NBA 2009-2010 Season Thread

[Juan]

Jordan needed Pippen, Magic needed Kareem and Kobe needs Pau.

[Juan]

So sick of every team having their best night of the season against the Lakers. I lost count of all the times i've heard the other team's announcers say "This is the most energy I've seen them play with all season!" Not to mention how many scrubs have had career and season highs against the Lakers.

[DaveWadding]

Gotta turn it up to beat the champs.

[SammyG]

Jesus Christ, what the fuck Lakers?! Kobe injured his back now. What the hell. This team is not gonna win a championship by playing like this, this is pathetic. Also, I officially regret the Ariza-Artest deal. Dude is a scrub.

[Juan]

Yeah, cuz only scrubs have slumps.

[Juan]

Wow, i'm still taken back at the fact you called Artest a scrub. You're stupid

[DaveBrawl]

Knicks in haunted hotel?
By Mark J. Miller

Some of the New York Knicks appear to believe in ghosts. For real.

According to the New York Daily News, a few members of the team didn't get much sleep while visiting the Oklahoma City Thunder this past weekend because they thought ghosts were roaming the hallways. "I definitely believe it," Jared Jeffries(notes) told the paper. "The place is haunted. It's scary."

The Skirvin Hilton in Oklahoma City has reportedly been a place for ghost lovers for decades. The rumor is that a woman committed suicide there by jumping from a top floor in the 1930s while cradling her baby.

Eddy Curry(notes) supposedly only slept for two hours on Sunday night because his mind was racing. "They said it happened on the 10th floor and I'm the only one staying on the 10th floor," Curry said. "That's why I spent most of my time in (Nate Robinson's)(notes) room. I definitely believe there are ghosts in that hotel."

The Knicks might want to stay somewhere else next time they visit Oklahoma City.

[SammyG]

Wow, i'm still taken back at the fact you called Artest a scrub. You're stupid
What the hell has Artest done offensively? Jack shit. Dude can't jump 3 inches off the ground, you stupid Mexican. Have you seen his moves? Dude uncontrollably posts up and throws up some stupid shit. He was great on defense, but ever since his concussion, he is getting beat left and right. I would almost rather have Luke in there, now that he is back.

[McLegend]

Blake Griffin out for the year after surgery.

[SammyG]

The Clippers curse continues.

[Buzzkill]

LOL oh no Blake Griffin :( poor guy

As a Blazer fan I can certainly sympathize with the Clips right now...

[Buzzkill]

With a young nucleuse of Jeff Green, Russel Westbrook, and James Hardin I think you'd be wrong.

Not to mention they have good GM who knows what he is doing. At least 2 titles this decade.
Gonna go on record RIGHT HERE and say Kevin Durant never wins a championship.

Unless he learns to pass (read: initiate an offense, rather than being the offense) and play defense (I know he is better this year, but that's like saying Paris Hilton was a better actress in her second film)

Otherwise, he is just a 6'9 Allen Iverson (not that that's not a great thing, just not championship material)

[McLegend]

I respect you, but you are so wrong.

[Juan]

What the hell has Artest done offensively? Jack shit. Dude can't jump 3 inches off the ground, you stupid Mexican. Have you seen his moves? Dude uncontrollably posts up and throws up some stupid shit. He was great on defense, but ever since his concussion, he is getting beat left and right. I would almost rather have Luke in there, now that he is back.

Hmm, did you ever stop to think that his offense has been hurt by the fact that he has plantar fasciitis and a sprained finger?? Come on man, if you're gonna be a Laker fan at least know what the fuck you're talking about.

[SammyG]

I do know what the fuck I'm talking about. Has he been good since the beginning of the year on offense? He's an alright shooter, but everytime he tries dribbling inside, I cringe. Dude is whack. Trevor is sucking it up for Houston, too, so maybe I don't want him back. I want LO to start at the 3 over Artest though.

[Juan]

You'll be kissing Artest's ass when he's shutting down on defense in the playoffs.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

rofllll SammyG is such a little bitch when it comes to sports. I honestly cannot believe it

[SammyG]

Never really said anything about his D. His D post concussion has been lackluster, but gotta give it up to him tonight, he finally stepped up in a big game.

[Juan]

He made some big plays against San Antonio too by drawing some fouls. He at least kept it competitive up until the last 2 minutes of that game

[SammyG]

Odom said his right hand is pretty fucked up and he is kinda worried about it. FML another injury.

