2013 NBA Season News and Discussion

[Gumboy]

Saying things like "i hope nobody gets hurt!" is something that should be baked into your everyday life. "Derrick rose is stepping out of an SUV, I hope he doesent get hurt!" "Kevin Love is doing pushups again, I hope he doesent get hurt!'


No clue if its on TV or not. I'll be at work at the time so no go for me anyway :P

[Blueobelisk]

Oh! I see it El Plastico. It's on ESPN.

[Blueobelisk]

Oh shit I missed it.

USA USA USA USA!!!!

But seriously, is there anyone that looks as awkward as Plumlee when he plays? even when he does really good plays he just looks hilarious.


Also, rose needs a haircut, BAD. I didn't even recognize him.

Wow... I would have loved to see anything beyond naked supposition for any of those...

[Blueobelisk]

[Gumboy]

Is that showing the friendlies as well? Because I thought they had a game at west point coming up?

[Blueobelisk]

Wait what the fuck is with that stuff being at Madison Square Garden. Should I be going to see this shit?

- - - Updated - - -

The scumbag seats cost $62. The pretty solid seats are like $226.

I don't really care that much lol. I actually think I'd only pay big $$ to see a game is for a social occasion now (like to bond with grandpa or something). Going for the sake of supporting a team seems stupid unless you get season ticket savings.

I wish I could get someone to share buying season tickets with. Like at least a 4 way. Wouldn't mind splitting only seeing 4 games (from baller seats) with 10 other people. 'Was checking Orlando Magic Loge (private 4 box premium seating) prices and its like $40-60k. $40k/11 people sharing (since you have to buy whole season) = $3636. It's like $909 per game ($227 per seat) but you get like waiters that come over to you + pro seats + I think you go to the Amway Arena's restaurant. Probably shitty food but if I had 3 family member's we'd stuff our faces.

Speaking of which, my peasant self has to check Orlando single game prices. I might defer 6 months of school and spend some time with grandparents in FL while working on company, so I'll be free lols...

If Matrix has anything left in the tank, that could be a real nice pickup.

[Gumboy]

Anyone else see that naked kobe statue some guy made with a big ol snake wrapped around it? I want to order that bitch for my front yard! Thing looked fly as hell.

He's almost gotta have 15 minutes a night of corner-3's-and-D left in the tank.

Shit, by minutes played, Ray Allen was the starting two-guard for the Heat last year, and he's like 3 years older?

[Blueobelisk]

7 PM NBATV. It's kind of Jepoardy time but I'll try to be there.

- - - Updated - - -

Just caught the game. It's actually pretty boring. Low intensity. But it's held in New York so...not a shocker there.

DRose sat out because his knee was sore. I very honestly don't think it's anything, but I bring it up because there's nothing else to talk about ZZZZ.

[Gumboy]

I thought he specifically said it was NOT his knee that was sore, that it was just fatigue in general?

Also complete blowout :P

"Well, you won't be a "starter", but come on, you're Ray Allen."
"I guess I'm taking my talents to South Beach"

Who on the Cavs is going to be Bron's enforcer? He left Bird and UD, brotha like Bron needs his henchmen.

Enforcer was a lot more important 25 years ago. None of the teams that are contenders employ those tactics that now that the Pacers have descended back into the bucket. In any case, any large bench player will do if needed

Minnesota expected to get Thaddeous Young, Wiggins, and Bennett in the trade, dayum thats quite a haul.

"Mbah A Moute and Shved" and the cavs first rounder (will be a late pick anyway) for Thaddeous Young.

That's an amazing haul for the Timberwolves. Thaddeus Young for essentially a 1st round pick. That pick might be Memphis or Miami's that Cleveland owns (Probably Miami's). Cleveland gave up their own 1st to Boston on that Jarret Jack deal last month.

[Gumboy]

Also thaddeus is a super cool name, reminds me of like a frankenstein movie or something for some reason.
