NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Timmy Duncan is a beast. Just saw the highlights, and either the medical staff is really good, he is just a beast, or a little bit of both. I just know not every person would be able to come back, in that same game, from that.

Spurs are beasting though. Playing like the 91-92 Bulls, Record wise anyways.

Yeah it was a hyper-flex on his problem knee. The same knee that's ailed him in the last several years.

The Spurs are healthy for the first time since the 2007 title run. [knock on wood] And it's great to see finally. Every team has injury bugs but the Spurs have been without one of the big three or played one injured in every playoffs since. Not making excuses because every team has to deal with that injury bug but it does suck.

 

[Brutalis]

That's a interesting way to look at it, but I disagree lol. I think using the term off night is a way to say "yeah we sucked, but I'll just say we had a off night so I can avoid giving the other team credit." Then of course, there is just the fact that I've always hated the term off night. I've gotten into arguments with Hornets fans about that term, I just hate it.

BTW, how's Timmy?

No I give total and full respect to NOLA and the win. You will find that me personally, I give credit where credit is due in a win or a loss with my squads.

There has been no word yet since last nights game on his condition. He is listed as "probable" for the game @ Utah on Wednesday night.

deron wants out now, too

called this a long time ago

all im going to say is, the lakers are going to have money when Deron and Dwight are FA's because Bynum will also be a FA. if they dont like what they see in Bynum, he's out

ok, now bleacher, cc, rip, tyo and cheato jump me

He's not a FA, but there is a team option that year. It's not too crazy of a thought though. If there is good vibes from Dwight on wanting to come to LA, then deny Bynum & bring Dwight here. Won't be the first time a big guy that made Orlando relevant would come over to the Lakers. Idk.

You guys have zero use for Deron. He would go to waste in the triangle.

As for Dwight, he's staying in Orlando, can't see him leaving.

Idk where Deron goes, Nets could make a play both in a trade and if he hits FA. Not a lot of teams with the cap space to get him and have a need at PG.

I wouldn't be surprised because the NBA is fucked up and that's how it works...

Only if we have by "superstar" by then. Brook, Favors or (hopefully, really hoping) Irving could be that guy in the near future.

They've been terrible lately. We crushed them right after we killed the Melo trade talks and Boston blew them out the following game. It's been all downhill for them since then.

i dont see dwight going to la. deron, maybe. but i would see him going to a texas team first.

I agree.

Howard grew up either a TD21 fan or a DRob fan, I forget which. But he said somewhere he grew up a Spurs fan also. Maybe not 100% accurate, I don't remember the site I saw this one and my google search came up with nothing.

Timmy will be a FA after next season. Rumor has it he will retire. And following him so close his whole career I believe it with my whole heart. Howard will be a FA then too, and there's no doubt the Spurs and Pop will pursue him hardcore.

 

[DJT]

No way Deron goes to the Lakers. He HATES the Lakers.

Last I heard Deron was mad because people weren't playing in their right spots, they weren't running the plays right. Then I heard some rumor that Deron and Sloan don't see eye-to-eye, but knowing what I know about both of them, they will work it out.

When the hell is Rodrigue Beabouis coming back? I mean seriously all I here is that he is coming back next week for like the past 2 months. Dude needs to suck it up and get on the court.