[Juan]

It's been injured since the last Phoenix game though, so as long as he keeps playing like he did tonight, i'll be a happy camper.

Also, great game by Golden State tonight. Really thought there were gonna pull a win out.

PS. Kevin Martin will return to the Kings on Friday. Can't wait to see what this team does with a healthy Martin and Tyreke Evan lighting it up.

[SammyG]

Kings will be a playoff team next year, if not this year. Tyreke is the fucking shit.

[Champion of Europa]

Woohoo! Pacers made another big comeback and beat the Suns!

I was court side for it, and it was insane.

Two games I've been to this week, two wins after coming back from 20+ point deficits.

[Champion of Europa]

I think our new strategy is to lure them to sleep with 23 or 24 point deficits, then STRIKE.

[SammyG]

Wednesday, the 27th, do that against the Lakers... at least the 24 point deficit thing, so the Lakers can win by 30. Although, the Lakers I think have one of their worst road percentages against Indiana in Indiana

[Champion of Europa]

I'm really rooting for an Indiana win. We've got Granger back and Dunleavy is getting back to where he was. I think we can do it, especially with how the Lakers luck has been recently.

[SammyG]

Pau comes back Friday. So I doubt it...

[SammyG]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG WHAT A FINISH IN UTAH!

[Juan]

A Cleveland loss is always welcome

[SammyG]

Hell yeah. Dude that signed a 10 day contract with them yesterday or whatever, hits the game winning 3 at the buzzer, with someone all up in his grill.

[Juan]

Sundiata Gaines for the win

[RP]

I'm really rooting for an Indiana win. We've got Granger back and Dunleavy is getting back to where he was. I think we can do it, especially with how the Lakers luck has been recently.

This will go one of two ways. 1) The Pacers will win the next 2 games, look like they might be making a run for a playoff spot and then lose the next 8 games, or 2) Maybe Granger and Dunleavy play like they did against the Suns ( like they have the potential to play ) and maybe Earl Watson ( as crazy as this sounds ) is a solid PG. And maybe O'Brien pulls his head out of his ass and realizes that we need to work the ball into Hibbert more and then focus on the outside shot.

That's alot of maybes.

Reguardless, we cant compete in the playoffs. I mean, Danny and Mike and Murphy need to be lights out in a 7 game series. I dont like O'Brien at all.

This season is shaping up like the past few seasons. 35-47 no playoffs and a shitty lottery pick.

Its a vicious cycle.

[RP]

But when Granger and Dunleavy play like they did against the Suns and Watson dishes 9 assist, Indiana is a tough out.

[RP]

I just read on Yahoo that the Timberwolves offered Al Jefferson for Danny Granger, but Bird declined.

Jefferson is a beast, but Granger is a gamebreaker. Wish we could give them TJ Ford for Jefferson . lol

[Champion of Europa]

I'd be excited as all get out if we traded TJ for anyone. I cant imagine anyone being as frustrating as TJ is to me.

[Gertner]

Jazz show bitch.

[RP]

Earl Watson might be a really good PG. He's playing outstanding.

[OssMan]

Like Sigfried and Roy
Abbot and Costello
Magic and Kareem or
Penn and Teller
Somebody's in trouble? Aw here it goes
On nick-nick-nick-nick-nick-nick-nick

[Juan]

lol Lakers beat the Clippers by 40 points and were up by as many as 46. It was a pretty entertaining game up until the 3rd quarter.

[RP]

If the pacers can get there confidence going and Murphy, Granger and Dunleavy play like they've played the last 3, maybe. But i'm not biting yet. Win 6 in a row. Then i'll bite.

[Juan]

[Skippord]

Baron Davis should have punched Kobe in his face

[RP]

First of all, Fisher fouled him like 3 times in that play. Second, lol at Davis crazy eyes and armpit stench

[OssMan]

Do you pronounce Baron like it should be pronounced "Baron," or is it some black way LaRon Landry style like BaRon Davis

[Juan]

Do you pronounce Baron like it should be pronounced "Baron," or is it some black way LaRon Landry style like BaRon Davis

The announcers pronounce his name in the first 2 seconds of that video

[Juan]

First of all, Fisher fouled him like 3 times in that play. Second, lol at Davis crazy eyes and armpit stench

It's part of the conspiracy, masterminded by David Stern, to get the Lakers back in the Finals, bro. I mean, why else would the referee that's standing 2 feet away not call a foul on Fisher on that play?

