2010-11 NBA Thread

I always get a sick feeling in the bowels of my stomach when the San Antonio Spurs are playing the best basketball in the entire NBA...

though I don't know which pain is the worst when it's them or the LA Lakers?

and hot damn, my Cleveland Cavs are back to being one of the worst teams in the NBA :( maybe some of you pessimists (I remember LapDawg) are right in the fact that once LBJ is gone, the Cavs are essentially going to be sold and bought out. it is a horrible feeling in your fandom to feel downtrodden like this, but what's new in the state of Cleveland sports fan-history?

count yourself lucky when you go to a home game and the seats are packed with rabid fans and your team is actually good. with all of the relentless, never giving-up style of fans that even the Cavs attract during their horrid times should be commended via a product of professional b-ball that is actually half-ass decent...

So KD is back, he always starts out the season in a bit of a slump but has picked it up.

Shot 52% in December, shooting 54% this month, overall % is now at 48.

He's taking 5 3's a game too.
 
thanks for pouring the proverbial salt in my wounds, Serious, with that ultra-douchey LBJ pic

still, I would rock that jacket right before one of my shows in the snow... for the snow-bunnies of course
 
I'd say Clips > Lakers anyday

plus, watching Blake Griffin dunk is a fucking treat
 
Simmons ftw.

Now the Clips have the foundation of something special: Griffin, Davis, Eric Gordon (a future All-Star) and enough left to make a legitimate offer for Denver: lottery pick Al-Farouq Aminu, Chris Kaman, expiring contracts and the rights to Minnesota's unprotected 2012 pick (nearly as valuable a trade chip as Favors) for Carmelo and Al Harrington's horrendous contract that's the Carmelo Trade Tax. Mrs. Anthony could live in Hollywood and make her next unwatchable reality show. And her husband could play with Griffin, Gordon, Davis, Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan

I highly doubt Melo is even considering the Clips, but that would be insane.

LA Lakers vs LA Clippers in the WCF. Same arena too lol.

Lol the dude needs to take some fashion advice from his buddy Wade.

Future is bright for Clips, they finally have some great talent, and hopefully Baron becomes that leader he said he'd be.

What do you think of the rookie Bledsoe (John Wall's teammate @ UK)?
 
eric bledsoe is for real. he's strong and savvy; at the very least he'll be one of the best backup PGs in the NBA. he plays hard and makes plays happen. he started off the year so well i was blown away, but even though he's since regressed, it's easy to see he's a keeper
 
^Bledsoe far outplayed his expectations early on and would likely still be producing if he weren't locked into a time share with the old bearded one. The clippers have been playing great this year and if they could move Kaman's contract and get some value in return, I could see them making a playoff push.

Despite the intellectual realization that the absence of one superstar and later loss of another mid -game mitigates the victory, it still felt great seeing my hometown Bulls take down Miami tonight. I was at the UC 2 years ago checking out rookies Rose and Beasely when the Bulls and Heat took it to overtime and Marion won the game at the last second with an easy dunk off of a backdoor cut.

What do you smart gentlemen think about the bulls this season? They're 27-13 right now (4 games behind Boston, 3 behind Miami, 1 ahead of Orlando) and this is with only having their whole starting group for a couple of games. Personally I'm really excited to see what they can do with Noah, Boozer, Deng and Rose together... I just wish they'd get a decent 2 guard.
 
What a fucking pussy.


CHICAGO -- Miami Heat power forward Chris Bosh left the United Center limping and upset Saturday night. Not so much at the pain in his left ankle as how it got there.

Bosh sprained the ankle in the Heat's 99-96 loss to the Bulls when Chicago rookie center Omer Asik fell on his leg chasing a loose ball at the end of the third quarter. Bosh was going after the rolling ball when Asik dove to the floor, collapsing Bosh's lower leg.

X-rays were negative but Bosh missed the fourth quarter and may have an MRI in the next few days in Miami to determine the extent of the injury. The initial prognosis is that it wasn't a severe sprain.

"C'mon, that is how guys get hurt, that is how serious injuries happen," Bosh said.

"You've got to watch people's legs. I know guys want to hustle and everything but we all want to play and provide for our families and have a job."

Bosh was immediately frustrated with Asik, who has worked his way into coach Tom Thibodeau's lineup mostly through hustle and fighting for loose balls. Before he left the floor, Bosh shook hands with Asik but still was salty about the play after the game.

"We all want to be healthy and that is very important," said Bosh, who had 11 of his 17 points in the third quarter before the injury. "If it is by somebody's leg, don't dive for the ball, it's too close."


Notice how asik is already chasing the ball before bosh's providing-for-his-poor-family leg is even out of the paint:

The Heat were without LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh during their practice on Monday because of various injuries.

Bosh and James are both nursing sprained left ankles, while Wade is dealing with a sore knee as a result of a collision in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.

Wade (probable), James (game-time decision) and Bosh (doubtful) may not face the Hawks on Tuesday.

"I'm getting better, I'm doing a lot of treatment and staying in the training room," James said.

"If it was the playoffs I could've definitely went out there and played [Saturday]. We've got to do what it is best for us and the team ultimately. If I feel good and the training staff feels I'm ready to go then I'm going to go."
 
I go to Hawaii for 5 days and come home to find that the Lakers are finding their stride winning 8 out of the last 9, now thats a great thing to come home to. I think I may have been right about all of the knee jerk reactions. they are a solid 2 seed in the west and looked good playing their 6th game in 9 days against an athletic-as-fuck OKC team.

ps. westbrook is a beast

best PG's in the NBA right now.

1. D-will / D-rose
2. Rondo / R. westbrook
3. CP3 / Nash

(cp3's numbers would go up if he had the weapons that rondo williams or rose had around him though)

sooo many other PG's who have bright futures as well

such as the young guns R. felton, J. Wall, S. Curry and B. jennings

lovin it.

how about that Orlando at Boston game?

very good basketball and close from start to finish. do ya'll think that game is an Eastern Conference Championship preview? what I liked the most about it was the offensive post emphasis with Shaq and Dwight Howard. it's nice to see Shaq still try to move around a lot on offense, and even a little bit on defense (in resentment towards Dwight Howard lol maybe?)

Hedo only looks above-average in that black and blue imo

if they trade for a courtney lee type they're dark horse threats to win it all imo

Blake Griffin = Hall of Famer!

Jordan, Griffin, Aminu, Gordon, B-Diddy

w/ Kaman, Bledsoe, draft pick, Diogu, Smith, MLE off the bench

= title
 
“I could’ve bought 10,000 In-N-Out Burgers,” he said. “I rather would’ve done that than give it away. I’m going to get 10 burgers [after Monday's game]. I love In-N-Out. It’s addicting. It’s the only reason I’m here in L.A. If it wasn’t for In-N-Out Burger, I probably would’ve gone to Memphis or something.”– Ron Artest, who is very thankful that his recent technical foul, ejection and — most importantly — associated fines totaling $4,000 have been rescinded


Lol. =D

That was a great game, its rare to see a game that exciting from start to finish. I don't think Hedo will ever put up his scoring numbers that he had 2 years ago when orlando went to the finals, but he's averaging 6.2 assists per game since the trade so creating that offense for Richardson, Howard, Nelson, Bass and even Arenas is still pretty nice.

They'll be exciting if they get it together and possibly even contenders down the line but this year? That horse is so dark its undetectable with the naked eye!

@grimble- I agreement completely with your PG assessment except in calling Felton a young gun... he's almost 27! :D
