NBA 2010-2011 Season Thread

[DaveWadding]

sup Skippord? :naughty:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

We've played a tough schedule so far so to have this record we've gotta be thinking positive. A couple wins slipped out of our grasp but we can get those back over the long season. We're good.

[SammyG]

Who is your team, Supreme?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

We go by many names. In 7 months you'll know us as Championssssssssss

[Kris P Lettus]

Oh well, hornets play the mags again here wed night.. Prolly going tomthe cavs game Friday..

[The Gold Standard]

So, how bad are the Nuggets going to beat the Knicks tonight? I am thinking 105-86. Carmelo will have 35 points. What do you think?

[Emperor Smeat]

At least 10 "Melo" chants similar to when Kobe or Lebron was there when both wanted or thought about leaving their teams.

[The Gold Standard]

In Denver?

[Emperor Smeat]

I read the schedule wrong and thought it was in New York today.

[The Gold Standard]

It is cool.

[The Gold Standard]

Is it sad that I have given up on the Knicks already. I don't even want to watch this team.

[The Gold Standard]

THE KNICKS NEED TO STOP TAKING 3'S!!!

[The Gold Standard]

Gallinari 0-4 from 3. He is a star right?

[The Gold Standard]

If the Knicks win tonight it is proof that Turiaf is the teams MVP.

[The Gold Standard]

Tied at the end of the quarter. I say that is a win.

[Dragon]

1-15 from 3 and showing no signs of stopping.

The only offensive play the Knicks have is to perch 4 guys behind the 3 on every single play and keep shooting no matter how bad the shot is.

[Loose Cannon]

fucking terrible.

[Loose Cannon]

They play no defense. Felton cannot get the ball to Amare on the pick and roll. Chandler thinks he is Reggie Miller shooting all these threes.

I was never a fan of the D'Antoni signing as coach, nor the Gallo pick. Ironically, I wanted Avery Johnson and Brook Lopez. Avery teaches defense and it is always good to have a good center.

The front office is just awful. Their scouts are terrible as well.

2006: 21st Pick - Renaldo Balkman (Rajon Rondo was picked with the next pick.)
2008: 6th Pick - Danilo Gallinari (Eric Gordon Picked next pick, Brook Lopez 4 picks later.)
2009: 8th Pick - Jordan Hill (Brandon Jennings picked 2 picks later.)

In 2009, they basically chose Toney Douglas over Brandon Jennings because later in the draft they picked Douglas.

They would have had a great core with either Rondo or Jennings next to Lopez. I know it may have not played out that way, but just looking at it. They are just inept.

yea, makes me sick. they missed out on Curry by a pick in 09 as well.

[SammyG]

Damn, Shannon was insane tonight.

Lamar Odom + Pau Gasol = 40 points, 26 rebounds, 15-25 FG's

LO had his 276th career double double
Pau had his 285th career double double

[The Gold Standard]

Who is excited for the Knicks game?

[RP]

Poor Brent Barry

[Juan]

Poor Brent Barry

http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/brent-barry-wife.jpg

[RP]

Hey Tony Parker is here. Hide your wives!

[The Gold Standard]

He is an idiot.

[McLegend]

What a dickhead.

[McLegend]

Mind you I'm not calling Tony Parker a dickhead because he cheated on his wife. I am calling him a dickhead because I don't like him, and his flopping he brought over from France. Fuck that shit.

[McLegend]

Go Steve Nash!

[The Gold Standard]

I am ready for Evans to pick apart the Knicks. I do not know if there is a team I can see the Knicks actually beat.

[The Gold Standard]

It seems to be a different person every night that kills the Knicks. That person is not necessarily on the other team though.

[The Gold Standard]

Knicks are 3-20 right now...Wow.

[The Gold Standard]

It just seems that Knicks have no heart. They do not want to be playing right now. All of that starts with the coach.

[The Gold Standard]

The clock is ticking for D'Antoni

[The Gold Standard]

WE CAN'T EVEN MAKE FREE THROWS!!

[The Gold Standard]

Bill Walker just missed an easy dunk

[wwe2222]

The Knicks keep getting worse somehow. I dont get it.

[The Gold Standard]

I wonder if the Knicks see a pattern, other than bad shooting in this losing streak. What is it? They are getting beat by guys drafted in the first round of the past few drafts. Holliday, Jennings, Curry, Love, Scola, Anthony.

