NBA 2008-2009 Season Thread

[SammyG]

Well, preseason has already tipped off, Lakers first preseason game tommorrow. You know what to do. Calling Lakers-Celtics in the Finals, again, this time with the Lakers winning. (Assuming we have Bynum)

Also, Lakers planning on using Lamar Odom at point guard, wtf. Saying it might be too tall of a front line, with Odom Gasol and Bynum. What the hell, seriously. Just fucking bench Odom, have him play with Farmar, Sasha and them.

ANYWAY. Talk about your teams, and what you expect from this season, and what not. WOOOO, So glad the NBA is back.

[Juan]

I'm so glad basketball is back btw :D

[Juan]

Looks like we're gonna drop the first pre-season game. Oh well. We got bigger things to worry about.

[SammyG]

lol, yeahhh, Bynum was kinda sloppy, turned it over a lot.

[RP]

If Tinsley is still on the Pacers roster by the start of the season, i'm seriously done. Not even joking. I wouldnt care if they traded for Kobe. I'd be done. Larry Bird should have shipped this guy overseas a long time ago.

So did the rumored deal to Denver fall through?

[Gertner]

Jazz 99 Lakers 90. Hand these guys the title.

[SammyG]

[DaveWadding]

How many more losses until Kobe demands a trade again?

Not even gonna take you seriously in this thread, Wadding. Suns stand no chance of winning the division.

[MCEazy]

Bynum looked pretty good against utah

[Kris P Lettus]

Not even gonna take you seriously in this thread, Wadding. Suns stand no chance of winning the division.

Does that mean we get to ignore you in the NFL thread??

:kiss:

[SammyG]

lol, basically. I don't talk much about the Rams in there, I make fun of them mostly.

[Gertner]

.... preseason :)


It's a preview of what's going to happen this year.

[Juan]

Shut up Gertner :mad:

[Juan]

Clippers are going down tonight, btw.

[Juan]

Dammit, looks like 0-2 after all.

[SammyG]

[DaveWadding]

Suns 96
Jazz 89

This means:

Suns > Jazz > Lakers

Thank you.

PS: CLIPPPPPPP SHOWWWWWWW

[Juan]

[Juan]

lol @ preseason

i know it's no big deal, but basketball is really the only pro sport I follow, so I get into it early.

[SammyG]

Yeah, understandable, but i'm laughing at the people that are like ZOMG THE LAKERS HAVE LOST 2 GAMES IN A ROW IN PRESEASON, BYNUM AND GASOL AREN'T MESHING, OMG!!!!

Big fuckin' deal. First game against Portland is gonna be insane, though.

[Juan]

Yup

[Juan]

Some good plays by Ariza last night imo

preseason is lame scrub playing time

[Kris P Lettus]

Other teams besides the Spurs play during preseason, Ninti..

[Gertner]

Lakers are probably gonna struggle to make 8th.

[Ninti the Mad]

Exactly my point, Krispy.

[Kris P Lettus]

Oh, when you said "lame scrubs" I assumed you were talking about the Spurs..

[Ninti the Mad]

Yes, those same Spurs that took out NOLA's dreams of the playoffs even when injured. :(

[Kris P Lettus]

Yeah the same Hornets that STFU..

:foc:

[SammyG]

Lakers are probably gonna struggle to make 8th.
lolllllllllll

[Kris P Lettus]

It's funny cause it's true..

[Kris P Lettus]

Monte Ellis got a 30 game suspension for that mo-ped accident this offseason..

Dude was in special ed for a reason..

Rumors here were, he was playing in a pickup game in West Jacktown when he got hurt..

Still love him though..

[SammyG]

Yea, dude is a baller.

Also, when the hell did PHX pick up Barnes?

[McLegend]

Eagles down by 9 with 18 mins left in the game.

Gotta win this.

[SammyG]

lol what McLegend?

[McLegend]

How the hell did I do that?

[Juan]

The young guys looked good tonight against the Kings.

