2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

As log 1 of the top 3 land in Philly or Sactown. I love some of the pieces those teams have.

Brandon Jennings sucks

i would be using expletives but i dont feel like getting banned because of some bum

 

[datznasty]

I like the Magic's young core better, and you can get rid of Afflalo's contract if you want to (Thunder would be a decent potential partner). Celtics, should they fail to make the postseason, have a nice mix of mature young players and vets, Lakers would be an easy choice to give the #1 pick to and take Wiggins and he becomes instant star and next Kobe. Sacramento gets the pick and who is their mentor, DeMarcus Cousins? John Salmons? Bunch of me first players that don't even fit, then my only issue with Portland was the injury curse. Randle in Dallas wouldn't be a bad look either

 

[rck3sactown]

Yes John Salmons is a huge part of the Kings and is definitely in their long term plans.

Definitely.

O
Off topic, where'd you play in hs?

The LA/OC prep hoops scene is a small world

It definitely is I played at Dorsey High 06/07 - 09/10. You?

That's what's up. I played for servite class of 05. Same league as mater dei, Santa margarita, st john bosco etc.

My mom went to Dorsey. Still got her dons varsity jacket for cheerleading

It was even 20 years ago when I was playing. Always playing the same AAU/traveling teams and in the same tournaments. That's why I knew guys like Toby Bailey, the O'Bannon brothers, Baron Davis, etc. before they got to college.

wow man. You just aged yourself. Crossroads was nice back then when they had Baron.

Toby Bailey dude was nice. Sad that Charles and Ed never really panned out.

Same with the Cravens but that was later on.

 

[marath0n]

Pre internet/mixtape era the juice was Schea Cotton as well.

Schea
Used to hoop with his little bro Lloyd. Speaking of Mater Dei, whatever happened to Bozeman?

 

[friscostylez]

this kansas vs duke game though

 

[datznasty]

Jason Thompson apparently is though.

 

[cliffordsmith]

Jabari Parker is noiceeee

 

[marath0n]

Parker is downright nasty

 

[rck3sactown]

I highly doubt much of the team is in the long term plans outside of DMC and Mclemore.

The new regime are gonna do what it wants, not the Maloofs.

Jason Thompson kinda reminds me of Nick Collison right around the time Durant was getting in the league

and if he is actually still on the Kings in like 5 years and the Kings are actually decent by then, that would be pretty damn dope.

 

[blastercombo]

The pistons are garbage. Never should they be on television EVER

 

[CHAOSE57]

Parker :x :x

 

[tommyicerocking]

Wiggins doesn't play anything like T-mac

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

FlatbushFiyah23 Good interview thanks for posting it

Thanks man! I figured people would want to see it.

For those asking about the next player out of NYC it could be Isaiah Whitehead who I mentioned in the interview and is from Lincoln High School. Same school as Marbury, Telfair and Lance.

Here is an interview I did with Isiah Whitehead after he announced he would be playing at Seton Hall next year:

Cedric Bozeman? Wowww haven't heard his name in a minute that's taking it back to Jason Kapono and Earl watson days

Random but I saw Crenshaw in their prime when they were sporting D1 and NBA guys left and right and I saw Gilbert Arenas in the playoffs Drop an easy 50 on them and they still lost I also remember Baron Davis at Crossroads going into Crenshaw and playing them as well. I was young as hell though

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

Double post.

 

[cliffordsmith]

I still think Parker will go top 2.

 

[champcruthik]

Bari might go 1, and it has nothing to do with this game in particular.

 

[tsamshox]

God I hope the Kings tank and Draft Bari

 

[cliffordsmith]

Kings got McLemore and won't let him develop by starting him.

Wth happened to TROB though. This guy been on 3 teams already and makin no noise.

 

[wavycrocket]

I tried to tell dudes y'all were sleeping on Parker.

I have a feeling Mclemore will start tomorrow against your Nets.


Throb was hit with the Curse of the Maloofs.

Blame them.

 

[cliffordsmith]

Celtics better not make playoffs.

 

[ballinsam23]

Ben-Bari-Cousins

Ben-???-Randle-Cousins
