BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 How about the C's cutting down the Spurs without KG or Perk... now that's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Wait, What did I miss?? I'm going to check out lakers.com No, George blocked the trade saying he doesn't wanna play in NJ. We'll see how this plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as much as I love the lakes I think that the Celtics will take the prize this year. But hey, stranger things have happened. :munch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must don't love the Lake Show that much! The C's will choke along with KG in the playoffs, remember they play in the B-League of a conference.

BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Remember they play in the B-League of a conference. But we haven't lost to ANYONE in the West. So what does that make us if we can't lose against the A-League. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 BTW- I think Boston, Detroit, and Orlando all have better records than anyone in the West, so I dunno if I'd call the East the B-League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yup, that we will. But for now, C's haven't lost in the West. Edit: Magic are not better than the best West team... 2 or 3 West teams are above Orlando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MannyLegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 How many games are left after the break. Something like 32 or so, right. :munch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I think 41. Edit: Nope, i think you may be right. Around 30-32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MannyLegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Dang that's still a nice handful of games. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season goes for the leagues top teams. :munch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 But we haven't lost to ANYONE in the West. So what does that make us if we can't lose against the A-League. :lol: East=B-League, you would think the decent teams would have good records playing college caliber franchises....

BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 So explain us beating EVERYONE in the West thus far... EVERYONE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Half of our wins are against West coast teams! 19-0 against the West during the first half IIRC. That pretty much negates any argument about us being a B-League team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much negates any argument about us being a B-League team. You can deny it all you want, you know the east is the B-League. I think it is more suprising that all of the C' losses have come to pathetic B-League teams with an exception on a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well, there's a few ways to look at it... You could say the West is a "better" conference because the teams are doing better overall in terms of record. Fair argument in terms of conferences. You could also argue that the rest of the East is that far behind because the C's and Pistons (the 2 top teams in the NBA... who are in the east) are just annihilating everyone, only 22-23 losses between the two. Doesn't leave much winning available to the rest of the league. In any case, argue about the divisions all you want, I could see that either way IMHO. BUT... you can't say that the C's are a B-Team at all. After all, they do have the best record IN THE WHOLE NBA, and they haven't lost to a Western Conference team in any of the ~20 games they've played this year. If you call the C's a B-League team... well then I guess that puts every team in the West as a C-League team... and that's surely not accurate. Oh, and if you REALLY wanna get into the logistics of East and West... how many games have any Western team played against other Western teams? It can't be too much more than 20-25, which is about what the C's have played in the West without losing. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Best team in Western Conference play is the Maverics at 23-6, second is your Lakers at 19-8... (this is Western Conference play ONLY) Celtics are 19-0 vs the Western Conference this year. We've played almost as many West Coast games as all the Western teams and still have a better Western Conference record than all of them. I don't see how you can classify the C's as a B-League team no matter what conference they're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The C's of course are not a B-League team but their conference opponents are. I like the C's but think if they were in the west they would not have the record they do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MannyLegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ^^^ Ahhh.... I see your point now. Basically saying that Yeah, the C's may be undefeated in all of their western games, BUT if they played on the west regularly then it would be another thing, right?? :munch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I think it is more suprising that all of the C' losses have come to pathetic B-League teams with an exception on a couple. Hmmm... may wanna check the stats on that one. Our losses: Cavs twice, Magic twice, and Detroit once. (and IIRC the Magic and Detroit were only by a few points) 5 of our 9 losses are against the 3 best teams in the East, so I dunno how you say ALL of our losses have come to pathetic B-League teams. The 2 against the Wizards, the Bobcats 1, and the Raptors... those four were disappointing though, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've played almost as many West Coast games as all the Western teams and still have a better Western Conference record than all of them. We might not be 41-9, but judging from the 19 games we've played in the West I think we would have faired pretty well. I mean, no one out there has beat the C's yet. Also remember, if we WERE a western team, that we would have more home games against the Western teams as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, only Boston and Detroit are true contenders. The rest of the east would be hard press to even make the 8th seed in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yes and no... I'd throw the Magic in there too probably. C's might have dropped a few more games playing in the West, but I don't think it would be THAT different. After all, we have played just about as many western conference games as anyone in the West and had this kind of outcome. I just don't see much being different if the C's were out West. Think of this... we would have only played, at most, 10 more Western Conference games if we were out in the West. If we lost 2 or even 4 of those 10, we'd still be 25-4 in the West, which is better than any western conference team... food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
