Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

18/5/4/1/1 on 46% is far from shit

Shit for Wades standards, but still. Bosh is putting up 20-8 on 56%, that's amazing. Wade might actually turn into the 3rd option soon Lol

Those are not All-Star numbers, and that is incredibly shit for Wade's standards. A guy that's supposed to be the 2nd best SG in the NBA and the best SG in the East. Wade has played terrible since the All-Star break of last season and it's a damn shame that so many people give him a pass for it and make all these excuses for him.

Does anyone else find it slightly unsettling that the defending champs almost lost to a bunch of scrubs?
According to the people on here, the Heat let the Spurs without their 7 best players and Cleveland without Kyrie be competitive. The Cavs & Spurs get no credit for playing their asses off.

he was fine in the playoffs. You're tripping.


and no one ever gives credit here credit is due. instead they made up a term called playing down to your competition which is the biggest horseshit in all of sports; I believe you said this yesterday as well.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

Dear Pringles, Brown, and GOAT BERNIE, please note how Pop handles his star players' schedules. Not the benching them part, but making sure they have adequate rest and are able to stay healthy throughout the season. And now note Kobe, in his 17th season with various injuries that he keeps playing through because he believes he's in fact a machine, something he is not. He has far too much pride to ask to be rested more or to sit out. So please, please take a page out of Pop's book and realize that a guy that has logged as many games and minutes as Bryant shouldn't be playing 37 MPG, especially after a season a season where he played even more in a lockout condensed schedule, and even more so because he's actually fucking injured. Thank you.


edit: I would also like to point out that Bryant going down with a long term or, even worse, a season ending injury would absolutely kill this team AND the fan base. The one thing that would crush everyone that supports the lakers or has anything to do with the Lakers would be that. So DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS RIGHT AND THE REST THE FUCKER.

I don't really want to say notorious was right about wade regressing, because I don't think that's actually happened, but the fact he's playing like he's still in his early 20s means that the guy will be absolutely done in 2-3 years. He's a fucking moron if he actually continues this.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

Kobe was being Kobe before Nadal was known. The only problem is after 17 years it kind of becomes difficult to be that kind of Kobe. I think the reason he's going so hard is because it's his final two seasons, but I would still love for him to being these last two seasons while healthy.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

That sentence holds true for every year since he became a starter. People really overlook Kobe's value to the team and it always seem they have. I honestly feel if he was ever actually injured people would begin to realize how important he really was to the team, something they probably won't realize until he retires.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

The same applies for Duncan. his game gets completely overlooked and he doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves, although that might remain the case even after he retires, but we won't see another talent like him for a long time.

How many superstars have actually won 4+ rings like they have? There's Shaq, Jordan, Pippen, Magic, Kareem, Worthy, and the Russell Celtics? I really don't understand how people don't realize how special these players really are when they've been so damn successful in a league where only the very top teams compete every year.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

You pretty much named all.

Duncan is the best PF of all-time in my eyes and it's not even arguable to me. It's also a shame that Duncan never won a DPOY, I think he should've got one of the four that Ben Wallace won.

lol saying sorry for a double post. I double post all the time. Editing is usually too much of a hassle and I really don't see the big deal about it all.

and I also love Woj. Him and Aldridge are usually my favorite guys when it comes to articles as they come off as they actually seem to love the sport and show a great understanding of it.

Woj got owned by Royce White on twitter a week or so ago Lol

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Where Chandler "MVP" Parsons reigns.

Honestly three years from now will be sad times. KG, Duncan, Nash, Dirk and Kobe all gone. The players I grew up watching, the ones that lasted at least, will finally all be gone and replaced with players that show the same values at all. Sure, Nash finally broke that "hate" somewhat by joining the Lakers, but for years these guys were rivals and played each other in playoffs nearly every year, building true rivalries where the teams genuinely seemed to dislike each other. Now we get the Super Friends playing against other Super Friends, when they're all really friends. Ugh, I feel as though I'm going to hate the league very soon. Hell, I don't even like Dwight that much and will be forced to have him as our cornerstone for the foreseeable future.

Doc is overrated.

Look on the bright side, 3 years from now the SuperFriends era guys (LeBron, Melo, Dwight, Wade, CP3, etc.) will all start to be getting up there in age and probably already declining or starting to decline and we'll have new guys and some of the young guys now (Durant, Kyrie, Davis, etc.) as the top stars in the league.

I doubt LeBron really declines until about 5-7 seasons from now

Doc really isn't the coach that Pop is. Hell, I'd even go as far as saying Phil isn't as good of coach as him as Phil always had one of the best rosters in the league given to him while the Spurs scouted and found gems that no one else saw.

Sometimes I wish that after the 2010 Finals loss, Danny Ainge would've blown the team up like he originally planned to and Doc either retired or went to another team, and we promoted Tom Thibodeau to be our head coach.
