2012-2013 NBA Regular Season Thread

centered around Austin, or Greivis?

Ideally Vasquez, but I'd probably give up Rivers if it meant getting Jennings and having him sign a deal.

I think he's really underrated and will only get better.

 

[elcheato]

I don't. He's a scoring PG, but he's not that great of a scorer that makes you forget about his lack of play making.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

The question you have to ask yourself with Jennings is, how much more efficient would he be if he wasn't the first option? I guess you could put up the argument that he's the second option right now for the Bucks, but that would be splitting hairs. He's been extremely inconsistent, some games he looks like an All-Star and other games he looks like a relentless chucker. But in his time with the Bucks, who's been the best offensive player he's played with? Monta Ellis? Andrew Bogut? In his first two seasons John Salmons was the Bucks biggest weapon outside of Jennings.

Now imagine he comes to a team with Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson giving him more space to operate (and rack up more assists), Anthony Davis finishing everything around the rim, even putting in his misses (remember the Kobe assist?). At that point, do you think we'd see a Jennings with a lesser load on his back every night that is more efficient and consistent?

I don't think he'll ever be a 48% type of guy, but I do think his low percentage have a little to do with who he's playing with.

 

[elcheato]

Maybe a little, but it's hard to shake bad habits. His percentage is low because he takes dumb shots as well. He's going to get a max or a near max, and it just wouldn't be worth it to me.

 

[elcheato]

Also, Briand Windhorst went on some Cleveland radio station and said the Cavs have enough assets to entice the Wolves to move KLove. Not at this deadline though. Next off-season or something

That would be so awesome.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Fuck that, Love is the last superstar that will become available in the foreseeable future that the Bulls can pair with Rose. We NEED him.

 

[elcheato]

Step off bitch

Love and Kyrie had an Uncle Drew commercial together, that makes them practically related.

lmao poty

 

[Mexi]

Love is a laker, you guys havent heard?

Btw, I cant believe how many laker fans are in brooklyn. it sounds like a home game when they score. Crystal clear MVP chants for kobe, not just a patch of fans

wtf

I saw a story on royce white on real sports on hbo
the first time I actually saw footage of him. Man he looked good in college I think he could be a player

But man does he have issues. He wants his own doctor to make the final call on if he could pkay or not. Not the team dr.

He says that his issue is no different than a physical one. If you let a player sit because of a sprained ankle, he should be able to sit if he is not well enough

 

[Mexi]

Also he has OCD. His closet is insanely perfect
he said he constantly thinks. When he is driving hes always thinking about who is texting and driving near him

he was fine in college because he trusted his coach. Fred hoiberg who also pkayed for mchale and I think was in the FO with the wolves. Thats why they took him. His agent said mchale was the only one in houston who wanted him

 

[jonathanlambert33]

The Rockets have attempted 40 threes tonight...

 

[dez]

Really a shame about Royce, but I don't think its something he'll workout in the NBA, not enough stability.

 

[Pugz]

Really a shame about Royce, but I don't think its something he'll workout in the NBA, not enough stability.

my thoughts. right now, i just cant see him sticking. hes even admitted he can see himself walking away. thats not helping if he can vision himself doing that.

SAMUEL MOTHERFUCKING DALEMBERT

 

[jonathanlambert33]
