Brandon Jennings Punched by The Game, Your Official 2013/14 NBA Thread

[Trotskilicious]

because jerry buss is dead isn't he

[Trotskilicious]

i guess we may as well start talking about d rose the man that was, now

is he this generation's grant hill? that would be just as sad as grant hill

[Elvis The Fat Years]

hill, penny, staudemire, rose... it's sad.

so kobe is saying just give me the money i don't want anyone else around me to try to make a final run at a ring. not that he would pass to them anyway.

[Elvis The Fat Years]

i hate sports radio. people are calling in saying they should've been tanking the season BEFORE rose went down because they don't have enough to beat miami. wtf.

i guess the bulls should've tanked with jordan back in the day because they didn't have enough to beat the bad boys.

[Trotskilicious]

eventually d wade is going to be all gimpy and chris bosh is not that good. honestly if lebron was hurt this team would be so horrible

it's not like they are the second coming of christ ascendant

they've been in a lot of game 7s that could have tipped another way if d wade was gimpy and lebron's strange, periodic lapses in urgency doomed them instead of wade being a distraction and then lebron just going oh yeah i'm supposed to take this over now is that okay am i still playing "team" basketball

their bench is sad other than allen and i guess birdman if you have to but michael beasely and greg oden are funny like rashad lewis funny

roger mason jr couldn't hack it for the spurs years ago
shane battier is old
joel anthony and james jones are still on the roster

corris nole is oaky for a young scrub and i will tip my hat to battier & haslem's playoff vetereness


besides bron bron this team is gawrbage, and i mean that with extra awr

isaiah thomas and nate robinson are my favorite players
late round short guys that tear it up off the bench are the best genre of nba athlete

when wade isn't gimpy he's probably still the best shooting guard in the league though considering kobe's injury and the fact that james harden regularly literally does not play defense

Good work okc on taking down tha evil empire

[Trotskilicious]

i really wouldn't go so far as to say harden doesn't play defense

it's not good, but he's not abjectly terrible

[Trotskilicious]

the eastern conference standings really draw attention to just how many teams believe tanking is a real strategy. it's almost like everyone gave up and decided nobody's ever beating miami or indiana. granted, chicago was supposed to be in that convo but bad luck struck them down

[I'm Hardcore]

if you had have told me that Portland would have a better record than Miami at the start of february, i'd have sucked you off in the street.

[Trotskilicious]

i think the wiz at this point are what portland was last year, a good core dragged down by a sorry bench

[I'm Hardcore]

yeah imagine being a Wizards fan....can beat anybody at home. They go where John Wall takes them, but i hope he and Beal can fulfil their potential as being the best 1-2 combo in the league

[Trotskilicious]

there's some exciting things happening when that full unit is on the court

wall, gortat, beal, nene, all very solid. ariza has been playing well. webster has a great shot now. booker is a solid bench big.

after that it's all fucking junk and the decaying corpse of al harrington

[Trotskilicious]

i think the wiz might be my eastern conference pet team

[I'm Hardcore]

Gortat is doing exactly what they wanted him to, i dunno if trading for Monroe would be such a great idea

[Trotskilicious]

jesus a gortat, monroe, nene, booker rotation would be just fucking brutal

[Trotskilicious]

detroit is retarded if they trade moose, straight up mouth-breathing retarded

it was retarded enough to sign josh smith and have him play SF

at some point they have to fire dumars, this is an embarassing mess. are you really telling me brandon jennings is an upgrade on brandon knight? what a bunch of fuckin losers.

[Trotskilicious]

also is this draft class horrible or what good god

is anyone good comin out of it? bennet sucks, porter sucks, caldwell-pope sucks, zeller lost his job to McBob, i mean the list goes on

[I'm Hardcore]

Oladipo looks good imo, although he is realising how tough it is to be a night-after-night star in this league

[I'm Hardcore]

no kidding! just like Toronto were retarded for even thinking about trading Lowry.

i mean i know the dude does this every year (runs hot and cold), but with DeRozan i see the potential of a Wall-Beal duo for the Raptors

[Trotskilicious]

oh yeah there you go and oh fuck how could I forget carter-williams

i know the team sucks and they got hot early but he's still a keeper i think

[I'm Hardcore]

of course he's a keeper. if the Sixers keep him, Turner, Thad Young and Hawes, with Nerlens coming back, that's the makings of a very decent team imo

[Trotskilicious]

yeah i like hawes he's a fun stretch big but honestly his defense is too poor to be a starting C

he could play PF but mr. young is doper than shit

but still that leaves him with a role on the sixers, the 7 foot 6th man rotating in for nerlens and young as needed.

[Trotskilicious]

but nerlens could suck a bunch we don't know yet, we were just talking about how bad these top picks were outside of oliadpo and carter-williams...and we're still talking about someone who's going to be a solid role player and a defense point

mclemore is fuckin horrible. him and Thornton are actively torpedoing boogie's monster season and gay's renaissance. they get shit tons of minutes and they're fucking horrible.

[I'm Hardcore]

yes this is why Nerlens could/will be good for them, the guy plays solid D. granted he may turn out to be average, but i've seen enough of him to think otherwise.

[I'm Hardcore]

ahhh the Kings....pretty much the very same problems as suffered by the Sixers. DeMarcus has rapidly become my favourite player in the league.

[Trotskilicious]

boogie is the shit

i think he's going to eat dwight up like a Christmas ham

[Trotskilicious]

McLemore & Thorton's efficiency and usage rate is embarrassing.
