NBA 2009-2010 Season Thread
 

Should probably just start this already.

Good call.

Well. Here's hoping for a repeat. See no reason why the Lakers should not repeat. Artest and Kobe are gonna be the best defensive perimeter duo in the league.

Artest and Kobe are going to beat and rape every attractive woman in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

TAG TEAM LAAAAAKEEEEEEE SHOWWWWWWWWWW

Nice! Been using the same Kobe rape joke for the last... what, 5-6 years now, fatass? Have fun watching your Suns be awful again this year.

Sixers first game Wednesday night during the World Series.

That'll get like a .000005 rating in the Philadelphia area.

Birdman's gonna win MVP

If the Celtics stay healthy they are gonna bring the noise. Marquis Daniels and Rasheed Wallace coming off the bench? Come on now

Before KG got hurt last year they were on track to repeat. Ron Artest is gonna fuck shit up w/ the Lakers. He's too much of a retard

Celtic's bench is going to be the important part if they get another title win or NBA Finals appearance since once KG and Powe went down last year, they had almost no "bigs" depth.

Going to be interesting to see how much more Rondo and Big Baby improves since both had a good preseason.

I'm thinkin Lakers Celtics rematch.

Bobcats open up against the Knicks. I may go if I feel like going downtown after work on Friday. probably not

season starts tomorrow tonight. tnt doubleheader

let's hope

They had the Hornets meet and greet Pep Rally in NOLA tonight but I was too busy running errands on my day off to go..

Can't wait till NBA on TNT show returns since that's one of the best sports shows on tv. Always end up laughing at what they do during the post-game part of the show since by that time its late at night and you can tell they just are goofing around.

Hated how ESPN signed up more NBA games last year and this year which meant fewer times it showed on tv.

lol Blake Griffin out six weeks. Clippers are seriously cursed. It sucks, I really wanted to watch this kid ball tomorrow night.

Nicolas Batum out 3-5 months. The Blazers are pretty deep, but that one's still gonna hurt.

Season begins today! LETS GO LAKERS!

Gonna be funny to watch the ring ceremony with Artest sitting on the bench.

HOLY SHIT

Laker gold -- Most rings are 14-karat gold but the Lakers' high-profile jeweler, Jason of Beverly Hills, created a special batch of 15-karat Laker gold to commemorate their 15th NBA championship. The ring is made of both white and yellow gold and was built from seven different parts that had to be assembled. Most rings are built as one unit.

Bling that'll blind -- The ring is comprised of 15 diamonds weighing in at 2.85 carats.

Home court advantage -- The Lakers' rings mirror the shape of the exterior of their home arena, the Staples Center. When viewed from the side, you can see the "roof" and "sides" of the Lakers' home court.

Personalization -- In the past every player has had their name and number on the side of their ring. The Lakers went a step above that and laser engraved the image of each player's face on his ring.

Lock-down defense -- Each ring boasts a hand-selected, diamond-engraved "L". The "L" is placed in a different position on each player's ring and is only viewable with a high-powered microscope. This helps authenticate each players piece. For further security and authentification, every ring has a serial number which is stored in a database that only the Lakers themselves and the jeweler can access.

Hollywood packaging, too -- Each ring will be presented in an oversized box roughly the size of a watch box. When opened, each box has two built-in LED spotlights that shine on the ring. Even the ring itself gets royal treatment: it is mounted on a rotating mechanical platform.

damn....wonder how much THAT set them back.

can't wait to get mine

So basically Lakers hired Xzibit to Pimp My Ring.

Pacers need Bobby Knight in the lockeroom at halftimes.

I'M TIRED OF THIS SHIT! I'M SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF A FUCKING 36 AND 46 RECORD! I'M TIRED OF LOSING TO THE FUCKING CHICAGO!

good lord

I hope Kobe doesn't lose that ring when he forces himself on a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh snap

Im going to subject myself to Mavs/Wizards.

The Wizards actually could be a good team if they stay healthy (which isn't happening already).

Here's hoping the "Wiz" win more than 19 games this year

I hope the Celtics and Cavs kill each other.

LOL Cavs have 14 FTs compared to Celtics 1 FT in the 4th Quarter alone and they going to blow the game after leading 19-5 to begin the game.

ring time, baby

ommmggggggggg yyyyeesss

This is amazing.

lol massage therapist gettin a ring, YEAH!

wtf

Kobe's alibi got one too.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW

[/DaveWadding]

The Wiz are going to get out of Dallas with a win it looks like..

Arenas is definitely back for now at least.

Wizards are definitely a sleeper this year. They may be a 5 seed in the East. Randy Foye is a huge addition and if Jamison comes back at full strength they could mean business.

Wizards are only a sleeper because of how horrendous they ended the year last season.

Before Arenas injury problems, Wiz were a good 3-5 seed team in the East. Didn't help that last 2 years they either got unlucky with bad injuries or Arenas getting "lazy" after receiving his fat contract.

The guys on TNT were hilarious after the ring ceremony. Really ripping into Barkley

lol @ how pissed Charles was that Adam Morrison has a ring and he doesn't

lol that was hilarious

My hopes are really high for Andrew Bynum this year

1-0

Horrible win, really. We played like shit. 41% from the field, and 4-17 from downtown? meh, I guess a W is still a W, not impressed though really.

