[shannonscrooks]

That Sacramento Kings intro video is embarassingly poor. Why do they have Jimmer Ferdette shooting bow and arrows?

 

[jjs07]

@ the Knicks.

VERY early, but I'm eating my words right now. They look amazing.

 

[Coupé It]

Please stop.

Laker Fans talk about how Russell Westbrook, kevin love, and KD are going to LA but ya'll can't let the Mavs fan dream?



Hypocrites.

For those that have League Pass for XBox, I dont have wirelss on the XBox and usually hard line it to the router/modem, whatever the hell you call it. Can you still get the broadband? I also have zero hard drive and just the memory sticks, its the mots basic/crappy Xbox one could get at the time.

The Cavs were pretty much picking on DeAndre Jordan towards the end of the game.

But he's better than Tyson Chandler.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Damn, some of ya'll talking like its the NFL and there are only 16 games in the season

A team loses 2 games and they suck, a team has a 3-0 start and they title contenders, etc, etc. I could care less if my team started 0-3 or 2-1. They going to be in it at th end of the day anyway, so slow starts is not that big of a deal.

If this in reference to the Knicks - it's not just the 3-0 start. It's HOW they're winning. They're beating the breaks off of their opponents. Yes, I think everyone knows that a lot can happen from here on out...however, like I said before, it's how they're winning that's so impressive. I'm very curious to see if this cohesion can maintain it's course or if the Knicks will start doing Knick-like things. We'll see.

Once those 3's stop falling, it'll be anarchy in that thread

DC native being objective, nice.

Not to mention as much as people say Melo and Amar'e won't work (maybe they can't - themselves) but the ball movement and PG's will only make Amar'e flourish (if healthy). Knicks could be even better when he's back, whether he's coming off the bench or not.

But yea, it's a long season - the Knicks won't make every 3-point shot like they've been doing but their Defense and ball movement has been top notch, that won't change.

Other teams will get better tho.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Eh, DoubleJ's...let's see what the Knicks do when they play the Mavs, @Spurs, @Grizzlies, Pacers (4 out of next 5 opponents). No one should be eating their words about anything 3 games into the season.

Once those 3's stop falling, it'll be anarchy in that thread

That's why I mentioned in the thread I'm not gonna say **** until I see how they respond when Melo goes cold or they're not putting up Novak #'s behind the arc. I trust the ball movement will be there because of our new PG's but still gotta wait and see.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Eh, DoubleJ's...let's see what the Knicks do when they play the Mavs, @Spurs, @Grizzlies, Pacers (4 out of next 5 opponents) first. No one should be eating their words about anything 3 games into the season.

especially since they've played the 6ers twice. the 6ers aren't that good no matter what their fans on here say

 

[shannonscrooks]

Forgot to post this up, from early in game last night. Demarcus..........:x

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

how did you guys not see this during the game?? lmaoo @Bake Chicken

 

[coldcity]

why is fam holding chicken? i missed that

BUT that kyrie dagger was :x :x :x :x :x :x

 

[pmatic]

Chris Paul's late close outs on Dion Waiters last night. Bad awareness.

 

[young thundercat]

Never heard of Waiters before today but dude went unconscious. 7 threes fam?! Kyrie silky as usual

so you dont watch basketball.

 

[dat dude chris]

especially since they've played the 6ers twice. the 6ers aren't that good no matter what their fans on here say

We arent good at all. Our offense is terrible n the defense isnt much better but once Bynum comes back, hopefully that will all change

EDIT: LMFAO at Blake, theres 2 minutes left in the game and theyre down and dude is still acting like a clown lmao

 

[bhzmafia14]

Where did he get chicken from?!

The worst thing that can happen to this Thunder season is something that’s reared its head in every single game thus far. That’s egos creeping in and causing players to believe they’re better than. Tonight, much like the first two nights of the 2012-13 season, there was a ton of barking among Thunder players. At the end of the first quarter, Thabo Sefolosha and Russell Westbrook had to be separated from exchanging words as they walked to the bench. It was a show of anger that surprisingly was also seen from the same two as they walked off the court at halftime Friday night. Later, Durant chewed out Serge Ibaka for failing to grab a rebound. And of course there was the usual head-shaking between Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins whenever the paint went left unprotected. The problem is everyone has an opinion and everyone is sharing it. It can’t be that way. What’s happening now is that everyone is acting like they know best, almost like they’re the reason for the team’s success, like their poop doesn’t stink and the man’s next to them does.

I'm sure this happens between every team or maybe Harden was the glue of the team.

I like what this guy said:

It's interesting because losing Harden was more than just losing an elite part of their core--it was also ownership saying that they valued money of a championship after all of the sacrifice they have preached at guys before this. Add to that they did the deal right before the season started--so there's been no time to adjust--so there's the uncertainty about whether they are still as good--combined with incorporating all of these new players.

The reaction in that situation is always going to be to retreat back to individual concepts rather than the team--because you aren't certain what the team is.

Scott Brooks has a lot of work to do to rebuild team chemistry and get them just back to last year's level--and remember they need to be BETTER than last year.

I'm sure it's not helping them that Harden is making Presti look like a fool right now. I would imagine it bugs Westbrook a little bit that Harden is outplaying him now that he's getting starter's time. There have to be players on that team that blame Westbrook for Harden leaving--that Westbrook should have been the guy to go.
