NBA Week One Thread

[Vegas.]

I suggest you all read this article on truehoop. Some very interesting stuff in there.

Just read the preceding article, about to read the one you linked now. Very, very interesting.

That's over-stating it a bit...West is 28, and doesn't exactly rely on athleticism. Paul and Chandler are younger. The rest are really peripheral players.

If Julian Wright comes on as I expect, they'll be challenging for at least another 5 years...well, probably 10 years, let's face it, any team with Chris Paul will be up there.

They do have two fairly glaring weakneses though imo:

Lack of support at PF/C behind West/Chandler

Lack of a second creative player after CP3

I would love to see a guy like Sean Williams at NOH. Could fix a lot of their depth issues, provides good D and would mesh brilliantly with CP3.

Yeah, but Hilton Armstrong isn't bad and they can get away with playing Wright/Posey there in stretches.

This is probably what's going to kill them in the playoffs if they go down. I said last year they badly needed a wing that can create his own shot, and they still don't have one.

For all of Pargo's weaknesses, he certainly could create his own shot.

Sean Williams can't get any PT on a weak NJ front-line. There's a reason for that - the guy can't do much more than a highlight block and an occasional turnaround jumper. And remember Scott is a lot harsher on inexperienced players than Frank, so Williams would be behind Ryan Bowen in the rotation.

Hoopshype reports that they're going hard after PJ Brown, and he's exactly the sort of player they could use.

True, I'm just trying to think of a candidate who could do the job off the bench for them. A few years ago tehre'd be literally dozens of these guys available every year - but as of right now I can't think of anyone.

I suppose I just see the potential for any athletic big guy playing alongside CP3. His numbers would skyrocket, you'd think.

Yep, would be very funny if they faced the Celtics in the Finals as well. You woudl think Brown and Posey would help a lot going through the Lakers in the West too.

Mike James thinks Mike James is that bench spark.

Hell, Mike James thinks Mike James should be the starting PG

[TFLUA-Tiger]

What do you guys use to watch the games? An online stream, or are you all hooked up with Fox?

Fox is pathetic. 2 games a week.

Streams are the way to go. Free NBA League Pass until the 11th. Then just random sopcast, Justin TV streams

I cant hook you up with NBA league pass but when I did get it working I realised there is no low setting so its have at least 1500k speed internet or fail.

So I just use this board every day to find some games to watch.

Any chance of sending a PM my way?

 

[Chadley]

Would it be possible for people to us the same email / password for the NBA league pass after november 11 and when it hits Australia ( if it does). If so i would chip in money if any of you guys would be interested.

 

[WALL-e]

That is a US account. If we were to get it, it would have to be a International League pass. Which is $85 for a full season

I use that as well. But atm, because of the loss of streaming mms links, all the streams are shit, so I looked around and figured out how to get the LP, at least for a week or so. Out of the 12 games the other day, there was only a couple of decent streams...lots of cams set up infront of a TV, or just bad streaming quality

Yes i understand this, what im asking is if we paid 85 dollars can more then one person be on the account at the same time.
if so i wouldn't mind chipping money in with a group.