[RP]

...

You're stupid.

[Brujesino]

that elbow is way over hyped

i mean ya most likely he did it on purpose but goddamn there acting like pau fell and damn near died

[Juan]

Bottom line, overacting or not (something every NBA player is guilty of doing at one point in their career), it was a flagrant foul.

[RP]

HE WAS FOULED 3 FUCKING TIMES IN THAT PLAY YOU DUMB ASS

[Juan]

lol calm down guy. I just don't see it and neither did the ref, so fuck you.

[RP]

wow someone is on the defensive.

[Juan]

yeah, you got me

[Champion of Europa]

Yeah, I'm really hoping the Pacers can stay healthy and finally make a decision with their starting lineup. We've changed it so many times this season it's a wonder we've found any cohesion.

I've been happy with Watson, and I'm really impressed with how we've played the last three games. I'm hoping for a big win against New Orleans tomorrow.

[RP]

Dont get sucked in bro.

Wait it out.

[Juan]

[Buzzkill]

LOL that is absolutely retarded.

Also Blazers stomp Magic without Roy or half of their bench and no centers :cool:

[DaveWadding]

damn Jamal Crawford.

[SammyG]

hilarious

[Champion of Europa]

Dont get sucked in bro.

Wait it out.

I know not to get my hopes up, but I can't help it. I want to believe :(

[Champion of Europa]

We got beat, but it wasnt by much. Those kinda nights will happen.

[SammyG]

Finals rematch tomorrow.

[SammyG]

SHANNON BROWN IN THE DUNK CONTEST!

warriors seriously cant be charging fans to see guys like Cartier Martin, Anthony Tolliver, Chris Hunter etc.

theyve traded or got rid of jason richardson, baron davis, stephen jackson, al harrington and are fielding a team with D-leaguers and corey maggette. im about done with the warriors.

[SammyG]

shannon was amazing tonight.

[SammyG]

Damn, Indy got pwned tonight.

Maybe I'm not in the condition to watch an embedded high definition youtube video right now JUAN

[Juan]

Another L for Boston :cool:

*Hopefully* this will also be the case for Cleveland tomorrow

[SammyG]

<3 yes

[Champion of Europa]

I'm really hoping for a road win against the Pistons. I think we can do it. We can't seem to get our shit together, but I didn't expect it. I hoped for it, but didn't expect it.

[Juan]

God dammit. I think Pau just cost the Lakers the win, or at least the chance to tie :mad: :mad:

[Buzzkill]

LEBROOOOOOOOOOOOON

[DaveWadding]

http://www.heykobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/lebron.jpg

WE ARE ALL WITNESSES

[Juan]

I guess I kinda get it now when people call Kobe arrogant. I wanted to slap the shit out of Lebron when he was rapping along to an Eminem song during the last timeout.

[SammyG]

Haha, I loved that part, I was rapping along with him.

[Juan]

It's official. Worst Lakers fan ever. You've got to be kidding me

[Icess]

We did see you call him Paul before the edit...

Are we sure we're playing the Knicks tonight? Cause we are playing shit ball.

So much for closing out the three. Best in the league my ass.

[Juan]

Well, the Lakers are up, that's all I really care about. I don't care if it's ugly, a W is a W.

[Icess]

That I'll agree with, but not the way I want to start this road trip

[Juan]

oh and of course ANOTHER scrub has a career night against the Lakers. David Lee had 31 points and 17 rebounds. Who the fuck is David Lee???

[Team Sheep]

I just got a ticket to Phoenix Suns vs New York Knicks on March 26th. Don't follow NBA at all, should this be a decent game? What's the Suns home following like? Judging by ticket prices I'd say pretty good?

[Juan]

Expect a final score of 133-122 or something. It's gonna be an all offense game

[Brujesino]

oh and of course ANOTHER scrub has a career night against the Lakers. David Lee had 31 points and 17 rebounds. Who the fuck is David Lee???

a scrub? david lee?

hes no dominate center or power forward but a scrub he is not his rebound total doesnt surprise me at all

the fact that he scored 31 is good for him hes averagin around 17 ppg

[Juan]

Well on a team full of scrubs, the best scrub will always shine.

