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 - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

Oh, I definitely agree. Losing Nash that early has truly hurt, considering their lack of depth at the PG position.
yeah, hopefully he comes back soon. I heard nash is coming back within a week, maybe even this saturday. I cant stand watching Morris play PG, and Duhon taking 30 foot 3 pointers with 20 seconds left on the shock clock :no:

“His (Pierce) willingness to stick through the tough times and not just jump off, ‘I’m out of here! I’m going to join forces with Kobe (Bryant),’ or ‘I’m going to play with Dwyane Wade’ — that’s a shot right there,” Jason Terry said according to A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com.

Says the guy who went to Boston


Did anyone post up that article on D-Will? The author of it wrote it with the Ether instrumental playing in the background obviously

Brah, he signed with Boston for the MLE. JET has said on multiple occasions that he didn't want to leave Dallas.

And even then, comparing JET leaving Dallas for Boston to Ray leaving Boston for Miami is laughable.

Good for Jet to say that..fact remains he knew Dallas wasn't going to match for those amount of years..they wanted shorter


But for him to take a shot at a guy leaving to go to another contender for less is dumb when he went to another contender for more..

Ray had three offers as far as the public knows:
Boston was offering 3 years, 27 mil with a no trade clause.
Miami was offering 3 years, 9 mil.
Memphis was offering the full MLE.

Memphis was already out of the race due to Ray getting pissed because he almost got traded there during the previous season, so it came down to Miami and Boston. Ray was obviously not coming back to Boston due to his numerous off the court issues there, so ding, ding, ding...we have a winner!

Miami was pretty much Ray's only option of the teams that made him offers, so of course he signs there, and to make it better he gets to play with the team he hates the most's biggest competition.'

As far as JET goes, Dallas wouldn't even offer him the MLE IIRC. If I'm not mistaken, they were trying to lowball him and offer him cheap contracts because they were obsessed with bringing in Deron or Dwight or both. So JET decided to join another team...

Might as well call him Minny's starter, Roy won't be back.

But yeah he was a great pickup, especially for an undrafted international player. I knew he had a lot of potential once I saw him in the Olympics.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

I don't really mean that Roy won't play again, but I don't have any faith in Roy staying for long. I see him playing at most 5 games in a row. But even if Roy returns, Adelman will probably bring him off the bench and limit his minutes with Shved continuing to start.

It's a really shame what happened to Portland. A lot of people forget they were the "original OKC", they were supposed to be the team that became a powerhouse contender by building through the draft.

Bayless
Roy
Batum
Aldridge
Oden

What could've been :(

lolz, they didn't even draft badly. in fact, if it wasn't for the injuries, their draft>OKC's.
yeah magic... pretty sure that was his ENTIRE point

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

how was that his point? he just said who they drafted. all he said was they were the original team that built through the draft and made a super team. nowhere did he say he thought they drafted better than OKC nor did he imply it. he just said they went about making their teams the same way.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - SPREAD ON A LITTLE MAYO

Although I didn't say it, I do think they could've better than OKC but that's probably because I think Oden would've been a star if he remained healthy.

And I agree they would be a fun team to watch. It's a shame really what happened to that team. Another one of those what ifs...
