The Official NBA Week 9 Thread

There is a new Big 3 in NYC!

Chandler, Novak and Lin.


With a sprinkling of JR (but chucking).

Here comes the ego . . . .


“I’m tired of this [bleep],” McGrady said after logging just 4:39 during the 97-77 loss to the Blazers late Saturday. “You can put that in the paper, I don’t give a [bleep].”

McGrady said coach Larry Drew hasn’t offered him an explanation when he doesn’t play him many minutes.

“If you don’t feel I can help, come tell me that,” McGrady said. “He ain’t told me nothing. I just want to help these guys win, man, which I know I can. But, damn, four minutes?”

LeBron James has hired a high-powered public relations strategist.

The strategist, who worked on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gubernatorial campaign, will presumably be responsible for strategic planning of James' marketing agency, LRMR.


Maybe he was just channelling his inner Terminator Arnie when he talked about returning to Cleveland.




Orlando are the last team to beat this juggernaut. Be nice to consolidate a mental advantage by winning again. Gonna be hella tough though.

A couple of days ago Melo was considered probable to play against the Mavs. Are the Knicks holding him out while the team is still linning...?

 

[silverscope]

or maybe they think they can afford to let him heal to 100% before bringing him back.

 

[WALL-e]

lol, Lin was like +24, Stat -11........

 

[stewie griffen]

Nice win by the Knicks

 

[WakeUpPies]

In the 2-3 minutes Lin was on the bench the Knicks were -7 against Dallas.

They better hope Baron can play well.

 

[Barnzy]

Subbed.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

just realised Knicks vs Miami is on ESPN on Saturday. Melo back as well.

All we need is Lin.

This is the mother****ing Jrue Holiday that people expect.

Looks like Collins has specifically called him out for his play over the past couple of weeks.

****ing amazing to watch

Horrible half from the Celtics. Puke worthy.

Boston shooting 50% to Detroits 39.5%, but the Pistons have a 13-5 turnover advantage (steals 6-2).

Yeah the turnovers are what make it puke worthy.

 

[Scully2Folau]

With his 2-10 performance at the line against the Heat today, Dwight Howard's FT% is down to .493 - a couple of weeks ago did he say he wanted 'more touches in the 4th quarter', or to 'get his FT% down to a quarter'?

 

[Scully2Folau]

Yeah the turnovers are what make it puke worthy.

And why does the $6.2m expiring contract of JO pick today of all days to give some sort of contribution?! haha

 

[Scully2Folau]

Indiana putting the hurt on the Seattle Futuresonics, 72-42 midway through the 3rd. Maggette has put in a solid -39 in just 20 minutes of court time!

 

[WALL-e]

He already is!