[Brujesino]

01/18/2010 Ronny Turiaf (F) Ankle (Day-to-Day)

add monta ellis to the list..sprained right ankle(not the surgically repaired one)

we wont play against the suns on tommorow and who knows how much longer he will be out the only point gaurd we have now is curry

[Juan]

We did see you call him Paul before the edit...

I have an excuse. I was drunk

[Juan]

I'll give Lee credit though, he played well. I'm just mad the Lakers didn't capitalize on their height advantage better.

[SammyG]

lol @ you calling David Lee a scrub. Dude is a straight baller. Also, if you're honestly offended by LeBron rapping along to a song, you're too personally invested in that shit. It was funny.

[Brujesino]

Well on a team full of scrubs, the best scrub will always shine.

tony douglas is not a scrub he is a sollid prospect with a solid future

al harrington is easily a good #3 option for any contender or a great 6th man

nate robinson is so much of a scrub that the lakers have been looking to land him since last year right?

jared jeffries dispite people wanting him traded its more becuase of cap space not because hes a scrub hes solid defensively

[SammyG]

I like LeBron a little more now.

[Brujesino]

what people should be mad about is why the hell does the camera guy even have the camera on him the whole time?

there is a crowd out that cherring take a shot of them

I love it.

[SammyG]

That is one of the best Em verses I think I've ever heard.

[Juan]

lol @ you calling David Lee a scrub. Dude is a straight baller. Also, if you're honestly offended by LeBron rapping along to a song, you're too personally invested in that shit. It was funny.

Didn't you just call Ron Artest a scrub the other day?

Anywho, I guess I just have a greater sense of pride when it comes to the Lakers than you. I don't know how you can be a Lakers fan and not be the least bit bothered by Lebron James basically mocking our entire team.

[Juan]

tony douglas is not a scrub he is a sollid prospect with a solid future

al harrington is easily a good #3 option for any contender or a great 6th man

nate robinson is so much of a scrub that the lakers have been looking to land him since last year right?

jared jeffries dispite people wanting him traded its more becuase of cap space not because hes a scrub hes solid defensively

Meh, I use the term scrub because I have no idea who half of these guys are, not because they're bad basketball players.

[Juan]

There are other Lakers fans saying that what Lebron did was classless. I personally wouldn't go as far as to say that, but I also can't say that it didn't bother me.

[Champion of Europa]

You were bothered by a man enjoying a song?

I'm so confused by why this is an issue.

[Juan]

It's not an "issue" at all tbh. Just something that bothered me. No big deal

[SammyG]

Didn't you just call Ron Artest a scrub the other day?

Anywho, I guess I just have a greater sense of pride when it comes to the Lakers than you. I don't know how you can be a Lakers fan and not be the least bit bothered by Lebron James basically mocking our entire team.
That's because Ron Artest is playing like a scrub

[Buzzkill]

That is one of the best Em verses I think I've ever heard.
He's definitely bringin it back. His verse on Lil Wayne's Drop the World is ridiculous

[Big Fat Mike]

The Knicks stink :(

[SammyG]

lol @ losing to the Raptors

[OssMan]

You cannot unsee what you are about to see

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, what the fucccckk Oden. Why would he post this.

Also woo, beat DEM WIZARDS. k wtff oden, still.

[OssMan]

congrats on beating the wizards

[Buzzkill]

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, what the fucccckk Oden. Why would he post this.

Also woo, beat DEM WIZARDS. k wtff oden, still.Someone posted them on the net.

Guy can't catch a break. Holy shit though, all things considered, it could have been way worse

[Skippord]

dude tore his acl taking that picture

[SammyG]

lol @ me thinking we might lose in Indy

[Juan]

RP's gonna be pissed. I bet he calls Kobe a rapist for good measure.

[SammyG]

Kobe is cheering for the Colts

[RP]

I dont think i've ever seen a coach as dumb as Jim Obrien. Honestly. He's the most retarded coach in the league. He starts this game with Troy Murphy playing center and Granger playing PF against one of the best front lines in the league, Bynum, Gasol, Odom. ANd what happens? Bynum dominated. ANd what did Obrien do? He let it continue for like 6 minutes.

FIRE THIS FUCKING RETARD ALREADY!

You know what. Fire Bird too. Larry Bird is a fucking horrible GM. What a fucking tool he is for letting this shit happen.

