ain't nobody fuckin w/ my...

http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlla/files/2012/10/lakerssi.jpg

Maybe not as much fun if Kobe is hurt, although it would solve the whole "can Nash and Kobe" play together thing.

*barfs*

the lakers better win it all this year or else that photo is gonna be infamous

ban jordan

NOW
this
is going
to be
FUN

suggest thread title change 'NOW this is going to be FUN 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (ban jordan)'

:-(

lol

#sandy

ball

i know we talked abt this before but what is up w/dwights legs in that pic

i think maybe whoever retouched that cover forgot to do the legs?

i'm taken aback by the wrinkled shorts... like, really, sports illustrated didn't have an iron on set?

e-ball-a virus

amare out 6-8 weeks btw

god i h8 that being at the top of the thread now im gonna barf whenever i open it

yah it looks overall way over sharpened but then they forgot to do anything else to the shorts and legs

both their expressions are terrible what a horrible photograph

#banjordan

i support it being at the top of the thread tho, perfectly encapsulates this fallen league

we must never forget this photo

dwight's right leg looks like its been on a rotisserie

when he asked to get that kobe on his knee they thought he meant kobe (beef)

lol

haha

i'm not gonna harp on this but...i would not have gone with a jay-z lyric or put a picture of the lakers at the top of this thread

i stuck with the good music theme kicked off by m bison & c'mon how could that NOT be at the top of this thread? LOOK AT THAT PHOTO

RIP NBA WYTES

i should note that i'm gonna be flying during the heat/celtics game tonight but i will read that entire issue on the plane so i'm slightly less angry

LOOK AT THAT PHOTO

they are expressing relief that finally, NOW, the lakers are going to be FUN

(now that kobe has three superstars to bitch at when they miss a crunch time shot)

steve's expression says cmon guys you cant hate me, im still steve nash...right?

ay i mean right

i will do predictions when i get home

Mavs beating the Heat was FUN. The Lakers stomping on mediocre teams during the reg season is hardly my idea of FUN.

http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201210/are-minnesota-timberwolves-too-white

hm

I'm just shocked there's finally a whiter team than the Pacers. pale arms race.

My impression is that for the guys in the locker room, balling skillz are about a hundred times more important than skin color.

Now, if the TWolves were sitting good black players in order to give underskilled white guys more minutes, the locker room would be a shambles in just a few months. But Adelman would NEVER do that in a million years.

the lakers are so cool, its gonna be mondo sweet rooting for them all the way to the finals this year, dribblin balls and dunking on LeBum Gaymes, laughin and clappin and hi fivin all the way

no rooting for the lakers itt

If you godless animals can root for the Heat, all bets are off for the rest of us

he has a point there GUYS

i do not necessarily "root for" the heat, i rooted for them to win the title last year so we would be done with the lebron narratives. i don't hate them tho it's true, but they seem way less hateable than the kobe/dwight lakers at least

I guess Eichmann had his reasons too.

I hated the Thunder more than the Heat by the finals. Ended up cheering for the Heat in the finals.

John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger
In a major upset, @ZachLowe_NBA beat me to the 2012-13 season's first crack about Tyler Hansbrough's nonexistent passing ability.

man... what the fuck will be the lakers teamwork

imagine kobe dont play today (he is injured), misses 5 games, lakers start 5-0, he comes in ...

Heh, unintentional lol from that garbage article re: white Minnyballers: "Ron Edwards, a longtime Minneapolis civil rights advocate, told the Star-Tribune that it was 'somewhat disturbing' when he saw a game last season in which Wes Johnson was the only black player on the floor for the Timberwolves."

Civil rights advocate shaking his head, wondering why they weren't giving Beas some reptime.

Twenty minutes before I find out whether my friend's NBA LEAGUE PASS login still works.

Just ask u to talk with me....I'm a grown man...that's not above logic and reason...Before u go to the papers wit false information.

ACTUAL BASKETBALL

my league pass works! That's a good start.

poor delonte

dubs should take him; he needs to cut loose in an environment where management don't give a fuck. Could be like Nate Robinson from last season.