[The Gold Standard]

The Knicks keep getting worse somehow. I dont get it.

It is the coach 100%. He needs to go. They need a new philosophy in there and, in my opinion, a guy with fire. D'Antoni seems very laid back. I think they need a screamer as the coach. Keep all the players on edge.

[Kris P Lettus]

Glad the Hornets pulled that one out.. Going to the cavs game fri night..

[The Gold Standard]

I have been very critical of the Knicks and I think it is well deserved, but I will also praise them when they do well. It is only because I want them to be good.

[Juan]

Greg Oden to miss the entire season again. Ouch

[Aguakate]

Greg Oden to miss the entire season again. Ouch

Oh man. I think he can officially be labeled as a "bust". Though injuries just happen, uknow...but still. Durant is making the Blazers look dumb.

[Kris P Lettus]

Oden has played ONE of FOUR seasons since being drafted..

[SammyG]

BUST

[OssMan]

i hereby declare greg oden a bust

[SammyG]

Thank you, Stephen A Smith sock

[Juan]

Fucking Matt Barnes was a beast tonight. 24 points off the bench on 7-7 FG's including 5-5 from 3.

[Juan]

in 24 mins ftr

[Kris P Lettus]

Hornets win again.. I didn't make the game but I will be going soooooooon..

[OssMan]

Can we just have Matt Barnes and Delonte West on the same team already

[Emperor Smeat]

Hornets and Raptors involved in 5 player deal.

Hornets get:
Jarrett Jack, David Andersen and Marcus Banks

Raptors get:
Peja Stojakovic and Jerryd Bayless

ESPN said the deal would have been done a day or so earlier but it took a while for the Hornets to balance the cash needed to go to the Raptors and will actually occur as 2 trades to be approved by Stern. Hornets also did the deal more for escaping the luxury tax penalty more than improving the team.

[SammyG]

God damn, Blake Griffin.

[SammyG]

Perfect night from Pau, blowout win.

[SammyG]

WITNESS!!!!

[Juan]

wow only 77 points by the Heat. I bet RP creamed his Hane's sweatpants

[SammyG]

Shit, I would if i was an Indiana fan

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: ESPN NBA Pregame report about the Heat said how the team just realized they can't just cake-walk to 70 wins and actually need to show some effort and determination to win.

Heat coach is going to get fired regardless of their record since Riley only said how the coach has his job just for now and not guaranteed for the season. Riley is also pissed at the laziness of the team since it makes him look bad for the deal.

[Loose Cannon]

didn't even realize they were 8-6 as of the other night. dunno if they've played since.

[Nervous Ferret]

Knicks and Heat have the same amount of wins.<label for="rb_iconid_6">http://tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif</label>

[SammyG]

LOL heat

[Juan]

[DaveWadding]

Derrick Rose is insane in person. He took over the game last night in stretches and it was amazing to watch.

[Gertner]

Hmmmm, I clicked on this thread for a reason and now I can't remember. Oh yeah, that's right JJJJJJJJJJJJJAZZ SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

[SammyG]

Regular season wins must be pretty huge for Utah fans

[Gertner]

JAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alvarado52]

Gertner's favorite player is Greg Ostertag.

[SammyG]

Let's talk when it matters , Gertner. the playoffs.

[Emperor Smeat]

Knicks want to add spectator bridges or walkways above the court as part of the renovations for Madison Square Garden.

Their idea is to use the bridges similar to how Fenway Park has the Green Monster seats as a tourist attraction to the stadium than any real practical reasons.

The bridges most likely won't be an enclosed or glass walkway to protect people from falling or tossing stuff onto the floor.

Whole renovations is going to cost more than if they were to just build a new stadium ($700 - $800 million).

[OssMan]

heat lose again

[SammyG]

lolololol Heat

[Dragon]

Knicks only half a game behind the immortal Miami Heat.

[RoXer]

Some terrible reffing in the Nugs/Suns game. On both ends.

[alvarado52]

Will someone explain to me what the fuck is going on?

[The Gold Standard]

Nice win by the Knicks. SAME AMOUNT OF WINS AS THE HEAT!!!

[Juan]

Will someone explain to me what the fuck is going on?

I think RP's prayers have finally been answered.

