Yup. And I have the pleasure of watching every Clipper game, in stunning HD, with Ralph Lawler. Oh yeah i can also watch the Lakers but who wants to do that these days?

My man Hibbert is only averaging 10 shots a game...His shooting percentage isn't easy on the eyes, but man, they gotta get that dude more shots..No reason he shouldn't be averaging 15-18 shots a game especially with Granger out

I got to say, I was a little disappointed with Chicago's loss to the Clippers. It was a winnable game, especially near the end. Luol Deng at about 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter got an a pass that left him wide open to drive to the basket. Instead, he backs up and attempts a three. By then the defender arrives and gets in his face and Deng misses the shot. Had Deng taken the easy layup, the score would have become 82-87, which would have made Noah's FT attempts later in the game a game tying attempt, making the score 91-91 without the need to foul. Now I know one decision doesn't make a game, but 10 hours later it still sticks out to me.
It's whatever though. The team just needs to stay in the middle of the pack in the east until Rose gets back.

Best case scenario: Returns before the All-Star break.
Worst case scenario: Misses the whole season.
Likely scenario: Returns after the All-Star break.
@Magic: Nash was a product of the Phoenix medical staff, he will continue to have injury problems throughout the year.
Nash is probably worse than both Duhon & Morris at defending PG's. Did you watch Steve Nash in Phoenix? Hell, have you watched Steve Nash in his career? Nash has a legit argument as the worst defensive starting PG in the NBA. Yeah Jameer Nelson wasn't an elite defender but he's still better than Nash. If Dwight is having trouble covering for the mistakes of Duhon & Morris, what makes you think he'll be able to do it for Nash? You know a guy that's just as bad, if not worse than them at defense?
Pau is talented and smart, but the only time he's looked good on the court in the year 2012 was during the Olympics. The guy's confidence is gone and he's shown no signs that he'll dramatically turn this season around and return to his old self.
D'Antoni is an absolutely awful defensive coach, there's really no way I can see someone logically defend D'Antoni's defensive coaching. There's just no way, he's one of the worst. D'Antoni is a terrible coach. That's why the Suns never won anything with him, that's why he was failing in New York and that's why he'll fail in LA.

Brown is a better defensive coach than D'Antoni, but overall yeah Pringles is better than Brown. That's not saying much though because Brown is an assistant coach that got overrated due to how great LeBron was in Cleveland.

Good lord. Even when they're freaking losing I still hear about the Lakers. Their time is over. It's all about the Heat, Thunder, Grizzlies, Spurs, Clippers & Knicks now. Teams that are actually going places this season.

It's like if the Celts are shitty, you'll still hear about them because of the team's history and their importance to the game. Doesn't make it any less annoying, though. I have to admit it is kinda fun to watch the train wreck that is the Lakers this season.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO
The Celtics didn't get any type of media attention from 2003-06 when they were either average or terrible. They only get attention if they're a playoff team.
The Lakers & Knicks will always get tons of attention and be talked about no matter what.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO
If the Celts had franchise players and were tanking the season like the Lakers are doing now I think that would've changed things a bit. I see what you're saying, though.
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO
ESPN KIA NBA Countdown literally talked about the L.A. Lakers the entire time. They even brought in Jeff Van Gundy to talk, live from the Boston Garden...and asked him about the Lakers. HA! Best players to ever where the number 12? "Well, we should talk about Dwight Howard...and the Laker woes. He might be looking for an exit strategy!"
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO
I'm really starting to like the Curry/Thompson duo, what a great combination they are.
Oh yeah and according to Dwight, he already knows what team he's gonna sign with this offseason :troll
I wonder if he still has his eyes on Atlanta. His BFF plays for them, that's where he's from and him Horford, Smith & Teague would be a pretty formidable core. If the Lakers somehow continue to play like shit or have an early playoff exit, I wouldn't be surprised if Dwight bolts.

Dude already said he'd leave if that's what it takes to get a title, so I take it he's going to a team that's already a title contender, not a team that might be one after he signs..I think he's done with the risks
Oh and Mavs look real impressive...That franchise can still kick rocks tho
