This Wojnarowski article about the Clippers is crazy. As promising as that team is, you gotta figure Sterling will find some way to mess things up.

If we assume Bledsoe isn't backing up Dragic but rather playing next to him, I would wonder what this list would look like.He's not.He's not?Can't wait for the 'Lin is the best backup PG' campaign.
Best backup PGs
1. Avery Bradley
2. Jarrett Jack
3. Andre Miller
4. Isaiah Thomas
5. Darren Collison (?)
6. Mo Williams
I draw the line somewhere between Thomas and Collison, and I'm granting old man Miller a LOT of credit. So Lin is probably backup PG #3 or 4, right?

Someone should bump the Lin thread from the peak Linsanity era for some laughs.

Ah, nerd debates about who ranks behind Avery Bradley and Jarrett Jack as the best backup PGs. Excellent.

They are both giving you below average production. Give me the veteran guy that'll play a little D and not have a negative win share in the playoffs

Why can't we have a frackin' new thread? Tired of this 1150 pages of garbage. Get a fresh one for 2013/2014 Dribbles.

Why would we need more than 1 yearly football thread? Looks like we might have one in the Shark Pool starting soon.

I agree. Each season should have a new thread.
The NBA on TNT is back in 5 minutes!!! LOVE Charles, Jet, Shaq, and Ernie! They are hilarious and the most entertaining group of broadcasters on air! They just gel! Watching them on HLN live getting set up!
Anyone catch Charles Barkley on Letterman last night?? Letterman says we are all tired of the Kobe Bryant saga. CB says don't have to worry about it this year, Lakers aren't going to be any good this year so no need to talk about the Lakers or Kobe Bryant at all. He's just such a funny dude! Apparently there's this player who is "the next Le Bron" that everyone is going to want to get so he thinks many teams like the Lakers are going to tank so they have a shot at him.
Bulls vs Heat then Lakers vs Clippers. First though will be the ring ceremony for the Heat!

Why are the Lakers on tonight?
There are about 20 interesting teams in the NBA and about 10 very good teams. The Lakers are neither.

Last night was Christmas Eve for me, love the beginning of the NBA season.
My very early predictions for the season (obvious is to choose any team that includes LeBron, but I'm going to be contrarian):
West
1. Clippers (depth and Doc allow for excellent regular season)
2. Spurs (consumate pro organization, Leonard emerges as front line guy)
3. Rockets (very dangerous if perimeter guys all pan out - Parsons/Casspi/Garcia)
4. Grizzlies (still good, but transitioning a bit as ZBo ages)
5. OKC (will struggle without Westbrook, but experience helps young guys)
6. GSW (Most fun team to watch in the league)
7. New Orleans (Davis about to become a star, added lots of talent)
8. TWolves (Love and Rubio healthy for full season)
OKC vs. Spurs in West Finals, with OKC prevailing (Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka on a mission, and young guys contribute just enough to get past the Spurs)
East
1. Bulls (Thibs will drive this team hard - Rose back and Butler emerged)
2. Heat (biding time until playoffs)
3. Pacers (very solid team, can they be elite?)
4. Nets (who knows how this plays out)
5. Knicks (not enough horses to get into top 4)
6. Cleveland (youth matures and becomes playoff team)
7. Atlanta (solid group, bottom of East is poor)
8. Washington (best of the remaining mediocre to terrible East teams)
Bulls vs. Heat in East Finals, Bulls win (Heat just worn down after 3 seasons of deep runs)
OKC vs. Bulls, with Bulls edging them in 7 (OKC weakness in the middle and lack of depth is their undoing)

Shaq knows what's up. Bobcats as the 8 seed (though, he's still a tad low on them)

Love both teams. SA had their chance but in game 6 of the finals, Heat pulled it off to create game 7. I won't hold my breath for SA this season but will for Miami!Good thing for you San Antonio didn't win. Oh wait.We are the champions! Go Miami!!! 3-peat!!

This delay of game call for touching the ball after it goes through the net seems pretty silly. I've seen one in each game now.

Bradley had a .461 TS% and a single digit PER, he might be a stud defensively but he is lost on the offensive end. I would probably put Lin right with THomas, Miller and Jack for battle of the best backup PG. Collison was benched for Mike James, so he doesn't belong on this list. I also think Ridnour deserves to be mentioned.Abraham said:If we assume Bledsoe isn't backing up Dragic but rather playing next to him, I would wonder what this list would look like.Cliff Clavin said:He's not.Abraham said:He's not?Cliff Clavin said:Can't wait for the 'Lin is the best backup PG' campaign.Abraham said:Notorious T.R.E. said:
