Just checking in for the new season and couldn't find any of the weekly threads.

How have the Heat been going so far?
The Celts still going well with their own big 3?
Patty Mills still tearing it up for Portland?

Can't believe I forgot about the start of the NBA season, so I'm a bit behind on things...Now I just need to find out where the NBA is being shown. Is ONE HD still showing games? Can't seem to find games on anywhere :confused:
A bit frustrating given that I spent the last of my savings on a new 60" plasma & DVR in anticipation of a cracking season.


(My housemate initially offered to pay for 47% of my new TV but I tried to talk him up to 52%. We settled at 50% each even though I didn't think that was fair).
Heat are off to a great start. LeBron putting up 30 points per game, 10 boards a game and 10 assists per game. Wade and Bawsh both getting shitty.
Celtics are undefeated. KG is having an MVP start to the season. Rondo finally has a jumpshot.
Patty Mills is still the towel waver on the Portland bench. So far the season has been awesome!

Not to mention that Durant and Westbrook have averaged 28 each in their first games and the Knicks still don't know what defense is, same with GSW and the Suns. The Wizards have been tearing it up with their highlight reel team and have only lost one game so far. Oh and the lakers have lost six strait.

Oh I COMPLETELY forgot... their is a lockout and the season hasn't started yet.

Yep that was him, taking advantage of the Bullen Boomers Pancake Parlour sponsorship it seems. Cambage has to grow up before she ****s her career up, she should dominate but she's too busy complaining and throwing temper tanties.
Pics of friend won't be provided. Of friends friends.........:p

Etan Thomas compares NBA Owners to Wall Street, NBA Players to the Occupy protestors.

"Who is in the same position of power as the 1 percent? Who wants a bailout for their own mismanagement decisions? Who is more closely aligned with the corporate interests from which the Wall Street occupiers are looking to reclaim the country?"
Yes, you're part of the 99% with your half-a-million dollar minimum rookie salaries.

Yes, this is the same Etan Thomas who has earned $44.6 million over his 9-year career. [409 games, 17.3mpg, 5.7ppg, 4.7ppg]

Yes, this is Etan Thomas, the guy with the 90's braids who seems to always be lurking in the back of the NBPA press conferences.

STFU and play basketball.

David Stern says decertification of the union would void all player contracts, which are contingent on there being a union. Sounds like a really, really good idea considering that the NBA originally wanted contract rollbacks...

Stern: "Step into my web..."

I really hope that they get some players talking trash and Stern shuts them the **** down haha

Like Steve Novak (re-tweeted by Bogut) talking up the $3bil "given back" again yesterday. The $3bil they actually haven't earnt? Because the CBA at 57% expired this year? And they therefore can't give it back because they never had it in the first place?

Some gems coming from fans in this:

@gostu22:
@NBA why don't you raise max salaries so teams can't fit multiple stars under the cap? Seems like it would enhance comp. balance...

LOLWHUT?!

@NBA How about Mr. Stern and Mr. Silver both take equal pay cuts that the players are taking? Would show some shared sacrifice right?

NBA NBA
.@Mrljd05 All league executives are taking pay cuts in addition to over 300 job cuts across the league

Lulz. Yeah i will believe that when i see it