[SammyG]

lol, ya know, if the Rams didn't win today I'd be SUPER devastated about a loss to Indiana at home.

[OssMan]

here we go wizards

[SammyG]

No J-Wall though :(

[OssMan]

Shit

[OssMan]

Juwan Howard's Combat Basketball

[SammyG]

alright wtf

[Gertner]

Enjoy watching your Pacers getting raped tonight RP.

[Gertner]

Gertner's favorite player is Greg Ostertag.

Lol I actually had Ostertag pictures on my locker in high school. I LOVED Ostertag.

[Juan]

4 in a row :(

some of these are gold,lets see if they actually follow this structure.

[McLegend]

I am excited for tonight.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This could be mildly entertaining. Fully expect LeBron to go off although I hope he shits his pants.

[McLegend]

I'm more excited for this game then I am the Eagles game tonight.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol, they actually cheered.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

LOL @ that opening. TNT went all out for this. That looked expensive as shit.

[McLegend]

He did the powder toss.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The Heat are one of the laziest teams I've ever seen.

[The Gold Standard]

I love this crowd

[The Gold Standard]

The Heat offense is LeBron gets the ball at the top of the key and everyone else stands around waiting for James to make a move.

[The Gold Standard]

The Cavs are starting to look like the Cavs.

[The Gold Standard]

This has potential to get real ugly real quick.

[The Gold Standard]

The heat offense is a mess. It is James at the top of the key in ISO position. He holds it until 7 seconds then drives

[The Gold Standard]

No one moves. No wonder why they have started the season like this.

[Johnny Vegas]

Does anybody have a stream for the game..my roommates want to watch...Bones..:n:

[The Gold Standard]

Cavs are ice cold.

[The Gold Standard]

Does anybody have a stream for the game..my roommates want to watch...Bones..:n:

Tell them to suck it and put on Cavs/Heat

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Cavs need to practice their floaters in the paint. They really suck at those.

[The Gold Standard]

They just need to get better at shooting period.

[The Gold Standard]

Byron Scott is a very good coach.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

LeBron flopping like Divac out there.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cavs were always bad at shooting, they just had Lebron to hide the fact they were a pretty streaky team in terms of scoring and shots. Cavs tried everything to help Lebron but the team itself was always streaky with shooting.

Same with the Heat right now being disorganized since the team just expects either Lebron or Wade to take over with the game.

[The Gold Standard]

I think the problem last year was they got Jamison rather than Amare for LeBron.

[The Gold Standard]

Mo Williams stinks.

[The Gold Standard]

This game is over.

[The Gold Standard]

Reggie Miller is right, James is putting gas on the fire by going to the bench to talk to Gibson.

[Nervous Ferret]

Lebron should go for 50

[Nervous Ferret]

Screw that, go for 60 Lebron

[Nervous Ferret]

He's sitting for the whole 4th. Was really rooting for him to go into ***HEEL MODE*** and just keep nailing shots with hands in his face :(

[OssMan]

Fuck James LeBron

[IC Champion]

I dont know who I had an argument with a couple months back about contraction in the NBA, and the NBA being watered down, but I don't see how anyone couldn't be in favour of contraction, unless you're from Sacramento or Indiana. 15 of the 30 teams are under .500. 12 teams have a winning perctentage below .400, and somehow one of them is in a playoff spot. The gap between the haves, and have-nots is ridiculous. There are too many teams and far too many roster spots avaliable for players who shouldn't even be in the NBA. When comparedto leagues like the NHL and especially the NFL, there are far fewer competetive teams. Contraction can't come soon enough, and they really need to fuck off with this talk of expanding to Europe, there are enough shitty teams in the NBA.

[Nervous Ferret]

If the Knicks beat the Hornets, Kris P. Lettus and everyone from New Orleans is gay

[IC Champion]

lol

Nice win by the Knicks. Hopefully they can do some damage this next week because after that they have a rough stretch of games.

true

THAT would've been a game i would've bought tickets for

Kobe Bryant voted best player in the NBA

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was named the best player in the NBA, ahead of Heat forward LeBron James, in Sporting News’ annual survey of current and former players, coaches, general managers and broadcasters.

