NBA THREAD: Toilet Fleet Jr 2013!!

[Zerohero]

I know there would be teams that would like to have LeBron's talents, but I think Miami has realized just what a fucking disaster this is turning out to be. Now they've paid 3 players so much money that no one will even entertain trade talks, especially with the 2011 free agent class being full of talent. Why take LeBron and his attitude when you can have Carmelo who seems like he legitimately WANTS to win a title.....

wait... carmelo iwants a title? He's leaving one of the leagues "good" teams. I don't really get what he's after. A better Knicks still aren't that great.

Anyway, yeah the disaster beyond james own goofus/quitterness is blowing all the dough on 3 guys that way. The only reason bosh fits is he was crony-fishing bait to get james to sign. If these guys weren't sniffing each others jocks, you'd spend that loot a little differently if you wanted to create a dominant powerhouse. As pussy as bosh is, I can see Wade + Bosh + james salary to spend on big mens and real point guards + depth as being a much more prudent plan.

can Cleveland beat Miami? or is hoping for an upset and a little humiliation completely futile?

depends on cavs hitting shots.... they run not so much hot and cold but lukewarm and cold so far. It's still a deep bench, but they lack a star scorer which most teams have. When they run cold, seems even layups and pooter shots in the paint won't fall.

If they are cold, nope nadda chance, but if they stop missing shots it's far from impossible. This years Cavs are good enough to win when they play near a perfect game, but they have no margin for error.

Cripes the Wizards missed about 23490823049 zillion shots in the first quarter yesterday and only lost by 9. James was turning the ball over like crazy despite his large point total.

Supposedly, the Cavs fan plan is not to boo James, but to LOL at him. Like he's a clown, there to amuse them.

This probably IS a game he decides to play hard though which could mean big numbers for his highnesss.

Carmelo's been a knucklehead up until Chauncey Billups got traded to Denver. Carmelo in NY = back to knucklehead ways.

what they should do is just become heels like in WWF and act like total dicks to every one. THAT I would get behind, big time.

I would get behind this too if they started talking mountains of shit and fouling guys hard. Not happening but boy would it be great. Bring a bit of nastiness back to the NBA.

In all fairness, the ownership problem and the uncertainty of the coach's health would be reason enough to give 'MElo pause to resign. Not to mention the team as presently constructed needs more pieces.

[Wang Mandu]

Poor S-Jax. Still waiting for one of the league's goldenboys to actually get T'd up.

Stephen Jackson docked game by NBA

The other night Jazz vs. Clippers, a Jazz player acts like he's going to slam the ball but doesn't after he was whistled for a reach in foul. Obviously, he's frustrated with himself, instant technical. I love you NBA but goddamn it's hard sometimes.

Bring on the boos!

Bring on the D-cell batteries!

Seriously, fuck LeBron. You stole Jordan's pre-game powder routine and you haven't won shit. So sick of the NBA and sports news having their mouth stuffed with this guy's cock. The Spurs are killing it, the Magic and Celtics are killing it, Utah is destroying teams in the second half and all we get to hear about is a team barely above .500.

The Magic fucking hammered the Bulls, . Just awful. Teams play bad every once in a while but not that bad. Soon enough, I'm sure Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis will remember that they can coast and still get paid.

[Zerohero]

game sucks, and is only for the james fan, faggot was flying and insane.

[Zerohero]

Can't imagine how pissed I'd be as a Cavs fan after my team not only lay the fuck down for King James but then played grab-ass with him all night. The Cleveland fans wanted blood and instead got their team still being starry-eyed of Lebron and not even trying.

That was horseshit. Cavs can be cold enough shooting and turn the ball over in the new uncomfortable offense to get blown out, but not buy 40 fucking points, even with Lebron throwing in every joke shot off the scoreboard.

There's never an excuse for a beatdown like that with 2 nba teams, whether it's Nets V Lakers or Clippers V boston. You have to lay down and give no fucking effort to get skull fucked that way.

Good news is the Quitter signs can be re-cycled and used on the present cavs now.

Turned off in 4th quarter--- did I miss anyone throwing a shoe or anything?

[valgalder]

I turned it off towards the end of the 3rd quarter. As mentioned, game sucking fucked.

wasn't really expecting them to pull a huge upset against the Heat, but it wasn't even competitive. what was Cavs shooting percentage? 25%? Unacceptable.

[Burpcore the GRIM]

Ahh, a river of tears and menstrual blood floweth through the heart of Cleveland today. The sweet, symphonic cacophony of the sobs of disillusioned adults and children alike can still be heard over the dull yammering of our failing infrastructure...

[DanBehavingBadly]

Bring on the D-cell batteries!

I don't know what size, but I did read that some batteries rained down on the Heat bench area.

just a big ol' kid out there.... havin' fun....

[necrothrash]

Ok Shaq, if the Celts win 8 in a row, you can eat this baby.

[Natas]

so this is what Bron's gf looks like. not bad... she's with him since high shool i guess so she was there before he made all his money even though i'm sure it was evident then that he'd be knee deep in it eventually.

Is it bragging if I say I'm going to the Lakers/Nets game tomorrow? It's my first basketball match, very excitered.

[HeyWard]

It's my first basketball match...

[From Blintzes to Crepes]

goddamn that Knicks/Celtics game was good.

[Turd Murder]

It's my first basketball match...

Haha, talk about culture shock. It was pretty badass, I have to say. Whenever Kobe got the ball the whole Prudential Center would erupt in a rumbling 'BOOOOOO' and I heard the term 'ballhog' thrown around a lot. And there was almost a fight in the stands but security broke it up. And, Magic Johnson was there courtside watching the game. Lindsey freaked since Magic was one of her childhood heroes and she tried in vain to sneak up there to get to meet him, but alas, it was not to be.

[Wang Mandu]

The Knicks are about two good defensive players away from being a pretty good team.

STAT is destroying teams. 9 or 10 games of 30 or more points in a row . Raymond Felton isn't playing like Raymond Felton either.

Joakim Noah out for 8-10 weeks, . Yao also out...that man can't catch a break and it might be time to retire. A shame.

[Natas]

he was so amazing when he was healthy too. EDIT: he's only 30 years old!

Joaquim Noah is awesome, I love that guy.
