THE GLAZED DONUT FACE-OFF -- spurs! heat! it's the NBA finals 2014, where little fatasses happen

spurs, 6

yeah leaning towards spurs in 6 i'd like to see game one before making a call but that's cheating now isn't it

can someone explain the thread title to me

http://extramustard.si.com/2014/01/01/carmelo-anthony-glazed-donut-face-meme/

also popovich callee patty mills a "little fatass"

this thread title is as close as melo will ever get to the finals

can the spurs plz sign tmac again now

Heat should sign Tmac instead

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

so who's idea was it for there to be 3 months off between the conf finals and the finals

just a taste of sports purgatory that is nigh upon us.

i think it was a good idea bc old players

funny but true

the nba feels very strongly abt having games on both thursday and sunday, the tradidtion dates back to their prechristian animistic roots iirc

best ratings opportunities?

yeah or that

if one or both series had gone to game 7, would the dates have been the same?

i think so

yeah i might be more pissed if you had some unlikely team that was riding a wave of momentum into the finals but w/ two teams of old folx needing the rest the break probably increases the odds of a good finals

I don't have any problem with it outside of the fact that the only other thing we sports nuts have to watch is early-season baseball.

i watched baseball last night and just what the shit man for real idgi

i watched baseball last night too, which actually means i made some good headway on last sunday's nyt crossword.

i wish the world cup or tour de france was now i have a perfect three week window with not that much to do

haha I'm not a full on baseball hater, I prefer to check highlights once in a while and will def follow a tight pennant race and the playoffs (if the Giants or A's are in) .

But I have no interest this early in the season.

World Cup is coming, that's cool.

world cup can't come soon enough, that shit is fun.

i guess none of you guys watch NHL

almost over too!

was too bummed that the Sharks lost a 3-0 series lead to continue on tbf

To a Los Angeles team nonetheless

i am going spurs in 6

Heat in 5

dang

If the Heat win, I was right. If the Spurs win, the team I want to win wins.

aligning yr interests is better than hedging yr bets ime

Works great for me!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lurkers out yourselves imo

Spurs disagree with LBJ, say they respect Heat

lol this headline this finals is way too mature, sign of the times

i voted spurs in the season prediction poll way back when and i'm voting for them in 6 or 7 here. largely wishful thinking as i think it could go either way.

imo the spurs shd be favored they are better but not by like a ton, there are aspects of the matchup that favor both teams, good series prob

yeah i'm stoked for this.

looks like vegas is seeing it m/l the same i do

dear vegas be correct love spurs fans
btw put my spurs car flag up and whipped that shit around doing 80 on I-10 what the fuck is up

niice

the parking lot donuts face-off

spurs 7

lurkers out yourselves imo

hi!
ilh is one of the first things i read in the morning to see what happened the previous night (i live in europe). best board but i don't know much about hoops and i never get to see games because of time difference so i lurk. i think i outed myself as ilh lurker on last year's poll too. last year was better tho cos i lived in a time zone where the finals were broadcast m/l during my breakfast, tho having to go to work after game 6 was horrible (rooted for spurs last year, still do this year)

Jibe! Welcome back

Voted Spurs in 6 but prob really will be in 7 and who knows what will happen by then Lebron could be a meteor or Boris could throw down a 28-13-8 in game 7

This isn't going to be the thread for Finals chat is it? I'm not gonna have this title at the top of my ILX

still one of the worst thread titles in the history of ILH

ha im generally not a fan of the ilx rambling jokey thread title style altogether but the glazed donut face off cracks me up for some reason idk to each his own

glazed donut face off is hilarious

i'll say my peace and i'll never mention it again - seemed really non sequitur to take a throwaway melo quote and use that as a title for a finals thread that melo was nowhere near. trying to save it with a connection to pop just idk ok i'm done

glazed donut face off is just funny by itself, i had been wanting to use that for a while. plus there's the connection with the patty/pop quote
