2012 NBA Season Thread

I'm not concerned about the Lakers. Sure, they looked rusty, a little bit slow, and somewhat lost, but they need time to gel. The Heat started out 9-8 when the Big 3 got together and the rest is history. If everything goes according to plan then the Lakers will be all right. Dwight needs to get back into game shape, Nash needs to handle the ball more + learn which spots his teammates will be at, and the team needs to gel. If the Lakers aren't pretty darn good in a month or so then I will start to worry a little bit.

How LeBron and the Heat last nite?

Lakers fans where are you? Yall looked and slow last nite. Jim Buss has turned the Lake Show into a rest home. Beat handily by a Dirkless Mavs at home? Sheeesh. Heat will blow this no bench having squad out!

Well considering this is Miami's third year together, we should expect that right?

& We're still posting? It's not like we'll stop being fans or something.. If I do recall Miami lost there opening game there first year to Boston, correct? Then proceeded to start the season 6-10. But in the end they were 58-24 leaving them at the #2 seed in the East? It takes TIME with all these superstars together. Everyone is learning an entire new system.

Come on bro you're better than this! SMH

Anybodyhome if there where more white americans playing id bet youd love the NBA like you did in the 80s when there were plenty. How ignorant to stereotype an entire league because theres not alot of white guys for you to identify with. Just stick with the amateurs in college, thats more your speed.

Nice. Ignorant ass racist comment considering you have no idea what color I am.

You assume all black people watch the NBA, who's doing the stereotyping when I mentioned nothing about race?

Just stick with discussing something about which you may be the slightest bit educated...but, then again, now I'm assuming you're educated.

This new "Princeton-style" offense for the Lakers doesn't suit Nash. They need to be playing a quicker pace, that's something Nash feeds off of.

Yeah leave the princeton-style offense to the 2nd unit imo. It'd work well enough with Blake, Meeks, Ebanks/Jamison, Gasol/Jamison, Howard out there, or Blake, Meeks, Ebanks/Jamison, Hill, Gasol/Howard. The Princeton was designed for lesser talented / less athletic players to get easier shots. I'm pretty sure that Nash, Kobe, Metta, Gasol, Howard doesn't fit that criteria.

Cousins is such an underrated player. He is one of the most skilled centers in the league.

That sequence right there were he stole the ball and needled the pass to Evans was impressive and you won't see that from many bigs.

Oh yeah Cousins is crazy good. He's a 20/12 guy right now that can get you steals and blocks. He needs to score inside better and stop shooting so many outside jumpers, but he's going to be a stud.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
