Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

We can just agree that ESPN's basketball talking heads suck. Only guy I could stand on their was Wilbon, but he seems emasculated sitting next to Magic Johnson

This. they're a pain to watch

I really hope the NBC network does something with basketball, I enjoy TNT, but having NBC back in the game would be great. They have the Sports Illustrated people, and I think they could put a really good respectable show together. Plus we get to hear this...

NBC is in bed with Yahoo, not SI. Basketball wise at least.

Didn't know that, don't know much about Yahoo!'s basketball coverage, but i'm assuming its pretty good to be attached to NBC

 

[fray salters]

How about Kevin Martin being wide open at the top of the key when Russ takes that shot....

 

[Peep Game]

Turiaf has been dying for a slam like that

Scumbag Barnes

First of all Simmons isn't an advanced stat nerd at all. He devoted an entire chapter of his book to what he calls "The Secret" in which he basically used 5 times as many words as necessary to say that team chemistry is important, like he was the first person ever to make that discovery.

Second of all the guy sitting across the table from him, Magic Johnson, was one of the greatest players ever and is one of the worst analysts ever so there goes that theory that being good at playing = being good at writing or speaking about the game.

Why won't George Karl let Jordan Hamilton be great ?

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Undefeated.

 

[CP1708]

Because he's George Karl.

So glad the Nuggets shipped out AAA and brought in Iguodala.

Exactly.

Iguodala is whack tho

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Iguodala is whack tho

It was sarcasm. I've been saying the trade was bad for the Nuggets since the day it happened.

Iguodala blows.

Iguodala is whack tho

obvious sarcasm is blatantly obvious.

to be fair I thought Iggy would be tight in Denver, I was wrong

 

[powerballin]

ESPN has put together a terrible panel

 

[Deleted member 38182]

yall are triipin bout Bill Simmons 

 

[noblekane]

you just riding with him cuz he hate the lakers. lol that guy dont belong out there.

id rather hear timmy hardaway lol

wonder what would happen if you put a crew of magic, tim hardaway, isaiah thomas, sean elliot, with stuart scott...

would every humans head explode simultaneously?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

This is true, that's what put me on him at first. But dude is hilarious. 

To be honest that whole panel kinda stinks, whenever they talk about the old NBA its always the same, Magic-Lakers, Wilbon-Bulls, Jalen-Pistons, Simmons-Celtics. Its straight up homer talk every single time 

 

[dt43]

i was wondering who that weird looking white guy was... So who did he blow to get a spot on tv? son is the most akward thing on television right now

It just occurred to me that there are probably a good number of viewers who have no idea who Bill Simmons is.. I don't mind him too much, but I imagine a bunch of people are like "where the hell did this random shrimpy white dude come from"

So did I. Guy was coming off a high year, and immediately fell right back down.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

^when was the last time the Clips played on Xmas??

2009, 2011

Oh ok I do remember 2011. Why were they on in 2009 


I miss when the Kings would be on for Christmas 

Blake was drafted that year and you know what happened.

 

[duba169]

I don't understand the Simmons hate. I complain about damn near everything and he doesn't both me

The jerseys need to be changed. Very distracting.

SMH at one replay on Russ's last shot. I know it's "entertainment"

You and everybody else
