Not really I'm still on a buzz from last years championship. I'm just wondering when Labron will start getting the soft label. Dirk got it unfairly for years. Labron falls apart when it counts, when does he get the label?

Minnesota could be a playoff team this year.

Rubio!

Many people have put that label on him.

nice behind the back between 2 players legs pass by Love

Glad to only be down 1. Shitty shot selection in the 1st quarter.

what a pass by Rubio

I love seeing Perk in shape and able to run with us.

Minnesota is fun to watch. Their fans should be excited.

:deevee:

:deevee: :deevee:

We are taking WAY too many 3's.

lol nice move by Westbrook

They have been complete shit for most of your life. I imagine if I lived in So Cal, I would have been a Lakers fan, too. As it stands I am a Warriors fan.

I'm watching the Spurs/Grizz game.

The officiating in this game is atrocious. It's not really a fun game to watch.

Is it too early to say the Mavs suck? the way they are looking right now they might not make the playoffs

this is embarrassing for the Mavs. Down 24 soon to be 26 in the first half. They don't even act like they are trying

The Mavs definitely look like a different team. May have lost the fire. Plenty of time to turn it around but they look like they are celebrating from last year.

I still hate JJ's Hobbit ass.

Wrong thread.

big 12 rematch Beasley vs Durant

Not even close.. In many ways

For some reason I thought they played each against each other in the big 12 but I see they were separated by 1 year

Again, **** JJ. Flopping piece of shit.

what a ****ing pass by Rubio to Williams.

Rubio is something else.

He will be fun To watch. He will need to develop a jump shot.

Does Aldrich suck so bad he can't even get a couple of minutes for OKC?

Phoenix looks awful.

He's getting better. He played better in pre-season that Nazr. I would rather him get those minutes to be honest.

Dallas is stupid for letting JJ go. He is such a problem for other teams.

I really only care about the Spurs because of Kawhi Leonard.

He's playing great defense but he can't follow with layups. Hasn't made a shot all night except for one free throw....and as I type that he makes his first bucket.

that was a bullshit call

Manu Ginobili is ****ing good.

Very

Wait until you see this dime from Manu on Sports Center. It should be in the top 3 plays.

thanks. Cole was a good defender in college so I am kind of surprised he isn't getting some minutes. It is not like they ask their centers to score points

Hey Russ. Wanna get KD the ****ing ball? Thanks!

I can't believe these refs in the Spurs game. So ridiculous.

He will be soon.

How was that not a foul on Perkins?

Good win against a young hungry team following a back to back.

Perk looks great.

If Brooks can't find a way to get KD the ball in the last 6 minutes of the game he needs to move the **** along. Our offensive execution at the end of games has to improve this year.

Russ, I love you but get your boy the ball. I'd rather see Harden taking jumpers at the end of the game.

Disappointing loss for the Wolves, but they gotta be happy. They played the Thunder tight and made them sweat pretty hard to get this win. If those few idiot turnovers by that dumbass Beasley didn't happen, we might have had overtime.

I was Rubio's biggest skeptic, but I watched him in preseason and knew he'd do well. He needs to take Luke ****ing Ridenour out of the starting lineup ASAP. Barea and Rubio on the court at the same time is pretty fun to watch.

I have no clue why they are starting Ridenour. I think the T-Wolves are a playoff team. They were a pretty tough matchup for OKC last year even though we swept them. You add Rubio, Williams and JJ ****FACE and they are a tough out. I think they could be a 6-8 seed in the West. If not, they'll be good in the coming years if they keep it together.

The thing is, I remember those TWolves teams when it was just Garnett and a bunch of other guys. They had guys like Chauncy Billups, who was a ****ing bitch and not at all a good player at the time. Then they had Anthony Peeler, Gary Trent, Joe Smith, and Rasho Nesterovic at STARTING center. Wally Sczerbiak was the best player on the team not named Kevin Garnett. It was really ugly, but Flip Saunders had them playing good basketball.

This (should be) starting lineup with Rubio, Barea, Williams, Love, and Darko is FAR more talented from top to bottom. Only difference is Kevin Garnett vs Kevin Love. Hell, even Wes Johnson off the bench is far better quality than anything those old teams had. Adelman's the kind of coach that can get these guys working together to play good basketball. That's what they've been missing from Kurt Rambis all these years.

Adelman is the reason they will be a playoff team. They have the talent and the guy doesn't lose. I see them being like the Thunder 2 years ago or Grizzlies last year. They may be the last seed but whoever draws them is going to have their hands full.

Golden State put the clamp down on Rose tonight. I think 4-17 shooting.

Was that after Marbury?

Yeah, Heat are winning it all this year. No one can hang.

Talk about pre-mature.

I know it's only 2 games in, but I was thinking the same thing watching this game.

You guys are the odds on favorite, that's for sure.

Maybe OKC can knock you off, but I think that's about it.

Repost. Already heard it from the analysts on Sunday at half-time of their first game

You are basing your title on beating Dallas who obviously doesn't have their shit together and a Boston team without Pierce. I agree Miami is the favorite but your statement is idiotic. There are teams that can hang.

Norris Cole might be the best upgrade the Heat did. Its great to get a young guy and all the other trash out.

The Buffalo Bills are winning the Super Bowl this year!

Is there a good reason to think LeBron won't choke in the NBA Finals again?

Miami may be the best team in the NBA (and I think they certainly are), but it doesn't mean a damn thing if they can't perform at the end.

He looked good tonight.

What a steal N. Cole was.

And I only saw the highlights of last game but Ricky Rubio can pass the rock! Wow I didn't see him panning out

Lol..just had a Quin Snyder sighting on the Lakers bench.

Bobcats hanging tough with the Heat.

Its' 82-80 Miami with 5 min left in the 4th.

Chris Bosh just posterized Diaw.

I really hate Bosh, he looks like a bitch.

and I think it was DJ White that dunked on.

Nope, Boris Diaw.

Bobcats up 1 with 12 seconds to go, Heat inbounding.

Ohh I thought it was Diaw that got shook heading towards the lane.

Heat up 1 with 2.9 seconds left, Bobcats inbounding.

Heat win.

Wow good game.

Damn... what a game. I still hate the Heat all of the bandwagon Heat fans make me ill.

OKC-Memphis turning into a good game down the stretch.

Denver is just whipping Utah, my gosh. Utah getting run out of the gym two straight nights.

The second half for the Warriors was awesome last night. Brandon Rush had a very good second half.

Jackson has the Warriors playing D. We'll see if it lasts. I'm just glad I don't have to hear his commentary anymore :)

Good game going on now with the Mavs vs Thunder.

93-91 Thunder

Westbrook redeeming himself this quarter. Looks like the Mavs will be 0-3

Wow, VC rose from the grave.

LMAO or not Vince Carter with the killer 3

Vinsanity!!!!

..and Durant says FU.

LMAO LMAO


or not

DURANT

Dursanity!!!!

Durant. Dagger.