[SammyG]

Yeah, agreed. I think I kidna like the idea of LO coming off the bench.. That's how deep this team is..

[Juan]

Also, is Spencer Hawes Chirs Mhm's younger brother?

Clearly.

[Ninti the Mad]

You know... Since 2003, either the Spurs have won the championship or an Eastern Conference team does.

Its like whichever team beats the Spurs gets mauled in the finals.

2003 - Spurs
2004 - Pistons
2005 - Spurs
2006 - Heat
2007 - Spurs
2008 - Celtics

I dont feel good about this year though. We didnt improve shit.

[Kris P Lettus]

Patriots of the NBA..

[Ninti the Mad]

Not bad for a small market. :cool:

[Kris P Lettus]

Do you actually live in SA and do you go to games??

[Juan]

Lakers play Regal FC Barcelona tomorrow

[Ninti the Mad]

I used to live in SA. I used to watch the games when I was a kid back when Vinny Del Negro, David Robinson, Avery Johnson, Sean Elliot, Dennis Rodman, and even Will Perdue(lol).

Always been a loyal fan. Always will.

Same with the Cowboys because the Cowboys are big in SA. I think there are more fans in SA per capita than in Dallas itself.

[Juan]

Watching the Kings/Clippers game. They're playing at the University of Pacific in Stockton, about 15 mins from my house.

[Ninti the Mad]

Shaq already talking shit about the Spurs. lol

He's mad at the hack a shaq. You would think he would learn to shoot free throws after being in the league FOREVER.

[Juan]

lol Shaq is a joke now.

[Juan]

The Clippers' young guys stole the show in the 2nd half btw

[SammyG]

Is it opening day yet :(

[Juan]

I wish

[Juan]

I'm looking forward to the game against Portland.

[SammyG]

Nash sprainks ankle

[Kris P Lettus]

[MCEazy]

Kobe looking good tonight, 28 points and 6 steals in over 26 mins, not bad

[Juan]

Barcelona just went on a 10-0 run with about 2 minutes left

[MCEazy]

[SammyG]

Kinda concerned with Bynum's contract status.

[SammyG]

lol nash sprained his ankle again.

Anyway. Watched Lakers-Raptors tonight. Jordan Farmar dominated. Top 2 plays, Farmar facial on Bosh, and then later on, Farmar on a breakaway, throws ball off backboard, Ariza slams it home. Amazing.

[Juan]

Deron Williams out for 2 weeks with a sprained ankle also.

[RP]

Pacers might shock some people this year. This team is looking pretty good. They're deep and if Hibbert can play as good as he's been in the preseason, this could be a top 5 team in the East.

[RP]

Ofcourse we need Ford not to break his spine again and hopefully none of our players shoot anyone at the club this year.

Brandon reminds me of Paul Peirce

[SammyG]

... Did Kobe really just injure his knee.... really...?

[Juan]

hyperextended :(

[MCEazy]

hmm, well I don't think he'll be out that long with a hyper extended knee injury, might miss the opener but I doubt it.

[Ninti the Mad]

That is why you dont make fun of injuries.

Karma.

[RP]

Ofcourse, hyper extended is a common diagnosis for a knee that hasnt had an MRI ran yet.

[RP]

Kobe Bryant out for the season with torn ACL

[Gonzo]

Where did you read that? I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious. ESPN only has the injury as a hyper extension.

[RP]

nah kidding. Wanting to see if SammyG kills himself

[McLegend]

that's hilarious. LA might be on suicide watch.

Gotta stay tuned.

[Juan]

Kobe Bryant out for the season with torn ACL

You had me worried there for a second :mad:

[Juan]

Kobe Bryant's injury not serious


EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) -- Lakers fans can rest easy. Kobe Bryant's right knee was a bit sore Wednesday, but the injury isn't serious and it's possible he won't miss any playing time.

"I'm all right, a little bit better today, a better mood, anyway," Bryant said after sitting out practice due to the hyperextended right knee he suffered Tuesday night in the second quarter of the Lakers' 102-98 preseason victory over the Charlotte Bobcats in San Diego.

