lol. Dude got another injury. Hope he doesn't miss too many games.

Celtics picked up where they left off last year.

Re: NBA thread

Celtics had a slow start. Hopefully that's not a trend. I'm sure it won't be. Cavs need to turn over the ball less. Damn thos Blazers got their asses kicked. Too bad for Oden. He's 20 years old and moves like a 50 yrs old and then got injured. Damn I was looking foward to Portland being a new dominating force in the west. I guess it still remains to be seen. At least I got all my pick'ems correct for last night.

What team or teams are you guys looking forward to the most? What division do you watch the most?

portland is still good man, well they were facing the lakers so it's okay to be beaten by 20, but the players, and i'm impressed with rudy fernandez's debut, guy's got potential. bulls improved this year. celtics and lakers, still the same old powerhouse. always looking forward to the west race, got my eye on houston, always a powerhouse but never lucky

Re: NBA thread

Oden is out for 2-4 weeks.

Re: NBA thread

Damn,the Lakers just killed the Clippers today.I mean I saw what they did,Andrew is a beast.Kobe doesnt even need to score 20 points to win at all,he sat out the 4th.Ariza is playin good.Its nice..

Damn the Nuggets lost to the Jazz,dont worry Melo comes back and saturday against the Lakers and will have a lil payback on them.

Oden is out for 2-4 weeks.

Yeah,that sux.I was so looking forward seein him play,hell bounce back,no worries,this injury aint that weak comparing to the last one he had.

 

[Fugitive]

Re: NBA thread

Yeah, the Lakers bench really light-up on the Clippers. After half time the Clippers looked like they didn't even know what they were doing. Like they didn't know how to play organized basketball. Sad... They have the talent. Just need to bring it together. Maybe learn how to defend for starters.

Melo will have some payback? Just him right? Because the Nuggets are still going to lose to the Lakers.

Oden... Oh well.

Re: NBA thread

I HATE THE DAMN LAKERS!!!

why did they have to get Pau and this crazy team. How luckey can Kobe get. You know Kobe needs a ridiculous team to win. Like Hollow Kurono said, he doesnt even need to score 20 points. I swear if he gets his ring this year and people start claiming "ohh hes better than Michael Jordan for sure now," Ill go crazy. Jordan led his team, Kobe doesnt really need to do anything. He can become a Steve Nash type of player, just scoring about 15-20 a game and getting more assists.

 

[Hollow Kurono]

Re: NBA thread

Damn the Nuggets lost,but they sure looked good,man Melo was rusty as shit,man and that new haircut? ok Ill get used to that.But he only started playin when the 4th was ending.

Anyway heard the news?They traded AI for Billups and McDyes.Shit this sux,but oh well,maybe it will turn out better for the Nuggets and Melo,since they need a true PG and now JR Smith can start.

And actualy Kobe has a lot to do.If it wasnt for him,Nuggets maybe would have won,he realy came up big in the fourth,well yeah Kobe has lots of back up,Gasol,Bynum and etc.But hes still great,not the greatest but great.

Re: NBA thread

The trade is Allen Iverson for Chauncy Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Chiek Samb.

This trade is definitely better for the Nuggets. The real question lies in whether it was good for the Pistons. Though, I do recognized his ability, I'm not a fan at all of AI. He's a ball hog with mediocre defense. I think this is going to ruin the team dynamic of the Pistons.

Re: NBA thread

^what when did that happen and why. Nuggets got the good end of the deal IMO. Iverson is getting old.

ohh hes great and the best in the world. But he got luckey with this team, especially Gasol. Two 7footers Odom and Kobe. And an awesome bench who have seen plenty of game time the previous years. Yeah hes luckey

Re: NBA thread

what the hell i almost choked when i read your posts, i went to the site and they did! what the shit, i just read the news a few hours ago, and this shocker came. but this will be awesome, AI belongs in the east, he's always been the king of the east. and trading billups is just fine, the nuggets need more ball-passing in their offense, and billups does that

The first time I heard it,my chest gained so much weight,it was a bit depresing,but thinkin about it,maybe it will better for Denver.Goodbye,so long AI,tho I wanted them and Melo to win a championship damn

Re: NBA thread

AI to Piston, man i didn't see that coming.

 

[Hollow Kurono]

Re: NBA thread

Dude,nobody saw that.

And seems like Vince is realy tryin to shut up the doubters and haters this year,for this two games yet,he was realy playin hard,did some vintage stuff off,I wish the best of him,hell make the all-star team.Now I wonder how will it be with AI,will he make it to the team,or not.

Rockets vs Celtics tonight!I havent seen the Rockets play this year,Im lookin forward to that match.I guess Rockets will win somehow,they stoped theyre 22 winnin streak last year,they aint gonna stop this one,tho its not that impresive
3-0 so far.

Re: NBA thread

oh yeah rockets and celtics, at first i thought the celtics will be the contenders again but it was all erased when they were blown out by indiana, of all teams. wtf was that about. let's see what happens when they face yao-ron

and i might say, joe dumars is probably the most cunning, wisest general manager ever

Did you say something? Celtics 103 - Rockets 99. Go Celtics.

Re: NBA thread

Yeah, it was just a minor lapse for the Celtics. Their win over Houston was the real Celtics.

REMEMBER the NBA is only 3-4 games into the 80+ game regular season. It's too damn early to say that this team is no longer on top or this team will be the new dominators. Sure it's ok to speculate, but to say it's over this early with a team like the Celtics? What the hell..?? I guarantee even the Lakers will lose to an underdog.

Damn... I didn't expect Dallas to tear-up the Spurs. Especially with losing to Houston and Cleveland. That fucked up my picks... damn it...

Allen Iverson is expected to start against the Raptors tonight. It should be a good game with both teams 3-0. Though, the record for both were made by relatively easy starts.

i take that back. that defense was just tight. really tight. and ray allen didnt went outside the arc and still went 11/15