Only the 3rd quarter was bad tbh.

Shooting percentage was terrible, and we got outrebounded by the Clippers, dude.

Also... Ron Artest cares for Afghan women enough to write a rap song.. and make a music video.

Amazing ring ceremony. Also... Massage guy on the Lakers training staff has a ring, while LeBron James does not. Just sayin'.

If this gay Laker sex thing goes on all season with Juan and Sammy G, I swear to fucking God i'll spam the living shit out of this thread with everything I can possibly find about the Indiana Pacers.

Go ahead tough guy.

lol you're such a baby. What the hell else am I supposed to talk about in this thread?

Talk about the 84' Escort you and 47 other mexicans road in to get to america. I dont know.

Right.

It's not my fault the Pacers suck. and it's not my fault Sammy is a douchebag Lakers fan.

I dont know who let the dog out, but i know who'll find it.

Haha, I actually like that commercial.

Also, fuck you Juan. I am a better Lakers fan than you are.

Afi Afi Afghanistan Women you my niggaz

The Pacers? Havent watched a Pacer game since the Royal Rumble...i mean...since they played Detroit.

Looks like Greg Oden finally learned how to stay on the court; most of his fouls were off ball/offensive, not the usual stupid Greg Oden fouls we saw so much last year. His offense is improved too, but the Blazers didn't give him any touches last night. 12 rebounds and 5 blocks in 24 mins is pretty crazy though.

CELTICS ON TRACK TO GO 82-0

Post here if LeBron James is 0-2

For real though, the Celtics pick & roll options are pretty sick with Rasheed out there. Having a big that can shoot like that is really going to open up a lot of new things for them.

Big Baby is being an idiot though, I think they might end up shipping him out. Upset before the season even started because he is worried about minutes and now his suspended after getting into a fight w/ an old teammate.

Agree on Big Baby, he ended up going from a "must sign" to keep the depth of the bench and a potential rising star player to a dumbass and pissed off the owner that he wants the tag "Big Baby" gone.

Didn't know the Nuggets had Ty Lawson. That's a good move by them.

Even though it was close at times just never had the feeling that the Jazz ever had a chance of winning that game.

I think Indiana had like 40 turnovers tonight. We wont win a game like that ever.

On a side note, I really love Dahntay Jones. Potentially the pick up of the year if Indiana can get there shit straight.

Hate Dahntay Jones. Dirty player.

Weren't you the one freaking out wanting Kobe gone that one year they didn't make the playoffs?

Yes he did.

This is your 1st and final warning.

Who is that man going up against the Jazz? I do not recognize him as a Laker.

He was being selfish, and a douchebag. I like the current Kobe.

HEY YOU TWO!

Please keep all Los Angeles Lakers related news, rumors, comments, and related articles here: http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=96302

This is your 2nd and final warning.

Trevor Ariza is neat.

Oh shit. That one has nothing to do with anything. But still.

Hye just wondering but who told the Wizards they could play Basketball?

NUGSSSSSSSSSSSS SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWww

i really wanted to watch the Bulls/Spurs game

wow Vince Carter can't catch a break

As long as they have "Agent Zero" they should be ok but I would take a bet that says he doesn't even play more than half the season with another injury, which I would have to bet would force him to seriously consider retirement.

Right now they're losing to the Hawks however, so..yeah.

LOL Paul Pierce (20 pts) almost scored as many points as the entire Bulls team (26 pts) did for the 3rd Quarter

Get used to 2nd place, Juan and Samuel.


MAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVSSSSSSSSS SHOWWWWWWWW

Kinda glad I didn't watch the game tbh

Any good lottery prospects next year?

Top 5 reasons you know the Indiana Pacers season is over after two games

# 5. Your buddy swigs his beer, then looks over at you and passionately says " We should bring in Josh McRoberts! "

# 4. It doesnt matter that Troy Murphy leads the team in 3 pointers, assists, rebound and 2nd in scoring. You still cant stop thinking about Peter Stomare.

# 3. You've talked yourself into A.J Price and he's only played 1:18 in the first 2 games.

# 2. Jermaine O'neal has the first of maybe 4 great games he'll have all season, against us at home and then makes comments after the game about how his knees are completely healed and he feels amazing. You start thinking of ways to slit your wrists with broken peanut shells, not because you think he's healthy, but because you got 20:1 odds that he wouldnt have a great game against you and you still cant win. God damn our poor fan lives.

# 1. Two games into the season and Tyler Hansboro's AT&T commercial is the best highlight we have to show for it.

Top reasons you know the Knicks season is done with 2 games out of the way

#1: They lose to the Charlotte Bobcats

Even worse is 2nd time in a row Knicks come back from a doubt-digit deficit and then fall apart in O.T.

Apparently we suck without Pau. He is out again today.

Tuesday Night on ESPN they are going to air a film about Len Bias called Without Bias. should be interesting. such a terrible happening

Len Bias is probably the biggest "What If" in NBA Draft after Trailblazers drafted Bowie and not Jordan in last 20+ years.

He had the potential to extend the Celtics dominance and probably ensure more Lakers v Celtics Finals in late 1980s - early 1990s but at the same time might have not been drafted if the Celtics knew he was a drug addict.
