2012-2013 NBA Regular Season Thread

he should work on grammar too. that lost sucked.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Drummond is going to be a hell of a player.  His length is unreal.  That rebound putback and one (er, could have been an and one if he made the FT) he had over Boozer was pretty awesome.  Looked like his arm stretched from under the basket to the free throw line.

 

[RipCity32]

At least Dre is starting finally. Glad we are still losing in the process. Even though this draft is meh. 
 
Fingers crossed for Oladipo, McLemore, or Shabazz.

whats pretty refreshing about him is his motor. not just in game either, he really wants to get better, but still has fun. people around the team are already saying hes the player we will build around and hes our franchise guy.

 

[RipCity32]

Though I'd be okay with Porter too I guess. 

 

[Pugz]

if we get a top 4 pick we need to go for best star potential. 5-8 we can get another solid prospect but we would be looking at another alright player.

whats our lottery odds now?

This draft really is meh. Only guys that I really really like are McLemore and Smart. And even they have bigtime concerns.

 

[Pugz]

if we dont get 1 or 2(doubt it), but still high enough for dipo, i want him.

 

[RipCity32]

Last time I checked we were only like 1 game out of 3rd worst in the NBA.
If things continue like this we could have a legit shot at McLemore. Which would be awesome. Dipo is a nice "fallback" though. 

 

[Pugz]

bmack is my top choice, dipo second, and porter third. if we lose the lottery, burke wouldnt be bad. burke would mean we arent going forward with pgbk

 

[RipCity32]

I'd take Shabazz over Otto. I think Otto is going to be a fine pro, but Shabazz has a higher ceiling imo. 
I was going to say the same thing about Burke too. But I'm perfectly ok with having Knight go back to PG where he belongs.  
 
But if all four of the SG/SFs I want are off the board when we pick, I'm all for drafting Trey. 

 

[buzzy]

Pistons are due for a top 3 pick again. Just don't get another Darko. Pulling for you guys tho.

 

[RipCity32]

I thought we were due the last couple seasons lol. Glad we didn't last year though, love me some Dre

completely forgot about bazz, idk how lol. hed be my 2nd choice and then dipo. i think dipo could be better and more all around tho.

It's a close call for me in Shabazz vs. Dipo. 
Before the season started I would've said Shabazz without hesitation, but after watching Oladipo play the Wolverines a couple teams, I really like what I see from him.

 

[Pugz]

bazz seems like he may have an ego issue going forward because hes been labeled as such a good prospect for so long. dipo seems more like a detroit player but i wouldnt mind am ego player at all, just need to make sure they stay here longterm. bmack, bazz, dipo would all be great pieces for us going forward.

 

[RipCity32]

I agree. Piece them with Iguodala or Mayo and now we are cooking with oil

 

[Pugz]

idk about iggy. dude is going to want the money it seems. mayo would only be a choice for us if we miss on those three and take porter.

 

[RipCity32]

Well, we certainly can't go into the season with Singler starting at SF again.

 

[Pugz]

hes better suited for the bench, but we dont need to throw max money around to get an older player.
