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

Really happy for Portland.

Looks like Mo Williams actually helps them , while we stuck with Bayless sorry *** . McCollum not even playing and I expect him to be a nice contributor going forward as well. What's the deal with Freeland playing over Leonard? Is Leonard that bad?

Leonard really is that bad at this point in his career. He needs serious development. His game is comparative to javale Magee when he was with the wizards. Just constant bone headed, head scratching plays. He doesn't have any sort of consistent niche that would get him minutes on any team. He shoots very poorly, with no strong post up or go-to offensive move. He can't guard a gum ball machine and he has extremely poor basketball IQ.

He's freakishly athletic, and a strong body that at times can push people around but he needs serious work to make it in this league and sadly, I don't think he's improved at all since last season.

Freeland does just enough to get burn. Doesn't turn the ball over, makes good decisions when he's in, has been shooting decent for his limited minutes etc.

Who do y'all think is the best center in the L this season?

Well 12.5 and 9 rebounds doesnt make you the best anything in the NBA IMO

Dwight is still averaging 16.6 points and 12.6 rebounds, so while those numbers are down for him, Hibbert has never even come close to matching either of those stats

Demarcus Cousins is definitely high on that list.

Al Jefferson has been playing well too

Brooke Lopez is scoring, but his 6 rebounds a game are trash

Drummond>Lopez

Is Luke Babbitt still on the team? I remember him getting a decent amount of time last season and always shooting way more 3s than he should have.

LaMarcus is the best bigmen this season

Nah bruh, since this one will be straight to DVD the producers want someone more affordable with similar clutch abilities as
MJ.

They've put an offer on the table to Mr. Horry...

[licensed to ball]

Yes. 'After Earth' bombing so badly in the theaters has brought down his value significantly.

[bhzmafia14]

bhzmafia14 Is Z-Bo playing tonight? I know he sat out a couple games ago.

It will be a game time decision. I don't think he will, though. Apparently, the in grown toenail was painful a few days ago. I don't expect him to be better that quick.

Speaking of Zbo...

Grizz vs Clippers again tonight

Man you dudes kill me man, you get a pipe dream in going from Lin as your #1-2 option to getting Harden and Howard in less than a year to go along with him, yet you still creating scenario's to get the best PF in the game right now without touching your 3 biggest assets.

chill out mane, I know it will never happen, hence pipe dream

 

[freeze]

I'm lost, are the blazers actual contenders this year? how did this happen?? my homegirl is a die hard blazer fan and now i have to hear her mouth and read her b posts, see the pix after every win. blah

 

[Coupé It]

How are you supposed to come out with Space Jam 2 starring LeBron, when his attitude would drive him to most likely leave the toon squad for the monstars?

No sense.
