Around the NBA - summer edition

[Rastapopoulos]

Well, it's no longer Summer, but I'm not going to start a new thread for a Rubio to Wiggins alley-oop.

Oh look, here's another one.

 

[Boise Blazer]

What a great picture!

And Batum's comment that went with it:

Coach Stott trust his players...

ShowerGate part X: Luther Vandross to blame.

The comment below just made me laugh:

edmondthegreat - It's annoying, he isn't a HORRIBLE defender. He is actually average compared to other guards in the league, people are jus extra hard on him because he is a star, I'm tired of hearing he is one of the worst defenders in the league, he is far from the best. But definitely not even close to being the worst

These guys are going to be damn good in the lame ass east!

!!?? I love this logic! But why is it that I can write the alphabet PERFECTLY with my right hand but still can't dribble or shoot for shit?

Funny that the one in the middle may be the worst passer.

That is pretty funny

Seriously are the Bulls going to be really good? Gasol, Noah and Rose look pretty good. How about everyone else on their team? Can they be a defensive team like the old Piston's and still score?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Rajon scorns your snark:

Clearly you've never heard of "Extreme Connect Four"

He looks really really clean.

Reminds me of the 1999-2000 Blazers, with Pau in the Pippen role.

 

[KingSpeed]

How is Pau like Pippen? Pippen was 6 time champion two-way elite player All Star MVP one of the 50 best players of all time. And Portland was WCF team the year before. I don't see the comparison at all.

 

[Minstrel]

If Rose is fully healthy all season, the Bulls will be excellent and potentially the best team in the East. If Rose is injured again or is diminished from his prior injuries, then the Bulls will be merely a good team.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Really? I'd easily take the LeBron/Kyrie/Love-led Cavs over the Bulls healthy or not.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

If Rose is fully healthy all season, the Bulls will be excellent and potentially the best team in the East. If Rose is injured again or is diminished from his prior injuries, then the Bulls will be merely a good team.

What's a fully healthy rose anymore? Wasn't he fully healthy for FIBA? He isn't an elite player anymore. He has to prove himself again.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

How is Pau like Pippen?

Pau's an old grizzled multiple champion who is looking for a last shot. And they both look like farm animals.

@SpearsNBAYahoo: Kobe Bryant has nailed two turnaround jumpers already. Looks like his old self from perimeter.

Really? Is there going to be a twit and a post every time the anal rapist makes a shot in practice? Really?

Anyone see the Red Panda perform at half-time of an NBA game? Not any more.

Twitter mourns.

This kinda made me miss Mo.

Aww man... she was the best halftime act!

By the way, don't go too far back on that twitter timeline... there's apparently a thing called #fursuitfriday

Kobe should have no problem hitting open shots but I dont think he will be able to create for himself anywhere near the level we have seen in the past.

That's awesome, and the part of the song from :18 until :40 would sound sick sampled and mixed with a hip hop beat.

Thanks, autocorrect!

Err, I mean, Thanks Obama!

@MarkG_Medina: Lakers doing sprints, which Kobe and Nash are missing. As expected

Did Bobby change his handle to MarkG to stay clear of Kingspeed?