[Buzzkill]

If Larry Bird weren't Larry Bird he would have been fired 9 times already

[SammyG]

lol RP, it's ok to lose to the Lakers dude, most teams do. Indiana ain't that bad.

[Champion of Europa]

I'm an Indiana optimist and I, too, hate Jim O'Brien.

[SammyG]

Wooooooooooo Gasol made the all star game. Suck on that Kaman! Sucks for Drew though that he didn't make it. Oh well, should light a fire under his ass.

[RP]

I'm an Indiana optimist and I, too, hate Jim O'Brien.

Dude, he's doing shit that makes no sense right now. Roy Hibbert is ready to be dominant right now. Seriously, i think HIbbert could be the best center in the game. He has the tools. And this stupid coach has no clue what to do with him. Obrien rather watch the team shoot 40 3's a night.

[RP]

I hate saying this, but Rondo should get some MVP consideration, because he's doing everything for Boston. The rest of the Boston team looks and plays like they're 80 years old. If they didnt have Rondo, i dont think they even make the playoffs.

[RP]

REDDICK!!!!!!!!!! TIES IT!

I remember arguing with someone ( i think The Miz ) that Reddick would be a good player in the NBA.

I'm one hundred percent in agreement on this. Hibbert has been doing great and it's his time to shine. But they'd rather stick Troy Murphy in there and brick 3's in transition.

[SammyG]

Best center in the game? slow down.

[OssMan]

fuck yeah beat the knicks

[SammyG]

Most excited I have been for a game all year... Fuck Boston.

[Juan]

FUCK YESSSS. FUCK BOSTON!!

[Emperor Smeat]

Celtics defense has been "lazy" for the past few weeks and its not just because of injuries. Celtics Post-game show basically said last few set of games team has just played to end the clock instead of locking down and preventing scores.

[SammyG]

What a fucking game. Fuck Boston. lol @ Kobe humming that Dropkick Murphy song after the game was over.

[Juan]

lol @ Jonathan Coachman and Bruce Bowen and his big ass bow tie on NBA Fastbreak

[RP]

seriously, if the Pacers can still get Al Jefferson for Granger, they need to do it now. Granger is not that good. He looks disinterested in playing. He rather stand around and catch and shoot 3's. His defense is declining. This guy should be taking it to the hoop and refuses. THey need to ship him now or this is gunna end badly. They can build something with Hibbert and Jefferson.

But Bird is too retarded to pull the trigger on this type of deal.

I'm sorry, 8 points last night Danny? You're not worth the money if thats the best you can do. Get out.

AND FOR FUCK SAKES WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FIRE JIM OBRIEN!

[SammyG]

pretty scared for tonight's game. Andrew Bynum always gets hurt against Memphis. Ugh.

[Juan]

Some celtics fans were complaining about that offensive foul on Paul Pierce in the closing minutes of the game yesterday, but they really have no room to complain...

[Juan]

The fucking Memphis fucking Grizzlies. wow

[SammyG]

Memphis is pretty legit, actually, dude. Anyway. Smart decision by Kobe to pass that off, Artest just missed the shot. Oh well, move on to the next one.

[Juan]

Who the fuck is Lester Hudson???

I wonder what the Lakers' record is when a player on the opposing team has a career night.

[Emperor Smeat]

Only player drafted by the Celtics in the last draft (1st round pick went to Minnesota for the KG trade in 07) and got cut early January this year.

[DaveWadding]

Suns are looking kinda ugly right now...hanging in there though. 2 games in the next 12 days. They can all use the rest.

[IC Champion]

poor Chauncey Billups

He has to be one of the most underrated players ever, despite being a Finals MVP.

[thecc]

lol, nets

[Champion of Europa]

Who would've thought that the Pacers win by double digits in a game where Jim O'Brien isn't coaching and Hibbert starts.

[RP]

They'll lose by double digits next game.

[IC Champion]

Raptors we're missing two of there starters, and both were wing players, it really hurt us. Pacers and Granger still suck.

[SammyG]

Lakers are playing Charlotte tonight. Mark that as an L. Haven't beaten Charlotte at home in like 3-5 years.

[IC Champion]

Charlotte plays some very very good defense, if that team could ever get a scorer they could be a serious contender.