Wearing an ice bag on his knee, Bryant said he felt a lot better about his injury Wednesday morning.

"There was no swelling," he said. "At that point, I knew I was OK. Some injuries can go either way. You've got to get lucky. I didn't sleep much, to be honest with you. Just moving it around, seeing if it was all right. These type of injuries kind of sneak up on you."

Bryant, the reigning NBA MVP, was injured under the Lakers' basket when he banged knees with teammate Josh Powell while going for a rebound. He immediately signaled to the bench that he was hurt, and a timeout was called. Bryant then sat at the end of the bench before walking to the locker room, and didn't return for the second half.

"I saw the ring flash before my eyes," Bryant said. "I was pretty worried. That's the scariest part, sitting there for five or 10 minutes, seeing what's going to develop."

Powell said he didn't feel anything.

"I didn't see him until I turned around. I turned around, saw him jumping up and down. I thought he rolled his ankle," Powell said.

"It was all his fault," Bryant said with a smile. "We just happened to run into each other."

The 30-year-old Bryant, examined Wednesday by trainer Gary Vitti, won't see a doctor or have an MRI. He said he hopes to play Thursday night when the Lakers face the Bobcats again, this time in Anaheim.

"If I can go, I can go," Bryant said. "It's all good."

Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he wouldn't talk Bryant out of not playing.

"We always like players to go out and play," the coach said. "That's what they do. It gives us a chance to go out and function on the floor."

While Jackson said he wasn't too concerned, he added: "Seeing this injury over the course of my career, it's an injury you can't minimize at all. It could have some lingering effects. We'll see how it is tomorrow. We kind of go day-to-day in this business."

Notes: The Lakers requested waivers on Joe Crawford and forward CJ Giles, reducing their roster to the opening-day maximum of 15. Crawford, the 58th overall pick in the NBA draft last June after playing four seasons at Kentucky, averaged 2.8 points in six preseason games. Giles, a free agent who played for Oregon State last season, averaged 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in four preseason games.

[MCEazy]

told ya guys, he's ight

[Gertner]

Did he hurt his raping ACL? That would be disasterous.

[Juan]

I don't think Kobe is playing tonight.

[Juan]

Yeah, he's not playing.

[Juan]

Really sloppy game so far for Lakers/Bobcats :nono:

On the other hand, the Kings/Rockets game has been pretty good so far.

[Juan]

30-36 at the Half. This is lame.

[RP]

ITS THE PREASEASON ASS! God damn you're pissing me off.

[Juan]

lol thanks for the breaking news

[SammyG]

Yeah what a terrible game, but that is to be expected in the preseason. Hopefully Kobe sits out tonight, too. Sasha gonna play probably though.

[ClockShot]

An ambulance was called to Isiah Thomas' house a short time ago. Police said someone overdosed on sleeping pills and that the person is only 47 years old.

Thomas is 47. But details are fuzzy right now on if it's him or somebody else.

[DrA]

Oklahoma City Thunder? Really?

[Juan]

Yeah it's lame

[SammyG]

lol yeah, sounds like a WNBA team, huh.

[Triple A]

lol Isiah Thomas :'(

[Kris P Lettus]

Knicks brought him down..

:(

[SammyG]

Yeah, that sucks bout Isiah. Kobe is gonna play in the last preseason game, retarded decision IMO, He's hurt as it is, why risk further injury.

[Juan]

I doubt he'll play a lot of minutes though

[Kris P Lettus]

What is wrong with him?? I know he fucked his knee up but all I heard was that it wasn't as bad as they originally thought.. What'd he do sprain it??

[Juan]

He hyperextended it. He played a few minutes in the first quarter, but it's been all Lakers the whole game. It's actually a beautiful sight. Bynum is being a beast as usual. Ariza made some nice plays. Farmar was very productive. Even Radman made some good defensive plays.

