2011/2012 NBA Thread : A Season Reborn - Part 1

[Daniel Thompson]

I do want to see how the Sixers play the Heat when their two centers are actually healthy.

Yeah, the Heat embarrassed the Sixers twice, but they did it when the Sixers were playing 6'8" Elton Brand and a 6'7" rookie at center for the majority of the game.

Yeah that should be very interesting. But we do need a superstar player to beat a team like the Heat. Picking up Dwight Howard in the offseason will help out alot, but have to get rid of Elton Brand and his contract first to get Howard.

 

[CConn]

You know he wouldn't want to sign with the Sixers.

They're not big name enough for him.

 

[Erzengel]

What a 3 pointer by Lin.

Amazing.

 

[CConn]

You know he wouldn't want to sign with the Sixers.

 

[steintym]

Bulls are getting a fight from the Kings. Hope Rose's back gets better soon ...

 

[Daniel Thompson]

The franchise history is just as great as Boston, LA and NY.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

What a 3 pointer by Lin.

Amazing.

Yeah he is the Tim Tebow of the NBA, except he shows up for all 4 quarters.

 

[Mister J]

Good stuff out of Miami on this road trip since that nonsense in Orlando. Last four games haven't been close. I expected more out of Indy with 2 days rest about to start a back to back to back of there own.

 

[CConn]

The franchise history is just as great as Boston, LA and NY.

Better than NY's.

Sadly everyone seems to forget that.

 

[Erzengel]

I'm really, trying not to get excited. But 17 down to still getting the win.

I have to remember how many turnovers he had in the beginning of the game.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

If Melo and Amare play well with Lin and they get a few more good players with a head coach they be contenders and dangerous.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Yeah he is the Tim Tebow of the NBA, except he shows up for all 4 quarters.

Don't compare him to Tebow. Lin is good at the position he plays. Tebow, not so much.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Better than NY's.

Sadly everyone seems to forget that.

Well yeah we do have a better franchise history then the Knicks, but still we have a rich history and a city of die hard fans that superstar players like Dwight should take notice and come here. This is the city Wilt Chamberlain played here, why wouldn't Dwight want to come and possibly be the best center the Sixers had since Chamberlain.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Don't compare him to Tebow. Lin is good at the position he plays. Tebow, not so much.

True....I also said unlike Tebow, Lin shows up for all 4 quarters.

 

[Poeman]

Jeremy Lin for the WIN!!!!!!!!!!! GOT IT!

NBA...Where amazing happens. I love Lin

 

[Poeman]

Its like a rookie, you gotta take those faults too

 

[The Apocalypse]

He's only going to get better. You see him get a little flustered and panicky on the break and when there is a little pressure on him but he'll work that out in time.

When someone wants to step up in crunchtime and take that shot...Wow you gotta believe this kid has it


mcten Dave McMenamin
The Lakers' players lounge just erupted when Lin hit that big 3. World Peace emerged and ran through the locker room yelling 'Linsanity!!'

Dwight doesn't have the right personality or mental toughness to play in Philly, they'd eat him alive.

On another note, aside from the turnovers, good shot by Lin. But just like when Kobe did it, let's remember it is the Raptors for Pete's sake. Sportscenter's about to run this down everybody's throat though...

This is twice he's sized up a big shot like that. First on Gasol and now on Calderon. And don't forget he had 11 assists. The man can flat out play and I hope there are no doubters left. The only thing I'm worried about is him getting hurt because when he gets hit, he looks like he's in a lot of pain.

 

[Erzengel]

This is the time to pad their wins against the Raptors, Kings and Hornets before they start playing teams like the Miami, Dallas and Boston.

Lets not overlook Shumpert's defense...Because Calderon was burning Lin in first half and 3rd...Dantoni is lucky Woodson said something to him to switch.

Shump, Fields, and Lin is a bright future for the Knicks

Because it seems that winning isn't the biggest priority with Dwight. He wants an entertainment destination because basketball is not number one with him.

He held Jose to 0 points in the 4th. I love having Shump come off the bench. An energetic player and he plays some hard nosed defense. Come playoff time we'll need that. Cause I think he can hold Rando, Rose and Wade. Not too big on Fields though. He apparently worked on his 3 pt game all summer but isn't he shooting worse than last season?
