NBA 2012/13 Season Discussion Thread

Lin has shown that he is a very capable scorer. He's shown it in San Antonio, and he's shown it tonight. Regardless, He and James Harden gotta work on working together...they can form a backcourt that can be as dangerous as, if not more so than, the backcourt of Eric Bledsoe and Jamal Crawford. XD

Agreed. Harden really needs to not hog it all the time. We know he's good but there are times when he needs to play off the ball because that is what Shooting Guards do.

The return of Linsanity to MSG was a job well done. Lin had a solid game and performed well with Harden. I still think Harden needs to stop hogging the ball though. It sucks that Carmelo hurt his ankle against the Lakers as this game could've gone differently had he played. The Knicks just had no go-to guy in this game without Melo.

The Kings looked great in the first half against the Suns. But that was the first half. The second half was a different story and they got whooped. Man was it annoying to watch.

The Clippers are on a huge winning streak right now. Man are they fun to watch. Jamal Crawford and his sick moves are ankle-breakers. The Lakers had to claw their way back against the Knicks and got a good win. It was a fun game to watch and Steve Nash has made a difference so far. I been on Metta World Peace's case all season about him jacking up 3's, but you know, he's been accurate on them this year. I really like it. To see him catch and shoot 3's and actually make them made me wished he was doing that in Sacramento back then. Lastly, the Linsanity and "The Beard" combo has been working very well in the last few games. The Rockets are on a hot streak. Hope it keeps up. It's about time.

This Lakers team is going nowhere this year. Changing Coaches didn't do anything. They still suck on defense. Dwight Howard is not dominant. His free-throws have gotten better though. Kobe is the only dependable scorer. Everyone else just fights for scraps. They have Pau Gasol chucking three's as if he's Dirk Nowitzki. This is hilarious. Lol...Looks like we have a new king of Los Angeles for this year and they are the Clippers. CP3 took over in the fourth and made clutch shots over Kobe.

Since Demarcus Cousins came back, the Kings have been playing like a new team. They have six of their last 10 games. This time, he recorded a 31 point, 20 rebound game. Very dominant. This is the guy that needs to show up all the time. If he does, the Kings will be winning. The Kings are now only 3 games back from the Lakers in the Pacific Division standings.

The Maloofs are selling the Kings to owners from Seattle. Its waiting to approved and will be. When it is finalized, the Kings will move to Seattle and play there next season. This is so disappointing to hear. The Maloofs are such a-holes for allowing this. All this is because of them. They rather live the life of playboys instead of run a real team. I'm disappointed at them for not giving the effort to fix this team and get it back up. Sacramento fans deserve better. I really dont know if I will follow this team when the move happens.

Currently watching Jazz-Charlotte game.

East All-Stars announced:
G Rajon Rondo
G Dwayne Wade
F Lebron James
F Carmelo Anthony
C Kevin Garnett

West All-Stars announced:
G Chris Paul
G Kobe Bryant
F Kevin Durant
F Blake Griffin
C Dwight Howard

Dang, Jeremy Lin needed only 45,000 more votes and he would've been one of the starters. Who didn't vote for him anyways? Lol....Now that Carmelo and KG are announced as the East starters, they can now talk over about their differences they had from their last meeting. That should be interesting.

 

[orphen20]

My prediction's almost came true for All Star starters.

 

[DoGu]

Honestly, I think the West Starting five is kinda boring. Really, 4 LA teams? Oh wells, that's what you get when the fans vote. There should be some sort of rule where a player from each nba team gets represented in the All-Star game, like the MLB.

 

[Milky Rose]

Well...I also have a problem with the West lineup. CP3 is Okay, Kobe is okay, Durantula is fine, Griffin is also fine.

But Why Dwight Howard? I don't see how he deserves to be in the starting lineup when there are a couple of other guys that deserve to be in the spotlight more.

First and foremost is Tim Duncan. At his age, 17 points per game and 9 rebounds per game? Nothing to sneeze at.

Secondly, Marc Gasol. A big body that gets you 14 and 6 a night. One half of the bullying 4 and 5 Combo for Memphis, next to Zach Randolph.

Point is, both those guys have had a better season thus far than Dwight Howard. I'm still hoping for Marc Gasol to be selected for the reserves tho.
