*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (5 Viewers)

[Cliff Clavin]

Can you guys leave a link to the best blog of the team you follow? I'll list them all in the 1st post of this thread. I like reading game previews from the others team perspective but there is just a crap ton of ####ty ones to filter through. I find it interesting how wildly off some of the blogs can be about Toronto (I assume this applies to most teams that the bloggers don't see often).

Golden State of Mind is the big one for the Dubs, I think.

It's December folks. These games are virtually meaningless. Those predicting the Cavs demise are overreacting.

They're still the favorites to win it all, under 4-1 (15-4) at Bovada....

I mean, when is their ####ty play and injuries going to reflect in the odds so I can bet them already

I thought that said Feather Sword and spent at least thirty seconds trying to figure out what team it was for. My best guess was the Pelicans.

Anyway - clutch fans for rockets.

I usually read Sactown Royalty and Bullets Forever, but neither has been great since Tom Ziller and Mike Prada got promoted to the SB Nation mothership.

Pistons 3-0 since Josh Smith waived. Average margin of victory 18.7 points per game.

More importantly, they're playing Stan Van Gundy basketball, spreading the floor and hitting 3s all over the place. Long way to go but it's nice to see them playing the way I envisioned when SVG was hired.

How the #### do the Bulls get crushed at home by Brooklyn?

How the #### do the Bulls get crushed at home by Brooklyn?

Brooks Lopez and Deron Williams both reappeared!

 

[Juxtatarot]

How the #### do the Bulls get crushed at home by Brooklyn?

It was due to Rose's 2-15 shooting, Butler's 3-12 or Pau's 4-12.

Bulls have pretty much sucked at home this year unless they are playing a good team.

LeBron hand picked the team and the additions including the coach. By coasting or saving himself for the stretch run he is just being typical entitlement LeBron.

How could anyone hope to succeed with the self appointed alpha male basically mailing it in and suggesting that the team needs to get better (but not LeBron)?

What he needs to do is lead by example. Only problem is he's too talented to do that. He's much too entitled to accept responsibility for his poor play (read: poor for a leader) and he's certainly too proud to admit that Riley and Spolestra deserve the lions share of the credit for the Miami success.

This post is awful.

If you could dispute even one single part of it you would have already. I wonder if you'll prove to be more or less of a chicken#### than little Tobi F.

Didn't watch the game but brooks getting ejected early in the game with hinrich already out certainly didn't help things.

Where are the Kobe-haters saying he almost got a quadruple-double? Disappointing.

Bullets Forever (SB Nation) and Truth About It.net are the two best Wizards ones.

I'd be interested in twitter feeds too, esp bloggers and other non-beat writers who write from more of a fan perspective. I know the various SB Nation ones are pretty good for most teams, including the Wiz- Mike Prada was great before he was promoted to his new role as the Zach Lowe of SB Nation. My current favorite Wiz follows are @ConorDDirks and @Broom_Kevin for insight and always @wzzntzz for absurdity.

the bucks news i read is from the milwaukee journal sentinel webpagei think if you type in milwaukee bucks blog on google it is one of the top three they have pretty good stories and stay current which is about all you can ask for take that to the bank bromigo

 

[SWC]

for instance they have a story that the bucks are trying to sign kenyon martin right now i do not know how that would work out since i was unaware they let guys on social security play for nba games take that to the bank brohans

Another I-clique candy ### who can't come up with anything better than ignore. I'm sure your kids have lots of ribbons.

 

[Abraham]

I have daughters. They have tons of ribbons.

 

[TobiasFunke]

I had to un-ignore to see what you were talking about. What a huge dooshbag. I'll absorb pretty much any insult thrown my way around here, but bringing people's kids/parenting into it is over the line.

 

[Dondante]

I have daughters. They have tons of ribbons.

I'm sure they do. Do they also believe LeBron is above reproach?

You're priceless, Tobes.

 

[DrJ]

So Lebron is now the coach of the Cavs along with being the GM? This will end well.

 

[DrJ]

How the #### do the Bulls get crushed at home by Brooklyn?

Didn't watch the game but brooks getting ejected early in the game with hinrich already out certainly didn't help things.

Shooting like they did in the 4th quarter against the Pacers for almost an entire game was a bigger problem. I was thinking that Mirotic should have got some more time to stretch things out a little bit with them doing everything they could to stop Buckets and Rose from getting their way in the paint, but he was horrible too.

 

[Abraham]

I have daughters. They have tons of ribbons.

Haven't asked. They are rockets fans and very small.

 

[DrJ]

So Lebron is already talking about possibly reuniting with Wade? Gee, who would have ever thought something like that could happen the way he structured his contract. Oh wait, the FFA assured me that he's in Cleveland for good now.

http://probasketball...partner=ya5nbcs

Guy's going to come off as a real jackass when he sinks the Cavaliers franchise a 2nd time.

 

[Bobcat10]

You're right he'll look like a real jackass, again, probably worse.

 

[MAC_32]

Anyone that trusted him only has themselves to blame.

Although there is the Wade to Cleveland angle. Doesn't he have a player option after this season too? Let Love walk then sign Wade.

Never should have traded Wiggins. Trade for Love, cool, but don't use Wiggins. If Minnesota said Wiggins or no deal then walk away.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

In 2 years, how many games will Wade be able to play? 7?

 

[Joe Summer]

I think Lebron is trolling us.

 

[Spartans Rule]

I dunno about that. It's not like Wiggins has been an instant superstar. He's got a lot of work to do.

Love has been disappointing but I think Cleveland's got a better chance of keeping LeBron and building a title contender now than they would have if they didn't make that trade.

 

[SWC]

hey brohans i know it is early but i feel like the bucks really got the guy in this draft in jabari parker i just think he is going to be better than wiggens but hey no matter what i am glad that they did not pull a dondante and make a mess of it take that to the bank bromigos

This team needs defense. Something Wiggins does and Love does not. His issues on offense would be easier to mask with this supporting cast.

 

[SWC]

we will see if the bucks can hold it but they are up twenty pointerinos right now looking pretty good right now but hey no labron so it only goes so far bromigos
