NBA 2011-12 Season Thread

I was more impressed with Bosh. Man, I love his game. I know it was popular to make fun of Bosh and hate on him for his effeminate mannerisms, but god damn, he is an A+ player in this league. He's smart, he's consistent, he shows up in big games, he is a beast. He's honestly more important to that team than Wade is.

Bosh love from Bulls fan?

Is the sky falling?

What day is it?

Lin and the Knicks looked slower and clumsy at times against the Heat. But they were in it at least half the game. Chandler was doing everything he could and he is the reason the Heat missed alot near the rim in the 1st half also.

I would like to see the Knicks play da Bulls and see how that Chi-Town D shuts them down.

Hate the Hype Juke not the playa.

The coverage is overwhelming but what there saying is pretty tame compared to the Tebow cult we had going. NY have a legit PG/ good back up PG at the worst is mostly.

If they play well can go up as high as 4-5 seed in the East.

Nothing earth shattering there.

Everytime they say the Knicks record I do start to cringe, its a 500. team in the east. No love for the Spurs?

No love for the Spurs?

I got this.

The Rodeo Road Trip went really well, aside from one...ahem...minor hiccup in Portland. But seriously, 8-1 in 9 in a row on the road? I'll take it every time.

24-10, current SW division leader. The old dudes are doin some in work right now. Hopefully they won't wear out.

The Spurs finished their Rodeo Trip 8-0 in games they tried to win!

For some reason the Spurs are one of those teams that the media likes to ignore. Even last year when they were #1 in the west for a large portion of the season, nobody was talking about them.

Actually they got alot of press in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Media wouldn't stop talking about them then.

[King Nud]

One of the commentators tried to say during last night's Heat/Knicks game that THE HEAT ARE UNDER THE RADAR.

yes. really.

[Scipio Afracanis]

Compared to last year they are since the media/fans watched them like a bug in a glass jar.

OKC getting press, NY alot recently, Lakers another good share for trade rumors/there not good enough/being run poorly,Clippers because of CP3 and Blakes nasty slams. Heat are there but there not getting the lions share by any means.

Bulls are talked about only related to there injuries mainly to Deng and Rose.

Almost forgot the Magic/Howard saga.

So I think while there not under the radar they are not the lead story most weeks which makes it seem under the radar ish. (C-Webb made the comment I think)

Edit: In regards to that NY vs MIA game, 4 games in 5 days for NY.

Irving showing off, but my man Paul George with 23 a night before he wins the dunk contest...


Honestly I want to know why he isn't in the shootout too. This man is quite a talent, he will be unstoppable on both sides of the court as the years go on.

To be honest, I think Irving was taking the game a lot more seriously than everyone else. Why shoot 3-pointers in a Rising Stars game?

[NaptownKnight]

I would take it seriously. It's not like Irving needs to be worried about resting for the playoffs this year lol. I mean in the NBA your name is a brand name, and the more you can do to put yourself out there the more money and recognition come your way, the farther your career will go in the business sense.

True I guess.

If it was me though, I'd be embarressed to try when everyone else basically, isn't

[Scipio Afracanis]

Everyone was trying to score points so in that sense he did a great job at something everyone was trying to do.

Dunk Contest coming up, 1st year I will be watching. Paul George looked good yesterday, rooting from him today.

Congrats on Love killing it from 3 land.

[King Nud]

Paul George OVER Roy Hibbert.

I SEE YOU YOUNG FELLA.

[Scipio Afracanis]

Robbed.

[King Nud]

Jeremy Evans.

Uh-huh NO.

[RZZZA]

Jeremy Evans, uh huh yes. Complain all you want about how sucky the dunk contest was (people do every year and still watch), but Jeremy Evans had the best dunk and he deserved to win.

[King Nud]

PG went over a 7-foot-2 guy! And he hit a 360 windmill FIRST TIME in the dark (most creative of the night).

Evans' first was AWFUL, his two-balls-one-hoop effort was really good and his 3rd attempt was okay too.

[RZZZA]

Hopping over things/people just doesn't impress me any more. And I couldn't even see Paul's glow in the dark dunk.

[Scipio Afracanis]

Going over Hib plus another guy will be the highlight of the Dunk contest in my book.
