reg season chat 08-09 featuring where u go now ai

our other random leaguewide chatter threads have strange titles

is AI really going to DETROIT today?!?

oh damn

Man, Billups AND McDyess? That seems like a risky trade for Detroit. AI isn't really AI anymore.

Also, I wonder how Dice feels about going to Denver for the third time.

shawn marion gets fit for a mask after breaking his nose

HOLY SHIT CRAZY TRADE 1ST WEEK OF THE SEASON YEEHAW!

chauncey :( ;_;

both guy epitomized their respective teams culture now headed to v diff places - im not sure what to make of this - chauncey will be good for denver w/his D steadiness and not needing tons shots - im struggling to imagine how iverson fits in detroit - tho having a dude who can get to the hole will def help their shooters - they didnt really solve their whole three starting quality backcourt players for two jobs problem tho

btw <3 a.i. n billups - sweet dudes all around

poly, dice is not happy and may opt to retire. that is just SAD.

Dice should at least see if the Nuggets flip him elsehwere. I understand that he's like an ultra-sensitive nice dude but he could do a lot of good on a strong playoff team.

guys i am getting a little misty over this :(

yah its def the end of an era when detroits movin chauncey in a straight salary dump - keep in mind dumars assembled that team from scrap tho - he can do it again

I guess AI is in his final year, and next year there are a bunch of awesome free agents out there. Very smart move by Dumars.

how much longer does sheed have

this is his last year too

excellent reference page http://hoopshype.com/salaries.htm

btw the year after next is when all the sweet free agents supposedly become available - even tho all of them will prob resign w/their current teams cause it pays so much better

does D’Antoni know that? the Garden is being dismantled in hopes that lebron is coming to resurrect that mess in 2010.

btw the year after next is when all the sweet free agents supposedly become available - even tho all of them will prob resign w/their current teams cause it pays so much better

I would rather make less in order to live in a city that isn't Cleveland (for example).

because teams can sign their own free agents to more money - and because any max deal is based on a raise over what a player was making in his previous contract - if youre a player that has a couple of max contracts left in his career it can add up to a $50m+ difference between playing for yr current team and going to a nicer place

lebron maybe will goto new york cause he can supposedly bridge that gap w/increased endorsements - but it unlikely lebron et al ever go to detroit

aaand any team unless they draft perfectly and manage to sign a few good players for way under market value will have to basically be in rebuilding mode to afford any of these max contract type guys - who wants to go to a rebuilding team - thats the catch 22 w/clearing cap space

i hopes he's right on the melo point, i'd really like to see that

i like this trade a lot for detroit

i think they realized they've been lapped by the cavs and the celts and maybe even orlando at this point so why not try to shake things up with a maverick move. i could see this really igniting them.

who's gonna guard ppl b/w rip and AI though

min and san antonio game is redic

jordan, mavericks lose. have you not been paying attn???

i don't need no sarah palin shit fucking up my team!

Carmelo Honors Woodrow Wilson

November 6, 2008 10:06 AM

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz

Carmelo Anthony wanted to honor President-Elect Barack Obama during last night's game against Golden State:

At the Nuggets' shootaround, there was a post-election buzz. Carmelo Anthony smiled and said, "I'm going to try to score 44 tonight," in honor of president-elect Barack Obama, who was elected Tuesday as America's 44th president.

Noble intention, to be sure. And an auspicious matchup if you want to go for 44 -- Golden State ranks 8th in pace.

Unfortnuately, Anthony finished with only 28 points on 13-30 shooting from the field. In doing so, Anthony pays homage to the nation's 28th President, Woodrow Wilson (D-NJ).

Gotta say, AI looks great in the Pistons uni.

melo cut his braids off!

"Sports have always been a central part of my life," Obama told SI.com before being elected president. "Growing up, I learned about competition and teamwork on the basketball court, and these days I try to get in a pickup game whenever I can.

"If I'm fortunate enough to move into the White House, I'd consider putting in a basketball court," he added.

the clips somehow manage to look and feel exactly the same w/ baron davis, w/ elton, w/o elton, whatever. they just have the stink, god lov3e em. watching them over the course of a year you feel like you're watching the same game over and over, it's just fucking weird is what it is.

yo tony allen is playing too this is nuts - notably absent is one kevin garnett - not feeling to great abt these playoffs dudes

u in boston? cavs are obv. my team but i live in western MA now so c's are up there. tho cavs def have a better chance i think.

im moving to boston this fall tho

i live in ny - grew up in newton tho

where r u moving

not sure yet - maybe cambridge or j plain

i used to live in jp - pretty sweet imo

justin.tv aint what it used 2 b

troo

just realized i get like the whole wizards season on local cable. lucky me rite?

is pierce out just for rest ?

in simmons' column today he was talking real apocalyptic about KG

dude has played a lot of games - they all have - theyre super old

lol @ birdman's faux-hawk tonite

could not be happier with how this season ended 4 the spurs (thank u rockets 4 being u)

heh nuggs are getting destroyed

Spurs win division because of refs in Sacramento game.

fuckin PUMPED for this, bringing my A game to the Rose Garden this weekend.

I'm happy for you Portland types, and I think you might win the series.

But Battier, Hayes, Landry, Lowery, Brooks, and Scola were a fun team to support this year.

joseph, you're got some tickets? I think I'll be going to any and all the games at the garden. Tonight was crazy. Portland crowds have become like a bunch of college kids whose unheard of school just made it to the final four.

*you've got, obv. I am delirious with ripcity fever.

Split season tickets with three other dudes, drew names from a hat for playoffs, my name came out first so I get game 1.

i'm trying to come up with a good solution for watching the road games with a good-sized crowd but like still be able to hear the in-game commentary. i can't just forgo listening to reggie miller be completely asinine on the big stage.

so cavs lost in overtime against philly last night......no record-tying. kind of a bummer

rumors now going around that kg will miss the entire playoffs. not really a shocka at this point but rip celts.

;_;

No kg? That's a bummer

oof

c's lose to orlando :(

Garnett's reaction?

"He was frustrated. He was mad at me, mad at everybody. Then he understood," Rivers said. "He put up a fight. He's really frustrated, but that's Kevin. That's why we got him, because he cares so much."

aw

i don't think they lose to orlando. orlando isn't really that good.

orlando is v good imo

wouldve been right in the hunt if not for nelsons injury

R.I.P. regular season

They could easily make the conference finals without him, and a healthier KG is really their only shot against Bron Bron imo. If he's hurt, I think they'll still have a good shot next year.

reg season in the books lock thread maybe?

who is teh ilh mod

a healthier KG is really their only shot against Bron

ya agree w/ this

i thought you were xp

no i think maybe there isnt one

i mean realistically if i were the mod thered be a couple people u wouldnt see posting here

laker fans? ;_;

lol no i mean i would prob bann kobe if he tried to post

btw polyphonic i owe u one imaginary dollar - tho i blame my loss solely on the failure to account for tanking

sup?

omg kobe squeeee!

schwwwwwwwww

I think that your basic premise that a healthy Warriors team is a marginally winning team was correct, though. But living in the Bay area and listening to people talk about the situation with the front office / Nelly / the players, I thought it would fall apart even more than it did, and I was impressed how well they played at times without their better players.
