sorry to hear it...but happy birthday.
Posted by Ryan M, Sun Jan-27-13 03:41 PM
2120516, Thanks Ryan! The injury + the age change made me feel old lol
Posted by auragin_boi, Sun Jan-27-13 05:08 PM
2120378, if you tore your ACL...you'd know. aint no moving around
Posted by Binlahab, Sun Jan-27-13 03:43 PM
you CAN walk but its painful as shit to do so & running is out of the question


do or die
2120399, didn't Rondo finish the game? he said he only felt soreness

2120400, Bin is NEVER wrong.
Posted by Ryan M, Sun Jan-27-13 03:56 PM
2120429, ^^^^ nm
Posted by Binlahab, Sun Jan-27-13 04:09 PM

do or die
2120514, Not True...Rondo went through shootaround this morning
Posted by auragin_boi, Sun Jan-27-13 05:07 PM
And the play he tore it on...Friday vs the Hawks is exactly what happened with me.

What you're talking about is when it pops on a jump (Rose/Shumpert)...me and Rondo's ripped on a landing/plant.

Different pain/duration but same effect - torn ligament.
2120546, keep ya head up and get well soon
Posted by rl9, Sun Jan-27-13 05:34 PM
2120309, yup

kind of expect them to play inspired
plus they know they won't get to avenge that ECF L this year (or in the near future)
so might as well put their all into this regular season match up

ABC stops being scared of football, starts running NBA all the time, college ball is more frequent on TV

Posted by Nodima, Sun Jan-27-13 03:57 PM
obviously it helps to play him but Doc hasn't been giving Bradley many clutch minutes since he came back, or at least hasn't been eager to.

The key is the motion and the distribution.

This wasn't Kobe just one-on-oneing it. It had built
in distributions of movements and cuts.

Posted by LA2Philly, Sun Jan-27-13 06:40 PM
That offense wasn't predicated on only Webber...it was based on Webber, Vlade and the screen-roll 2 man game. Having two of the best passing bigs completely opened up that offense because you can run high post and high-low from any angle. It's not nearly the same thing that Eddie Jordan was running which is a traditional Princeton.

You already know this shit as we went over it but you're just acting brand new now. Having been down this road multiple times and the fact you won't have actual honest discourse, I'm out.

when he goes 8-35 next game you'll hate him again
nice win for the lakers but the team has a ton of work to do over a sustained period. calm down
2120597, Gotta start somewhere.

Posted by Cold Truth, Sun Jan-27-13 07:32 PM
Anyhow, he's done this god knows how many times before. He could do it whenever he wanted if he so chose. At the end of the day this isn't a new Kobe or anything, it's just a couple of games where he'll show how effective he can be while playing this style, and it'll be business as usual a few games from now.
2120635, that's kind of where I'm at with it, it was a good weekend for Show tho
