Official 2012-2013 NBA Thread

[ajooo]

thought i'd start this up since i know theres quite a few nba fans on here.

thoughts on the season so far?

[holden]

man, do the lakers suck... their offense is mediocre at best and nobody but dwight is playing defense...

there doesn't seem to be a dominant team yet.. all the powerhouses have struggled, Miami, OKC, San Antonio and Boston...

[AaronK]

Miami is the team to beat this year for sure. Theyre lookin pretty solid so far.

[Anton]

I'm not quite sure if I saw Miami really struggle yet. They look great. Unlike the Lakers.

Excited to see what Brooklyn does this year! Was a big Nets fan when Jason Kidd was there. Picked myself up a Brooklyn Nets sweater this year.

Miami...?

They are 4-1 and have won the last two games by 55 points. The loss to the knicks was just a melo show.

I'm impressed how the bulls are doing without my #1 Deeee Rose. I want him back

Maybe struggle wasn't the right word, but they were a play away from losing to Denver and starting the season 1-2. Also, until last night's win over BK, they were letting opponents score well over 100 points per game.

Miami has changed from slower pace, half court team to an up-tempo, run and gun team.

This
They really need to fire mike brown.
Also their bench blows. They need to keep jamison and jordan hill, and get rid of the rest of the bench.

Again this is just my opinion.

[ajooo]

hmm.. coming from a big lakers fan i wouldnt say they completely suck.

its 5 games in the season, with half of the team being new faces and a new offense. i personally think the offense isnt the problem, but defensive consistency is definitely top of the list.

also, i dont know what to think about mike brown, but he needs to step it up.. especially with rumors of Jerry Sloan wanting the job haha

[LongCity]

Spurs got spanked last night but other than that I would rank Spurs 1 and Miami 2. Minnesota and Chicago are big surprises so far and as for Brooklyn... They are the Brooklyn Nots. The Lakers... Not much else to say for the moment as the season is still young but they have a Kobe and with that, anything is possible.

I know I won't hear the end of it but I'm a big raptors fan even though they suck.

It was awesome having lowry. Now that he's injured it looks like the old raptors again.

I'm a huge bargnani fan but I think it's time to change things up. They should trade away bargnani and calderon while they are worth something. They just signed derozen so they will be keeping him.

[4doorj]

Oh and forgot to mention. Harden is killing it!!!! I knew he was good but didnt know he could pull numbers like that.

Laker's fans prayers have been answered:

Mike Brown fired

Horray!

[max_boost]

Who is next? Bring back Phillip!

[ajooo]

jerry sloan, phil, or brian shaw would be nice

[403ep3]

I haven't watched this much basketball for years, stupid hockey!

I do enjoy keeping up with basketball now, mainly because of a friends fantasy league.

I'm not surprised MB finally got fired. Hopefully Nash can orchestrate that offence when he gets back. I don't like the lakers but I have Nash and Kobe in my pool

[sexualbanana]

Minnesota's been a really fun team to watch this year

[pyroza]

Mike D'Antoni is the new Lakers head coach. Hahahahahaha

Stan Van Gundy would've been way funnier.

[ajooo]

sigh, i would've loved to see phil back on the team. but d'antoni is an upgrade either way.
