LeBron's face in the gif is gold.

To be fair you cant compare the Bulls to those teams but in any case shut up Ron

Why not? Bulls and Dees both have their best player injured continually and you never know if he will come back. And then you get the fan hype going into the new season and then down he goes again.

your comparing a team which won 6 rings back in the 90's to a side which has only won 1 premiership in over 100 years and the other who hasnt won since the 50's lol. I would also say the fan hype around both teams are very very different. Who is the Dees best player who is always injured. Dont say Grimes

 

[Oliver King]

Haha. "YELL REALLY LOUD" then "Shhhhhh"

Clark.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Clark.

Good God

 

[Oliver King]

He is on my fantasy so wouldn't hate that as much haha

No Iggy for awhile aswell, I wonder who they start at the 5

The ghost of Jermaine O'Neil might be back. Or else Lee may have to start at the 5. Ugh.
Speights will get more time to spud it up too.

Struggling for depth.

also this was said after the Portland game, i have nothing

When we’re winning and playing better as a team, I’ll play better as a player.” -Iman Shumpert.

 

[DontArgue4]

You don't have to be perfect, but you need to destroy teams like Memphis at present.

See Spurs.

No harden, means we have to start two point guards. Doesnt help.

Comparing us to the spurs is ridiculous, theyve been together for over a decade.

 

[tigs2010]

Good God

Salary = Quality yeh?

 

[peternorth]

there are 2 ways of looking at this

(1) wade is showing off
(2) wade is not happy with lebron taking over, trying to recapture the limelight

what a knob

In other words I'll start giving a **** when the team starts winning.

you know what you need DontArgue4 ? a Point Forward.

Its a fair point, hes a role player at best.
Hard to play a role when the rest of your team cant play at all.

If its for Faried then yes im fine with it. Also thank you for correcting me on my spelling

Attitude is worrying me a little

Today is a real danger game for the Lakers.

Wizards coming off a win against the new york Lols. OK so its not fun beating up on poo, but its still a W. Wall is playing like an all star, and his matchup with fellow all star contender S Blake will be pivotal. HOwever, Wall has something no Laker has - speed. have a feeling he's gonna explode today all over the Lakers faces.

No Beal is a loss for them, but it gives minutes to the underrated E Manor (who as a Thunder always gave us problems).

Lakers have won the past 3 games in a confidence boosting period. Now at .500. A very dangerous time for the franchise as its well known the club has a tendency to get cocky after a few wins.

Im predicting a narrow home team win

you can still do your bit, whatever it is.

however, i believe strongly that with the advent of twitter and social media, NBA players have become all about themselves and promoting themselves even more. shump is probably more well known for his haircut than what he is paid to do.

classic case of overpaying a very average player

your welcum

i dont think faried will help your team. it's like MSG is the place for good players to die.

I'm backing the Lakers myself, I think Beal is just a massive loss for the Wizards, very hard to replace your top scorer.

 

[DontArgue4]

you know what you need DontArgue4 ? a Point Forward.

All we need is a PG who doesnt need the ball in his hands and that can play D and shoot threes, hence Beverley is the starter. Harden is an on the ball SG, when he played for OKC the ball was in his hands even when he was on the court with KD and Westbrook, he is a play initiator. Lin doesnt work as well next to harden because he also needs the ball to be effective

 

[stewie griffen]

Nyets start out shooting 77%....

 

[Gus Poyet]

What a soft ****ing call that was to send Lowry to the line.