I feel like the first game of the season is always the Wizards

YAY SO DOES MINE CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE CELTICS/HEughughghghgh forgot that not every game viewable. Will settle for an hour of Irving; gosh that Wiz line-up looks rough w/o Wall.

Did Jan Vesely grow? Dude looks bigger out there.

Also just now realizing how soothing it is to hear some familiar broadcast commentary. Felt my chi center a bit when I heard them talk about Crawford not being a shy shooter.

FREE LEGAUE PASS YAHHHH

yeah jan vesely grew a little and is now pretty much 7'0

also pretty much a PF

vesely looks nice. shame he cant shoot

luke walton just drew an off foul; then travelled in offense

and for the third year in a row i ponder springing for league pass

Chuck and Kenny on my tv :)

Related: shaq is on my tv :(

He looks pretty beefed up, too. Would love to see him not be a bust; I guess he'll get plenty of pt this season. Is he one of those Euros who didn't start playing bball until they were 16? Feel like it's early enough to learn a few go-to shots.

It's gonna be baby steps w/r/t him actually having offensive skills

mere moments away...

omg that curry / barnes ad

Those championship warmups are sad.

rondo rocking the pink shoes?

brandon bass kicks off the season by getting blocked twice

Bass in postseason form. :(

pierce looks really skinny!

and is on FIRE

pierce is shooting from like 28 ft

Damn, first time I've seen Waiters play-- like the aggressiveness.

Hi Brimstead! I think the '10 logo change was a big moment for your franchise and they're on the rise. DYK if Draymond Green had a decent pre-season? Left the draft thinking he'd be a big steal.

bass having no post game kills them vs the heat IMO. will he interesting to see how much impact Sullinger has in that respect.

hey uh miami, let's hold off longer than 4 minutes and 30 seconds into the season for the MVP chants for bron...unless you are just stating that he is currently in fact the mvp

bass also sometimes having to guard bron in the bosh-battier-lebron lineup also totally kills them

video game pace so far

this has been fun. lee looks like an immeasurable upgrade on the wing. Sullinger has no shot of guarding Battier tho. they could run Battier around screens w/ no intention of passing the ball just so Sullinger collapses on the court.

lol

Love that KG got a foul for not touching Chalmers. The wind of his fake elbow shot rocked Mario's head.

heyo also welcome brimstead

u know the ilh nuggets bandwagon was already full last year tho

Bass at the top of the key is still horrible.

i tough bron would pass that but not in that way, that patience is all-time move worth

you tough too, dawg.

boooo

ho who saw kg snub ray

that was nice plus ray hitting the buzzer three...this is the best rivalry in the league now

If nothing else, cavs vs wizards is an opportunity to see a couple really fly uniforms go head to head.

Ha! That was the game that convinced Golden State they needed David Lee.

xpost

obviously fat lever makes an appearance on that list

twice! only guy with 2

that is a pretty exclusive list

Oh, for the days when Fat Lever wasn't a comment on Raymond Felton's dining technique.

cavs got a lotta ugly dudes on their team

lol at pierce yelling shrink the floor over n over

note to ez snappin--the only thing that could pull me away from this game is a witch mountain concert.

commercials on nba tv amount to televised anthropology m/l

cad - you going tonight? Or are you going to Worcester in a few days?

going now!

Have fun! Say Hi to Nate for me and tell him I'll see him on the 10th.

clay you like those yellow with burgundy cavs unis? not much of a fan and they are gross in person for some reason (better on tv)

wizards bullets-ish unis are the best thing they've done in years tho

I've finally decided that the Wizards name is acceptable. Mainly because they're only watchable in spells.

thats a travel by pierce right?

sloppy end to the half on both sides.

pick up game vibes for sure

9-23-9 for Varejao, one turnover

They look pretty good on that court, in a fairly dark arena, next to a complimenting uni like washington's. but throw them in a bright place like the rose garden with its garish reds and porland's clashing unis and they'd be a disaster.

