Haha I know!

I’ve been watching man.

The pessimist in me points out all those wins came against bad teams, the best being against a Dirk-less Mavs and a Houston Rockets team. And even in after this run, they still aren’t in a playoff spot or close to being .500.

But on the flip side, for the first time in probably a couple of years, I had to turn off a game because it was a blowout in FAVOUR of the Raps. Last game against the Magic it wasn’t even close, they were up by 26 at one point. I’ve actually seen them play BETTER in Bargnani’s absence and Demar and surprisingly Alan Anderson have both looked good.

I think in reality they just weren’t as bad as they showed early on in the season, basically progression to the mean.

According to Hollinger odds, Raptors have a better chance of making the playoffs than the Celts and Sixers.

Anyone else watching the Lakers Sixers game?

Lakers D has been atrocious

Really impressed with Jrue Holliday

My brother in law just directed a redbull commercial starting D Will and he said the guy was a total A Hole lol

Dwayne wade was asked if he misses getting 20-25 shots a game.

He responds “everyday”

I wonder if he’d ever request a trade…

I wouldnt give up much for him. I dont think he’s ever played a full 82games,on the wrong side of 30 and is a dirty player. no thanks

Sacramento Kings 3-1 in their last 4 games! Best streak of like the past 5 years it feels like.

Anyone else a fan of a shitty team?

At least my original team, Warriors, are doing fucking awesome.

Yeah, warriors are doing surprisingly well, they are a fairly talented team in a weak conference though.

I am a fan of a not-so-great team as im from Chicago, and a Rose-less Bulls is just heartbreaking to watch. Im also a Lakers fan so that blows lol.

The only thing i have to look forward to this season is OKC, they are my number 2 after the bulls, and they fuckin rock. Not to pleased with the tough loss to Brooklyn though. At the same time im hoping every solid team loses at least 10 games so the bulls can keep their record.

I’m a huge Pacers fan, will be attending the their game against the Heat Tuesday. Will try to post some pictures. Sorry I don’t post in this thread, just can’t keep up with the season as I would like with school, work, and my social life. lol

I always liked them from 2000 - 2001 onwards but was never really a hardcore fan.

Still got the Bibby jersey lol but it kinda hurts to see them suck so much with talent like Cousins, Tyreke, etc. unable to realise their potential.

I also hate their shitty defensive nature. Honestly wouldn’t mind seeing them move to Seattle for a fresh start. Might actually get some talent to them.

Yeah, I guess he should’ve lied like the more stand up guys. Who wouldn’t miss shooting 20 shots a game?

This was done on his own accord, or would he want his 25 shots per game and be a mediocre team. Or did he think he would still get 25 shots per game with the addition of Lebron and the other dolt. This isn’t about honesty its about whats more important, being a perennial championship contender or getting enough shots a game.

This was his exact sentiment since the beginning of last season though. He said multiple times in postgame interviews that it was Lebron’s team now and Lebron was their #1 option and leader. But I’m not going to fault him because he is honest about missing shooting more often. What superstar honestly wouldn’t?

If less than 25 shots is the price you have to pay for championship rings, then I would be upset at any superstar that misses getting the shots.

speaking of star players, LAL at LAC tips in less than 2hrs…

yeah i’ll be watching that game, should be good.

Clippers are the better team and should win but you never know in the NBA.