SN asked 76 NBA types, including Elgin Baylor, Bob Cousy, Mike D’Antoni, Mike Fratello, Daryl Morey, Lenny Wilkens, Doc Rivers and Stan Van Gundy, to list the top 50 players in the league. Bryant received 49 of their first-place votes to maintain his spot atop the list, while James had 22 first-place votes and Magic center Dwight Howard received one.

[Emperor Smeat]

The jump by Durant is huge in the poll and no doubt he's going to top one of these lists within 2-3 years.

Meanwhile, the NBA might pull a "MLB" plan and buy the Hornets until they either find a new buyer or based on some rumors, move them or another team (Memphis, Charlotte, Toronto) to Seattle.

[IC Champion]

That is retarded, the NBA would never move The Raptors, more importantly MLSE would never move them, and according to MLSE they aren't for sale. Seriously, do a little research and don't just name under performing teams. Toronto does very well in attendance, makes money, unlike a half dozen other teams that would move first.

[IC Champion]

And the NBA should buy the Hornets and start there for contraction.

That is what I was hearing from rumors of a potential list but NBA wouldn't actually move Toronto when Stern said his goal was to expand more teams outside the US.

Some lists had Minnesota and Clippers as teams but then you'd be taking out too many West teams and have to restructure the divisions to make up for the loss.

Raptors are one of the teams in the NBA that actually makes money, which is even more impressive when you think about what the fans have to watch and cheer for.

[RoXer]

Assman, this Booker guy is throwing down some sick dunks against the Suns

[Nervous Ferret]

Trevor Booker is the greatest. I totally touched his back once :cool:

[Nervous Ferret]

His little brother Devin is a sophomore at Clemson now. Even bigger than Trevor and also a monster. Too bad Clemson always loses in the first round of the NCAA tourney no matter how good they actually are

[Skippord]

went to the Nuggets game tonight, fucking love Ty Lawson and Nene

[OssMan]

Trevor Booker yeah. Not really a huge fan. All he does is dunk mostly

[Droford]

And the NBA should buy the Hornets and start there for contraction.

The SI article I read mentioned they want to put a 2nd team in Chicago seeing as though NY and LA both will have 2 Teams when the Nets move.

I say its a retarded idea.

[Johnny Vegas]

Carmelo Anthony should go to the Knicks

yea please, get the fucking Bobcats out of here. There's not many true Bobcats fans here. Charlotte being a city full of people from the North doesn't help matters, but they garner very little interest. even when they are winning

[Dragon]

Knicks 4 games over .500 for the first time since the 2000-2001 season.

Schedule gets brutal though. During this recent stretch they've been beating the teams they should be, gonna be interesting to see how they actually play against some good teams though.

The rest of December they face some better teams in Denver, Boston, Miami (2), OK, Chicago and Orlando.

[SammyG]

I only like Snoop's verse in that song. Game is OK, I guess.

[SammyG]

Watching Wall run and then Fisher run is hilarious

[Juan]

Who the fuck is Nick Young?

better reck-a-nize

purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow purp and yellow

Yeah man huge win over the wizards

[Juan]

Shut your face. I just can't get that song out of my head.

[SammyG]

Nick Young is a BALLER.

[OssMan]

Dunno. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Andray Blatche get traded if the Wizards could get something good.

[SammyG]

Screw that, dude. Wall and Young are sweet. Of course, I'm biased with my California love towards Young, but I love watching him play. John Wall is gonna be a superstar in this league.

Son of a bitch

Thanks for letting me know that the Sixers are young.

Love Trevor Booker's huge 35 tattoo on his shoulder.

[OssMan]

Thanks for letting me know that the Sixers are young.
Would you go as far as to say thanks for your take

[SammyG]

Fuck off, Lakers, Jesus. Stop playing like shit.

Yay the Knicks beat a real team :cool:

Fuck off, Lakers, Jesus. Stop playing like shit.

It's okay. The regular season doesn't matter, remember?

[The Gold Standard]

KNICKS BABY!! 8 IN A ROW!!

[Loose Cannon]

yea crazy. who do they think they are?

[Dragon]

Great win, Amare is able to put the team on his back when he has to. Been a monster in the 4th quarter.

[Dragon]

Wow, just saw on ESPN that Carmelo told the Nuggets the only team he'll sign an extension with is the Knicks.

Thats huge. Can't imagine any other teams are gonna give up much if he's not signing with them long term.

