Official NBA thread

[Manny Goes Boom]

I thought this was needed since premiere week is over, and it's dumb to keep posting in there.

[Moose]

Yeah, I should've entitled my thread to "Official NBA Thread" in the first place. It's just too bad, I can't edit the title anymore.

A few games on the slate tonight...

 

Cleveland @ Toronto 7:00 EST

New Jersey @ Miami 7:30 EST

Utah @ Charlotte 7:30 EST

L.A. Clippers @ Minnesota 8:00 EST

San Antonio @ Chicago 8:30 EST

 

Not a bad bunch of games, the Nets Heat game will be exciting and could possibly be a playoff matchup to decide the East later down the road, if Shaq returns healthy and plays the rest of the season injury free. The Clippers game should be a dandy with Good Ol' Sam Cassell coming to the Target Center as a Clipper, not a Timberwolf. Should be fun to hear his ovation. And should be a pretty good game too. Oh, and go Bulls. Anyone playing the Spurs are my friends for that night.

is shaq still injured?

[Moose]

Yes, he is. You miss him, don't you?

[liveordie1011]

no we have kobe and smush parker...

[Manny Goes Boom]

is shaq still injured?

 

Shaqs out for 2-4 weeks. Sprained ankle, it looked real bad in slow-mo and with that weight, his down time could lean more towards 4 weeks. And he left the arena Thursday night on crutches. So its not looking good for the Heat in the next month or so

[liveordie1011]

the clippers will be god this year but they will never win anythin even with mobley n the alien freak

[Moose]

Sam Cassell > Smush (God, that name is cool) Parker

Cuttino Mobley

Corey Maggette > Lamar Odom

Elton Brand > Kwame Brown

Chris Kaman > (slightly) Chris Mihm

 

Yup. Go Clippers.

Ok, dude. Whatthef***ingever.

Kobe's nice but as last year proved, he needs help and Phil Jackson can't suit up for the Lakers, so IMO the Lakers will be riding backseat to the Clippers for at LEAST one more year.

[liveordie1011]

well clippers are good but dont act up just 3 games to the season, 79 more games remaining n the timberwolves will come with a revenge on there head tonight

I'm not overhyping. And I know it's just 3 games. But my God, shut the f*** up, Laker fan.

yea think that kobe needed help last year n kobe got help

[liveordie1011]

i dont think lakers will make the championship but ik it iwll be the spurs as much as i hate them there are to dam good to be defeated

[Moose]

Yes, the Spurs are the goddamn favorites again to win the Finals.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Who? Besides Phil Jackson? Who will help some (4-7 more wins) but not tremendously.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Yes, the Spurs are the goddamn favorites again to win the Finals.

 

Spurs got deeper with Finley and Nick Van Exel, like they needed it though.

haha i can agree with the sam cassel and elton brand, and kobe bryant, and chris Kaman. But dide Corey Maggette better than Odom? I do not see it. It must be because im blind or something, but i know Lamar odom is better than Maggette. we all have out Opinions though.

My bad. I should've put = instead. But in terms of production, they're totally different. Odom is a SF/PF. C. Magg is a SG/SF. Odom can score 15-17 points a night. He can grab 10 rebounds a night. Maggette can score 20 points and slow down the game by taking tons of free throws.

[podsednik20]

well the heat and the Nets game pretty close, but Heat won. and then most of the games were pretty close except for the Clipper game.

[Moose]

Cat just flat out sucked tonight. 0-6 in 3's? You've gotta be f***ing kidding me. Sam is awesome, but I wish he was younger so he could play 40 minutes a game. Can't wait to see Maggette back. AND Livingston.

[podsednik20]

yeah well, you cant expect them to win every game.

[Moose]

I know I can't. I'm just doing a little "analysis" of the game.

[podsednik20]

oh i see, lol. Sam Cassell is still good no matter how old he is. same with Payton except he just does'nt do the same as he did when he was younger.

[MC Hammer]

Has Odom every had a double double night? He has all the potential in the world, but he's so far from the player he should be on the court. I don't think it matters what style of the position they play. Maggs is without a doubt the better player.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Man Vince's dunk was NASTY last night. Mourning was absolutely posterized in every sense of the word by Vince and that dunk will be on many walls very soon.

[podsednik20]

ehh i twas okay, but i dont think he could have done that too Shaw, or Yao.

[podsednik20]

gah i cant friggen spell Shaq*
