NBA 2008-2009 Season Thread
 

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.

I'm so glad basketball is back btw :D

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

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

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?

Jazz 99 Lakers 90. Hand these guys the title.

.... preseason :)

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.

Bynum looked pretty good against utah

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

:kiss:

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

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

Shut up Gertner :mad:

Clippers are going down tonight, btw.

Dammit, looks like 0-2 after all.

lol @ preseason

Suns 96
Jazz 89

This means:

Suns > Jazz > Lakers

Thank you.

PS: CLIPPPPPPP SHOWWWWWWW

lol dave

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

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.

Yup

Some good plays by Ariza last night imo

shut yo traps

preseason is lame scrub playing time

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

Lakers are probably gonna struggle to make 8th.

Exactly my point, Krispy.

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

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

Yeah the same Hornets that STFU..

:foc:

lolllllllllll

It's funny cause it's true..

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..

Yea, dude is a baller.

Also, when the hell did PHX pick up Barnes?

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

Gotta win this.

lol what McLegend?

How the hell did I do that?

The young guys looked good tonight against the Kings.

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

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

Clearly.

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.

Patriots of the NBA..

Not bad for a small market. :cool:

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

Lakers play Regal FC Barcelona tomorrow

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.

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

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.

lol Shaq is a joke now.

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

Is it opening day yet :(

I wish

I'm looking forward to the game against Portland.

Nash sprainks ankle

woo

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

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

you fucken kidding me? bah, well 107- 101 with 13 seconds left now...

Lakers win 108-104 :cool:

good good

No tacos though

DJ Mbenga will ensure tacos for everyone.

lol

Kinda concerned with Bynum's contract status.

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.

Lakers/Barcelona highlights

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

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.

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

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

hyperextended :(

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.

That is why you dont make fun of injuries.

Karma.

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

Kobe Bryant out for the season with torn ACL

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

nah kidding. Wanting to see if SammyG kills himself

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

Gotta stay tuned.

You had me worried there for a second :mad:

Holla

Lakers/Bobcats Highlights + Kobe Injury

told ya guys, he's ight

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

I don't think Kobe is playing tonight.

Yeah, he's not playing.

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

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