Official NBA thread

Yeah, they'll be back up. I guess it's the new mould of players. I'm predicting a 4th-5th seed finish.

Meh, I don't think it's Chandler. He's never been that great, he only got the big signing with the Knicks because he looked so good against the Heat in the finals because they had nobody to counter him. Grats on 4,000 posts too

But at least the Lakers looked nice today!

 

Durant had a bad game shooting wise today.

 

I never found Odom to be that great either. To me he is lazy and doesn't bring his game every day. Who all did Dallas lose this year? I know they lost that short white guy Berao or something that was really good off of the bench in the playoffs. Who else?

 

Caron Butler, although Vince Carter should fill in the scoring void. I'm not that big on the Mavereicks, i've been a Spurs fan ever since I band wagoned in 99'

 

NBA 2012 All-Star Ballot out:

http://www.nba.com/2012/news/01/04/2012-all-star-ballot/

Thoughts?

 

My votes:



West is really lacking in Centers/Forwards. East has a lot more depth.

 

Wouldn't change a thing, great ballot.

 

^^ Feel free to crack a smile Kevin Durant.

 

triple over time! epic game ^_^

 

I got to admit was pretty impressive without James and Wade.

 

ATL now in back-back OT games, melo got a big 3 to put NY up by 3, i hope ATL can get it right now

 

Yeah, only person I had debate over was Blake Griffin, was going to put Kevin Love in there.

I agree, Bosh played sick. That's going down as one of the wins of the season.


Looking at them now, the Bulls have SO much depth. I'm really looking forward to a Heat vs. Bulls conference final. They both look unstoppable but the only real threats to these teams are each other.

 

That's true, I honestly think if Chi have home court adv in a 7 game series they can win it in 7.

And also, there shouldn't be any debate blake griffin vs kevin love, to be honest kevin love is the BEST power forward in the world right now, there is no one that is averaging close to 20-15 in the NBA, he really needs to get his name out as there really is no other PF better than him right now

 

K. Love is a great player, but I'm not sure about best PF in the world.. at least not yet anyway. He's still playing on a below .500 team and his stats some would say are typical of playing on a bad ball team. I can see a ring or two for him though.

 

Portland Trail Blazers are really impressing me. LaMarcus should be an All Star this year. It's such a shame B. Roy retired and Oden can't play this year, otherwise I reckon they'd be true title contenders. Also, lololol @ Blake's missed free throw. Oh, and LolBron.

 

Portland is my second favorite team. It is amazing to see what they are doing even after all of those injuries.

 

Lakers vs. Clippers is gonna be hectic!

 

Kobe 3 straight 40point games in a row! unstoppable.

 

Make that 4 games in a row