[Juan]

Bynum played great tonight, but I really liked the Gasol/Odom/Vujacic/Farmar/Ariza unit that was out there tonight.

[SammyG]

lol god we are gonna DOMINATE this year. Bynum is the man.

[Ninti the Mad]

Too many Lakers fans in this thread.

I understand Juan since he lives in Cali though.

[Juan]

Killa Cali

[Ninti the Mad]

california love

[Ninti the Mad]

I lived in Santa Monica for like 2 months when I was a kid.

Then I went south to Tecate in Baja California for awhile.

That's the good part of California. I live in the fuckin Valley

[SammyG]

Also, I am having a tough time seperating Michael Phelps from Eli Manning.

[RP]

I'm having a tough time seperated Michael Phelps from gay

[Juan]

Opening day tomorrow!

[SammyG]

Bynum vs Oden should be fun

[RP]

Ok so the Pacers open against the Pistons. I honestly wasnt sure because when you look at schedules, theres nothing that says preseason or regular season. Its fucking mind numbing to me.

Anyways, should be good stuff. I think Indy is gunna suprise, but i'll be pissed if Tinsley is still on the roster then, because Bird and the organization promised he wouldnt be.

God I wish I could punch Paul Pierce in his fat face :mad:

i don't think his face is really "fat"... now, glenn davis... different story.

anyway, a good win... the refs were horrible both ways, if this is a sign of how it will be, it's gonna be a long season.

I was at the game, the ring ceremony was great.

back to back... bring on the fakers.

[Juan]

LAKE SHOW!

We got the clippers tomorrow. Should be another easy W

[SammyG]

lol @ Odom's pass to Sasha out of bounds.

We are ridiculously deep, as a team, it's crazy.

Poor Oden.... Meh, not really. But still.

[RP]

PACEEEEEEEEEEEE SHOW!!!!!!!


I would love to see the Pacers start this season off with a huge victory at Detroit tonight. That would make my week.

[Ninti the Mad]

Pacers > Colts now???????????

[Ninti the Mad]

I am hoping for a SA win tonight.

Facing Phoenix without Ginobili so might be rough.

Wadding's fat ass is gonna gloat for beating SA that isnt 100% to start the season. :mad:

[RoXer]

God can they just get rid of Diaw? Please? I don't want to deal with his non-aggressive pussy french faggot bullshit this season.

[RoXer]

I am excited to see Sideshow Rob though.

[KingofOldSchool]

PACEEEEEEEEEEEE SHOW!!!!!!!


I would love to see the Pacers start this season off with a huge victory at Detroit tonight. That would make my week.

Here's hoping...

[RoXer]

This works for now I guess. My laptop is still busted so I can't really see what I'm doing or else I would photoshop a picture that was 100x better.


I hope every time he makes a shot they play the 4 notes of Sideshow Bob's theme music.

[RP]

Pacers > Colts now???????????

I didnt realize i couldnt be a fan of both.

[ClockShot]

Greg Oden out 2-4 weeks.

Is it safe to start laughing yet?

[Juan]

lol Sideshow Rob

[SammyG]

lol Oden

[KingofOldSchool]

Pacers keeping up with the Pistons without Dunleavy, Granger is playing like a beast out there.

I'm shocked they haven't played Hibbert more.

[Juan]

Lake Show shooting 55% @ the half.

[RP]

I swear i hate Troy Murphy and Marquis Daniels. All they do is fuck shit up and turn the ball over. How many 15-18 foot jumpers do the Detroit front line have to make all net before Murphy decided to jump and put a hand in there face. Seriously. And every 3 he misses, slams off the rim and goes 10 feet in the air.

[Gertner]

Nice job Denver. You couldn't even beat my Jazz without D-Will. Nobody is gonna challenge us for the division.

[Juan]

I didnt realize you were a fucking moron.