[Buzzkill]

Don't they have Gerald Wallace? I'd probably call him a scorer

[Londoner]

Got the miami/boston game on tonight, is this a big game worth watching?

[Juan]

Got the miami/boston game on tonight, is this a big game worth watching?

Yes. Boston is coming off a disappointing loss to the Lakers and Miami is trying to climb the ranks of the Eastern Conference.

[Londoner]

Yes. Boston is coming off a disappointing loss to the Lakers and Miami is trying to climb the ranks of the Eastern Conference.

I'll watch it then, cheers. :cool:

[Juan]

Look for Boston to try to control the pace of the game. They're a bit older and I'm sure they don't want to get into a running game with Miami.

[McLegend]

That was a bad Sixers game tonight.

[Loose Cannon]

Yes. Boston is coming off a disappointing loss to the Lakers and Miami is trying to climb the ranks of the Eastern Conference.

lol thanks Jim Rome

[Juan]

Is that something he normally says?

[Loose Cannon]

god yea

[Juan]

Add Nazr Mohammed to the list of players who have had a career scoring night against the Lakers.

[SammyG]

Fuck, I'll take the W. First win at home against Charlotte in 5 years. Congratulations Phillllllllllllllllll

[IC Champion]

Don't they have Gerald Wallace? I'd probably call him a scorer

Gerald Wallace plays on a poor offensive team, I don't know if I'd call him a number one option.

[SammyG]

Huh? How does the fact that they aren't that good on offense not make him a number 1 option?

[IC Champion]

Huh? How does the fact that they aren't that good on offense not make him a number 1 option?

Because maybe if they had someone who could score, he wouldn't get as many looks and plays run for him.

[Gertner]

Fuck my Jazz are playing amazing lately. They are so good when they have their shit together and when shithead Boozer isn't in the line up fucking things up. 7 in a row!

[Droford]

Might have to watch the All Star game if they get 100,000 people for it.

Maybe somebody can bounce ball off the Super Obscenely Large and Expensive Jerrytron 5,000 for a dunk

[SammyG]

Shannon Brown is gonna tear the house down.

[Nervous Ferret]

The New Jersey Nets have 4 wins and 44 losses this season

[Droford]

The New Jersey Nets have 4 wins and 44 losses this season

I somehow think they'll manage to eek out 10 wins and keep the 72 Sixers legacy alive.

[IC Champion]

The New Jersey Nets have 4 wins and 44 losses this season

They lost to the raptors last night, and raptors were missing 3 starters and made no attempt to gaurd.

[Droford]

They still have the Wizards two more games, by that time Jamison and maybe Butler will be gone for draft picks probably..

[IC Champion]

Rumors that Josh Howard is heading to the raptors for Hedo Turkoglu and Jose Calderon.

[IC Champion]

Also heard Toronto is going after Kevin Martin.

[SammyG]

kobe might sit out tonight

[Skippord]

that would make it more fair

[SammyG]

Is Melo out?

[Juan]

Yeah, last I heard Melo was not playing tonight.

Pretty sure Kobe will play though. Maybe reduced minutes, but he'll be there I think.

[Skippord]

Joey Graham gonna dominate the Lakers

[Skippord]

also I got my tattoo at the same place Melo got one of his done

:cool:

[SammyG]

lol, wow, yep, Kobe to start tonight.

[Skippord]

Ronaldo Balkman to stomp on Kobe's ankle

[SammyG]

fuck the Thuggets.

[Skippord]

JR Smith could stab him

[Skippord]

http://glothelegend.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/jrs.jpg

[Juan]

I bet JR scores like 45 points tonight

[Buzzkill]

lol JR smith

[SammyG]

look at this faggot

Is that some kind of chipmunk throwing a temper tantrum?

[Juan]

a chipmunk with 4 championship rings

[Skippord]

why does he keep bumping his open mouth into that other mans shoulder?

fag

[DaveWadding]

a chipmunk with 4 championship rings

and 4 recorded championship rapes

[Juan]

Never gets old

[Skippord]

I'm reasonably confident that JR Smith can rape people as well as Kobe if not better

[Icess]

http://cdn.faniq.com/images/blog/d4a142867d6815e7bbb52a9baefc859a.jpg

look at this faggot

I'd do him....

Seriously, you're team is constructed of drug fiends and thugs. They have amazing talent that is generally overshadowed by the tendency to act retarded and speak out of turn. They are fun to watch, but they resort to playing dirty quite often, with J.R. standing out in that category.