Denver is going to want some big names or at least some middle range names and picks but who would the Knicks have to lose to make it occur?

If Knicks do get Melo, then no doubt Chris Paul goes there next year to finish the New York Big Three like how Miami planned for their Big Three to arrive.

[SammyG]

Big Drew is back. See ya rest of the league.

[Skippord]

until he gets hurt again in two weeks

[Juan]

Has Carmelo bought his plane ticket to NY yet?

[Skippord]

hopefully, fuck that guy

[Juan]

lol

Kid: Where's Lebron?

Obama: I'm sorry son, he took his talents to South Beach. Kobe's your hero now

Kobe (under his breath): Yea, bitch

[Skippord]

how was Ron Artest allowed near the president?

[OssMan]

where my stars at

[SammyG]

The Machine is no longer part of the Lakers... ah. some good memories here and there. Joe Smith will give us a servicable 5 minutes a game. LOL @ Farmar and Sasha being reunited in NJ now.

[Juan]

Really glad to see Big Bynum back

[SammyG]

Drew is such a presence out there.

Watching game 7 again from last year, Sasha clinching the game... I might miss him.

[Loose Cannon]

how was Ron Artest allowed near the president?

you can see Obama clearly lecturing the kids not to spill any of thier juice on him.

[SammyG]

lol, shitting on IND.

[Emperor Smeat]

:rofl: Nate Robinson celebrating and then falling from Pierce's back when he tried to piggy back him.

Celts-Knicks was an amazing game.

Stoud took a shot at 0.4 and managed to make it but also made the mistake of it has to be a tip shot if its under 0.8 seconds. Crowd went crazy though and it was nice looking.

[Jeritron]

Damn

[Nervous Ferret]

Heartbreaking loss :(

[Jeritron]

lol Knicks, Jets, Yankees

[Dragon]

Wow, what a crazy finish.

Tough to lose when it comes down to that after leading for most of the game. But the fact that the Knicks even pushed the Celtics to that is saying something.

[Dragon]

Game definitely lived up to the hype thats been put on it for the last couple days at least.

[Jeritron]

Bad week or so for New York teams against Boston

[McLegend]

Lol @ Nate Robinson almost breaking his neck.

[SammyG]

lol @ Sixers tomorrow

[Triple A]

Mad excited about basketball for like the first time in 10 years

[SammyG]

Glad to see the East becoming competitive.

[Loose Cannon]

Mad excited about basketball for like the first time in 10 years

word. about time. the game last night was tremendous. Fucking Garden was going nuts

[Innovator]

I can't remember the last time I got into a game like that. I was actually pissed the Knicks lost.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, great game - and a "good loss" if there is such a thing.

Definitely don't want them trading for Carmelo since they'd have to move several of the guys who have helped get them to this point.</font>

[OssMan]

Lol @ Nate Robinson almost breaking his neck.
Yeah wtf

[Juan]

Looks like Yao Ming's career might be done.

[SammyG]

Love Yao. That's too bad.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bobcats season has been soo bad that the owner and GM put every player available for potential trades when normally a team would restrict a few to build around for the future.

Last year they barely missed the playoffs and were expected to be a lower seed playoff contender.

[SammyG]

fuckin' love the Knicks

[Big Fat Mike]

Was definitley on the local news tonight. In manhattan today, some guy from CBS stopped me and asked me what I thought about Lebron coming to the Garden after being a bitch and signing with Miami. Made an ass out of myself, so I'm assuming that's why I made it on the air.

[Nervous Ferret]

Is that on the YouTube big fat mike

[RoXer]

Ugh

[RoXer]

I'm all about Hedo leaving. Fuck him. Was really starting to like J-Rich though

[RoXer]

I would have been going crazy to have Vince Carter.

10 year ago

[SammyG]

Whoa, I love it. I want the East to be really competitive. Arenas, J-Rich, Hedo, Lewis, Howard. I am liking Orlando

[OssMan]

Arenas needed to go but Rashard Lewis wtf? And no draft pick?

[SammyG]

Rashard will help space the floor. Helps J-Wall out.

[Emperor Smeat]

Magic really should have waited till after today to make the trade since another loss and now 1-6 in last 7 games. Not enough players on the bench for help today.

