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

[steintym]

Sounds more and moe likely that Rose will be back soon. Might not be a bad idea to keep him out through the All Star break, but if he's pain free it will be good to have him out there again.

Howard Beck:

@HowardBeckNYT Knicks and Jeremy Lin will be coming back to Time Warner cable customers soon. Agreement reached. Story on nytimes.com shortly.

THANK YOU LIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

None of the regular posters Anubis, just people who pop up out of the blue who just happen to be Heat and Bulls fans who never posted when they were average or losing teams, now they have the nerve to brag about "their" team. Give me a f-ing break! It can't be your team only when they are winning.

In fairness though... The Suns are my team but I don't bang on and on about them because I don't think too many people really give a s*** about us at the moment.

You can't really b**** people out for talking about their team when they're not doing that well ("well enough to be relevant") and then call these people bandwagoners when their team comes out of their trough and contends...

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, when the team you like is losing, there's nothing to talk about. Everybody can't be Knick fans who relish the b***hing.

 

[Hound55]

Well, there's s*** to talk about... It's just not stuff that most people who are fans of other teams really care about.

I mean, I'm interested in what happens with the inner workings of non-contenders, because that stuff's not permanent and I'm a lover of the game in general, but I can understand why some people wouldn't give a s***.

I just doubt people want to hear me go on extended rants about stuff like "Why in the hell did we go and get Michael Redd?"

How much do you really want to hear about Marcin Gortat?

 

[Anubis]

Actually, I wouldn't mind hearing more about Gortat. He's doing pretty good, all things considered. Magic made a big mistake getting rid of him.

 

[Hound55]

His numbers are also inflated because we don't have anything else... But yes, I was very happy when we got him off of them. Does the grunt work and that's often overlooked on a superstar team.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Did anybody read on yahoo Lebron said he might want to return to Cleveland in 2014? Think its true or he just talking ****?

 

[Anubis]

I don't know.

Even when I saw that story, and listened to ESPN go on and on dissecting every line of his Tweet, I couldn't help but note the absurdity of the situation.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Well LBJ did say this himself so nobody is to blame but him. He knew the media would be all over this. Not smart to say what he said cause now the Heat fans will wonder well why the hell did you even come here then if you going back to Cleveland, and now Cleveland fans will wonder why did you ever even left.

 

[Anubis]

If they do then they're ******ed. Guys an attention ****e. He just got some attention.

 

[Mister J]

Christ, I need the Heat to play this inspired and smart for the rest of the season.

 

[Darthphere]

We need to play the Cavs every game in the post season.

 

[Mister J]

It's been a different brand of ball since that nonsense in Orlando last week. Hopefully, it carries next game against the Magic on Sunday.

3>2. Guard the goddamn arc with some energy.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I ****ing hate Landry Fields.

Bull crap! I used to whine and complain about the Knicks for years when we sucked.......and we still do suck but not as much. It just seems like fair weather fans are popping up out of nowhere. There were not that many Heat fans before LBJ got there. Just saying.

 

[Anubis]

Does it really matter?

 

[Poeman]

I ****ing hate Landry Fields.

As soon as he was fouled I knew he was going to miss at least one...Such a bad free throw shooter...I dont get it why

Landry needs to work on his free throws, and Lin needs to work on minimizing his turnovers.

It shouldn't but it does. Don't brag about how good a team is if you were not there when they sucked. I was there when the Knicks sucked and now they are decent, I can say I was there. Now you have the band wagon riders who are just full of crap. You are a Bulls fan so you know it has to annoy you when a nut huggin fan who comes around only when there are good times claims to be a fan. Nothing urks me more! It's like living in Panama City, Florida. Sure it sucks most of the year but once it's warm outside, it worth sticking with it. Don't get quiet when it's winter outside!

 

[Anubis]

But....what about shrinkage?

I kinda get what you mean. Living in NY my whole life, I've loved the Knicks. No one really talked about them until we got Stat. It's nice though, seeing the only team you care about getting positive exposure. Even if it is people who are around now just because of Lin. Like Anubis said, it doesn't really matter. Once the whole Linsanity dies down and reality hits and he's just the avg PG we need they'll all go away. At least until playoffs start.

I can deal with Knick band wagon riders because I guess I'm used to it. It's just the freakin Heat and Bulls fake fans that urk me. Where were you when there was no Rose or LBJ?

 

[Anubis]

Probably not giving a s**t about Basketball.....which I can understand.

Are you talking about in general or people on this board?
