*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

Trade Wade for Carmelo, it's obvious the Heat need a fat lazy gun to complete their team.

 

Thank god some ****ty East teams won tonight. Now the Cavs are only 8th in the playoff seeding. Pick it up Boston, New York, and New Jersey, you ****ers.

 

Who do you want the cavs to draft?

 

No one specific yet, but we need to be in the lottery at least (well actually Davis or Drummond, but I doubt we get the 1st or 2nd pick).

 

I haven't rooted for a loss yet thank you very much, and I've been thoroughly disgusted with the last 2 games.

 

I've been rooting for losses. Keep it close and lose every game on the last shot - that is the goal.

 

I know we need to lose, but during the game I have to root for us to win. I can't help it.

 

Haha - it depends for me - when Irving and Thompson are out there, I am cheering for a win - but if it is Sessions and Jamison - I don't care.

And I'm not actively cheering for them to lose - more just watching the game indifferent to the result.

BTW - With Horford, Camby, Lopez and some other big men going down, I wonder if the market for Varejao went way up.

 

They won't trade Varajeo sadly IMO (I think they should), but I do think the market should be up because he's playing better than ever and big men have gone down recently.

 

Tim Reynolds (AP) - "The Magic number for the Sixers to eliminate the Knicks in the Atlantic division race is 46."

 

Everytime we play the Bucks, its a ****ing derp fest.

 

"Based on Wade's body language on the bench he is clearly unhappy and wants to opt out and go to Boston"

-Somewhere in Bill Simmon's underdevloped brain, you heard it here first.

 

Consider the source...

 

Man, he went in.

Nothing can fix the Knicks, IMO. I doubt Dwight ends up with New York. If the Knicks manage to sign Paul or Williams, maybe they can be a threat. But I don't see that happening either.

 

How the hell is it humanly possible to be as bad as the Wizards are?

 

you just ruined it. You are not gonna get Ryan Anderson as well. They are gonna extend him. That takes a decent deal and makes it completely lopsided in the Knicks favor. (what a surprise?) Just when you get a deal that is actually good...you want to get greedy.

just do the D12 deal..then work on shipping Melo to NJ and try to sneak Morrow out of them as well.

I should be a general manager in the NBA.

 

Damn

 

After tonight, the Knicks will have played the softest schedule in the NBA. Their opponents will have a win% of around .440.

Tonight is the epic conclusion of the Bobcats / Knicks trilogy.

 

Bunch of hooligans playing basketball in DC. They need to clean house, aside from Wall of course. McGee and Blatche need to be the first ones to go.

They should fire Flip as well.

 

LOL

He was supposed to be on the court, right?

I mean it looked like Orlando only had 4 until he came off the bench.

 

Well that didn't take long.

Flip is fired......happened today.

 

Flip Saunders is Eddie Jordan bad. No surprise here. Though I doubt it matters much for the Wizards because that team is just awful, and that includes Wall.

 

Cleveland has been remarkably quiet today about the Heat game tonight. But that won't stop ESPN from painting us as being still bitter and freaking out.

 

Well, the game is in Miami.

Lessens the national interest factor to almost zero

 

According to that jackass Austin Carr you still are.

 

I wasn't even bitter a week later.

I'm not a fan of Austin Carr's broadcasting ability either, though I've seen worse.

 

Fairly certain national fans picked it to be the game of the night on NBA Network tonight - can someone confirm / deny?

 

When they had to go all the way down to Austin Carr to find a good quote, I think my point is proven.

 

true. it won the NBATV poll for Fan Night.

 

Hmm. Did not know that.

Better for me, now I can watch the game

 

Knicks Bobcats were robbed. Hater arse fans!

 

I hope being on NBAtv doesn't prevent me from watching it online with league pass.

 

BTW, the biggest scumbag hack in Ohio sports writing is Sam Amico.

he flat out makes **** up, and carries water for Gilbert like it's his job.

he constantly plants made up stories about the heat in order to stir up ****, and then when real sports writers locally try to verify them, they are told that he just makes **** up.

 

Haha - I bookmarked today's article about LeBron returning to Cleveland for its complete and total absurdity.

 

I have no problem with the speculation. In fact, it is a FACT that Dwyane Wade has said that he wants to play the final year of his career in Chicago.

But Sam Amico is flat out making this up. To say that he has "issues" with Riley's "heavy handed discipline" when everybody around the team see BOTH of them at every single function together and then see Lebron chatting with Riley after practice every single day is a bit much.

and I can tell you that the Heat get unreasonably angry IMO at made up reports, but this is one that they should act on, and pull his credential for tonight.
