Official NBA Thread 2k9-2k10 "Fantasy B-Ball & regular NBA talk"

i love the nets! i love champions.

what would be great is if they can turn it around and get ot the playoffs. everyone loves a comeback story.

More on T-Mac. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/11183/still-waiting-for-mcgrady

Basically he keep saying “Let me play I’m okay!.” Rockets keep saying “You are not okay.” :rofl:

Okay. I’m pretty danm sure the Nets will win over New York on Monday night. The streak will end at 19.

Anyone else want in on this?

No, if they can’t beat Charlotte, they won’t win on the road against New York. But yeah, next few games are much, much easier than having that 4 or 5 game west coast swing before that. So the Nets better win some of those games, or…we’ll just keep laughing at them hahahhaha.

Just so everyone knows, I’m gonna let you all in on something.

In the 4 major sports, the 1988 Baltimore Orioles have the record for longest losing streak to start a season, when they started 0-21. The Nets are 0-18. Their next 4 games are as follows:

vs Charlotte
@ New York
@ Chicago
vs Golden State

While this is not at all a tough stretch, this team could possibly end up with the worst start EVER in professional sports if they end up 0-22.

Lebron looks pretty good in blue and orange.

Tim Donaghy’s book is up for purchase now.

Worst cover ever? It’s weird, for such a big story like that I have absolutely no interest in it. Even when the story broke that a ref was betting on games I didn’t really care - I think I was just like “Oh, so that’s why the officiating is so bad, it makes sense now.”

On a related note…is anyone else reading Simmons’ basketball book?

It’s like 6,000 pages and I’m only like 150 in, but it’s been a fantastic read so far. All this Wilt stuff is great - like how he clung to stats and was obsessed with never fouling out of a game? Never knew that. I think after this I’m going to have to pick up his actual biography or something.

When I realized how wacky it was to cling to bizarre and meaningless statistical streaks like that, I decided to break one of my own meaningless streaks.

Because of Wilt Chamberlain, I will get a flu shot this year.

now you gon die from dat flue shot

oh shit why did I ever drop AI i shoulda known that he would have TRIUMPHANT RETURN

I wonder how long the rockets will tend to hold him out :rofl:

Just ordered dis book. $12 on Amazon wut wut.

imo.

I’ve got it but haven’t had the time to sit down and read it yet though. Tell me how it goes.

Richter85: The Knicks suck, but they suck because they can’t play defense. They sure can score though. The Nets problem is that their defense sucks, and they can’t score. That why I think the Nets have a better chance with the Bobcats. The Knicks probably just put 120 up on the Nets. (basically what the Mavs just did last night)

Damn I just dropped Nate because I wanted to take K-Love off IR. That was so painful. I hope someone from Point Break picks him up and have him explode with 20/5/5 games for the rest of the year. :sad:

P.S KIM STOP STREAMING!!!

If Toronto loses to the nets. I really don’t know what would happen. Toronto’s street would run red. Have you guys seen the Leafs Nation: Spirit is Everything paint on the sidewalks, with the Raptor Nation: We Prefer Winning? Well that makes me sad now.

Is that a Duke Nukem quote in your sig?

Dude I’m not streaming. Look at who I picked up. Ronnie Brewer doesn’t even have a game today. Yi Jianlian won’t even be playing until next week at the earliest. I picked up and dropped Charlie Bell and Varejao without even playing them.

Sarcasm… dur!

That’s Kim’s first serious response ever. And ckrazy is incapable of sarcasm.

Darn that sucks I guess I’ve been doing false sarcasm my entire life.
/slit wrist.

No, it’s a quote from an 80s film called, “They Live” a must watch.

That’s better.
