2012 NBA season thread

I still don't get why Chalmers guards the opposing PG if the team doesn't have a quality option at SG. Wade should be on Lawson every damn time.

Austin Carr comparing Matt Barnes to the kid in school that was a smart ass that you just want to pluck in the head, and saying that Casspi should be looking to pop him in the ribs off screens lmao. AC is the best.

Kobe looking to get another 40 point game tonight I see.

I don't think anyone hates the Heat more than Jon Barry. He has never said one positive thing about them since the start of last season, not one.

 

[elcheato]

It's countered out by 95% of ESPN being Heat apologists.

 

[elcheato]

Kobe is definitely pissed at being somewhat written off in the off-season. He's going to win MVP

 

[elcheato]

Call a damn foul, smh. I've seen Kyrie get hammered down to the ground on obvious fouls at least 3 times with no calls. His rookie treatment will probably turn into superstar calls soon enough tho.

Also, Antawn Jamison's veteran leadership taking 15 terrible shots, only hitting 3.

lmaooooooooo

that had me loling. lebron needs to go to church

Pistons won

kobe is hellbent on proving everyone wrong
but this is going to be a problem in the long run

like seriously, kobe is hogging like a mad man, more than he has in a while
there are times where you just flat out know he's not going to pass it

then i look up his numbers and he's somehow averaging 6 assists a game. idk how he does it

 

[elcheato]

Kyrie > John Wall already.

He is the most underrated #1 pick I've ever seen. All you hear about on TV is Rubio this, Rubio that.

 

[Mexi]

well, Rubio is Nash 2.0. a little less shooting, a little more defense

but you're right. kyrie is nice. tonight was my first time seeing him. i like him a lot

 

[RipCity32]

Cause Rubio is God.

 

[elcheato]

I'm starting to hate Rubio cause he's getting more publicity then Kyrie lol.

NBA.com just did a poll asking who would you rather have on your team. Rubio, Wall, Kyrie or Brandon Jennings. 53% say Rubio and 15% say Kyrie. Like, are you fuckin serious.

 

[Mexi]

i like kyrie a lot. he has great feel for the game. he's a stud for sure

but i love me some rubio. i swear he's Nash

 

[RipCity32]

I can't select either right now.
Not much to go on to pick between.

If I wanted a more true PG I'd pick Rubio.
Irving does everything better than Rubio aside from passing though.

 

[elcheato]

Nash without a jump shot is a pretty significant drop off to actual Nash. Kyrie's better then Rubio at everything other then passing, and he's not even far behind when it comes to passing. He only played 11 games in college, his upside is tremendous. As opposed to Rubio whose been a professional for years.

 

[Mexi]

this is pretty much like a lesser version of rondo vs. westbrook right now

kyrie is better, but i just love rubio. im being biased.

 

[RipCity32]

Knight over everything imo
