THE "OFFICIAL" AROUND THE NBA 2012-13 THREAD...........

[KingSpeed]

STAT out 6 more weeks! That's why I didn't draft him today!

I wonder how his hand is.

 

[THE HCP]

Ty Lawson 4/48 million! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Lawson, McGee, Gallinari, Chandler---all locked up long term. :smh:

 

[BrianFromWA]

Waiters is such a good combo guard, they're starting him at both backcourt positions.

 

[craigehlo]

Webster is looking solid for the Wiz so far. Waiters/Beal not looking too amazing so far.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Waiters 13 points on 10 shots in 20 mins. With 3 steals. Maybe Cleveland not totally insane.

Verajao has 18 boards in 23 mins!! Damnit, why can't we get him? Also 5 assists and 3 blocks.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'm really shocked Fez hasn't come in here to crow about Soup Juggler?

 

[MickZagger]

Jae Crowder is looking really good.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Brand-Vince-Marion--DAL bench is like the 2002-03 All-Star bench.

 

[KingSpeed]

Waiters 13 points on 10 shots in 20 mins. With 3 steals. Maybe Cleveland not totally insane.

Verajao has 18 boards in 23 mins!! Damnit, why can't we get him? Also 5 assists and 3 blocks.

Finishes with 9/23/9

 

[KingSpeed]

I like this Mavs team plus Dirk. They're gonna surprise people.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I didn't think they'd be anywhere near this good. Then again, I think the L*kers are playing at about 60% right now.

 

[NOVoodoo]

I like this Mavs team plus Dirk. They're gonna surprise people.

Is it that the Mavericks were that good or that the Lakers are that confused at the moment?

O.J. Mayo, for one, continues to look like the same O.J. Mayo. He looked great in the first, got a hot streak going, and then continued to hack up bad jumpers, finishing something like 4-13 from the field. That will probably be the story of his season, as it was in Memphis.

Carter, Marion, and Brand looked great, but they're all dinosaurs playing in the first game after a summer's rest.

I'm just saying, I wouldn't infer too much from this game about the Mavericks.

 

[THE HCP]

Eddy Curry is wearing Greg"s #52!

I've seen all I need to see

Eddy Curry is wearing Greg"s #52!

I noticed that too. I wish we had picked him up. He played good tonight.

 

[NOVoodoo]

I hope they slip into the playoffs as an 8 seed... that just means my Grizz get an easy first round match-up.

All kidding aside, Curry did look really good tonight. Based on his last "season" in Miami, you'd think he was done. He looks to be a solid backup option.

Eric Gordon Out Indefinitely With Knee Injury

 

[THE HCP]

^He has missed a ton of time! How can he basically take a year off and he still isn't healthy?

Stephen Curry, Warriors Agree To Four-Year, $44M Extension

Stephen Curry, Warriors Agree To Four-Year, $44M Extension

That's a lot of money to throw at Curry's ankles. But the dude is the best shooter in the league, and whoever is second is a distant second.

Stephen Curry is my pick for the next big talent to get traded to a super team/quasi-super team. It's really tough to rebuild around a guy with chronic injuries, but he'd sure look good as a complementary star.

Come to think of it, in a few years I could see Portland making a move for him to play the Ginobili role on this team. Well, a guy can dream.

Eric Gordon Out Indefinitely With Knee Injury

You sure you're not confusing him with Danny Granger?

 

[Blazinaway]

Eric Gordon Out Indefinitely With Knee Injury

It's incredible that teams keep giving guys with known injury issues/risks these huge contracts, us with Roy, Amare and NYC, Gordon and now Curry. I'm sure there are others I am missing.

Please merge with the unnecessary daily thread.

 

[PapaG]

What's wrong with talking about other games on a daily basis?

 

[KingSpeed]

Jamal Crawford has 15 points at halftime

 

[KingSpeed]

Crawford 29 points in 29 minutes

 

[NOVoodoo]

Crawford 29 points in 29 minutes

He was on fire tonight. This was a hell of a game though, and it's developed into a legitimate rivalry. I don't remember the Grizz playing this chippy in a regular season game since they've been in Memphis. Tonight was a true playoff atmosphere in LA, like a game 8.

My question is this:

Aren't we warning, fining, and then suspending for flops now, and if so, is Chris Paul above the new rule?

When the rule was announced, everyone was afraid that the star players would still get preferential treatment, and tonight's game showed that's a reality.

I'm not saying that had anything to do with the final score of the game, because it really didn't, but the flops were blatant. The replays showed no sign of contact, just Chris Paul flailing, falling, looking at the ref like he needed to take a shit, and then getting the phantom foul call.

If you think that assessment has any homerism attached to it, then just wait til y'all play the Clippers this year... I'm sure you'll agree.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Thunder really fucked up. Harden is a beast.

 

[THE HCP]

I don't want to hear ANYBODY bitch about Nic not being worth what he got! Check this shit out............

Taj Gibson extension is 38 million over 4 years
