Official NBA week 17 thread

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Ive been hanging to start one of these.

No games until Weds our time, so let me provide 2 days of discussion with this tidbit.

Matt Bonner.
Starting center.
50 games played.
1157 total minutes.
320 shots attempted.
12 free throws attempted.

The Red Rocket is as averse to contact as the Space Shuttle Challenger proved to be.

And Oden's hurt again.

And a Cleveland student newspaper is reporting Amare has been shipped to the Cavs for Wally, Hickson and a 1st rounder.


The authour of the piece was unavailable for comment.

is this the bigfooty official thread of just the official one?

 

[peternorth]

if gentry is true to the rumoured word (that he'll reinstall the run and gun offence) then they should keep amare

 

[Vegas.]

Removing 'BigFooty' from the title was a good choice. Infact I'd even remove official.

If I have made a mistake, I expect to be red carded by Borgsta.

 

[peternorth]

getting through today is gonna be tough without any games.

im calling on you, all of you, all of you to band together and help each other out in this time of need. without games to comment on we are forced to post immature and sexually suggestive photos of dirk and other players, start a kobe vs lebron thread, and/or post totally irrelevant stats.

lol, wat?

 

[peternorth]

so did ya know when you total up all the jersey numbers of the lakers roster it equals 203? 203 cm is the height of morrison, ariza and walton!

 

[Vegas.]

HOLY PANTS! My KD1's just arrived (pretty good since I ordered them Thursday night), I jizzed all over the floor before the delivery lady even got back in her truck. They are freakin sweet! Might even post pics if I can stop lookin at them. Coolest part about them is that they have all of KD's workout from highschool on the sole of the left shoe, and one of them is 'Run Hunts Hill', and my nickname is Hunts, so that's pretty dang sweet. It also has 'Hunts Hill' lightly embossed on the heel around the side of the sole. Jizztastic.

No worries with authenticty mdc, so I can link you to the seller if you want to get the flashy ones.

Oh and happy birthday MJ.

Oh man are they sick.

It'd be a shame to have to wear them on court. Just frame them and hang from your ceiling

 

[Vegas.]

At this stage I can't envision myself taking them outside.

Dunno if this belongs here but...

I love AI.
I'd choose Chris Paul.

Damn Vegas they are some sweet shoes. Shoe buying has dried up since the $ crashed. Where did you get them?

 

[Rowie09]

What did you pay for them mate? Dem sum sweet kikz brew.

 

[Vegas.]

Got them off ebay, paid $150AUS for them which is pretty good considering the status of the dollar. I would have paid $200+, coz once I saw them, I had to have them.

With a dog like this, that is sound advice.

She goes from this:

To this:

In 0.4 seconds.

Some of them are pretty interesting, how about Shaq and Chaunceys answers?

Shaquille O'Neal: "Nate Robinson." (Shaq's answer came before Saturday night's dunk contest).

"Nate Robinson?" I asked, shocked.

"Yeah. I've been big all of my life, dominating, and I'd just like to know what it feels like to be that size and be able to throw it down like that."

"But you were that size at 10 years old," I said.

(Laughing) "You're right."

Then came Chauncey Billups' classic and unexpected answer: "A.I. So I can get my Detroit No. 1 [jersey] back."

Kobe Bryant (paraphrasing): "Just me, man. I'm cool with just being me. Nobody else."

 

[Cruiser23]

Alright what do you fellas see happening between now and the trade deadline? Is it going to be a bust just like the AFL trade period? There are plenty of rumours floating around, Vince Carter to the Mavs, Tyson Chandler to the Thunder, Camby getting a lot of interest, Amare to a number of teams, Portland having interest in Richard Jefferson and Andre Miller, Brad Miller to Cleveland. Any other rumours i've missed? The Around the Horn fellas just suggested the Suns should try and trade Shaq and go back to their run and gun style. What are some trades that you see likely to happen?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

The PTI fellas just suggested the Suns should try and trade Shaq and go back to their run and gun style.

I was watching PTI a couple of weeks back. For some reason, we picked up footage of Kornheiser and Wilbon while they were on their commercial break. They were discussing an upcoming NBA trade segment. One of them said "Ok so who does Rudy Fernandez play for?" and the other asked if Grant Hill still plays for Phoenix.

They have to give the appearance of knowing everything about 15 different competitions. Nobody can know that. The show is performance art.

Sorry it was Around the Horn, not PTI but it is basically the same type of thing.

BLOCKBUSTER TRADE! (Warning may cause head to explode)

The Sacramento Kings agreed in principle to a deal with the Boston Celtics Sam Cassell and cash to the Kings for a future second-round pick. on Monday night, a league source told ESPN.com.

Good deal for both. They get Cassell and cash for nothing (the pick is heavily protected) and we get rid of his salary (less lux. tax) while opening up a spot on our roster.
