2012/2013 NBA thread: Wizards and Warriors

[Darthphere]

Thats a lot more fine worthy than the Spurs fine.

[L.A.]

Clippers win at Utah! First home lost! Thank God billups back brining stability

[L.A.]

Jazz ran out of timeouts late in the fourth quarter then felt compelled to cheat their way to another quickie timeout by claiming one of the players "had blood on their shorts ." And the ****ing stupid refs bought it. Clippers invaded Jazz huddle and it was really lucky it didn't get nastier than that.

You think Dick Bavetta would be smarter than that. Guess not.

[Doc Samson]

The same Bavetta that's about 106 years old right now? Not a chance...

[Docker2.0]

Dementia maybe setting in for him.

Good point and duly noted.

And Bavetta is a good referee. Wait, this isn't 1987? Never mind.

[Trainwreck2100]

so when stern forces Timmy and Parker to sit out a game will he fine himself $250,000?

Did you know dantoni is only 149-254 without Nash as his starting pg?

At first I was mad that Nash didn't choose the Knicks and instead went to the Lakers but man am I glad. Playing with that ball hog Kobe and watch how he blames his teammates when something goes wrong......................He's the first to claim it's his team, "I eat first", but yet when they lose, then Gasol needs to adjust, rebound more(Mostly Kobe's misses) and put his pants on. A leader leads by example, doesn't talk to the media, encourages his guys and doesn't point the finger. I have yet to hear Kobe say this is my fault for us losing, it's always someone else's fault. Funny thing is, Orlando only scored 10 points in the 4th and was losing by one point when Pau played but as soon as he went to the bench, Orlando scored 30 and won by ten. Hard to play with big boy pants from the bench but yet it's all his fault. If I'm Dwight, I'm on the first flight out when the season is over.

Hey! Where are you guys today?!?! I want to bash Lakers fans, aka Doc Samson. Did you realize that Kobe has almost out shot the entire Lakers starting line up alone? Gasol didn't play so please tell me Doc it's not Kobe's fault. PLEASE! And don't say coaching because he's the "Black Mamba" and is so great that he would cover a multitude of faults(like he's God or something)....blah, blah, blah. This team is falling apart and it's all on Kobe. It is his team.

[Darthphere]

Wizards beat the Heat, thus my night is ruined.

[L.A.]

Who was the idiot laker fan that said Howard a dominant center?! I'm calling you out my dude!

[SpideyVille]

Did Miami seriously lose to ... the Wizards!?!

He is a dominant center. It's hard to dominate when you play with a ballhog who blames his teammates when they lose. Again, the guy outshot the entire Lakers starting lineup but he's going to find a way to blame someone else. And let's not get started on Dantoni. Dude is a horrible coach.

On a side note, Lin only had 4 points and was on the bench in the final 7 minutes. Man is he overrated. I'm so glad Harden is getting all the light in Houston so now Lin can regret his decision. Should have stayed in NYC but he got greedy. Sucks, no?

Between the Cleveland and San Antonio games, they were due. I've kinda gotten use to these lazy efforts. Conventionality would dictate that the approach is changed, but Miami doesn't really respond like that. They'll play 48 minutes when they feel like it... whenever that is. As long as they bring it when it matters.

[Docker2.0]

Did you guys know that everyone in the Lakers starting line up was plus tonight.....................except Kobe? He was -4.

[L.A.]

[Poeman]

They lose to a Wiz team without Wall too...Btw, Dantoni is doing a great job with the Lakers

4th quarter defense is elite, 40 points to Magiv, 33 to Rockets tonight

[SpideyVille]

I just heard about the proposed name change to the Hornets .... why?

[Immortalfire]

What name change? Is someone out there offended by Hornets?

[Trainwreck2100]

Benson's been wanting to change the name since he bought the team

[Anubis]

They should trade names with the Jazz.

Utah Jazz.

There's no Jazz in Utah!

I don't know why they're changing it, but apparently they are going to change it to the New Orleans Pelicans, and it could be in effect as early as next season.

[Anubis]

Wow, that's really......dumb.

But there is good news coming from this name change Jordan may try and get the Hornets name back to Charlotte

He is, but he's also not 100%. He seems to be hesitant with the ball and is getting it stolen at an alarming rate so far this year.

More egregious is the continual foul line problems but I won't criticize him for that because he's always been horrible there. But teams didn't utilize "Hack-a-Howard" in Orlando like they are now. He's 17 out of 37 in just the last two games alone.
