2013 Playoffs Discussion Thread

[Pelicans78]

Ok dantoni never had multiple press conferences saying he was worried about playing. Him too much and wanted to rest him. Cause he's older and needs it. I must of dreamed them up.

He talked about it but he never did anything about it.

Ding!

You can see alot just by watching.

[kclaboy504]

Yes it did. After I ranked my top 5, you "C'mon man"'d me about picking Wade and Bryant "at this stage of their careers" (Which you are saying is the decline).

Ok your misunderstanding me. What i mean is it is 2 separate discussions in itself.

What about an average do you not understand. You can talk about being worried about minutes but when he plays more than his average, your point about him "not being able to play more minutes" is wrong. He not only COULD play more minutes. He DID.

Yep sure did. And how did Kobe finish the season?? Oh that's right.

Actually you are wrong on this one. D'antoni kept getting much criticism about Kobe playing more minutes than he's played in years. Media mostly saying that Kobe needed the rest and shouldn't be playing so many minutes. He was forced to address the issue he kept getting questioned about. Kobe NEVER said he needed less minutes and D'antoni NEVER said Kobe needed less minutes. And at no point could D'antoni have limited those minutes anyway. He proved he could handle it and had one of his best seasons ever.

And like I said look where it got him

[42]

average = overage = too old = decline

that is the logic being presented as I see it.

[BallSoHard]

Peak oil.

What on earth are you even trying to imply?

They popped his tendon to limit his minutes?

Is everyone looking at this"?

And like I just said 3 times. Look where it got him. He's old and only has a year or 2 left guys face it. But yet he is still peaking. I'd love to have this conversation with basketball analyst and see how hard they laugh when u guys try n convince them how wade and Kobe aren't in the declining stages of their careers.

You're just spitting random crap out now.

What I'm saying is with better rest he probably could of avoided injury.

[Snarly]

So, we've pretty much saw GSW best tonight... at least on the offensive side. If GSW want to get back into the series, they better learn how to close games. You can certainly believe that this was not San Antonio's best game... and yet they pulled it out.

Was Rose's injury because of playing too many minutes? Or just Kobe?

[BallSoHard]

What I'm saying is with better rest he probably could of avoided injury.

Did that help Rose? Do you have a medical background?

Peaking like in his career? Peaking like between the sheets in Denver?

Peekling like peek-a-boo I see you?

piquing like awakening interest sharply?

[kclaboy504]

If he was tested better he couldn't have lasted longer?? Look at spurs aging guys. They get much rest and are balling rt now injury free. Rest does wonders for older guys.

Not only am I looking, but this is perhaps the most entertainment I've had all week... finals

Being serious?

Tony Parker JUST came back from Injury. Manu is still injured.

Actually you didn't say that until just now. Before that you were babbling, or maybe just randomly choosing words that looked pretty next to each other.

With all rest he'd never be injured.

What about Rose? If he had Kobe's rest and put it on with his rest he'd be back and beat LeBron and be one of 6 top 3 players, right?

[DarthVegito]

Dude Achilles injuries are some of the most freak injuries there are. Just stop please. Your just looking foolish now.

Got your back, slim.

[kclaboy504]

Nah Im not a md. And I have no clue if he avoids it. I said probably. Meaning maybe?? Back to the og subject tho. Kobe and wade still have their best years ahead of them according to you. And that in itself is laughable.
