Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

With Steph Curry, Andrew Bogut, and David Lee on the team, you can forget about health.

The Warriors are kind of sneaky deep if they are healthy though.

 

I dont see rivers doing anything this year....dude just takes horrible shots

 

where is he going to play? I'm guessing the James Harden/Jason Terry role? Him at point would be terrible

 

Wolves are gonna be fun to watch this year

I don't see Barnes winning ROY, but he's gonna put in work. I like him in GS.

 

They plan to start him and Gordon in the backcourt together so yes, at the 1. He looked HORRIBLE during summer league doing it too. Not only was he turning the ball over left and right, he spent more time on the ground than Wade does always trying to draw contact and split defenders, thinking he's big **** in the L and gonna get those calls or something.

 

It's looking like a another rebuilding year for Orlando. Possibly worse than the 21-61 season :x

I say either Beal or MKG for ROY and Chandler Parsons for MIP

 

I highly doubt that Rivers starts.

Like eight minutes a game playing "point guard," all off the bench. Maybe more depending on a favorable matchup.

 

A Derrick Rose smile...I'm floored!

yeah dwill needs a team where he's the clear number one option as pf. he doesn't have the foot speed to guard sf's. i just hope kahn finds a good sf with some potenital.

kinda weird kahn MIGHT trade every top draft pick he's acquired besides Rubio

 

ROY - Lillard, MIP - Parsons And by the grace of god BRoy will be back like he never left

 

I think Bogut will be ok. Most of his injuries were just freak accidents.

 

@ you people picking anyone over Anthony Davis for ROY.

MAYBE MKG, but I doubt it.

I refuse to give up on Derrick Williams. Dude got zero burn last year.

 

Care to elaborate? He's already a high-quality rebounder at the next level if nothing else. Paired with DMC to make one of the best young, young front-courts in the NBA. Also like the ceiling for the Monroe and Drummond pairing.

Of course I'm going to say Williams hasn't gotten a fair shake in Minny thus far, but the other problem is his lack of a natural NBA position. He's not quite quick enough to play the 3, not quite strong enough to bang with the 4s.

 

Harrison Barnes = Jason Richardson

 

Na young JR had way more bounce and overall athleticism than Barnes.
He also wasn't 6'8 and I like Barnes mid range game better

 

how?

 

Nah

 

Good, strong athletes with a good perimeter game, not enough handles to consistently get to the rim, create separation or create for others. Stil pretty good but not great scorers. Decent defenders. Not contributing much if their shot isn't falling.

There are some differences between them but the comparison isn't bad. What is so far off about it?

 

thank you. my main concerns with harrison barnes are his lack of iso ability, lack of an elite first step to consistently get to the basket and getting to the free throw line. i think the areas where he will be getting buckets will be very similar to JR such as being a spot-up shooter, cutting to the basket, and transition. I also think he will be an above average defender similar to JR even though he's a rookie.

Kings getting ready to turn in another 50+ loss season



I know this team has potential if they could get it together (Mainly just Tyreke Evans), but I'm still not very optimistic. Oh well I'm still going to cherish this TURRIBLE season because we dont have to many more here. |I

 

lol @ gerald green being a good pick up. 10 million for 3 years. they gave a dude who couldnt even stay in the league and make a lakers team last year who had friggin steve blake and trash off the bench 10 mill lol

and wow just looking at that heat team on paper good lord.... how many 3 point shooters they got ?? shane battier, ray allen, rashard lewis, mike miller, james jones, chalmers.... damn... even bosh can hit that three. that team is gonna be hard to beat.

 

i wish the real life warriors played as good as the nba 2k12 warriors :/

so nobody wanted beidrins huh?

 

There's gonna be a lot of rookies with good debuts, but I still have Davis taking ROY.

& with Gerald Green, he improved a lot since his struggles in the league... He has a better overall game now. His shot is a lot better, especially his 3 ball. He can still get to the rim & his IQ is a lot better... He makes smarter plays out there.

He's not gonna be a go to guy on the team or anything, but I think he'll help Indy this year.
