2012-2013 NBA Season Thread

And lets get the ball rolling with the draft. Am I the only one who thinks Doc River's son should have stayed in college one more year?!?!

[theronin]

2nd!

Lakers anyone?

[Riq]

AHHHHHHHH THIRD, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, NO TIME FOR LOSERS CAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.... OF THE WORLD!!!


Okay, I'm done.

Nah I think Doc's son's stock is pretty high right now. Last I checked he is projected to go top 10 and as low as 5th. Given that Doc is his dad, I expect him to be more ready to play in the NBA than most.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Thats the thing, I've seen him play in while he was at Duke...he just didnt have that "wow" factor for him. I think he could have played another year to get more experience and get more comfortable. NBA will be too fast for him I think, not sure how long itll take him to adjust to the speed.

Plus, he looked like he just started puberty yesterday...

I agree with every part of this statement.

Looks like Amar'e is taking his anger out on fans now. A Knick fan tweeted him to step his game up next season and Amar'e the 10 year old pmed him "Fuck you. I don't have to do anything F*g". What is wrong with Amar'e? Has he never heard of screen grab? I'm sure he will get a pretty nice fine from the NBA for this smh...

[FRpilot]

haha he really said that?

Ruh roh, looks like Grant Hill is gonna have to have a word with Amare tossing that phrase around.

[aziankingz]

You can't blame Amare for his antics; after all, he is from Florida? Right?, Right?

Man, I hope you guys liked that parade. Should have been epic. Anybody actually go and take pics?

So I just read, the Thunder lost to the Heat 4-1 with a full squad (no major players lost due to injury) The Knicks lost to the Heat 4-1 with a not complete roster (dumbass Amar'e, Davis, Lin). Does that mean Thunder=Knicks?

HAHAHAHA oh crap, what did I just start?

[tricky_ab]

Ray's chasing paper this year - it's his last contract. As long as he can prove that he can get his legs underneath him, he'll get a big enough 2 year deal somewhere.

But it'd be interesting to see him play with the Heat. Hell, either Nash or Allen will be making buckets of treys.

I was not able to give grats to the heat fans in the last thread...


but congrats you guys earned it. as much as I would have loved to see queen james never get a title in his career he stepped up and showed true class and sportsmanship, he really played his ass off and I do have allot of respect for him..


anyway I agree! I think the knicks with healthy players will be a force to be reckoned with next season. Lin WILL be back on the team due to the whole bird rule. Lin puts asses in seat and thats what the knicks head honchos want.

There, fixed that for you.

The knicks CAN be a better team next year than this year, but only when anyone not named Tyson Cleotis Chandler can be bothered to even TRY on defense will they be a contender. I am also not convinced that Carmelo can work in an offensive system in which the ball doesn't die in his hands, for better or worse.

Can't agree more...

hey let not forget gucchi!

melo has to realize that if he does not do what lebron did and play D with all his heart then he won't have a ring. I hope this dawns apon him. I hope he realizes this. He is possibly the most naturally talented player in the nba.

Ray Allen will play in Miami or Chicago next season. Sure he wants money but he wants to win more. From what I understand there is mutual interested from Ray and Miami to make it happen. Personally I am jumping for joy at the idea of Ray playing here. He's the only Celtic that I respect and like. Plus the guy is a hard worker and extremely classy. Mike Miller is sure to be out for most of next season if he doesn't retire after back surgery so Ray is def needed.


I would also like to see Chris Kamen come to Miami but that is highly unlikely, he is going to want money more than winning.

As far as Steve Nash goes.... It's highly unlikely Miami signs him. We won with Rio and Cole train. If they bring Nash in, that takes minutes away from our young up and comming PG's. Plus Nash can't defend like these guys can and thats the most important thing in Miami. Nash could be playing in NYC... Atleast thats what I think... OKC is a strong possibility as well.

nash won't come to nyc because of the cap

It would have to be for the vet minimum but it would have to be that pretty much anywhere he goes when it comes to contenders. Plus you know Amar'e is going to try his hardest to talk him into it. Nash would make the Knicks a dangerous team as long as Amar'e acts his age and not his IQ and Melo comes back inshape for the first time ever and adds more to his game other than Melo+Eldow=Bad shot and no ball movement

I could not agree with you more but I don't think this will happen

Report -- Larry Bird to step down as Indiana Pacers president - ESPN

I don't quite know what to say about this. Wasn't Bird responsible for getting the Pacers in the playoffs?

Also NY should beware now that Walsh is going to be back in the driver's seat working for a team much better than the one he was on.

In other news Amar'e got hit with a $50K fine for his twitter pm to a Knick fan. That was an expensive pm.

i had braces when i was a kid. the first couple of days of wearing braces is always painful, but for him it will probably be more than a few days.
