Re: NBA General Discussion Thread (No Kobe vs. LeBron)

Nah, I get that, but what I'm saying is I don't understand why Thunder fans are going to be rabid towards Seattle.

About Bosh, he's not a HOFer by pure accomplishment, but he has the very real chance to land in as one of those "by association" guys like half of the Lakers or Celtics teams in the 80's made it.

He's one of those classic guys that will be remembered as a far better player than he actually was because of his numbers in Toronto and subsequent success as the third best player on a championship team.

In addition, he'll get a ton of credit for being a gold medalist on Team USA, which seems like it shouldn't be that big of a deal when you consider Team USA players SHOULD be gold medalists.

tru, thunder fans have no reason to hate on sonic fans.   something a playoff series won by seattle could change that in a heartbeat.

 

i can only hope Bosh does something dominant in the playoffs to secure his "greatness" but.... doubt that happens.... he could end up traded for dwight next year... ya never know....

Re: NBA General Discussion Thread (No Kobe vs. LeBron)

Grizzlies trade Rudy Gay to the Raptors as part of a three team deal that sends Jose Calderon to Detroit and Tayshaun Prince to Memphis. Other players were involved if you're all about some Ed Davis.

I don't know, are people saying this kills the Grizzlies? I know they've had some issues with Gay/Randolph on the floor together, so it could beast mode Randolph, and Prince should help at least enough to keep it from being a big drop off on their end.

Pistons get a PG cause Brandon Knight sucks as a PG.

I don't hate this from Toronto's end as many seem to, but maybe I'm missing an angle about him leaving after his contract, or his contract being really really bad, but hell, the Nets picked up Joe Johnson which was a lot dumber.

But then I remember what the Raptors paid DeMar DeRozen...

Andrew Bynum's coming back either the game before the All Star break or afterwards. Can't wait to hear about the setback a week or two from now.... Sixers in their current form are too good to be a lottery team and too bad to be at least an average team (seriously, they're godawful). I don't even know what to make of a possible Bynum return.

you should be slapped for quoting bill 'who the bleep are you and where did you come from, just go away' simmons

 

i was wondering where tay would end up, not sure i like him in the griz since the griz prob wont do much but at least he's back in a winning situation.  but the grizz are a good reason why i dont like following teams anymore, they got rid of gay because of $$$$ reasons.  most def not the type of mentality i would like a fav team to have.

I'm hoping the Mavs go ahead and start tanking for Nerlens

lets hope they don't jack up their future but instead build a solid winning team with that young talent.

Re: NBA General Discussion Thread (No Kobe vs. LeBron)

heat\pacers is quickly becoming an old school 80's/90's rivalry.  when they showed highlights of that playoff battle... i completely forgot about all those nasty fouls that each team threw on each other. 

 

hopefully they meet up again with a full healthy ganger.

If you have big men that are skilled on the offensive end, heat will lose..

Re: NBA General Discussion Thread (No Kobe vs. LeBron)

Favorite thing to come out of the Heat/Pacers game, aside from those really beautiful pinstripe jerseys, was apparently Lance Stephenson doing some trash talking that forced James and Wade to take it up to the refs. xD
