2012-13 Around the NBA thread

The east is horrible. I mean maybe the least talented, poorest teams in the history the league, horrible. I personally think the league should at least contract 2 teams. There is alot of bad basketball being played by a ton of overpaid guys.

I agree with this man.




Also, I thought this was pretty hilarious.

2013 NBA playoffs: Gregg Popovich vs. sideline reporters - ESPN


I feel for those reporters having to cover him.....hahaha At least he has a good sense of humor about things (at times).

Oh, well. Congratulations to Miami. Yay.

This was the probably the last chance for Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker to win one together. If only Ray Allen had been injured in Game 6...

Seriously. People should try to catch the second video on ESPN's front page right now. Michael Eric Dyson breaks it down... The hate makes little sense, especially when compared to the legendary MJ or Kobe.

Greatest player right now and will be one of the greatest players ever. If he can stay healthy I think he will take over Larry Bird's spot as the greatest small forward ever.

I hope you're not talking about me. I have nothing but respect and admiration for LeBron James. He's a phenomenal athlete, and one of the best in NBA history. I love Mike Miller and Shane Battier, too. But, as one bumper sticker said: San Antonio; built, not bought.

On an unrelated note: I've heard rumors on a Rockets forum that Dwight Howard is possibly coming to the Rockets next year. I'm not sure whether I should be happy or upset. He'd add a lot of talent, but I've never really liked the guy for some reason.

Nope just a general statement on my part.

Okay, so you wouldn't have survived in the '70s when the Celtics won 8 in a row.

this is a sport where the college product is head and shoulders above the professional league. It doesnt get much better than College Basketball...March Madness is done right, imo just a notch behind the NFL/Superbowl playoffs.

I think you mean the late 50's to early 60's.

I am Celtics fan been all my life. The game today is so diffrent then even when Bird and Magic played. It just seems so forced like the media declaring game 6 of this years finals legendary. Really?

I loved the NBA during Jordan's runs because other teams were just as good he was the difference maker. IDK just not the same for me anymore. I feel like the whole league lacks parity.

The Pacers and Spurs are the only teams that remind of the old days.

If college football had a real playoff, I could make a case that college football would take over professional football as the better product.

David Stern made it this way by protecting his superstars, part of that is due to Jordan and how the Pistons would beat him up.
