Preseason Discussion Thread

[The Young One]

Lmao you're a joke...that season didnt count really..... You always talk crap on teams like the lions..when it comes to football. Your team is the nba equivalent of the 08 detroit lions.

That season didn't count? Why did they even try to win a game then?

Except they (the Lions) were actually trying to win games. We gave all stars like Yi Jianlian and Trenton Hassell starter minutes when there were much better options on the bench. 30 wins will be the max that the Philthy 69'ers get this year.

Teams can be punished if they are caught tanking intentionally.

Going to the Pistons vs. Hawks game tonight <3

That season didn't count. It was only a failure because we didn't get Wall (probably the only NBA ready player in this draft).

Sixers:

No interior defense.
No shooters.
Massive logjam at the 2 and 3.

Have fun with that. Don't let Toronto push you into the basement this year.

Why didnt it count? Did they take steroids or something? Were they setting themselves up for the big free agency bidding? lol

I bet if you ask Terrance Williams or Lopez or any player on their team, they will tell you they tried to win. Possibly after being knocked out of the playoffs, some might of taken a more relaxed approach, but those guys aren't true basketball players.

Giving Amare "I'm one bruised knee or eye poke away from being out of the league" Stoudemire 100 million in uninsured money was the wisest signing of the off season.

Solid game by Manny Harris.. 14/4/4.. Should make the team over Danny Green.

i hate preseason basketball.
how you guys watch it, is beyond me

i love the NBA.....most of the time......but i hate the preseason. i watch 10 seconds of it and am instantly bored.

but i can watch a full game of pacers/bobcats for instance. or almost any clipper game. lol

 

[elcheato]

so two Heat players already pulled their hammy in a game. LeBron is the only player I'd probably stand up and cheer for if he got hurt, not gonna lie. It's wrong but for him, I wouldn't care. If he had a serious injury in Cleveland, he'd prob get a standing ovation as soon as people saw him on the ground.

 

[$tunna]

I hate the amount of injuries we got in ATL. Hopefully everyones well be the seasons start

 

[elcheato]

Cavs 4-1 in pre-season lol, means nothing but at least we arent losing

 

[Mexi]

so i watched some of the Clipper game after I said I hate preseason lol

I still hate it, but wow. the Clipper announcers are huge homers anyways. no big
they never seem to get truly annoyed with the clips. and man do they HATE the Lakers.

anyways, they were sucking Blake Griffin so much tonight. the only reason i watched for longer than a split second was to see what they'd say next

"He's like Karl Malone but a better ball handler"
"Karl Malone was never this good at shooting this soon"
"Blake might be the best ball handling PF in the game"
"Blake Griffin will be the most exciting player in L.A. this season. Every sport included and thats saying something"------------stab at Kobe and Pau. ok ok

they're hilarious though. get kinda annoying, but i've been listening for years so I guess im used to them.

they're overrating Blake's shooting and dribbling. I couldnt wipe the smile off my face. they were cracking me up

 

[$tunna]

I don't see Blake being more exciting then the back to back champs lol

Cavs are gonna do mediocre this year but I can already see that Hickson is gonna develop into an all-star, no doubt in my mind. Very comparable to Amare with the way he can start moves from the perimeter, and still use post moves and finish with great athleticism. Even looks bigger this year.

I really like JJ Hickson's game dude is fun to watch for sure

 

[RipCity32]

Hickson is fun in NBA 2k lol. I knew he'd be special when he got drafted.

 

[$tunna]

Heck yeah man ever since that Elite 24 game in 07 I've been expecting great things from him lol

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

LOL

Picture looks unreal. Never would have imagined T-Mac in Detroit and LeBron in Miami a few years ago.
