What? No NBA 2012-2013 Thread Yet?

I don't know, Carlissimo def wasn't the answer in BK... Del Negro's wack ass got to the playoffs despite himself.

I would really say the The Nets are a Massive franchise. I'd say they are second or even third tier.


But they are now in New York and star power helps gets tickets. He's a built in name as well.





Knicks/Lakers


Nets/Clippers

What a finish to Game 6.





Britney Griner would take Chris Bosh in the post though. Weakest post defender I've seen in a minute. Forget the two blocks on smalls at the end. Tony Parker is a warrior. Ray Allen's D has always been questionable. Bron plays better without the headband.

I hope he gets All-Star status like Paul George next year.

I mean dude left his mark, but I wouldn't go that far yet....I could see him becoming a great role/niche player that fills the spaces and does what's necessary for the team for years. Dude doesn't really have the crazy athletic ability either to truly assert himself as a star player in the league. I like him though.





Don't get me wrong though. Being an All-star and playing a vital role for a championship-caliber squad don't necessarily mean the same thing.

I think he has the athletic ability. It depends on if Pop lets him get more opportunities within their system and for dude not to be scarred eclipsing the big three.
 
OptimusLime said:So. Doc Rivers to the Clippers? With possibly K.G. and Pierce? What the what.




What a great upgrade from Vinny Del Negro.





The KG + Pierce to LAC wasnty gonna happen.





I dont see how that helps The Clippers anyway. Both of them are old.


Maybe Pierce has some gas left, but the Clippers should be getting some younger talent.





Chris Paul is good but they cant build some all roll players team around him.


Griffin needs a post up game and they need another scoring threat.


Crawford can score but he's best as a 6th Man w/ a dominant PG there.

i am the epitome of conflicted.




Im going to miss Tyler. Every team needs a banger/lunch pail guy.


His offense slipped recently since he went to the bench, but hell do the dirty work that fake tough guys dont do.


Great for offensive rebounds and put backs. Aint blocking no shot and has a decent mid range jumper.
 
Pierce can still score just not as consistently as before. KG I don't know what he's got left. 90% of the time he doesn't look like he wants to shoot the ball anymore. Think he can still rebound though.

Those dudes will nothing left in the tank come playoff time. They looked dead this Playoffs.


And im not sure the Nets bench can help them rest up. Relying on those old men is NAGL.


They should be veteran supplements to a squad that needs a small push, not heavy contributers.
