*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

great game. That was not a charge btw. Tolliver was moving his feet and flopped. Rubio can play.

 

The Nets really need Lopez back. That team is lacking something for sure.

 

Yeah they do. Okur looks worse than awful this year. That team is really, really bad.

 

They have absolutely no one. Which is odd because they have sucked pretty badly for the past few years.

 

And who is Cousins going to get traded to? Character issues aside, I'd love to have him.

 

Could Scott handle him? I'm not too sure many NBA coaches right now can set him straight like Cal did at UK.

 

I have no clue. I don't know that I'd want to give up what it'd likely cost to get him anyway.

 

KLove went into beast mode tonight. Rubio looked good driving into the hoop hitting 3's. Beasley looked like he broke his finger. His reaction upon removing the towel from his hand was "OMG IS THAT MY BONE?"

PBT on the Sacramento situation:

Yes, please.

 

Cousins is more hassle than he's worth. Wanted nothing to do with this clown coming out of UK, and in just over one year in the NBA he's already found a way to get into several confrontations with coaches, and is now sitting on the bench while the Kings look for anyone dumb enough to take this cancer off their hands. You can't win with lazy, immature, dumb basketball IQ players like this, no matter what his potential is, because with those 3 negatives, there's good chance he'll never be anything more than the great rebounder who plays little defense and is wildly inconsistent that he is now.

 

The player they have that would help Sacramento most is the player I think they could least afford to give up (Rondo).

 

Man, I disagree. Just what the Celtics need is a guy that puts up a ton of shots, and refuses to set screens unless he is involved in the P&R game.

Cousins, needs a team that will focus his scoring with a point guard.

 

He'd fit right in over in Washington. They already have a bunch of chuckers, might as well add another.

 

I think that would be a terrible place for him.

 

That was more tongue-in-cheek than anything. I don't think there's any team that would able to solve Cousin's problem. He's just a cancer and a thug. What he needs, is therapy, and a good old fashioned *** kicking.

 

I'm in favor of adding anyone to the Goon Squad in DC. Love the Wizards... they are comical.

 

Cant win 'em all.

 

Down goes OKC as well...pop the champagne Mercury Morris.

 

Zach Randolph out 6-8 weeks with a torn MCL.

 

Really Knicks? Blown out by Charlotte?

 

The Knicks are just plain bad. 55% from the field. That's what they allowed the awful Bobcats to do.

 

No kidding...have to assume Antoni(no D) is getting some screw faced looks from the Knicks FO.

 

So do we just give the award for Most Improved Player to Spencer Hawes now and get it over with?

 

His horrific defenses never cease to amaze me. He needs to go back where he belongs, Italy.

 

I think Kyle Lowry, Ty Lawson, and Andrea Bargnani are making their own cases.

Edit: Bynum too could have the argument made in his favor so far.

 

I can't see Bargnani or Lowry. They were both balling just as much last year. Lawson is looking real good this year. Bynum has a chance if he doesn't get injured, but we all know that's not going to happen. Hawes was the worst player in the NBA last year as far as I'm concerned, and in the first couple weeks of the season, he's a top 5 center. Ryan Anderson has a very good chance as well.

 

Ryan Hollins would like a word with you.

 

Valid point. Now that I think about it, Andris Biedrins was actually the worst player in the NBA last year.

 

Beasley is 7-17 from the FT line on the year. Wes Johnson is the worst player in the NBA without a doubt.

 

Wes Johnson > Jodie Meeks

 

DeAndre Jordan is gonna get the most improved award.

But Hawes is on FIYAH.

 

Ryan Anderson is ballin out of his mind. If he keeps it up, I think he should win it. He wasn't bad last year, though.

 

Not gonna do the obvious Knick troll...it is too easy.

I will just post this:

A Pic from tonight's game:

 

Jordan is swatting everything in sight, but I'm not sure an improvement in only blocks is good enough to win MIP. Who does the voting for MIP? If it's the media, he won't win imo.

 

Pic not working for me.

 

Damn, this Barea injury is ****ing the Wolves. The word instant offense was used to describe Barea and tonight was sorely missed. In the 4th QT Wolves didn't score for 4+ mins allowing a 15-0 run. The fact we have Ridnour playing SG speaks volumes on how much of a ****ty player Wes Johnson is. Even if he played his natural position SF he still would be throwing up bricks nightly.
