NBA: 2011-2012 Season News and Discussion Thread
 

Here we go...




LeHeat for the title! :O

And undefeated...! :O

triple header on X-mas!!! Can't wait.

Short season Armageddon will come when Lebron wins his title this season !

but all the players are out of shape from sitting around playing Call of Duty :rofl:

I hope the Bulls fucking murder the Lakers, only because Derek Fisher Pied-Pipered the NBPA to go along with this lockout bullshit. :annoyed:

Serious, I want Murder 1 charged on every Bull by night's end! :tantrum:

great,...another *asterisk* champ just like the *'99 spurs* :thumbsdow

:scratch:

:moon:

GO LAKERS!!! :snicker:

Even if I got free court-side season tickets to any team... screw 'em. I hate the NBA.

***Hell yes! I'm expecting an email from the Trailblazer season pass department...Friday, 7:00 PM, Dec. 16, 2011. Seat 1, section 203!!!! Already bought the parking pass.
Yea baby!!!

:thumbsup: GO LAKERS!

Though I do sorta agree that Fisher needs to go....

^Should be a good season as players like Kobe have been working to keep in shape during this little time out. But, God only knows how Blake will fit in...

:nod: Why even have a season? :dunno:

Yup, I had high hopes for him (I still kinda do, as I've always thought he was pretty good). In Mike Brown's system, he's going to need his 3 point shot to start working again like it did in Portland.

Do you think Brandon Roy is going to stay up there?

Is there going to be an abbreviated free agency period?

Yes I think so. Its gonna be crazy.

There will be some players waived, some players placed on the amnesty waiver, some players that have said they want out. I can't wait to see how it pans out.

Any key players hitting free agency...?

Dwight, CP3, and Deron are the big names that are either up for FA or 1 year from it (i.e. if they don't get traded, their teams will get nothing for them).

Then there's the whole amnesty thing....some players might be waived to either get under the cap or reduce luxury tax load. Baron Davis might be waived (Cavs drafted Kyrie Irving), so there is talk of him coming to the Lakers (meh). Teams may waive players with big contracts, which means a host of veteran players will be on the market, looking to join a winner.

Lakers might waive MWP and/or Luke Walton....any takers? :biggrin:

OIC...Dwight, Deron, C3PO all to the LeHeat!

Joking aside...I wonder what's available for Chicago at shooting guard because, IMO, that's the biggest area of need.

D-Rose can't do everything.

:what: This is a startling revelation.

I hear Sasha Vujacic is in Turkey, ready to annoy people.

Here are some amnesty options. If you are looking for a 2 guard (shooting guard), there are plenty of options. Not sure who would mesh with D-Rose though. He's a ball dominant point guard, so the guy you want is good shooter and a great defender. That way you'd get the benefit of spacing and drive-and-kick shooting as well as keeping DRose's energy conserved on defense.

...then again, what do I know....here's the link:

Can not wait!!

:nod:

Dec 25th needs to come ASAP!!!

Lakers Pre-game!

Lets go Lakers!!
:woot:

Clippers mollied all over the Lakers.

:spit:

No Yum, David stern did that. Institutional Lakers hate...

yay Lakers! :D


ohh and :rofl: @ World Peace :jesuslol:

^NOPE

Derrick fuckin' Rose, y'all! :D

at least leheat won...

Did LeSucky Rose clinch the win for Da Bulls?!? Oh yes, he did. :nod:

And :woot: @ LeHeat winning! :woot:

Sweet game! DRose came through.

But throughout, the Lakers actually looked like they hustled and played well. Oh well, chalk up another christmas loss! :biggrin: More reason to drink up last night...

Good win because Miami players came in shape. The Mavs will gel and get better even though no Chandler in the middle sure helps Miami.

^^I dunno Doom....no Chandler and no Barea is a HUGE difference. They're pretty much back to being the Mavs before those 2 joined...no inside presence and no speedy PG.

IMO, its wide open for the Heat to win this year. The west is up for grabs and I don't see anyone matching the Heat over there, unless some sort of major trade goes down somewhere. But even then, the Heat having been together for a year and through the playoffs gives them a leg up on any players that get together this year.

:haha: Lakers

:kinggrin:

Man Norris Cole out of Cleveland St. Another great Cleveland import. :D

:madfawk:

OoO Norris Cole.

Lakers finally get the W.

Kings :what: ass rapped last night against Portland.

Bulls lost to GS the day after they beat the Lakers :rofl:
