2012-2013 NBA Season Thread

Glad to see Harden shining immediately as "the man" in Houston. He should easily be an All-Star this season.

let's just wait for the season to proper unfold... record season it won't be... but a trip to the finals could still be in the making

Yeah, Harden looked incredible last night. Lin + Harden will be nice.

[ghost1986]

I heard Howard's the new Shaq when it comes to free throws. Was good to see Steve Blake though. The only player from that Maryland championship team to actually have a long career in the NBA. Heard Juan Dixon became a druggy. And Lamb on OKC? Mercy. Too bad I really don't follow this sport anymore. Just waiting for 2016 to see them play for something else other than greed.

[Gordo52]

Why 2016?

[TreTheRaven]

The Heat look good tonight. (Sarcasm well meant.)

Wanting to watch the Clippers - Lakers game though.

[Gordo52]

I root for Knicks most of the time, but their not 'my' team. So im hhappy about the whooping theyre giving the Heat.

Harden went off, AGAIN. His #'s are amazing so far.

Bobcats won, Kemba dropped 30. Wow.

OKC messed up giving him up.

Right now I agree, but it's to early to judge that. If Lamb pans out, or they win a championship without him then it was the right move. Plus all those drafts picks they got from the Rockets, one of those picks might make an impact in the future.

I dunno. Martin has been good for them so far and Lamb has a lot of potential. The draft picks will help a lot in the future as well. OKC still has 2 top 10 players and a DPOY candidate. They may not be quite the same thus year but will be better in the longterm.

I had a feeling that the Lakers would struggle somewhat chemistry-wise, but I didn't think they'd start the season 0-3!

Anybody want to join a basketball fantasy league? Any takers... ?

1-3 now lol... takes a while with any team to gel when new guys (and manager) come in... after about 20 games if they still are bad, they'll be bad all season (hope not though lol)

[FerrariFan87]

Yeah, I think Mike Brown mentioned they'd find their stride in December or January... should be interesting.

[jus'_crAzy]

I blame that Princeton offense. Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol do not belong in the high post. Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant are not role-players.

The only reason why they're running it is because Mike Brown sucks as an offensive mind and he lets guys like Eddie Jordan take the reigns.

Indeed. The Lakers are a mess!

[indianstick]

Peace mike brown, the worst coach in the nba. It amazes me how he got the lakers job in the first place but he should not be the head coach of a team. I think it's still going to take time for the lakers to mesh together but mike brown had to go. No reason why you have your 7fters in the perimeter for the first half of the shot clock.

[Gordo52]

I'm glad they fired him. Never thought he was a good coach.

[FerrariFan87]

I have a feeling Phil Jackson is gonna get re-hired...

That's pretty great.

I hope they can lure The Zen Master out of retirement.

[FerrariFan87]

Didn't see the D'Antoni hire coming, but it makes sense given Jackson's ridiculous demands.

They're still washed up

Once Nash comes back, they could be a force.

Oh, and how about my boy LeBron?! What a game last night.
