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

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

Offense is ranked 7th in the league, defense is ranked 20th.

But yeah, the Princeton offense that the Lakers don't even run on the majority of their plays is the problem :kobe

The Princeton offense is why guys like Randy Foye, Damian Lillard, Nicolas Batum, Jamal Crawford, etc. have all had big games against the Lakers resulting in losses.

About time, hopefully he doesn't get another job. He's awful.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

I bet Jimbo regrets hiring Mike Clown instead of Rick "GOAT, if Phil didn't exist" Adelman. Even Brian Shaw would've been better. Tbh, Brown should've been fired last year for his piss poor rotations, overuse of Kobe (39 mpg) and terrible use of MWP (way too much of him dribbling in the offense). He benched Goudelock last year too, even when he was giving the bench some scoring and shooting.


I hope he does well in the future though, he's not a bad guy or anything. Just not head coach material. He owes his career to LeBron lol.

Despite knee surgery that will keep him sidelined until December, there's talk of D'Antoni becoming the new Lakers coach, so if you thought their D was bad before....

and Magic Johnson finally got his wish...he even tweeted Mike Brown should've never been hired

Oh fuck, my condolences to Laker fans if that happens.

James Harden should have a big game tonight, after two off nights. Thinking Houston wins tonight.

See Dallas beating New York too. OJ Mayo has been having a great year so far and is living up to his potential as a maverick. Brandan Wright has been playing pretty good too in Nowitzki's absence. Anthony has been playing great for te Knicks so far but he's due for a off night. Don't see Knicks matching the Spurs and going 4-0.

Anthony is shooting 44%, I'd argue he's due for getting hot along with JR.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

I'm not denying that, but he usually has shot better than .435 for his career. I think Camby is making his debut also tonight, so that would be good. With Dirk and Marion out I don't see the Mavs winning

Crowder-Anthony matchup should be fun to watch

His career average is .456 :kobe

I see the Mavs winning tonight.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

With Mayo as their lone offensive threat and maybe Collison? If you want to talk about someone being due for an off day, it's Mayo. I can't believe how well he's playing, although the Grizz probably don't regret losing him that much.

Edit: Just saw Kaman's numbers so far, wow. He'll be locked up by Chandler tonight.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

Carmelo has shot 10-28 and 7-16 in 2 games so far, I expect him to dominate Crowder tonight assuming that's his matchup. I don't know why Crowder came out and said I'd like to "hold him to half of his average", it's just more bulletin board material. I like that he isn't scared of him, but he should have kept his mouth shut.

Lol at the Lakers firing their Coach after only 5 games into the season. That's quicker than when the Kings fired their Coach last year. Haha...What a record. Good job Lakers. Should've just hired Brian Shaw back then.

Eh he just wasn't the right guy to coach all that talent, would be SICK if they could snag Phil Jackson back though.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

Apparently Phil was at the Lakers facility today walking around and talking to management. According to beatwriters this was just a coincidence but I call bullshit.

Phil is coming back if not this season then next season.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

:lmao Those pictures.

WHERE IS EVERYONE? Courtney Lee is the only guy showing up. ~__~
The Celtics don't stand a chance against Philly.

This team so far has played exactly like they did during the 1st half of last season, maybe even worse. Really disappointing too.

Get blown out by the Bucks at home, can barely beat the Wizards without John Wall & Nene, just playing pathetic.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

C's have a ton of new players so they will get better. Plus they lost the most important member of the Big 3 in Ray Allen:troll

If Phil does come back does it make LA a great team automatically. I havent watched all their games but was coaching their big issue or their defense?

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - #JONASAURUSREX

From what I've seen they've had a lot of issues.

Poor defense, turnover prone, terrible bench play plus you also have other effects that won't go away with Brown being fired like age and health.

But fuck the lollakers and lolceltics, O.J. MAYO :bron
