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

[PapaG]

J Smoove hits a 3 for a seven point possession for the Clips. What a meltdown by Ibaka!

 

[PapaG]

So deliberate. Amazing. I expect this to get its own thread. How many games will he get suspended for?

Since he's on OKC, maybe one game. Or, maybe just a fine. He should have been ejected from this game, and wasn't.

 

[PapaG]

Griffin is a bit of a punk, too, and his flopping act, then playing tough guy by shoving players, must get old for opposing players.

 

[ABM]

Westbrook.....money....cold freakin' cash.

 

[PapaG]

Did the lady interviewing Durant after the game on ABC just say "thanks Sweetie" at the end of the interview? I switched the channel right at that moment and get rewind it on my DVR.

I believe JSmoove is Josh Smith. JCrossover is Jamal Crawford.

 

[ABM]

I believe JSmoove is Josh Smith. JCrossover is Jamal Crawford.

Yep, exactly.

Hey, did you happen to see my thread with your name on it in the OT forum?

 

[PapaG]

Aw crap, you're right! J Crossover!

 

[NOVoodoo]

Man, this Magic team is just awful. Worst team I've seen this year by far... I feel for their fans.

Also, Gasol has 8 assists at the half... that's crazy for any player, much less your starting center...

 

[RoyToy]

Kobe hits the game winner.

He also threw down a monster dunk earlier in the game.

Kobe is having arguably the best season of his career, moving better and jumping higher than he did 3 or 4 years ago.....at the age of 34

Not suspicious at all

What would the nba world do if their angel tested positive for performance enhancing drugs? Maybe this is why stern is retiring. He sees the forest through the trees?

What if they had inside knowledge of Bynum's degenerative knee condition... hear about that one yet? Apparently Bynum's knees are worse than previously thought.

No I haven't! That is just fresh! The nba authorizing or persuading a deal sending Howard to Los Angeles. It would be really fishy if Philly wins top 3 pick! Haha

Kobe Bryant... Where gaining a step back and adding inches back to your vertical after 30 happens

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Even Andre Miller dunked after 30...

 

[PapaG]

T Pups are within 3 of the Heat with 9:00 left in the 4th.

 

[PapaG]

The Pups' game analyst may be the biggest homer I've heard in some time. Blasting LeBron James for not being a heady player, then basically saying Ray Allen wants no piece of JJ Barea.

 

[PapaG]

Barea just booted from the game for leveling Ray Allen and then screaming "You're a fucking pussy" at Allen after the play, repeatedly.

 

[PapaG]

Adelman now in meltdown mode, too. Just got T'd up.

Heat now up 9.

Barrera is a fucking pussy. He has no room to talk

 

[PapaG]

Shved just gets an offensive foul for a kick-out as he made a 3, and it was a good call. Hilarious! And now Cunningham charges into Battier.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Minnesota fans are LOSING it

So is the team.

This is pretty funny.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Utah loses tonight

Dwyane Wade last 5 games: 27.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 7.8 apg, 59 percent shooting.

A Lakers win would put them above .500 for the first time since November 20 (6-5).

Some FT stats for 2013: DeAndre Jordan 39-102, Dwight Howard 77-178, Josh Smith 51-111, Andre Iguodala 48-99 (.485).

I can almost accept a center who shoots under 50% from the line, but Josh Smith and Iguodala should be embarrassed to cash their paychecks. I don't care good they are on D.

Even if Heat win every game between now and April 6 they will have only tied the Lakers' NBA record 33-game win streak during 1971-72 season
