Official 2011-12 NBA LOCKED IN Thread

[nakedlunch]

the fan base went nuts because he wasn't cohan

and to say it was just a dumb overreaction to the ellis trade is to ignore everything simmons laid out. yeah lacobs only been there a few years but the fans are watching yet another season that had promise go down the drain. I don't hate the trade, and if by some miracle bogut can stay healthy next year I think it's actually lopsided slightly in favor of the warriors... but shit man, it's 2012 right now and being told, yet again, that your team is tanking its season for picks just can't sit right regardless of how it came to be

[nakedlunch]

oh wait actually didn't they end up with richard jefferson for like 3 years?

plus put aside what it means for your team, it's monta ellis a dude you drafted and is a team favorite and you're getting a big lug australian whos always hurt and fucking jefferson.

[ecto]

they added 12m to swap brown for jackson... and then another 10m to swap jackson for jefferson

[ecto]

i mean warriors fans were looking at a possible core of chris paul/monta ellis/david lee/tyson chandler three months ago

[blake]

I gotta say, I'm definitely looking forward to the end of FISHER WATCH 2012! I feel like this happens every year with dudes that get bought out. Remember the race for Troy Murphy?

[granger]

i mean he promised playoffs and then traded the franchise's best player for .60 on the dollar AND ADDED SALARY TO DO IT

yeah i don't really want to defend their moves, though i think bogut's health and the possibility of keeping the top 7 pick could make the milwaukee deal alright. my point's more so that it's shitty to act like lacob's at fault for their history. so far they've made serious runs at paul, tyson and were even willing to gamble on a half-season of dwight. they went the other way and decided to tank, and the spurs trade was awful, but if you put lacob's ownership in a vacuum it doesn't get that reaction

[Kuboaa]

camo Raptors jerseys are hideous

Amir Johnson making them even worse with his shoes he stole from Baylor's locker room

[mcwop23]

Knicks/6ers in a barnburner

[Kuboaa]

good lord the Raptors were horrible in the second half, good garbage win for the Bulls

[dog liver]

i'm stressin right now

this is gonna be a hard fought win (if the knicks win)

can't understand tyson being out so much. hope he's not hurt


shit elton brand with the block and iggy with the terrible lay up!!

[dog liver]

love how lin's picked it up in the fourth to make up for melo's lame shots. son can't even make a free throw

stat picked his game up drastically. i don't even know what that's all about

[mcwop23]

It's fucking nuts how the Knicks actually use like 10 players

[fury]

lol philly

[dog liver]

lol @ philly not having a clue

wow

[dog liver]

THIS was the game the knicks needed to win (for that 4th spot).

5 game win streak. nice to have some wins again

[Kuboaa]

Philly is definitely the paper tiger of the east going into the playoffs

[vegas]

what was the crowd chanting when Lin went to the line the 2nd to last time or so

[dog liver]

what was the crowd chanting when Lin went to the line the 2nd to last time or so

let's go knicks

[nakedlunch]

it just sounded like lets go lin or something. it was def ny fans chanting and philly fans booing

pretty wild game despite initially on pace to be a lower scoring game than most high school girls games

[christian]

i mean warriors fans were looking at a possible core of chris paul/monta ellis/david lee/tyson chandler three months ago

only those that are damn fools

there was little chance of either of those two ever joining the W's

[fury]

its so weird to see competent/good PG play from the lakers

[granger]

i mean warriors fans were looking at a possible core of chris paul/monta ellis/david lee/tyson chandler three months ago

only those that are damn fools

there was little chance of either of those two ever joining the W's

that's definitely not true for tyson

[SERIOUSLY GUYS]

sixers are just such a bad matchup against the knicks and their bigs

only hope for a playoff series win is that hawes gets in shape and the offense gels around him

[fury]

i know we arent supposed to talk about fantasy in here but of fucking course ben fucking gordon has 40 points after i drop him

[ghostguts]

anywhere I can get a stream of the pistons/nuggets game going on right now? ben gordon has 48 points and 8 for 8 on three pointers

[ghostguts]

nvm: http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/1146 ... stons.html

ben gordon just tied the record for most threes without a miss (9)...with latrell sprewell

[ghostguts]

javale mcgee basically just won the game for the nuggets. afflalo misses a tying freethrow with 5 secs left, and mcgee follows it in.

[ghostguts]

javale fucking mcgee

seriously????

[dog liver]

even gasol out there making three pt jumpers

looking more well-rounded with sessions out there.

still find it hard to believe luke walton was on this team for so long

[dog liver]

technical on bynum for that?

joey crawford is such a prick
