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

[cash money 1999]

 
Not really a prediction.

I look at it more of a fact!

Bulsl barely beat a BKN team without KG, PIERCE, TERRY, KIRELENKO and a better Brook Lopez.

You telling me Chi just adding Derrick Rose back makes the additions of those players worthless?

***** please.

So many DROSE/BULLS riders in this thread. Damb.. 

jason terry sucked last year...and you say "better" brook lopez as if jimmy butler is going to regress or something....

plus tony snell gonna stretch the floor and give them quality minutes

and yes adding a league MVP in their prime is a KINDA big deal....not to mention deng wasnt 100 percent

 

[champcruthik]

Brooklyn looks strong on paper, but it's difficult to account for Chicago under Thibs. Bulls play hard every second of every game. Energy, hustle, never say die attitude. Defensive philosophy is grinding and frustrating for opponents.

Barely? they shouldnt have evem come close to beating them. That team was buns, Nets played like complete and utter trash and you know it.

If you dont think Bulls are better with Rose then LOL and im not even a Rose fan at all.

Yall are forgetting just because Rose was out and Heat dominating the East that the Bulls are clear cut 2nd best team in the east easily.


EDIT: and LOL at you bringing up players who WEREN'T even on the roster... who does that?

 

[drewsone]

Why do you have Indy there instead of Chicago?

Just wondering.

Dunno.. just a hunch. But this is a preseason prediction. So yeah. D. Rose looks great, and the Bulls will definitely be good. They probably might end up with the first seed. If it's not Indy then I'd say Chicago. I'm not a firm believer in the Nets yet

Like I said it's a very premature prediction (I'm saying Heat in Finals no matter what because that's my squad) but my opinion will probably change as the season pans out.

I agree but i don't think its only on paper Brooklyn looks strong. Gotta look at the whole picture with this team D.Will could have a J.Kidd like season when he first came to NJ Nets that would be crazy the talent around is sick everyone has a jumper in the starting 5....that's hard to guard pick your poison on you wanna stick.. 

 

[Bert.]

Deron will be great this season. watch. dudes will be putting him up there right behind CP3 again.

I just dont trust Joe Johnson and Pierce. JJ mostly tho

Yea i hope D.Will will be back to shape and people will remember at one point it was him n CP3 running the league. Now i hear all this D.Rose rules the world talk...i still not a big fan of Rose i respect his game most def but as a PG Nope...........

 

[illmatic34]

Nets to me are the biggest question mark out of the top 4 teams in the East. Of course the roster seems solid on paper, but if they're not handled accordingly KG and Pierce might be damaged goods and/or worn out come playoff time. Kidd as a coach also seems questionable to me. Vogel, Thibs, and Spoelstra are all established so they'll definitely have an upper hand when it comes to crunch time situations and whatnot. And Deron is gonna have to up his game to where he was at before if they wanna win at all. Shame on me for thinking he was actually better than CP3 back in his Jazz days.

Tony who?

Terry shot the same FG% as he did in his previous year as a Mav.

Celtics were all kinds of messed up last season. Everyone went down, people got traded away, no PG on the roster, no Ray. 

They basically gave up last season. Terry shot the same FG%... He going to be lights out. With a better team.

Deron, Joe, Pierce, KG, Brook..... any of these 5 can Score on their own.

Jimmy Butler is just a good defender. He'll never be a liable offensive weapon. He just another Tony Allen. 

MVP??? C'mon bro... everyone knows that the only reason he won MVP was because Chicago Defense with Thibs coming in. He had the most PPG on that team and they had best record. Thats the only reason he won MVP. He didn't do anything special.

No one else in the NBA was in the runnings for MVP.

Bron was teamed up with DWADE so nobody felt he deserved it. 

Most FG attempts in the League and you not even in the League's top 3 in scoring. Just pathetic.

If Westbrook was on CHI that season he would've been MVP. Same thing if Monte Ellis was on CHI he would've been MVP. Best Record in the League and all they gotta do is AVG 25 PPG... easy!!! 

Dont give me that MVP thing and than choke in the playoffs the way he DID.. FOH!!!!

I mean C'mon... 2nd Place in MVP voting was Dwight Howard.. nobody in the NBA was worthy of an MVP award that season. So Team with best records, best player gets it.

Nets are a ??? cause its a new built team, As KG said before you better "RESPECT his craft" saying that only make me believe he is ready to ball for a long time. If the Truth and KG stay injury free its a plus for the Nets. J Kidd was a coach on the court like P.Manning is a coach on the field i hope no one will question P.Manning once he step to the side line. We can't forget how Kidd took the NETS twice to the final just balling out there freely. You wasn't so wrong to say D.Will was better then CP3 think about it once got shipped to the Nets playing on the bum team set him back...Watch the wicked cross over with a J will be back......

Repped.

KG and Truth can never be counted out. They'll still produce. 

LAC is under rated going into the season. Doc is gonna have them boys right and ready to play. They coming out the West.

 

[drewsone]

Don't think you're giving Rose enough credit lol. And I also don't think he's just Monta on a good team.

And idk. BK looks good on paper, and even if they end up very good in the season I think I'm still going to be skeptical.

Doc. is gonna have hands full gotta turn lob city into play D city...lol....can you you really make that happen...

I'm not sleeping on Rose right now, as a PG real talk doesn't he really move the ball and set people up its a personal hightlight on ESPN...lol

 

[mitchellicious]

I'm so keen for the season to start! I got second pick in my fantasy draft too!


Why does rck have a 3 in his name now? Did he get banned and make a new account?

I made a separate clone/troll account for @NATRIX916 and it got linked back to me and I got a 1 month ban.

Contrary to the bull **** @NobleKane had been spewing out, i'm just kidding playa you my boy still

But I am back now, and hopefully with a good 12 months I get my OG name back

Its not lob city anymore.

Darren Collison balls... he use to backup cp3 in NO... he'll serve as backup again... Clippers are deep. Doc and Alvin Gentry together will make it work.

 

[rck3sactown]

Also, I'm taking names of who is posting in here...

Lets see who is still vested in this season in the middle of March.

And lets see who is back when playoffs start

Furthermore, where is @JapanAir21??? I seriously miss that dude

Alvin Gentry may be back lluck for this team be careful. D Collison isn't nice he gotta do this thing.....

Oh so because I'm saying I like and respect Rose that automatically makes me someone who just watches ESPN highlights and has no basketball knowledge? Lol.
What you said is irrelevant to what I posted about. I didn't say that he's a great distributor. I just think he's better than Monta so I don't see the comparisons. I also didn't even say that he's the best PG in the league.

Just said that some of you guys aren't giving him the credit. Dunno why there's so much hate on him right now. But you can go back on your high horse

i wouldn't go that far and say that you have every right to have a opinion on the matter people need to understand that and respect it....

I respect your comments on Rose and don't think your wrong but we can debate about how nice he really will be this coming season....

Well I think he'll be solid. Lol. He can set up others but I don't think he's in that CP3 breed of guards.