I can't imagine what they must look like in Milwaukee.

according to yahoo the top performer for Washington tonight was Trevor Ariza, with 9 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

intentional foul on the break, nbd but kinda pointed

okay. Well I guess him not getting a flagrant evens out the phantom call earlier. Of course, having not seen the play, it could just be a hard foul for all I know.

this would be a close game if kg and j green hadn't been godawful

like Green guarding Lewis there? Egad.

whatre the heat gonna do if they play the lakers in the finals and they have to throw anthony/harrellson/pittman at dwight, have they thought this one through or are they just hoping to play okc again

Nash for three

Lebron will maybe guard Dwight at least part-time?

Didn't we prove with science they're the same height?

Seeing Howard/Nash/Kobe/Pau walk onto the court for tip is scary.

srsly how did they pull this off

please tell me that's nash's halloween costume

i'd be pretty interested in seeing bron try to guard dwight. they're p much the same size, dwight's got an inch or 2 on him

haralabob has used "tbh" and "imo" in the past 4 hours, has he been lowkey reading ILH?

I'd be interested I seeing it too, for the lolz xp

I want to say Dwight is too strong for lebron but idk it's like talking bout batman and the hulk I mean lebron is a v v strong human being.

Dwight does not look great at all

it looked like he got straight up swatted by Curry there

for whoever asked about twitters to follow, here is a list of accounts followed by both @haralabob and @johnhollinger - good place to start

yeah dwight's kinda flat

Nash's hairstyle is really bad

last 2 posts otm

As Allen entered the game for the first time, he trotted toward the Boston bench, exchanging a handshake, embrace and a few words with Celtics coach Doc Rivers, who hasn't hidden his displeasure about his former shooting guard's decision to sign with Miami. Allen then briskly shook hands with a few assistant coaches.

But when Allen tried to engage Kevin Garnett, the mutual pleasantries ended. Allen tapped Garnett on the shoulder as he sat on the Boston bench; Garnett didn't even flinch, staring straight ahead, refusing to acknowledge the gesture in any way.

Kenny running around on the set <3

kg just completely kicking off the season right

Collison killing it

jesus wtf dwight u suck

Howard's fts are awwwwful

just like shaq ^_^

Guys, Nash was always Hollywood like that but he didn't live in like, you know, actual Hollywood so it didn't seem as douchey before. That outfit is not out of the ordinary for him at all.

"xp Dubs. I'm kinda on the nuggs bandwagon this year, though."

Welcome fellow dubs fan! ^5

the thing that makes lakers/heat so fascinating obv is that tho the heat have no one to guard dwight (lebron has checked pau before), the lakers consequently have no one to guard wade or lebron

Loved that first heat/c's game so much. Wade hair is fresh, first thing I noticed. Kg snub is all time. Pierce looks nice and their bench looks way more offensively capable. Jeff green lol.

"we have to be more tougher" -- Mike Brown

It's sad to see this Lakers team being managed by... Mike Brown. Actually it's pretty funny.

the lakers consequently have no one to guard wade or lebron

kobe and mwp?

I give brown 6 weeks, tops. PJ to tha rescue.

MWP could've checked lebron

in 2009

if this is the Dwight they have all season they won't get past OKC anyway

well who can check lebron? mwp can do a passable job

Dwight will be fine.

mwp is dece on wade and lebron; kobe is not interested, probably

bad idea for lakers to not practice or play any preseason games before opening night

mike brown is pretty much a living disaster

man I guess another year where Dwight's hard offseason of free throw training doesn't pan out huh?

ah, dwight's first fouling out as a laker. i'm already bittersweet.

i will say that MWP looks conspicuously in shape

i think he was just super nervous to have THE lou adler sitting right there rooting for him

http://hardwoodparoxysm.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/mikeborwnwhat_1.gif

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the lakers will want nash to finish with more than 7 points and 3 assists per game

i will say that MWP looks conspicuously in shape

Was thinking the same thing

wait who did the hot chick in that gif come to the game with??

