The Official 2013-14 Around The NBA Thread......

Gobert looks surprisingly decent.

He's already showed MUCH more than Leonard ever has so far.

Gobert has a PER of 9.3 and a WS/48 of -0.041. He sucks so far, and he's older than Leonard, amazingly.

Can we take a moment to be in awe of the Spurs?? We're playing our hearts off and we're still only in 2nd place, lol! The Spurs are pretty awesome. Not swayed by last season's loss.

I'm stunned at the start of the Spurs this year. At some point, they have to show their age though, right?

I feel like we've been saying that for five or six years.

Sacto is basically going to be forced to give that clown a max contract. If not, Seattle may still get the Kings, since part of the deal was for Sacto to not skimp on salary.

Too late. The new idiot owners gave him a 4 year max extension.

Sooo many laker fans in Washington. Gross!!!

I am both happy for them, and frustrated by them. lol

 

[Strenuus]

Isn't it amazing at how much consistency the Spurs have accomplished, and yet they don't get talked about at all. And they themselves are on an 11 game win streak.

It's really gross, actually.

Fuck missed a free throw. 3 points game laker ball

Re: The 2013-14 Around The NBA Thread......

Yes!!!! Missed a three and Washington got the rebound. Laker fouls

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Lakers drop below .500

 

[Strenuus]

And that's a Washington team without beal, huh?

God that L*ker team is a joke.

Can you believe the BS foul call on Gasol's 3 pt play? I hate when refs call that a foul just because a player swipes at another player. If you don't see the actually contact, don't call it. Especially in a situation like that. Ariza was not close to touching him

They can score, but horrible D

Sounds like a usual D'Antoni team.

No, we played the Knicks last night.

LMA on Scott VanPelt

"Were you surprised to see the Knicks go with that defense where they give you a lot of open layups to see if you'll just mess it up?"

LMA: "I plead the 5th."

"I'll just go ahead and say it for you, some of the worst help defense I've ever seen in the game in a long time."

 

[Run BJM]

Jermaine O'Neal 18/8 his first game back from injury, rushed back to cover for suspended Andrew Bogut.

Had a really intense and personal interview after the game. Kinda weird, but hard to dislike.

I may not be in large company in here, but I absolutely love Jerm. Wished he was our back up too

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Rick Fox's uncanny turkey gobble is making me really question my unyeilding hate for him... what a dorky, slightly endearing skill!

Awesome.

Yea we could sure use a Jerm like backup center right now, unfortunately like Jermaine, Meyers is a project and we gotta wait. Lotta speculation we'll use him in a trade, but I honestly don't think we'll make the same mistake with Leonard. Too much potential.

I love Jerm as well. Really wanted us to get him this off season. He even said multiple times he would love to come back to Portland.

 

[KingSpeed]

If we can beat the Suns, the Lakers could be the win to tie our 13 game win streak. !!!!

That would be awesome but we always have trouble with the suns especially when we play in their arena. Something about that team just gets under our skin, not sure what it is.

Just imagine if he backed up Aldridge man. He's a solid player. 10-15 minutes of toughness!
