Official NBA Week 8 Thread

[smashh]

At C/F there'll only be 6 spots. Gasman, Dirkster, Durantula and Melo are locks you'd think. Odom should really make it as well. So that leaves one spot between Gay, West, Millsap, Randolph, Gasman Junior etc...don't think the coaches will give it to Love no matter how well he's playing if they have other options from winning teams.

Guards will be even tougher: Manu, Frenchie, Darren, CP3, KoMe, Westbrook and Steve. At least one has to miss. Not to mention Eric Gordon or Monta Ellis. Tough gig for the coaches.

This make LaMarcus Aldridge mad. Plans to take it out on 'Gasman Junior' today.

Guard spot has also been made easier by Roy's 80 year old knees Watching him sprint is so painful

raep eyes are strong in the kid

lol @ brian shaw. sasha front and centre (as he should be). looks like the rifleman front row, far right.

I only included Gasman Jr because writing "Gasman Jr" is very satisfying. He's not really in contention. Having said that, he's still better than LaMarcus Aldridge.

 

[Coledinho]

Is LeBrone James even in the top 20 players in the comp? 6 points 5 assists. Doing a good job watching Wade it seems

i for one would like to see the NBA introduce a rebounding challenge during the AS weekend. the NBA would look at FG% (particularly 3pt%), pick the worst shooters, line them up and have say frye vs aldridge batting for the boards.

 

[peternorth]

interesting to see the Jizz start haywood given bell's abscence. guess they needed to fill the quota.

his contribution has been bugger all minutes and 2 fouls. lol

 

[ryzz]

lawl at bron nailing that shot over the backboard. net barely moves.

boooiiissss gaaawwwwtttt skeeeeeeeelz,

also double lulz at shaw not getting the memo

 

[Coledinho]

He must have read your post. Went for 13 in the 3rd.

Is anyone watching the Portland game? Did Patty go okay when he was on earlier?

God read my post. We have this game we play

Im gonna put the good luck charm on Al Jefferson. Hes been dreadful so far for Utah. Has to lift his game ASAP.

 

[ryzz]

mind dropping your good luck charms in batums mouth? hes in danger of becoming non existant, and it saddens me.

 

[Hodges]

Hows the Mavs. Bucks miss a free throw, Marion tips it back into the basket for 2 points. 3 points from 2 free throw shots, gotta love that.

 

[Coledinho]

BTW whats with the Paddy Mills hate. Hes putting up some fantastic numbers coming off the bench for Portland atm.

I dont know why you would want my goodluck charms on Batum because if he improves hes just gonna take minutes away from a gun like Wes Matthews.

Id also like an apology for my John Wall call from everyone. Really isnt showing all that much lately. Hes gonna be a decent player but the comparisons he gets are a bit silly. Probably ends up a Monta Ellis calibre player

 

[sblack]

Where's the hate?

 

[ryzz]

i just enjoy watching batum play. seems like an intelligent kid and knows how to use it on the court, but hes been benched, and looks like he is slowly going to die there.

his intensity has dropped, hes jacking up rubbish shots.

and i got no hate for p mills. conversely to nb, his intensity when he gets time is awesome (as it should be). exciting player, gets stuff moving, just needs work on adapting with his tempo imo. sometimes rushes too many plays

^^^^ this.

also, what are fantastic numbers?

 

[ryzz]

btw, nate needs to be shown the door. the blazers are going downhill quick. 9 pt last qtr? wtf? losing oden is a blow, but theyve been a solid unit without him last 3 years...

roy cannot even run, watching him sprint is painful. less minutes for the man. his %'s in december are ugly too, cept for a few

 

[Coledinho]

^^^^ this.

also, what are fantastic numbers?

His percentages dont look too bad, shoots 50% for the year, getting some okay minutes especially when you consider the opposition hes got within the team. Probably earning himself a move elsewhere soon

id be trading dre before pdiddy.

wes and lma are the (next) big boys in portland. build around them. they need to get in a solid backup PF also

 

[RoosterLad]

Bucks on fire!

 

[Warsaw]

Damn! Where this come from.

 

[peternorth]

Guys I know its early but in 2 days time the spazaliers visit miami.

Wes has had a nice start to the season, but he's nowhere near good enough to build around. If Roy's as ****ed as it seems, then so are the Blazers.

lol spazaliers

 

[ryzz]

serious man love for bogut. just getting down and doing it at the mo. could this be the start of the bucks season? huge second half vs the horsies on the road? can they snaffle the dub?

and someone tell john salmons his playing for a contract or something.

and i wouldnt bother with the thread, bron says they gonna win by 50. anything less and i'd be surprised

 

[PHX]

and someone tell john salmons his playing for a contract or something.

Contracted until the end of 2013/14. He's sitting pretty.


Great win for the Bucks.

 

[ryzz]

haha exactly, and hes playing like it!

tiny tiny tiny bit of fear of the deer yet? goooood win
