2011/2012 NBA Thread: Greatness & Awesomeness

[enterthemadness]

I wonder if the Headline on ESPN will be Bulls lose to 76ers in 1st round, 4-2, Heat a lock for Finals. lol.

 

[Scrandy Randy]

I don't think you have much of a point with the sleeves either when they're actually an effective piece of attire now with all the padding and what not they put in those things.

 

[runawayboulder]

Man, Chicago had them and they blew it. I know they were banged up but I still think Doug Collins did a great job coaching in this series.

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

Nothing like my teams season ended on some good old fashioned terrible officiating.

 

[Raiden]

Bulls are built to win in the regular season, so I'm not surprised if they get bounced in the first round. In the playoff, it's all about the stars and Chicago only has one, and he has a torn ACL.

 

[Nightmare]

Lakers look awful tonight.

 

[runawayboulder]

If Denver wins tonight, you might as well mark them down for winning G7.

Adding to that Rose's star is elevated because he plays with a bunch of average joes. Looks at his stats and he's been marginally better then Russell Westbrook this year.

They could have beat Philly but they played like their hopes went with Rose. If they had played like they did in the regular season without Rose they would have won the series.

Also, Boozer is Chicago's Amare.

Goodbye, Bulls.

 

[L.A.]

 

[Raiden]

Sigh, I wish I'd be a bit more surprised at Lakers' lackluster performance tonight, but I really don't. I just hope they'll finally wake up from their stupor in game 7 and win this series decisively, although their poor performance against Denver will make them even more ill-prepared against OKC.

 

[Anubis]

Well, at least it's finally over.

Maybe next year.

 

[Doc Samson]

One of the worst efforts from the Lakers all year, but this is televised nationally so the world doesn't need League Pass to witness this atrocity. I don't want to hear about Bynum anymore, or Gasol for that matter, needing more "touches." Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[The Apocalypse]

See, this is where the Lakers really needed Luke Walton. Never should have released him.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

YES! YES! YES! Just got off work YES! 76ERS UPSET CHICAGO BULLS. I know Rose hurt and everything but still man Chicago like others said had chance to win the series and did not. Doug Collins did a great coaching job this series and congrats to my hometown squad. I know we most likely will get bounced in the 2nd round but we made an improvement from last year atleast.

 

[L.A.]

Bynum is a ******* smh

 

[The Apocalypse]

Bynum is a ******* smh

Yeah wtf is wrong with the guy. Every time I watch the Lakers play, even when he's having a good game, it's like he just doesn't even want to be there.

 

[Docker2.0]

With Mike Brown as there coach, do you blame him? I bet they wish they got Howard now. But its not going to happen because I doubt Howard wants to play beside Kobe.

 

[BatSpider]

Unless Kobe is retiring, Bynum (keep Gasol imo) needs to get the hell outta there.

Maybe give him to a small market team and show him what losing really is, childish brat.

 

[runawayboulder]

Dwight Howard is a ******* too. You're trading *****e for *****e in that scenario.

 

[Scrandy Randy]

With Mike Brown as there coach, do you blame him?

Yes.

I bet they wish they got Howard now.

Howard's a bigger headache then Bynum.

But its not going to happen because I doubt Howard wants to play beside Kobe.

If that's the case Dwight might as well say he doesn't want to win a title.

Unless Kobe is retiring, Bynum (keep Gasol imo) needs to get the hell outta there.

Unless it's something like starting a fight with a teammate there's nothing Bynum can do that would make keeping Gasol over him in a trade very wise.



First thing I thought about last night was how this team would have done if the Chris Paul trade actually went through like it should have.

Basketball Reasons.

I'd say Chris "Birdman" Andersen is in trouble:

[runawayboulder]

It doesn't seem to be affecting the Nuggets.
