Even Nash looks like he been working out over Ron Ron. That would be so a OD lineup if they were all in their prime.

well I think the Hawks will be 4th-5th in the east this up coming year. Josh Smith for dark horse MVP candidate.

You mean just like every year? You must be excited for the season then

happy to be here.

YES. SIXERS GONNA WIN IT ALL. Look at that heroic afro.

Already out for 3 weeks? WHATEVER.

Lakers with yet another blockbuster free agent signing, how did every other team in the league sleep on CD-R.

Props to Eddy Curry for taking his championship experience to the Spurs.

How do the Lakers still have money? Baffling.

I would assume this is sarcasm, but I actually think you might be serious. :confused:

Oh and Kim what happened to Justin? I heard he threw up on stage. Bad news for the Lakers?

He needs to stop drinking milk

My 2K13 shipped. Tomorrow I’ll be dunking on somebody with Bieber offline and Instagramming it.

2 spots remain in the Y! SRK FANTASY league, send me your email if interested and you can be active for daily roster changes, thanks.

Bynum fucked up big time not signing an extension with Philly. If he doesn’t get his head out of his ass and play to his potential, his career isn’t going to end well.

>implying bynum isn’t already satisfied with his career

Well, is he? A couple rings handed to him while injured is nice, I guess. One All-Star appearance? No contract? Can’t buy too many street racers without a contract.

I am loving everything coming out of Media Day for the Pacers. This team clearly has its head on straight, they know what they want to do, I’m excited.

My personal wishlist for the Indiana Pacers 2012-2013 Season…

1.) I’d like to see Paul George take the next step in his career evolution. He was better last year but this year he will have had a full off-season, training camp, and ability to watch film and really dig into Coach Vogel’s system. He also played with the USA Select Team and traveled with NBA superstars to China this summer. I don’t expect superstar status, but if he can compete (not win) but compete for an all star spot at SG that’d be great.

2.) To the second unit, yes you’ll get playing time, but please don’t be an offensive hole. Our bench was really solid defensively last year but couldn’t put the ball in the basket. I like how we’ve shifted that focus in theory bringing in Gerald Green (who will either be feast or famine) to be the biggest threat off of the second unit with Tyler Hansbrough, DJ Augustin (who I’ve always liked and think will do a great job as the backup PG), and Ian Mahinmi at backup center who at least has the size to play backup center unlike Lou Amudson.

Random aside: Lou, I wish your career the best. You played your rear off all season out of position and you really earned my, and every Pacer fans respect last season, good luck to you this season!

3.) Finally, the last part of my wishlist is to take advantage of a weaker Central Division to not only win the division but get the #2 seed going into the Eastern Conference Playoffs. I’m not crazy, I think Miami is the team to beat in this division, but if anything I feel like we’ve made steps to overcome the problems that happened in our series last year with Miami, also known as when our starters left the floor. We can stay big and athletic with our second unit and over an 82 game season there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to just out muscle teams on some nights for some wins even when we don’t put the ball into the basket.

Indiana Pacers this season will finish 53-29, win the Central Division, be the # 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and will be the only hope to stop Miami’s run to another title from the Eastern Conference.

Anyone else want to put together wish lists for their teams? You can put down as much as you want if you happen to be a Wizards, Bobcats, or Raptors fan… of course we all know SRK loves the Raptors and the Raptors are going 81-1 this season so… nothing to worry about there.

The Smith brothers. Because NY decided having one wasn’t enough.

Dwight Stopper.

I see the Spurs confused training camp with fat camp.