steven nash sonned by darren collison... welcome to opening night

i did not mean to type "steven" there

Gotta love a team like the Mavs with a bunch of hungry castoffs and backups.

looks like the seat next to her is empty, GD

Rick Carlisle vs. Mike Brown: anything is possible

Nash did an excellent job of making collision look like all-star material tonight. XP

yeah carlisle is an incredible coach

sort of feel like carlisle + dallas' crazy front office stat guys will have them competing for the playoffs despite half a lost season from dirk

oh right another 8 months of Reggie Miller pretending at humility. Gtfo of here.

lakers should trade brown and 2 towel boys for carlisle

mike brown owes so much money to America's refusal to give LeBron credit for anything

Nash will be nearly worthless without just being able to roam the floor with the ball. This won't be a good year for him unless brown goes. Nash under terry porter was not himself and this is worse I think.

altho he may pay lebron back if he sabotages the lakers this year xp

Matt way otm.

yeah well this laker team is def messed up. van gundy had a perfect system for dwight in orlando... lots of PNRs & a million three point shooters. ideally you would just want nash and howard running a million pick and rolls and dishing to people standing at the perimeter but that's not about to happen with both kobe & pau on the team.

they'll definitely figure it out at some point but it's gonna take a lot of trial and error and they might have to really re-tool the team on the fly around the deadline

Barkley more otm than nabisco

Yeah. They have a lot of work to do to get it going xp

When Dallas gets healthy they are kinda deep aren't they?

Collison is such an upgrade from Kidd.

damn barkley's suit is great!

they retooled better than I thought this summer, yeah. Cheap too. XXP

barkley et al haaaaate the princeton offense. Lol

Yeah they clownin in that.

Shaq has gotten so much better. I am fine w him now.

haralabob intimated this on twitter but the princeton offense was originated by a bunch of unathletic, untalented white dudes to gain an advantage and prob shouldn't be put in place when you have 4 of the top 25 players in the nba

btw haralabob is totes canadian, was weirding me out

the simmons/lowe/bob (simmons calls him bob) podcast is highly recommended

Staying here until Who He Play For, obviously

yeah I've got some shit to do right now but, I mean, who he play for

hopefully they don't fuck it up like they did last year

Basketball!!!!

otm

Haha rondo with a tech and a flagrant on opening night is perfect.

dion waiters def won the battle w/ brad beal tonight

oh man, can i just say lol lakers. especially dwight's fts.

<3 pp & doc <3

shaq went 1-4!! how did he not know who gerald green plays for??

er, chuck. i need to go to sleep.

Ernie crushing Shaquille with the chair loooool

yeah that was fantastic

dominic mcguire was a tough one

"I want my accountant from Princeton, not my offense"

yeah i didn't know mcguire and willie green

the princeton offense was pretty much a juggernaut for the Kings but they had the best combo of passing big men ever

And they didn't have Kobe.

fire brown, call diantoni

no joke

just to say hi?

hey mike whats up yeah lol the princeton offense can you believe it anyway got to go ttyl

FUCK i forgot who he play for and went to bed!

the problem w/the princeton offense is they have eddie jordan there to implement it and hes not really very good

and also they have the greatest offensive freelancing point guard of the last...25?...years now and probably shouldn't stick him with a straightjacket of a scheme

also, didn't steve get divorced recently? all he has to do is show up in silverlake with that outfit and bam

damn, pflanns http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/10/31/3580020/heat-vs-celtics-kevin-garnett-ray-allen-rivalry

"This is Paul," she said. "He's been talking to people about you all summer."