[Juan]

lol Lakers putting on a CLINIC

[RP]

I didnt realize you were a fucking moron.

wait what? lol

[RP]

I think if Dunleavy was heathy and playing tonight, we would have won. BTW Granger leads the league in scoring... :shifty:

[Ninti the Mad]

When did I say you couldnt be a fan of both?

[RP]

Its not Pacers > Colts now. I like both of them evenly. Though I have to admit, i've never been this excited for the start of the NBA season and thats because the Colts are licking balls.

[Ninti the Mad]

Thats all I meant.

[DaveWadding]

I am hoping for a SA win tonight.

Facing Phoenix without Ginobili so might be rough.

Wadding's fat ass is gonna gloat for beating SA that isnt 100% to start the season. :mad:

Not really. I didnt even watch much of the game. I'm glad this first one was a grind it out kind of win though. They didnt have much of that last year.

couple comments on the Spurs though:

is Popobitch serious with that beard? That is some creepy pedophile type shit.

I think its time for Fins to hang it up. I :heart: the guy, but he just looked OLD tonight.

Looks like this is what its gonna be like for the Spurs until the Flop Artiste comes back. Which sucks for Ninti.

[The Genius]

warriors :mad:

[Juan]

Pop is a douche for going for the Hack-a-Shaq like 2 minutes into the 1st quarter.

it was a joke. It was funny too.

[Juan]

That first one was. Shaq was pissed later in that game at the Hack-a-Shaq.

[The Genius]

That was a great game tbh

i cant even get fox sports with direct tv, searched and didnt see the warriors game at all. watched first half of clippers/lakers instead. but just saw that they lost and new orleans covered the spread.

[ClockShot]

Wow. Knicks were killing the Heat the entire game and they let them get within 5 in the last 6 minutes or so.

Sloppy. Way to go, D'Antoni.

[SammyG]

Lakers absolutely dominating niggaz right now.

Also, we just locked up Bynum, 4 years, 58 million. Another good deal by Mitch.

[Ninti the Mad]

Not really. I didnt even watch much of the game. I'm glad this first one was a grind it out kind of win though. They didnt have much of that last year.

Its only 25 games or so and we played AWESOME for not having Ginobili. Mason was stepping up.

Or, it could be that the Spurs played horrible and the Suns were horrible too but just slightly better.


I would worry Wadding because the Spurs looked strong without Ginobili or Oberto on the court and come Playoffs, I am sure it will be Spurs/Phoenix again unless someone goes 7th/8th and deals with the Lakers(most likely but we will see)

[Kris P Lettus]

Hornets are gonna destroy the Suns tonight!!

Pretty good game in Dallas atm

[Juan]

Looks like the Ron Artest project in Houston might actually work out.

[Kris P Lettus]

Looks like I was right about the Hornets beating the shit out of the Suns..

[Juan]

Nobody cares about the Phoenix Suns. Also, does Steve Nash own a mirror/comb?

[DaveWadding]

Fucking Suns and their shitty ass 20+ turnovers. Give me a fucking break.

Great game by the Hornets though. 54% 3 point shooting :eek:

[Kris P Lettus]

Two Way Peja was on FIRE...

All that without Tyson Chandler too..

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[DaveWadding]

Yeah, that's the funny thing...without Chandler I thought Shaq and Amare would just push them around on the block, but that doesn't work if you're not holding onto the ball.

and of course the long range shooting neutralized the effect of the Hornets not having the low post offense. :(

[Kris P Lettus]

Stoutamire isn't that much better than David West, specially not on the defensive end of the court..

Sure Shaq is still a dominant presence in the paint, but he is too slow for the speed that the Hornets bring..

[SammyG]

Nov 20th.

[Kris P Lettus]

Nov 12th..

Nov 20th.

We're gonna tear them apart.

I know it's only half time, but the Pacers are up seven on the Celtics.

Now watch them come out flat in the second half and end up getting blown out. :-\

[KingofOldSchool]

Hahahaha awesome.

This without Dunleavy.

Please basketball Gods, please let this be a sign of things to come.

