NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

that lebron in high school
the dwight picture is extremely recent

and im not looking too much into it. 2 years is a long time
but i will say, Bynum has 2 more years after his contract so the lakers could have the money depending on the new CBA

btw, it's Ric "Kobe has played his last game as a Laker" Bucher. Since then, i do not take him seriously. he was dying for Kobe to leave the lakers

LeBron has never been shy to say the Bulls are his favorite NBA team.

 

[elcheato]

Oh yea and Spurs are 25-3, 2nd best start 28 games into a season (weird stat), but that just shows you how good they are playing..

Come on dude, Lakers are light years ahead of the West.

 

[Mexi]

i dont understand them
duncan played 27 minutes and had 9 points 9 boards

for the season he's averaging only 29 minutes, putting up a solid 14/10 in those limited minutes


i've always love Manu, but damn. his numbers arent crazy this year, but he's leading this team to an amazing record. bugs the hell out of me because i still dont think they're this good
i think dallas is better. i wont even mention the lakers until they actually start to care. they're playing like stoners

and to Rip and CC when he comes, keep doubting. I trust you guys know better

if the lakers played like it meant something and Bynum was healthy (i set this disclaimer preseason) then they are lightyears ahead of the west. no contest. but not now obviously. they're crap

 

[Elite]

The Lakers have led the West in wins the past two seasons IIRC, they obviously try in the regular season. You're just oblivious to the fact that the team isn't as good it was last season.

 

[RipCity32]

Pistons played like stoners every year after their title, aside from that 60 win season.
So I'd be pretty worried.

 

[Mexi]

it's december. december.

they have won back to back titles. they've reached the pinnacle twice. twice
they've been to the Finals 3 years in a row
it's only natural to get lackadaisical. they always say "we'll be ready for the playoffs when it counts
kobe's the only one who cares about every game

im being serious. watch a regular lakers game. not the heat or spurs coming up. a game like the Bucks game. absolutely pathetic effort. they were playing like they were entitled.

Pistons made it to the Finals back to back years, got lazy as fuck in the regular season and it bit them in the ass during the playoffs. Dudes are going to be regretting it like crazy when they are on the road in a game 7..

lakers still have Kobe and Phil

the Bulls werent #1 the 3rd title year in the first 3 peat

 

[Mexi]

i think Dallas has a better shot at beating the lakers than san antonio

 

[Lake Louise]

I honestly didn't even know the Pistons played. Maybe I shouldn't watch anymore. They might keep winning lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Lakers have had the easiest schedule in the league though and still haven't done well. They haven't played the Celtics, Heat, Magic, Spurs, Mavericks, Thunder, etc. But they're so much better than the West it's not even funny, so what am I saying.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I still believe the Lakers are the team to beat. We all know it, however they have shown they are vulnerable this season. But it's still early, and with Phil and Kobe you know they'll be ready for the playoffs.

The Mavs are second best, more depth, and we have the length to match up against the Lakers and the depth, and have already beat the Spurs in San Antonio, on of their 3 losses. Mavs are 6-0 against the Heat, Magic, Spurs, Celtics this season and 13-3 against teams over .500.

Spurs just piss me the fuck off, all their games are close and they find ways to squeak by. Their luck can't last all year.

I do think though, the best team in the NBA resides in the east, the Celtics. Their the one team I'd put over the Lakers

1. Celtics
2. Lakers
3. Mavs
4. Spurs
5. Heat
6. Bulls

McGrady went ham.
Just shows that the dude is ready to go off. We just have him caged in as fuck. It's so irritating.

 

[Mexi]

everything MapleLeaf said is 100% my opinion. everything. celtics 1, spurs bs kinda, mavs behind lakers but can certainly beat them

keep saying what you will cc
if the lakers are healthy and playing like it's the Finals, they're easily best in the west. easily. but they arent and they wont until rd 2 or WCF. cant judge them yet, thy do this every year. anyways, they're playing like crap and arent buried in the west. spurs and mavs are obviously within reach. only december

 

[MR.ballin]

his attitude is absolute shit

rofl. and they lost the game

dear demarcus, dont ever disrespect reggie miller ever again

What happens when Karma swings back to bite you.

You know you hate to play against someone who does that shit all the time .. which probably makes it pretty effective.

 

[buzzy]

Magic blowing out the Spurs .. :mellow:
