Season starts tonight!

New season = new thread.

Get your predictions in and what not. Some of you have done that already in the off-season thread.

Tonights predictions:

Wizards at Cavs
Celtics at Heat
Mavs at Lakers

If jazz get it. They are gonna have to deal with spurs or okc, their screwed either way.

If mavs get it. They have a chance with the spurs since it's in Texas, but they're screwed if they face okc.

If the Lakers get it, they don't have metta world peace in the first round, Kobe is injured with a bone spur, and Steve Nash is showing pain in his back and hurt his hamstring so their age is finally starting to show. So they are screwed if they face okc like last year, and with the spurs, it may sound like they have a chance but they will get fundamentally destroyed by the DUNCAN.

Re: ''Danny Ainge needs to shut the fuck up and manage his own team.''

So what do you want?

People to dickride Kobe throughout the whole thread to praise him just because he's playing 40+ on a fringe playoff team and he's old?

There are other players that play more minutes per game and/or more minutes overall than Kobe that get no praise. Kobe isn't special. No one in here was praising Monta Ellis when he was averaging 40+ MPG for entire seasons when he played for the Warriors. Luol Deng has led the league in minutes per game for the past two seasons with torn ligaments in his wrist, he gets no praise. If those players aren't getting praised, there's no need for people to go out of their way to praise Kobe. You're just being a fanboy.

I'm not saying Kobe playing those minutes at his age isn't impressive but that doesn't mean people in this thread need to praise him for playing high minutes.

Eh, it's not even worth a mention? Pretty sure I've praised both Noah and Deng for playing with injuries and carrying the bulls while and Rose is out. Not pretty sure, I'm 100% sure and I've done it multiple times. I also remember thinking highly of Monta playing 48 minutes a couple of times a couple of years ago. I consider it praise worthy and do praise any player that does it.

I also didn't even say dickride, but it's not even worth a mention, like come on.

I don't praise players in their mid twenties who average 40 plus minutes. Kobe did this too, with injuries once again, during 2005-2007. He's averaged 40+ minutes 5 times in his career. Deng never has.

but you're right, any other athlete could go and just the entire whole games with injuries. Nothing special, not whatsoever. :kobe

Kobe is 34 and has played ridiculous amount of minutes in his career, and has to wonder what he'll be coming back to next year if Dwight leaves(or even if he comes back). We were barely in a playoff position this year, what happens if we're not in one next year? What reason does he have to come back? To win some meaningless games? To try again when he's 36? Come on man, be realistic, even if Kobe denies it it is still hard to see him coming back if there really isn't any reason to, especially considering the significance of this injury.

You're right but ask yourself why MJ came back in 01 after going out in a perfect finale in 98? Why would he ruin a beautiful picture like his shot in game 6 with a shitstain that was his Wizards run?

It was that motivation and burning desire to go out there and compete with the young guns of the era. He wanted a completely new and different challenge and he didn't fare well but it is what it is. Kobe is going to view this as a challenge just like MJ viewed his Wizards return as a big ass mountain to climb.

And I def. think he'd put up more than 20 a game if he comes back. I don't think he's going to fall off that far.

Was gonna post this in the old thread, but saw it was closed so whatever.

Blow up what? We have one of the best centers in the league in his prime, one of the best scorers in his prime, and a young guard with huge potential in Shump. If anything you would build around them.

If you're talking about moving Amare, no one is gonna take him unless we take back garbage or longer contracts. Pass. Like it or not, he's ours. I feel bad for him because he put in that work this offseason and for the short time he played this preseason he looked like the old Amare.

All of this is moot though...



he's not trying to hear what you have to say
You guys are a joke. The core you guys have now is not capable of winning a championship, you guys make dumb front office moves, the list goes on and on.

The Knicks don't even have a future. The only player on the team under 25 is Iman Shumpert, everyone else is either over 30 or approaching 30. I remember at one point in time, the future was bright when you had guys like Jeremy Lin, Danilo Gallinari, Landry Fields, Wilson Chandler, to name a few. Now you guys have nothing. You've assembled a team that isn't capable of being a legit championship contender, your cap situation is all screwed up, you have an incompetent owner and you have no future as far as young players go.

The Knicks are a complete and total mess and only a Knicks homer would argue otherwise.

So basically you typed all this out to say exactly what I said? Do you not know what Dolan looks like? Everything you listed is his fault, hence I said it was a moot point. He's not blowing anything up when him and his yes men architected this team. Nothing good will happen as long as he calls the shots, but go ahead and let that Knicks hate show.

Anyway, predictions

Wizards at Cavs
Celtics at Heat
Mavs at Lakers

Wizards w/o Wall or Nene should not be winning, but then again, it's the Cavs so who knows..

Hope Allen shits all over Boston tonight.

Mavs/Lakers.. *yawn*

Lulz, such a hater notorious. Ray Allen will hit 2 or 3 threes. No doubt.

I wish the Warriors will say if Bogut and Curry are playing tomorrow. Curry is probable, Bogut who the hell knows. Cash league implications here! Bogut will probably remain on my bench.

Nene is a GTD btw. Not ruled out. He could come off the bench.

According to the news on Fantasy, Curry seems like he is playing tomorrow. I doubt Bogut is though. It's okay, we got FESTUSSSSSSSS~

Who is we Canadian?
Oh shut up.

I doubt he's a Warriors fan, we are few and far between in these parts.
If I wanted to support a third team, I'd definitely pick the Warriors.

I'm actually interested in the Cavs, this year. They'll be fighting for a seed unless they aren't healthy or Kyrie hits a J Wall slump.

Cavs
Heat
Lakers
Not really, 8th seed is up for grabs between Atlanta, Milwaukee and Toronto.