Without breaking stride or turning around, Garnett spoke: "They tell you lies, man."

yeah... not sure what exactly his role is but it will be cool to see him write about the league in general (presumably)

ya just says writes abt the nba in his profile

http://www.sbnation.com/2012/10/30/3497238/los-angeles-lakers-hate-50-reasons

gotta say that i'm enjoying these new blake/kia commercials

they r really good

one thing i keep thinking about watching this game now is boston's rotation this year shows how completely embarrassing their rotation was last year esp after bradley went out

their bench was GARBAGE

god, cole looks fucking stupid. shooting form still looks improved tho.

hes going to an 80s party later

Really happy to see Collison play well last night. He can be a contender's pg as long as he doesn't have to be a big-time distributor / half-court pg.

starting to feel like bosh is underrated nationally now that he's been put thru the "you're way worse than wade & bron" gauntlet. he has to have the most complete offensive game of any big man in the league (maybe outside of... dirk?)

i love PP yelling at sullinger calling him "sully" during defensive possessions

Would like to go on record saying that both TrueHoop & SBNation's redesigns A) look prettier, and B) suck beyond belief now that there's about 3X more worthless pageview posts and I have to go clicking around for posts longer than a paragraph. Gonna have to figure out the feed URLs to I can just have a calm reverse-chron view of this shit.

I know this thread is named after that kanye song but I keep thinking of the fat joe song and imagining fat joe 'singing' the title and it's like ew

also want to register my late approval for 'LeBum Gaymes'

pau

pau doesn't hit threes also bosh is the best big man in the league cutting to the hoop (i learned this yesterday reading SI's nba preview issue which has an arguably unnecessarily long spread on the pick & roll)

lebron's... noises during/after a fastbreak dunk as mic'd by TNT were pretty "....."

so lebron's cramps - is this a thing now, didn't he cramp up real bad in the finals too

I mean is nobody feeding him potassium idgi

yeah that AAAHHHHHHH was really funny sounding, really flat and ogreish. xxp

Yeah he's had cramping issues before.

a handful of times in this game i saw terry doing something and immediately thought it was nate robinson. terry totes should've kept 31.

rondo's form looks way better too

youre right about those skills, it's close - and one is a natural 5 and the other a 4 - but pau is a much better passer and probably better with his back to the basket

yeah pau is better w/ his back to the basket def

dayo it's actually not based on billing address afaik... at least if NBA is the same as MLB. it's just based on where you're accessing the net from.

there's ways to get around it... i.e. tricking your browser into thinking you're overseas or using some sort of number to do that. if you google around a bit, you could prob figure it out. i saw people tweet/post about it during the MLB season from time to time.

good value for curry, if he stays healthy of course

both of those seem about right

yeah that's probably a bargain for curry if he can actually find the court

omg why

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Toronto and DeMar DeRozan have made progress today in talks on a 4-year extension, but no deal yet in place, league sources tell Y! Sports.

sure why not. he's one of the best players in the whole country

cant understand .......

.... nba teams ...

colangelo seems hellbent on destroying a team that could actually somehow be good

5/80 for harden, per woj

eric gordon: marcus thornton with constant injuries

there's nothing wrong with re-signing Derozan. Re-signing ok players is ok. But they'll pay him too much cuz it's Colangelo.

bosh doesn't hit threes either

the boston celtics would beg to differ

Bosh made 66 threes in 9 NBA seasons

pau hit 7 last year and Bosh hit 10

anyway even if he's not a knockdown 3 point shooter (which he may not be) he's made enough/showed that range to the point that he has to be guarded out there by bigs, which is kind of the point anyway

"which he may not be"

he's hit 66 threes in 9 NBA seasons at 29% wtf dude

well obviously i'm talking about bosh and the heat talking about him expanding his range out to the point and projecting a bit for this season based on him shooting 5-10 from three in the playoffs after he got back from his injury

i'm not saying that he's gonna be dirk on the perimeter or something but he has to be guarded out the three line if he's standing there and can hit that shot

i don't think teams would be too concerned about him out there. i'd rate him and pau about even overall.

yeah i mean i'm not gonna go to the mat defending bosh over pau... they're definitely in the same realm

you're saying that he's a more diverse offensive player than Pau because he can "hit threes" but he has shown no ability to do this on any consistent basis. Pau shot 40% from three in the playoffs, but everyone knows that a sample size of 5 shots doesn't mean crap. 10 shots doesn't mean crap either.

