Around the NBA(Thursday night Loser Thread)

by DennardC on Mar 26, 2009 7:06 PM CDT Comment 93 comments

I know many of you are more than just Spur fans and love the NBA. There are many blogs to check out the daily goings on in the NBA, such as here(a personal fave of mine), here(another fave), and here. The playoffs are about to heat up your usual suspects(Spurs, Lakers, Cavs, etc.) are gearing up for long postseason runs, and your usual bottom feeders(Clippers, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, etc) playing out the string. Speaking of the Clippers, this story has piqued my attention and made me double over with laughter/disbelief. How does Isiah Thomas keep getting chances to ruin organizations/leagues? Does he perform Jedi mind tricks while being interviewed? Does he have pictures of somebody important doing something scandalous? Unbelievable. Part of me wants to see this happen because the of the inevitable laughs I will have over his incompetence. As a basketball lover, I have to draw the line. This can't happen, can it?

I am all for Zeke going to the Clippers. In a way, it’s karma for him, if you ask me.

Heeeeere we go... New Improved Loser Thread 2.1

Good evening fellow PTR’ers! We’ve got some interesting matchups tonight:

The Fakers are in Detroit to play the Pistons (I’m surprised this game isn’t on national TV),

Miami heads to the Windy City to take on the Bulls

and we hope for a Suns loss in Portland tonight to keep them further out of the playoff race. Some pretty obvious choices here for me. Go Pistons, go Bulls and go Blazers!

It’s just that I’m going camping to Kern River for the weekend, and I won’t be able to do the halftime fish. So can I send them to you and you just copy and paste at halftime. I don’t want to strain an old man too much. I was gonna ask LatinD, but he must be ruining beautiful rivers with dams somewhere.
