"OFFICIAL" Around the NBA - November Thread

Meh that's fair. I think the biggest loss this team has is no backup center. I guess we'll find out, I have seen people putting us out of the playoffs. Not just fans but a few of the media. Charles said we were a 8th seed at best. If he had said "I could see them finishing 8th..." but he said at best which made it sound like we needed everything to go right just to squeak into the playoffs.

I don't mean to disrespect you guys current team. When I said Rocket fans weren't thinking about the Blazers it's just that they play in a tough division with the Spurs and Mavs and Grizz. The Grizz and Clippers are terrible matchups for the Rockets. The Clippers blow this team out every year for whatever reason. We play you guys close at least, that's more than can be said for the Clippers and Grizzlies sometimes.

I think you guys have a legit team, I just think people are sleeping on this team..and before this Mexico City trip, Howard was looking a lot like Orlando Dwight that took his team to the finals. So I'm just a little more confident, although I'm aware that McHale still coaches this team unfortunately. But Dwight has his explosiveness back and Harden actually tries on defense, so it's a minor improvement. Apparently Morey has something up his sleeve which could either be good or bad...it's either going to hurt or depth because he goes for potential again or it'll be a nice solid move, one can never know with him...

Well the west is crazy this year for sure. The only 6 teams I'm certain will make it are the Rockets, Blazers, Mavs, Spurs, Grizzlies, Clippers, Warriors...that 8th team for me is a total toss up. I think the Kings get in there over the Pelicans because the Pelicans and Suns. As for the other 7 teams, it really could go any way. Then you have this wild card OKC who could end up being a nice "reward" for a team finishing 1st or 2nd if Durant and Westbrook can get them out of the hole they will be in, which I doubt happens with how tough the West is already...

 

Durant is an even bigger pussy than Dwight.

 

Yeah, the Sixers almost beat the Bulls too.

That injured Thunder team beat the Kings, almost beat the Clippers, and oh...almost beat the Grizzlies...

Meanwhile, the Rockets without Beverly, Jones, and Howard almost beat the Warriors...

See how flawed this logic is? It's the regular season, sometimes teams just have bad nights, sometimes a bad team gets hot and plays that one game as if it's the NBA Finals. It happens.

 

The Warriors suck too. Probably 6 seed and out in first round again.

 

The Lakers are gonna beat you guys next by the way. Swaggy P is back.

 

Also, I don't see the Clippers as a lock to make the playoffs. They're horrible.

 

Let me introduce you to Kingspeed. The "hyperbole master". We love him to death, but the dude will post shit like Crabbe has a 56 PER or Leonard is 100/100/100! LOL

 

You must be new around here.

 

This, they're tied for 8th right now.

 

Kobe's a historic chucker/bricker -- almost 40% usage.

Maybe Im being oversensitive but this rubs me the wrong way for some reason. I never want to hear a player on my team say something like this

 

I think he is trying to be diplomatic and did not want to say that he did not to play with d-bags.

It is. That's the problem.

 

Touché

 

We need to send Meyers out there to stache-whip him when he flops.

 

Seriously, I really hope Stotts actually does something like that. If they are gonna fall for his flop, then send him to the floor and tell the refs "No that's a foul!"

Make that bitch think twice on pulling that shit against us. It's not like Houston has any enforcer types. They are all pussies!

 

I want Meyers stache to fight Harden's beard... 70s Pornstar vs Spartan

 

Even the glove dislikes Dwight Howard.

Meyers "The Stache" Leonard. I like it.