imo bosh has a long way to go to be compared to pau on off (as a 2 way player too)

not really sure if metta can ball; playoff time hell be ready tho

well if pau shooting threes was part of the lakers' offense (and it maybe it should be!) maybe it would mean more. there's been public indications that the heat plan to use bosh as a spacer out to and past the three point line where he can hit shots.

who you gonna believe, training camp hype or your lyin' eyes

well my eyes tell me he can hit threes now but i guess we'll see!

i mean i'm not basing this all on 10 shots of course but the combination of him taking and hitting shots in the playoffs as a concerted part of his game (not, like, end of shot clock heaving) and the fact that he's one of the absolute top mid range shooters in the league who should have little trouble extending his range to the three line if he worked on it in the offseason.

my eyes look at his basketball reference page

i may be totally wrong on this, we'll see in like 60 games. i'm betting on bosh having a really big year.

as long as the heat employ 4 3-pt specialists i don't really see bosh extending his range. they already pay guys to do nothing but stand in the corner.

it's ok to say that Bosh will hit threes in the future or something but to claim that he's superior to Pau in this area because of 5 threes in the playoffs and some positive comments from coaches in training camp is very homer of you

okay, i'll retract my statement that bosh is currently a better three point shooter than pau at the moment.

i think bosh has more range than pau (and he is quicker w/his shot plus actually jumps when shooting...both of which help in being a longish range threat) but yeah yet to be seen whether he becomes a legit concern behind the line for opposing teams

this is the least excited i've been about Bulls season opener since the Eddie Robinson/Ron Mercer era. they're not even playing an interesting opponent (kings).

pau > bosh

Kings are hella interesting to me because I am deranged

ugh god

i'm still scarred from the one half of wizards/kings that i watched last season

it sucks that the kings picked TRob, so boring

but Isaiah Thomas, Demarcus, Thornton, fuck yeah. Plus Jimmer is hilarious

so I'm haering harden is reupping for 5 years 80 mil?

yep

pretty dece - I wonder if he got one of those backloaded contracts

idk even what the strategic value of a backloaded contract would be

There was a really great piece written during the playoffs last year about Artest & his ongoing regression, wish I could find it quickly. The crux of it was that Artest had finally lost something in his legs I think, and he was no longer had elite reaction time on defense. So, he went from All-NBA defender to Actually, You Should Probably Go at Him defender. For whatever reason, I came away w/ the impression that Artest probably wouldn't get his legs back and would have to coast on his defensive reputation; once teams found out, he'd basically be out of the league.

Wasn't watching that closely but he looked fine last night. Wish I could find the piece again ... I totally wrote off Artest after reading-- it was very persuasive!

lol @ Bosh being some developing 3pt specialist or something. He's a great offensive player for sure, but it doesn't hurt to have two of the greatest penetrators of the last 20 years driving -> kicking the ball over. IDK how Bosh is a more complete offensive player than Pau since Pau has a much more mature post-up game / better passing skillz. Bosh better at creating .gifs, tho.

A more mature .gif game.

lol

emo bosh is def way better than any parody twitter associated w pau

also bosh has more letters than pau

Derozan is getting 4 years 40m o_O

pau also a better offensive rebounder

wasn't derozen like actively hurting his team?

he is a marginally ok player

kind of boneheaded no?

there was a story yesterday (and I've heard him talk about it before) about how Scottie "covets" head coach position. kinda think that being Fan Ambassador and asst to COO isn't the path to that??

my goddam league pass broadband isn't working yet. every fucking year

Naturally I think the Pacers have a better chance at a #2 seed than the Cs, but I don't feel crazy for thinking it. I thought Cs, esp. when healthy, were probably a better team last year. But gah, aside from Rondo, Cs best players aren't gonna be any better this year; Ps have a ton of young players who should have significantly better seasons compared to last. Plus, a full year to play together and get even more familiar. Like, I'm expecting the #2 seed w/ this team, and I think the'd be disappointed if they don't get it.