Mocking the Lakers at this point is almost moot at this point. They have a phenomenal team, act accordingly, and in general act "more humble" than most teams. It's sad that rape jokes and "fierce face" are the best people have to offer.

[Skippord]

I'm aware that the Nuggets are a giant bunch of scumbags

[DaveWadding]

and in general act "more humble" than most teams. It's sad that rape jokes and "fierce face" are the best people have to offer.

:rofl: get Phil and Mamba's nuts out of your mouth.

[Skippord]

Kenyon Martin is going to score 60 tonight

[Icess]

I actually kinda feel bad. They're a really good team, that have amusing personalities, and can ball. It's just unfortunate when some of those true colors come out. I'd much rather watch the Nugs then 90% of the teams in the West, until JR dances up the court in that fashion (or Lebron raps on the sideline, ect.)

:rofl: get Phil and Mamba's nuts out of your mouth.

Stop pretending you don't want them in Phoenix

[Juan]

lol i love that whenever someone defends their team, they're accused of having their "nuts in your mouth"

You're not gonna win, Icess.

[Icess]

lol i love that whenever someone defends their team, they're accused of having their "nuts in your mouth"

You're not gonna win, Icess.

Believe me, I'm aware. Been down this road before.

Thing is I'd be euphoric if Nash was suddenly our PG. I can recognize talent before blind-"homer-ism".

[Skippord]

I don't really get the whole defending your team thing anyway

[Juan]

I don't really get the whole defending your team thing anyway

I don't do it often, because like Icess said, it's moot.

[Icess]

Within certain lengths, I can. The whole Brady or Manning argument, or who's defense is better, those I can see. I only bring up "thuggish" attitudes due to the fact that I was so disappointed in JR's behavior last year and it still resonates with me. The guy was a stud in the playoffs, would of had ehis pick of sponsorships, but his ego/behavior simply tainted his performance. For a team coached by a legend in Karl, it just seems like he's letting players coach HIS team.

[DaveWadding]

Stop pretending you don't want them in Phoenix

I don't. I would pick a different team before EVER rooting for a scumbag like Kobe or Phil's bullshit.

[Juan]

Does Phil's bullshit happen to include his 10 rings, best regular season winning percentage or most wins in playoffs history?

[Juan]

I bet this is probably the same thing Yankee fans go through.

[DaveWadding]

not to mention the fact that his shit is made of gold and his bags and bags and bags of quality weed.

[Juan]

Right

[Icess]

I don't. I would pick a different team before EVER rooting for a scumbag like Kobe or Phil's bullshit.

You have a player that has done everything to get the hell out of there, and now he says the only reason he's going to stay is because his option is for 17 mil. He said it like that, I'm not paraphrasing. Yeah, Kobe wanted out cause he didn't feel like they were surrounding him with enough talent, but he stuck to his guns till they got Gasol.

Saying you don't want HOF'ers on your roster is saying you don't want to win. And scumbag? Really? What have you done in your life to give you the ability to to use that statement. I am a scumbag, no qualms admitting that I have done things in life that could be considered morally wrong. Kobe put it in her butt, but dumps millions of dollars into charity, donates his time, and surprisingly enough (to those that have watch 90% of his games and a ton of interviews) supports his teammates.

I truly hope Nash wins one, as he's the best PG I've witnessed, but I suppose I'm also not blind and actually pay attention to the NBA.

Sorry Juan, felt the need/

[Icess]

I bet this is probably the same thing Yankee fans go through.

Yankees fans have to defend the lack of salary cap, seeing as their payroll is twice that of any other team in the past decade

[Icess]

NeNe's reverse was dirty

[DaveWadding]

You have a player that has done everything to get the hell out of there, and now he says the only reason he's going to stay is because his option is for 17 mil. He said it like that, I'm not paraphrasing.

And I've never really ever liked Amar'e and have criticized him for being a self-centered defensively lazy piece of shit. I will not defend him. He is a fucking bum.

[Skippord]

Nene should fight every other NBA player

I'm fairly confident he would win

[Icess]

Ok, I'm good with that. You don't support a player that acts like a douche. Stoude has done that for years, so I understand why you don't back him.

Now then, can we broach the Kobe subject?

