Subjective nonsense, especially considering the way the Spurs get called on a nightly basis. The Spurs would get lottery picks? What a joke. Stern has had it in for Pop for years. His understudy has yet to prove differently.
They got two of the most coveted 1s of all time. Either the NBA rigs it and they love the Spurs, or the NBA doesn't rig it. That was my point. I have no problem saying it's rigged and the NBA loves Cleveland, Orlando, and SA. Subjective would be the complaints about the officiating. Objective is pointing out SA has benefited from the lottery system.
Yeah he really showed Pop! Pop took over as coach, has his only losing season ever, gets the #1 pick in the draft. Then Spurs win titles in 99, 03, 05, and 07 going through the Lakers teams and wonder child already crowned King in Lebron James in 2007. David Stern really let him and the Spurs have it. I wish David Stern had it in for James Dolan.
If you're Cleveland do you move the 1 for love and hope you can go after lebron?? Kyrie, Lebron, and love is a very very good 3. That should be able to allow you to walk to the ECF for years.
You are reaching so hard and its funny to watch. The Spurs got #1 overall in the late 80s and #1 overall in the late 90s. Cleveland got it three times in 4 years. Where's your outrage? Other than the feigned nonsense you are trying to pawn off on me right now.
I was not outraged about anything. Not about the Spurs getting it, not about the Cavs. The last time we talked about this I said the same thing. That CLE, ORL, and SA have benefited the most. Again, SA has made the playoffs for 17 years in a row so the NBA has not had the opportunity to give them #1s since they were gifted Duncan. But I'm sure the NBA would've loved to give them more #1s had they been in the lottery.
It'll be a real shame If they take embiid at one. The current nba isn't about bigs. It's about having athletic guards who can make plays and hit jays
Wiggins is just too athletic to pass on, dude has like a 50' vert, he is like the Clowney of the NBA.
Relax a little bit Obi-wan. It's also one of the better threads on this forums. Some great discussions going on it right now. Lebron looks look crap out there and Indiana is destroying Miami on the offensive glass
Also bring that David Stern hates the Spurs/Pop talk to some Suns fans, they will find it even funnier. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2007/news/story?id=2871615 Here's the thing. Since 1985, the first draft lottery, the Spurs have been in the lottery 3 times and have gotten out with 2 #1 picks. If you believe the lottery is rigged, I wouldn't be complaining, the Spurs benefited BIG TIME from it being rigged.
I don't care lol I come on here to discuss the playoffs which is what this thread is here for. If you wanna talk about the draft, go in another forum.
That wasn't the point I was trying to make - not saying you're wrong. To still say the NBA Lottery doesn't have a conspiracy behind it is nuts - that's all I'm saying. It's about bringing the Strong Market teams back to contention. It's gonna happen - the draft still hasn't occurred yet.