Meanwhile, Wizards had a win over the Heat locked with a 5 point lead with about 32 seconds left in the game .... they end up loosing the game against the Heat.

[Droford]

Rashard will help space the floor. Helps J-Wall out.

The only thing thats going to help Wall out is if he asked Santa Claus for a new ankle.

[SammyG]

He's a fag

[SammyG]

Nike announced this week that three NBA stars will be wearing special shoes on Christmas Day. The cheapest of the three is Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant's Zoom KD III, which has a suggested retail price of $88 primarily because Durant doesn't want a super expensive shoe.

The others that also will hit the stores Sunday are James' LeBron 8 V/2, which has a suggested price of $160, and Bryant's Zoom Kobe VI, which retails for $130. So the natural question is: Why in the heck does the Miami star's shoe sell for $30 more?

"Yeah, it's a better shoe,'' James said Friday after a practice at UCLA on the eve of Miami's Christmas Day battle with Bryant's Lakers at the Staples Center. "But we're all one Nike family.''

So why is it a better shoe?

"Because it is,'' James said. "Because it's LeBron's shoe. It's got my name on it. I take pride in my shoes every year and I've always taken pride in having the best shoe. So they're going to cost a little more if you decide to wear them.''

As to what Bryant thinks of this shoe battle, it's unclear. He declined to talk to the media Friday for the third straight time after his ejection late in last Tuesday's 98-79 home loss to Milwaukee. The guard didn't talk after that game nor after a Thursday practice, which followed the Lakers being off Wednesday.

This guy is seriously retarded

So, when LeBron is asked why his shoe is the best, his answer is: "Because it is. Because it's my shoe".

...:nono:

[SammyG]

Yeah. Complete tool

[Aguakate]

Yeah. Complete tool

You try not to dislike LeBron, and admire his skill and everything he brings to the game...but it's like he WANTS YOU to dislike him. It's like he does everything he can to make you not like him.

[SammyG]

I try to hate him anyway

[Aguakate]

If he's like this NOW, if he ever wins a ring, he'll be out of this world.

[YOUR Hero]

LeBron says the NBA should contract and be more like 1980's basketball. LOL

[Aguakate]

He wants to be "Kid Controversial" or something.

[YOUR Hero]

Don't think Miami had a team in the 80's :D

[Emperor Smeat]

If Wikipedia is correct, Miami didn't get a team until 1988-1989 and was pretty horrible the first few years. Either way, Lebron's team never existed during the the rebirth of Lakers-Celtics rivalry and the debut of Jordan.

[Londoner]

This Celtics/Magic game is fucking amazing.

[YOUR Hero]

He just wants the Cavs to be contracted so that he never has to play them again

[Londoner]

What a win for orlando, after all that time behing behind, was cheering them on with 6 mins to go! lol

[alvarado52]

LeBron says the NBA should contract and be more like 1980's basketball. LOL

Oh, you mean the 80's when players didnt jump ship to play with each other? When the top starts of the league stuck with their teams their whole career and played against their rivals time and time again, win or lose?

[McLegend]

In fairness to Lebron these Kobe Bryant's shoes are hideous.

[Londoner]

In fairness to Lebron these Kobe Bryant's shoes are hideous.

they're aren't they? :D

[Johnny Vegas]

Bosh is balling tonight dude :cool:

[SammyG]

Too bad we won't be able to see them in the Finals..

[RoXer]

there aren't they

[Jeritron]

Orlando Magic missed the memo that it wasn't Game 7 of the Finals

[Juan]

What a horrible day

[alvarado52]

What a horrible day

[SammyG]

Meh, it's one game outta 82, big deal. We got blown out last X-mas too. Season ended with us hoisting the championship. We're fine.

[Skippord]

how does the NBA championship feel when you hoist it up Sammy?

[SammyG]

Pretty sweet, surreal feeling.

[Juan]

Two 3-game losing streaks within a month of each other.

[McLegend]

Yeah Kobe looks old. That might be some trouble.

[SammyG]

Starting to get concerned.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

‎"That's what happens when you make fun of cancer victims" -Some scumbag from Detroit against Kevin Garnett after he left the game landing bad on his foot. He made fun of a player who was playing weak not cancer victims you dipshit. Piston fans suck.

[Juan]

Kevin Garnett should just not open his mouth. Ever.
