New season = new thread.

Tonights predictions:

Wizards at Cavs
Celtics at Heat
Mavs at Lakers

Pau coming in? Lakers lose by 8.

Losing Hill really cost the Lakers tonight.

Magic, you guys need to get rid of Meeks and Pau.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

Meeks is fine. It's getting hard to defend Pau though. :(
Meeks starts making shots in garbage time.

Crunch time? He jacks up wild layups, even though he has -no- business driving the lane.

Dude is frigging garbage.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

Pau is fine. It's D'Antoni offense that is the problem. Why is one of the best post-up players in the league bombing threes? Dwight Howard is more of a liability than Pau. Why are the L.A. Lakers, a team that should be one of the best defensively in the league, hiring a coach that doesn't emphasize defense & trying to out run & out score faster & younger teams? Why are they still jacking up terrible three point attempts when they were like 3-for-30 behind the arc? If there ever was a team that should be a half-court offense, and emphasizing defense, it's a team with Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Ron Artest & Pau Gasol.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

I know what I see. He usually can be a spark off the bench. His driving habits annoy me as he rarely ever finishes and he's a better shooter, but oh well, it's nice to see someone drive the lane.

Nash needs to learn to step up in crunch time and score. We can't have what we've had for years which is Kobe doing it alone.

Its only nice when someone who drives actually draws fouls at a nice rate. Meeks will not, and ever get those kind of calls.

Just spot him up in the corner, all he is good at. Can't defend, can't drive, can't handle the ball.

Also.

People not named Kobe and Dwight shot 12 for 37.

Think about that.

Because the Lakers are idiots. The hiring of D'Antoni was stupid and I am more than glad that the Lakers and their fans shat all over Mike Brown and then went out and hired a coach just as bad, if not worse than Brown.

Pau will be traded for Bargnani and Jose Calderon. D'Antoni gets his wet dream of a stretch four. One that loves shooting three's, hates rebounding and hates playing defense.

BOOK IT.

I like how the Van Gundy and Pasch no sold Jamison's appearance during the game. As for the Lakers continued woes, I wouldn't be surprised if they fired D'Antoni during this season. Anything to get more media attention on them. Who would be the interim though? Get Brian Shaw in there! All they need to do is have Nash-Dwight pick and roll and Gasol on the low block posting people up, simple as that. Can't have Kobe wasting his GOAT mode this early in the season.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

This Lakers team is going nowhere this year. Changing Coaches didn't do anything. They still suck on defense. Dwight Howard is not dominant. His free-throws have gotten better though. Kobe is the only dependable scorer. Everyone else just fights for scraps. They have Pau Gasol chucking three's as if he's Dirk Nowitzki. This is hilarious. Lol...

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

lolCanadian. Pau actually fits with the Raptors and would be a much better fit than the completely useless Bargs. Although CALDERON is the man, but he's just as old and they aren't doing themselves any favours with Lowry by benching him in favour of Calderon.
 
#3,445 ·
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

Calderon has been great this year and him starting with Lowry coming off the bench has been working as of late so I don't see the problem.

Pau is an upgrade over Bargnani but I would rather the Raptors trade Bargnani for someone young.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

The problem is the fact they have to resign Lowry and he's their point guard of the future, not Calderon.

lol they aint getting shit for Bargs and if they can get Pau then they're way better off. Pau hasn't suddenly become bad like some people like to think, the olympics were just 6 months ago and he was great during those. It's just hard to play when you have two coaches trying to implement horrible systems that end up fucking you over.

KOBE is on twitter (verified account). His thoughts after yesterday's game:

Thoughts of self doubt Am I done? Is this how my career will end?? I REFUSE to give in to these thoughts. #strongwill #countonchallenges

LOL I wouldn't say that UDFK but I'm more or less going to continue to give Canadian a hard time until he stops saying "we" for 3 FUCKING TEAMS. It's ridiculous. Embarrassing.

Worse than Heatwave refusing to back a single team :side:.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

Yes, as long as they are 3 different sports :favre5:mcgee3:jeter

Otherwise...

:hayden3

:ti

And of course Canadian will probably say something witty and clever like "COME AT ME". Which of course you then need to wonder where does one find Canadian? Is he holding loosely to the end of the LA Clippers bandwagon? Is he icing Steph Curry's ankles during commercial breaks? Is he in Toronto tweeting pictures or Justin Biebs at courtside? Who the fuck knows.
