2012 NBA season thread

The Magic are making the Celtics and Hawks look like offensive juggernauts right now.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Deng has been playing like shit lately.

 

[elcheato]

Is he still playing 50 minutes a game?

Watched a bit of the Bulls/Magic game, mostly the second quarter, and the best part of the game wasn't even the game itself but when they were talking to Dwight about what they needed to improve.

The best part of the interview was not Dwight's glasses, but rather he was saying how it was important for him to work on his free throws since in close games that will make the difference. Wow, you are smart, how long have you been on the league and you haven't worked on your free throws yet (and we know you won't work on them in the offseason since you will be scouting your future team).

 

[Hurricane Season]

John Lucas doesn't give a FUCK.

 

[RManske2]

With 2 minutes left in the game why is Dwight Howard still on the floor in a 26 point game? That makes no sense to me, then again, the Magic don't make a lot of sense to me in general at this point.

 

[elcheato]

Noah holstering the guns gets me every time

 

[Hurricane Season]

Under 60 points, lol.

 

[RManske2]

It's a White Mamba sighting! Nice... :cheese:

 

[Hurricane Season]

59 isn't even a season low for the Magic.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Took nearly 3 minutes for the first points in this GS/Minny game lol

 

[Mexi]

drose is always hurt

[jonathanlambert33]

That's what excellent D does for you.

yeah
Thibs is amazing

why they didn't give him an extension, I have no idea

 

[Hurricane Season]

I doubt Rose is even unable to play, sitting him out is probably a strategy to keep him fresh going into the postseason.

You don't want to rush a groin injury regardless.

Anyone think Demarcus Cousins can be an all star in this league?

He's currently averaging 16 ppg, 11rpg, 1bpg, and 1spg playing 29 mpg. Pretty impressive for a guy his age.

 

[Mexi]

yeah
they win without him anyways. just sit him

I think he can with the lack of true big men in the league and it seems like a lot of people who talk about basketball thinks this guy can be a star if he can keep his head straight. I thought one of the reasons he fell in the draft a bit was due to rumors about his immaturity and stuff like that.
