NBA 2007-2008 Season Thread
 

Preseason has started, might as well start this thread.

YEAH KNICKS!!!!!!!

If the Lakers stay healthy I can see us winning 50 games.

I was playing NBA 2k8 against Dave. He was the Suns, I was the Sixers. I absolutely dominated with this one big white guy.

Remember the name: Jason Smith

Jarvaris Crittenton is ridiculously good. Rookie up in this bitch.

Cant wait till the season starts in a couple weeks

OMG, Agent 0 said he would love to play for the Lakers next year. omggg if it happens.

WHAT THE FUCK. A report says the Lakers have requested Ben Gordon, Nocioni, Thomas, and Noah. Possibly a 1st round draft pick too. For Kobe. COME ON NOW ARE U SERIOUS. pritty scared right now.

The would be the worst move for the Bulls right now. All that rebuilding for nothing.

I really hope the Lakers suck so SammyG can completely write them off like he does with the Rams then post "LOL Lakers" like 300 times in this thread over the course of the season

Good move for the Lakers, although at this point of the year there is no way a trade like that would go through. It would probably be worse off for the Bulls anyway, in terms of depth and losing Thomas, but they'd have a lineup of:

Hinrich
Kobe
Deng
Brown
Wallace

Most likely, which would be sick.

Who should I draft for fantasy?

BARON DAVIS

As long as his knees don't fall off.

OMFG, in the last 2 hours there's been 2 updates outta LA. First one said Kobe cleared out his locker, his agent was talking with Buss and Kupchak. Last one came out a bit ago, saying all of this is false and Kobe wants to be a Laker, as long as management lets him. I AM DYING HERE, COME ONNN.

FUCK. Kobes gonna get traded I can't believe this. lol whatever though the Lakers aren't gonna be that good either way I guess. BUT FUCK. Kobe is good though. You know? COME ON

I hope Indiana trades all there black players accept Granger.

^ And Diogu :mad:

''Id immedately give up Lebron James for Kobe Bryant if I was the Cavs'' Skip Bayless

I would give up Kobe for Lebron too. Too bad the Cavs aren't retarded and would never do that deal.

Dear NBA God,

Please advise the Lakers that they should trade Kobe Bryant for Jermain O'Neil, Jamal Tinsley, Marquis Daniels, Troy Murphy, David Harrison, Shawne Williams and Larry Bird.

YEAH WIZARDS, probably gonna get swept by the LeBrons again in the playoffs.

Danny Granger.

I would give up Gordon, Nocioni and Noah, but keep Thomas because Brown is old. Pretty fair deal.

Nocioni can't be dealt until after Dec 15th. Kobe will be a Laker this year. If we suck, he will get dealt by the deadline, however.

lol I missed the Wade/Barkley commercials. Lakers dont look too bad so far.

cmon season

hurrrrrrrrrrry

Bynum is tearing shit up in preseason. He has imporved. A LOT.

Not really. He is playing with rookies who are trying to get a spot on a team and his hands are still buttery.

Um, did you WATCH that Lakers Sonics game? Bynum has amazing hands, Kwame is the one with the buttery ones.

I actually did see it.

It still doesnt make him a good player playing against rookies.

lol @ him trying to catch the ball and it smacks off him and almost goes out of bounds but it bounces into a teammate who saves it

Well. That didn't take long.

Allen Houston ends his comeback run with the Knicks.

NBA has found something like 6 more refs that were involved in gambling..

Where you hear that? If thats true, that could destroy the NBA.

ESPN, this mourning..

not seeing it on the website

Yeah, I can't find it anywhere online either.. They said it on SportsCenter but it might have been that there are 6 ref under invesatigation or something.. Watch SportsCenter at 9 am CST and I'm sure they'll mention it..

Sports Reporters is on next. I dont doubt you, but even an investigation would be a huge story to ESPN. Shocked it isnt on the website.

I agree..

:dunno:

Yeah, I saw what KrisP is talking about as well. I heard it on the radio. Also, lol @ how much the NBA loves Lebron, or how blind the refs are. My grandmother could tell this is a travel.

Antoine Walker heading up north to play with the T-Wolves this year for Ricky Davis...I guess the Heat really wanted to get rid of Walker, doubt Davis will play much.

Davis will be a scoring option besides Wade and Shaq though.

Yeah I guess Riley and Walker really hated eachother.

Whoooaaaa, rumor: Kobe to Detroit, for Hamilton, Prince, Amir Johnson. I would do that trade in a heartbeat.

Not to sound like a dick here, but Walker wasn't?

Walker plays like he thinks he is one of the best players in the league, and he's really not. Stima, pick up the new Slam, interesting KG interview in there.

Davis is probably the more effective player at this point, especially on a team like the Miami.

Breaking News






























































Jermaine O'neal has a knee injury

you scared the shit outta me, fuck.

Actually fuck it, trade Kobe. He is a little bitch. He's not trying at all during practice, and didnt show any heart in the preseason games. It's like he just doesnt give a fuck, and it's hurting the team. Rockets-Lake Show tonight!

My NBA Finals pick is...


Houston vs Chicago


Celts dont make it out of the first round

Yao Ming will be MVP

Lebron has a season ending injury midway through

Sheed meltsdown early and gets traded for money

Kevin Durant plays 50 games or less this season

Indiana gets the overall 1st selection in the draft and trades it to the Atlanta Hawks for Josh Smith and Tyron Lue.

He'll probably put 60 points on the board tonight.

Here are my predictions for this NBA Season:

Atlantic:
1. New Jersey
2. Boston
3. Toronto
4. Philadelphia
5. New York

Central:
1. Cleveland
2. Chicago
3. Detroit
4. Milwaukee
5. Indiana

Southeast:
1. Washington
2. Miami
3. Orlando
4. Atlanta
5. Charlotte

Northwest:
1. Denver
2. Utah
3. Portland
4. Seattle
5. Minnesota

Southwest:
1. San Antonio
2. Dallas
3. Houston
4. Memphis
5. New Orleans

Pacific:
1. Phoenix
2. Lakers
3. Warriors
4. Clippers
5. Kings



oh , and I guess Lamar Odom got into a car accident last night. hm.

Durant is gonna average about 19, lead the league in turnovers, and be rookie of the year.

Yi Jianlian will be hurt 10 games into the year.

Al Horford will average 10 boards a game.

Mike Conley will average about 8 assists a game.

And that's my predictions for the rookie class.

You're just realzing now that Kobe is a bitch?

... 10 mins awayyyy

Trade Kobe to Miami for Shaq

Kobe is fucking terrible. I dont care about his wrist. fuck him. trade him.

0-1.

I naturally assume that the Spurs were being whiny vaginas all game

Wow Skip to my Lou gets a lot of PT for the Rockets eh?

uh what

lol

He almost won the game.

Stop overreacting.

Not really. You coudn't hear them since they were in the penalty box for roughing most of the game.

Jesus that was such an insane game. :(

Fuck that shit. FUCK, still so mad about that loss.

ROFL Come on man, its Opening Night...relax

Yeah, it's just the way it happenned. Typical Lakers. Make a huge comeback in the end, only to get fucked in the last seconds.

1-0 baby

The only time this year we will be tied for best record in the league.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Spurs are already 2 - 0.

The First round of the playoffs last year

You cant call someone else's team whiny when the Nuggets with Iverson and Anthony have to be some of the biggest whiners out there.

You win this round

Only because Tim Donughy was reffing between you two.

I am so glad the NBA is back.

Me too.

Denver totally destroyed Durant and the Sonics. This could be Denver's year to make it out of the first round of the playoffs judging by their first game.

We'll see though.

The Sonics are terrible though.

Hence the we will see.

:P

I want to see what Denver can do with a good defensive club with offensive power.

ie not Houston

Lakers Suns ESPN tommorrow. We get SO much TV coverage, I love it.

I get to see all the Spurs games here regardless of national coverage.

So I love it?

So many empty seats in Key Arena :(

Penny Hardaway's Press Conference Ruined By Sass-Talking Doll

lol Mcgrady with 47.

Pretty good game on TNT rite now

hopefully they dont play the Spurs this year

I have a feeling Denver could make it to the 5th of 6th seed.

They would probably face Houston.

This is for Sammy G and his momma.

:wave:

See ya tonight. Even without Odom, I think we can beat you bitches.

WOOOWWWWWWw

Can we get a tissue to wipe off the Boston Celtic's jizz off of Bill Walton's face. My god.

lol I know

2-0 :eek:

And both teams were playoff teams.

Now watch them lose to Memphis or Portland.

LMFAO @ ESPN showing Garnett say mother fucker 3 times in a row

and then the announcers acknowledging it.

Come to San Antonio Kobe.

We will trade Beno Udrih who we traded a couple of days ago.

OMMGGGGGGGGGG Seriously freaking out here. Up by 19 in the 3rd. OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG. We are playing SUCH AMAZING BASKETBALL.

Also, Suns are missing alot of shots they normally make.

oh my god, give us some credit. We are up 28 fucking points in the 4th, against the Phoenix Suns. Everyone is stepping up for the Lakers, we are playing great defense too. This is an incredible game for the Lakers. Suck it Wadding, woooooooooooo

:o

But really, the Suns aren't making easy, wide open shots. And a bit sagging on D.

Also, too much Skinner. :?:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Lakers! And FUCK Diantoni's bitch ass, complaining about Phil calling a timeout when he's up by like 25. It's a young team in there, he wanted to tell em to not slack on defense and shit. D'antoni is like, Yeah, THANKS PHIL, We play you 3 more times this year. Fuck Phoenix. Fuck the Suns. Suck it.
