****The Official 2013-14 NBA Thread****

Take that you damn Nets.

 

His defense was impressive tonight in getting 9 steals. I like the size for the defensive end as well. I was surprised at his long range shooting tonight. For someone who was said not to have a great outside shot, 4 three pointers is pretty good in your first game. 

 

I like what I have seen so far, and they also have who I think could be a solid contributor in Noel also in that draft. With a couple good draft picks this coming year and maybe a decent free agent to go along with what they already have, things may be looking up for the Sixers.

 

Good for Sixers. AI retirement night, win over HEAT, their fans got their moneys worth. MCW nearly with a quad double, yikes. Would of been crazy. As for the game itself, very up, downish. Down 20, up 12. In the end, Spo left the second team without Bosh or Bron out there for too long. Still toying with the rotations. I think Cole should of been in there late as well. Don't really get all these fans who are all "wait till April" I mean were the 2 time defending champs for Christs sake we gonna lose games, so what? Being as close to healthy as possible, that's my real only goal. On to the next one.

 

I think Evan Turner is finally going to show some worth as well. He and Collins hated each other. Turner looks in shape, and looks like he actually gives a **** for once instead of the *****y, moany guy we saw every game. That's probably the biggest storyline for me this season other than tanking and MCW.

 

No, the 76ers are obviously the better team and we should all push the panic button.

 

Clearly

 

The Jealousy in every post is THICK.

 

Enjoy it while you can. With half the team new we are still playing preseason. PrObably 25 games before the rotations are set and the defense comes around. I will be happy if we're around 500 after 25 then we start our march to the ring

 

After 25 games you should get 10-20 really quality games in before KG and Pierce have their annual old folks production dive.

 

what ring? Toilet ring?

 

Introducing "Pierre the Pelican", from some bad artist's nightmares to yours!

Pierre, the Rocky Horror Picture Show Pelican.

 

It's like someone put the San Diego Chicken in drag

 

They are playing a lot less minutes then when they were in boston. They'll be nice and fresh for the playoffs

 

Tell yourself whatever you need to to sleep at night.

Hey I think they're like 60% for a round one win before getting trounced

 

I wash born in the darknesh, Molded by it...

 

FWIW I have NO love for the Knicks but I unequivocally do not see Melo leaving.

 

If I had to make a WAG at this point, I think that Melo ends up in LA and they re-sign Kobe after missing out on Lebron. That sounds like a Buss move to me.

 

I am beginning to think that only the Knicks and their 3 pt. shooting can push Miami to 7 games in the ECF.

Problem is that the Knicks matchup better vs. Miami than they do vs. Indiana/Chicago

 

Don't leave out the Nets, they stay healthy they will be tough.

 

Celtics always looked good early, will be the same with the Nets I'm guessing.

 

It was always a waiting game with them. Now they have Derron, Lopez and company. If they keep those vets fresh, they could be trouble down the line.

Can't believe nobody posted this lol

 

As for the game, meh. Not consistent. Over last two years there were games in regular season that I cared. Celtic games in year 1. OKC games. Watched this game, literally did not budge when they lost. I mean Bosh was trying to miss for Christs sake and made the FT that kind of night. I'm sure there will be loses that'll annoy me, but man...Healthy Playoffs, that's the goal.

 

disappointing win for the nets. Should have won by twenty or more but at least we're 1-1 and i just want to be .500 by game 20. we have a long ways to go on defense and the offense still needs to jell. the bench is going to be sick though. by midseason our bench will outscore every other bench by ten to twenty points per game. AK 47, Anderson, Livingston, Blatche, Terry. No one can match our bench. the offense should jell by game twenty, hopefully the defense does too though that could take forty. granted we havent played anyone yet so we'll see how we do when we play against a real team like indiana. that'll be a good marker to see how far we have to go still

 

in case anyone was wondering how AK-47s first regular season game in a nets uniform went here is a look at him driving on the miami defense

 

Some Nets fan clown that started watching basketball about 8 hours ago. (Seriously, what kind of assclown would post a .gif of Pierce doing anything vs. a guy (Lebron) who has raped him repeatedly for going on 4 years)

Same ****..every year. They always learn the same way.

if you were actually trolling for an opinion...your bench is awful, and your team is painfully slow. If a 1 pt. wheezing, praying, lucky win is all you can do on opening night vs. a Heat team that hasn't started playing yet..well, you know what you got.

I thought they would be better.

As for a real team..

Dwyane Wade looked good.....Battier is back to his 1 game great..2 games bad routine. Norris Cole is off to a great start. Lebron still doesn't have his legs. Takes him about 3 weeks usually. Save for the start of the Philly game...so far so good.

 

Oh..and I say lucky..because the Refs missed a call with 7 seconds left.

The Nets fouled Ray Allen intentionally OFF THE BALL. That is illegal, and requires FT's and possession. Refs I guess choked and forgot to call it, because Spo was asking them about it and they said that Ray had the ball..when he clearly didn't have it.

That was an all-time dumb play by what was supposed to be a Veteran club in BK. But hey, they got away with it.

 

NBA season started???
