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

Speaking of a bitch, remember what a bitch you were about my reaction to Duncan's injury? That's sports. If any of ya'll wouldn't love Kobe to tear an ACL, then you're either soft, or you're not Blazers fans.

Not saying you are anyone else is a bitch; but I really don't want to wish injury on any player. I may have years ago; but having a string of terrible injuries; just humbled me as a fan.

I am a die hard blazer fan, and I still wouldn't want to wish any injury in a laker. Not anymore.

I'm amazed at how Miami is about to win their 27th game in a row.

the 33 wins was something I figured would never be matched (along with Wilt's 100).

 

[RoyToy]

John Wall has been BALLIN lately

How easy people forget about this guy

Nuggets down 21 at half vs Hornets. I guess they've quit.

They still have a ways to go.

He's good. Wizards would be playoff team if he was healthy at the start of the year.

Can I has victory?

I hope they keep winning. It would be amazing.

It ends with 29 straight....Sunday in San Antonio.

 

[julius]

I hope the Heat get 34 wins in a row, but don't win the title.

 

[KingSpeed]

Warriors destroying the Lakers thus far.

Yep, yet another case of premature jock elation.

Wow we joke about quitting....the Lakers could not have played worse at the end of the 2nd quarter.
It is really quite comical how old they look.

[THE HCP]

I think the HEAT will go for the record 34th win Final Four Saturday night!

Pop is going to rest Manu, Parker and Duncan again that game!

Jarrett Jack vs. Steve Blake. It's like a 2008 Blazers intrasquad scrimmage.

 

[julius]

Why do I get the feeling that guys name is like Vinny Mac or something, and his favorite show is Jersey Shore?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Is he dancing with that professional fan who had the black shirtless guy slapping her butt during the Phoenix game where Roy scored 52?

Griffin is a joke. Take his leaping and he's a below average player. Dallas exploiting his shitty defense and using long armed defenders to take away his dunk fest.

The dude averaged 12 boards per game his rookie year. Obviously that's come down a bit, but how does that have anything to do with his leaping ability?

A bit? You mean by a lot. He is a joke and will be another Larry Johnson but without an outside shot. He doesn't impress me at all.

Griffin is going to have to learn to play without insane athleticism at some point, but that's at least five years from now. He's going to end up a perennial All-Star, and a much better player than Larry Johnson.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Not seeing what some of you see in OJ Mayo. He always defers when I see him. Never seems to try to take over. It will be interesting to see how much Cuban offers him.
I sure as hell would not over pay for him.

Larry Johnson was a beast his first 6 years in the league. He already is outperforming griffin each and every year.

Crazy that Mike James is the starting PG for Dallas these days.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Horrible call in that Clippers/Mavs game just now... Chris Paul gets too many calls...

I like the clippers defense though. James is a much better defender than collision.

I'm with you that O.J. Mayo is not worth the money he'll command, but his problem in Memphis was actually that he didn't defer enough. Similarly to Rudy Gay, he was just a shot-machine and a blackhole, especially when we moved him to the bench. He'd hit one shot and then get Jordan-esque confidence and start jacking up contested shots with time left on the shotclock. I actually like seeing him being more of a team player in this game.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Damn, that was a turnover Collison wouldn't have made...

EDIT: Turn on TNT if you're not watching the Clips/Mavs right now. Tied game with a minute left. So much at stake for both teams. Very scrappy game...

 

[magnifier661]

Dallas takes the lead.
