Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
Lakers need to win the game against the Clippers. It will provide a very big confidence boost to them. I dont understand why Jamison is out of the rotation. put him as a 3, and put artest as the 4, and gasol as the 5th when the 2nd unit is on the floor. Duhon, Meeks, Jamison, Artest, and Gasol. Gasol gets to post up like the way he likes to, Artest as well, and Jamison can provide shooting. why is he not getting minutes? :no:
edit: I just read an article about Derrick Favors calling Kevin Love overrated :lmao Derrick Favors how many all star teams have you been selected to? a guy who was the 3rd pick, who is averaging 8 points and 6 rebounds a game for his career calling Kevin love overrated? :lmao

Jamison is out of the rotation due to the fact the's garbage at defense and has been shooting awful. Putting him at the three is about the worst thing you can do as the can guy is a power forward and already has troubles guarding big man, he can't do shit at the three as people just drive past him with ease.
Favors will be better than Love in a few years. Hell, Favors could be one of the best bigs right now if Jazz weren't so damn slow with trading Millsap, the guy is obviously talented and good defender.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
Love is overrated. It's not like his numbers are low at his fault, he's playing behind Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson. Once Millsap is traded, he'll start and be putting up great numbers. He's already a much better defender than Love is, though that's not saying much.

Kevin Love is going to get even better in a few years as well. he's a PF that can shoot, rebound, pass, etc the only thing he needs work on is his defense. the guy breaks his hand during the offseason, comes back early and is getting almost 14 rebounds a game. When I watch Derrick Favors play I sometimes think this guy is not even on the floor. Even when Millsap and possibly Al Jefferson leave I still think Favors is going to be decent but no star. It's going to be Gordon Hayward's team after the big men get traded.

I know his defense is very frustrating to watch. Putting him at the 3 is not the worse thing you can do, were talking about him playing for the 2nd unit. It's not like he is going to guard Lebron James or Durant, he won't get blown by every single possession. The guy is talented even though he's old the guy can still make an impact. If Lakers are not going to use this guy, trade him and try to get a SF/PF that can help this team. It's a waste to let him sit on the bench, I would say go after Ariza.
Ariza for Duhon, Jamison, Clark, and Ebanks. I would say this is a great deal, Lakers get rid of 3 players that see almost no minutes and Duhon for Ariza. Lakers get a little younger, and in a way better.
Favors is talented, but I think Love will be alot better in a few more years. The guy hasnt even reached his top level and is putting up monster numbers. I dont think Favors is going to be that great, but we will see how things turn out when he gets his minutes. Every nba player is talented but not every player can show it on the floor consistantly.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
On Blake Griffin right? For needlessly putting himself and others in danger but flipping in the air.
fuck, this is why I will never, ever like the Clippers. No matter how much the media tries to portray them as some underdog that has gone through years of losing and has finally found success, they are still the team that flops the most and plays dirty as fuck.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
Meh, I couldn't care less about the Clippers nor any other division rival aside from the Kings because in my lifetime none of them have really posed any sort of threat to the Lakers. Don't act like you guys also didn't hate them last year for their flopping ways as I'm pretty sure no one really in this thread was really rooting them on while Griffin was being a pussy and Paul was helicopter diving.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
The only reason I hated them was because of the flopping. Something that has significantly decreased from them this year. Maybe it's just me but the Clippers don't really flop that much anymore.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
Yes of course Griffin had that flop last night, but other than that I really can't think of that many flops the Clippers have had this year. Unlike last year when they had at least two a game.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
Not sure I'll ever forgive the Clippers for that. IT'LL BE TOUGH. That's for sure. Maybe if they eliminate the Lakers, Spurs, Dallas and Celtics in a championship run. Maybe.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?
Gordon Hayward's team? lulz.
Love is just a stat-padder that plays no defense. Btw, Favors per 36 numbers have him putting up over 15 points, almost 11 boards and close to 3 blocks. I'd say those are some pretty great numbers. Will Favors be a star once he starts? I doubt it. Will he be a very good player? Yeah, he will.
As far as Ariza goes...he's regressed significantly since he left the Lakers, he's overpaid and he's injury prone. Don't see why the Lakers should trade for a guy like him.

Hayward can play, after they leave who else is left? lol. Its going to be Hayward and Favors. Unless they get something good in return for trading the bigs.
Favors can be a star, but he needs to get consistant minutes. I think favors is going to be a decent player, maybe make 1 all star team but nothing more.
I see it as a low risk/high reward case for the lakers. if they give up those players for Ariza I would say that its a trade worth making. I would take a risk on Ariza than let Jamison, Clark, and Ebanks rot on the bench providing nothing. Also getting rid of Duhon would be a good thing, I dont like the fact he jacks up 3 pointers, 5 feet above the 3 point line with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. It's so frustrating watching him do that. Lakers have nothing to lose doing this trade.
I'm more interested in what he can do for Canada nationally though. Maybe put Canada on the map finally? Seeing as Nash failed miserably as he either was never allowed to play or chose not to.
