While I can appreciate the sentiment of that song being Basketball Related (..or is it?) ... that is absolutely HORRIBLE! LOL
Is that what the kids are listening to these days?! My god .. I'm not even 30 and I feel old just listening to that. Hahah
He's not even rapping about anything. The only words he bothers to rhyme together are "n*gga" with "n*gga". Lol
*Ahem* Sorry ... Rant over ... Lol
...I do like the part about "Going hard in the paint" though ... that's catchy.Last edited by Joey; Tue Jul 16, 2013, 04:25 PM.

you mean 4-19. and it was more like missing the playoffs by 10 games, since the end of the season was obviously against teams who DID make the playoffs and didn't give a shit about winning.
either way, by your logic are you saying that milwaukee and philadelphia were in a great place last year then? philly was ahead of us despite not making the playoffs and milwaukee actually made it to the playoffs! oh boy look how well that turned out for both teams!
It's a slow build. Making the playoffs is a step in the right direction even as the 8th seed. Plus, your logic is stupid because it doesn't matter what seed you are, you are always susceptible to a first round exit.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.

as for first round exit? you do realize 8th seed has to play the 1st seed right? in all of NBA history (basically early 80s when this playoff format was instilled) its been VERY rare for the 8th seed to ever knock out the 1st seed, hence basically guaranteed exit. no shit that "you are always susceptible to a first round exit" but the chances of that for an 8th seed time are exponentially higher.

The point is you never really know whether or not you will progress. The best you can do is build a playoff team, and then add the parts necessary to get you into contention. The Sixers tried to do this with the Bynum trade and failed, But Indiana managed to get it right.

Making the playoffs as the 8th seed doesn’t automatically mean that the team is unable to become anything better. Only poorly managed teams become the dreaded “treadmill” team that is too bad to improve and too good to rebuild. I hate when people equate a non-playoff team finally making the playoffs to perennial “treadmill” teams like Atlanta and Milwaukee, simply because they’ve fought and improved to make the playoffs in the first place. I don’t think TL or MU are the type of guys to rest of their laurels of simply making the playoffs... they’d only use that as motivation to continue to improve.Last edited by CalgaryRapsFan; Tue Jul 16, 2013, 05:41 PM.

Both looked like promising, up and coming teams, challenging higher seeds and making them work to progress to the next round. Philly has since begun a rebuilding project, while Indiana is in the thick of things. Rewinding to two years ago, could you have predicted this?

as for the raptors, not even at this point is anyone saying they look promising or upcoming at all.Last edited by iblastoff; Tue Jul 16, 2013, 05:44 PM.
