Nba-- basketball fan

I'm an Atlanta Hawks fan. Unfortunately, I don't really know too much about basketball, but Golden State and San Antonio are dominant this year. GSW are on an absolute tear, but the Spurs are there or there abouts usually.

When I was visiting Atlanta, I went down to Phillips Arena and impulsively brought a nosebleed ticket, on the first game of the Eastern Conference finals. Don't usually follow basketball, but I wanted to see NBA (after seeing an NFL game in Denver, and considering I was going to see the Atlanta Braves play on the weekend, also while I was in Atlanta.)

So, yeah, I basically paid $99 when I was in Atlanta for the privilege of seeing LeBron get a triple-double in the Phillips Arena. ATL was down by a lot, but showed some fight. Shame the rest of that series didn't work out. Teague showed why he is a beast though.

Teague is a beast, not sure what Atlanta is missing though, they go under the radar a lot even though their record was quite good last year. Wow watching LeBron must have been a great honour. I'm a huge fan of his, he does so much for basketball on and off the court, seems very down to earth too with all the humanitarian work he does. Can't wait for Kyrie to return too, he always makes games more enjoyable to watch.

Not a fan of the Warriors at all, I find Klay and Green to be obnoxious idiots. Although they are VERY good players, both underrated in my opinion which adds to Stephs credentials undeservedly so. But I like Curry a lot as an individual, seems very relaxed and confident but doesn't have a bad word to say about anyone.

Spurs is a great franchise overall, Kawhi is an amazing player. Pop has the be one of the best coaches of all time. Not been watching much of them since I prefer the more physically dynamic teams such as OKC and Sacremento and Clippers but they'll definitely be a danger. Personally I'm hoping they at least knock GSW out in the playoffs when the time comes.

To me, its obvious that the hawks will make the playoffs. I hate the Warriors except Curry. I believe the Spurs are capable of stopping them from the title. The Bulls are good enough to beat any team, Drose is not playing as usual because I think he is scared of an injury.

Never say die attitude from the Dubs was excellent. Got out with the win despite the awful defense. Definitely gotta improve else the Spurs on Jan 25th will kill us.

Urgh Draymond is such a good player it's sickening. Would have him on my team than Curry any day, such a gem.

He came up huge in the 4th, had 8 straight points at one point. Plus this season he's been a bit of a triple-double machine.

a battle between Aldridge vs Draymond will be interesting to watch. Draymond is important for the Warriors but as i hate them i would like any team to spoil them properly. they havent meet the CAVS, Spurs and my KNICKS. if the Clippers play "small ball" like them, they will dominate

Doc Rivers has an old school type of coaching. he thinks elite players= excellent team= NBA Championship.
Now Paul Pierce is a bench player, last year in Washington he was hooping like rookie, now Doc has switched him off. he can't even shoot. DJ is only good at Blocks and Rebounds. they are only 3 keys on the Clippers: CP3,Griffin and Crawford.
same thing in Houston, they lack chemistry... good PG like Ty Lawson is now a bench player because of inconsistency,now he want to be traded(i hope he comes to the Knicks).

BTW Do you mind if I created a template that you could change your first post to, for like information about basketball and stuff since we don't have our own sub forum, and is it possible to change the thread title?

about the post i don't know whether the thread title can be changed. maybe you can ask to this TSR moderator

Anthony Davis? no way... he has signed a 5 years contracts with the pelicans last summer, i think 150 millions over 5 years. my knicks beat the bulls last night and Butler has accused his Coach, saying he is not severe enough

about the post i don't know whether the thread title can be changed. maybe you can ask to this TSR moderator

For the new thread name was just thinking we could copy the American Football template and go with 'NBA Talk I' what do you guys think? I've noticed our sport gets by far the fewest views though Not sure about the post 1 atm, was probably thinking about linking a good app to download to keep up with scores (clutchpoints) and some facebook pages like basketball forever and NBA on TNT, maybe a link to big schedules and stuff all star player candidates this season?

Just throwing ideas out there hehe, this is fun! BASKETBALL IS FUN!

Oh another thing we could do is have a list of the teams and regulars on this thread and who supports what team

I'm thinking something that could all work.