I get it, you hate the Lakers. It's pretty easy. Juan even remarked that it's easily compared to the Yankees (I again would make the remark on the salary cap issue). What I don't get is this substandard hate. I couldn't stand the Bulls with Jordan, but I'd watch every game cause he was good. Like really, really good.

I was a Laker fan cause I played point, and Magic was sick. I was taught how to pass, how to rotate, how to play d. Jordan was "magic", yet Magic changed the look of that position (see what Lebron does, he's not the next Jordan, he is the next-albeit better-MAGIC). You implied that Kobe was a second-rate citizen, and even called him "scum". This I don't get. The guy goes out there and plays. I know people hate on him cause he tries too hard to be Jordan, or at one point he was a bit of a ball-hog (based a bit on surrounding talent), or even that he was cocky (want to start that arguement? Talk to Lebron supporters that backed him 2 years ago, cause he's an ass nowadays. Or any other given superstar. Not that I blame any of them, but I hope they'll get "it"). Your beef with Kobe is surreal, but when you add Phil it's like a Sci-Fi novel.

In short, while trying to not be a troll, but actually are. Skip can see his team for what it is, which has every opourtunity to go the distance. As do the Suns in fact. The issue is that you attempt to discredit Hall OF Famers. It's somewhat pointless.

Probably should just say:

"Nash had 74 assists last night. Amare was sick in the paint. Pretty happy on double-teaming 24 last night. Bynum has 325 boards, and Gasol laughed at Barbosa. In the end, good game. Kobe pulled up for the last jumper, but it's all good. We held him to 78 (so at least we're better than the Knicks lol). A loss is a loss, but maybe we kick Horry in the balls come playoffs."

[DaveWadding]

tl;dr

[Skippord]

getting pretty god damn sick of Pau Gasol

[Icess]

tl;dr
Yeah that whole reading thing defeats the purpose of the internet. I mean there's always the alternative in porn.. AM I RITE? Also, had to look up your acronym, which I figure you are not only a troll, but an actual nerd. My pokemon collection is complete.

Another note....

I really like Nene. He may not always get the numbers, but he really is a solid big man in the West. And that actually says something.

[DaveWadding]

dude, seriously. are you on drugs or something?

[Icess]

yes. nxt

[thecc]

sports are serious business

[Icess]

I know its pbp, but...

Birdman who??? Banked it

[Juan]

wtf Chauncey Billups

[Icess]

Not the best quarter.

Lil shocked Dave resorted to "reppin". It's ok, the Suns will eventually move to Knoxville, and find a real fanbase.

[DaveWadding]

you took the shit outside the thread bro. I wouldn't but you did it to yourself.

[Juan]

Shit's over. Another player has a career night against the Lakers and another loss.

[Icess]

It was somewhat relevant/funny in context. I actually root for the cubbies, but I understand the dilemma.

We might lose tonight, so you can get your kicks in.

[Icess]

People gonna really push for Heinrich/trade after this loss.

Grats Skipp

[Juan]

I turned off the game with about 8 mins left in the game.

[Icess]

Might want to tune back. Prolly won't win, but cut the lead

Scratch that-------

Scratch....um... in?

[Juan]

Nah, you can tell in the Lakers' demeanor when they've thrown in the towel. I could tell the game was over 4 mins into the 4th quarter.

[Juan]

Down 9 with 3 and half mins left. They might cut the lead, but the fat lady has sung.

[Icess]

I'm really hurtin over Sasha. I really had high hopes. He's missed 3 3's in a row, and they weren't defended.

[Icess]

Wow... All I can say.

Chauncey is sic

Oh, yeah and JR is deadly. And I'm pretty sure Carmello had about 30 while sitting on the bench.

Ouch

[Juan]

Lakers have lost twice to Cleveland and twice to Denver. Not good.

[DaveWadding]

I love you Juan. :love:

[Brujesino]

thats good news this decade might start off with something new and fresh

[Icess]

It's not just this decade. Lakers/Celts have more than half the titles.

Don't look past the Spurs

[Skippord]

JR Smith should probably never be interviewed again

[Icess]

Missed it...

How bad?

[Skippord]

nothing too bad, he's just pretty incoherent

better than Birdman but not by much

[Icess]

His game spoke enough tonight, so an interview accounts for.... well, shit.

I'll be shocked if we don't have a repeat on the WCF