[McLegend]

Massive choke

[KingofOldSchool]

Ha what an exclamation point by Jarrett Jack.

[KingofOldSchool]

Holy shit @ Granger's teeth on the floor

[Juan]

lol Carmelo almost held to under double digits in scoring. He ended up with 11 points lol

[RP]

Granger defending Pierce like it was the Finals up like 15 points with 5 minutes to go was the best.

[RP]

Is it me or is Danny Granger, Scottie Pippen 2.0. Maybe even better. So happy we beat the shit out of the Boston Celtics. They had nothing for our offense. And we D'ed up too. Garnett even said they had nothing. It was fantastic. Lets beat Phoenix and Cleveland now. Then we're talking.

[Kris P Lettus]

Going down to NOLA to do a two day Nike commercial at New Orleans Arena.. I don't know if any Hornets players will be there (cause I didn't asked the guy that called me) but I'm guessing there will be cause it's at the Arena and they don't play again until Wed, at home..

I'm taking a camera and whatnot so we'll see..

:o

[Gertner]

Friggen Jazz torched the Clippers.

[SammyG]

Holy fucking shit @ Gasol's facial

lol he should just go the rest of the season like that.

[KingofOldSchool]

According to ESPNEWS' breaking news bottom line, the Nuggets are expected to trade Allen Iverson to the Pistons for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess.

[DaveWadding]

Funny how they've had both those guys before...in Dice's case, this would be his 3rd go around in Denver. :rofl: :mad:

[Splaya]

SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW :love::love:

[SammyG]

So Granger got his teeth knocked out? Is there a video or anything?

Also, holy shit @ that trade. McDyess's contract is expected to be bought out though, so don't expect him to play.

[Splaya]

The sick thing is, Dice's contract will be bought out and he will resign with the Pistons

[ClockShot]

So did 'Mello force out Iverson. Or is there something I'm not seeing in this trade?

[SammyG]

Yeah this was so unexpected.

[CNM]

There's a bunch of reasons for this. For one, AI has slowed down a little bit this season. Whether it's his bum ankle or his age catching up with him, who knows, but the Nuggets didn't want to wait to find out. Two, JR Smith is ready to take over full time at the 2 guard. Three, this team needs a good PG to really reach it's full potential on offense. And finally, this puts the Nuggets really close to being under the luxury tax. I'll miss AI, he's a warrior, but Chauncey fits better on this team.

[McLegend]

Also Expiring contract.

[Gertner]

Detroit is gonna start Stuckey, AI, Rip Sheed and Johnson I heard. Have fun rebounding.

[SammyG]

Yeah what the hell, Sheed is the only rebounder the have.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah I was surprised, they needed help in the paint more so than someone like Iverson.

[Gertner]

This is why teams like my Jazz friggen own the Pistons. Nothing in the paint to prevent us from making them our bitch.

[RGWhat316]

I'm really not too sure what to think about this. I really don't like Chauncey leaving Detroit, he is the main guy on our team. I'd almost rather they trade Sheed instead.

[McLegend]

I bet by the end of this year they trade Rasheed.

[Gertner]

Jazz mauling the Clippers again. Millsap is a monster.

Clippers and Lakers shooting under 40% :nono:

[Gertner]

Jazz 4-0 baby!

[Juan]

LOL Skinner misses an uncontested, wide open dunk.

[Juan]

Really ugly game going on in LA right now.

[Juan]

Horrible free throw shooting.

[Juan]

Jordan Farmar is really keeping this game from being a total snooze fest.

[Juan]

19-0 run, we got this.

[SammyG]

LOL Lakers go on a 22-0 run in the 4th to turn an ugly, close game into a massive blowout. 106-88. Farmar was clutch, and how bout Drew? 17 boards! Tied a career high.

[MCEazy]

Clips looked like utter shit in the fourth :lol: 4 - 0!!!

[Juan]

6 straight wins against the clips lol

[RP]

I guess it helps when your PF plays the game of his life.

[SammyG]

LOL Farmar!
