2013-2014 NBA Season Thread

Lin is a perfect sixth man
Always felt that and he was proving me right

But like you said, beverly is a better starter for them but they need an upgrade

Perfect? I'm not saying he's a bad sixth man but is he really perfect? 
 

He more than makes up for it offensively though

Harden isnt the reason they will lose if they lose

We'll see what happens when he's matched up with another star in the playoffs and doesn't get his calls.

To change the topic, Kyrie is cementing himself as the best PG in the East. After his horrible start, dude has been unstoppable.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I heard fans on Cavs forums were SHITTING on him earlier in the year haha. Like wanted him traded and the team built around Dion lmao. You'll always read the craziest things on team message boards.

Well, define perfect

Its arbitrary, but he is fine as a sixth man. Attacks, can shoot the 3, can facilitate a little

Definitely above average as a sixth man which is an advantage

They're a fickle bunch, much like myself. Although I never went that far.
 
Kyrie
Miles
Deng
TT
Varejao
 
Jack
Dion
 
Hell, even Zeller looks competent now. If we can get Bennett to contribute anything at all, we could probably win a playoff series if we finish at least 6th in the East.

 

[Mexi]

On another note, i could totally see the lakers losing to the cavs and all 7 of their big road trip

That would be 18/19 losses and idk how many in a row. 10 or 11 i think

You guys tank the wrong draft and force the playoffs in the wrong draft

 

[Pugz]

bennett will be classified as a bust in two years.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Cavs should've taken Giannis #1 haha.

 

[Mexi]

Lakers could be bottom 5

the west is so deep and the east so lackluster that teams like philly could end up with more wins because its easier to beat charlotte and boston than memphis and sacramento

Lakers wont be worse than milwaukee
Probably wont be worse than orlando
There is a chance Utah can get more wins. A chance
There is some wiggle room for 4th whoever im missing

 

[bosoxlover12]

Yeah, when I said below average, I thought that it was obvious that I was referring to that as starters. He's obviously not a below average basketball player, but he's a below average starting PG. Thought that was understood

 

[elcheato]

Bennett will be fine. Too much talent there offensively. He just wasn't ready for the NBA, and erratic playing time out of position isn't helping.
 
Still have the future Memphis lottery pick to dangle on the trade market too, to improve the team more.

 

[Pugz]

if hes a bust i would never say its his fault. i never thought of him as a #1 player.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah but to be fair I never thought of anyone in this draft as a #1 player except maybe Nerlens but he tore his ACL which obviously hurt his stock.

 

[Mexi]

Vancouver should have a team

and i agree mexi

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Amare looking good tonight! And JR hasn't bricked once :-X

 

[elcheato]

Vancouver should have a team

 
Bought that earlier today

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Amare scored 21 in 22 minutes off the bench getting a pop from the Philly crowd that surprisingly has many Knicks fans tonight.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Oh my God, my Rockets are going to lose to the Wizards...
 
It's very quickly becoming embarrassing to admit my Rockets fanhood. One ridiculous loss after another.
