NBA Regular Season Thread III

Allen and Chalmers miss wide open threes and the Blazers win.

No idea why Chalmers was in the game over Miller. I don't think Chalmers played at all in the 4th until that last play.

Big win for the Blazers. Overachieving like it's going outta style.

Hanta Yo · 01-11-2013, 12:26 AM

Surprise, surprise, Oden is going to try returning for the 13-14 season. Heat are the frontrunners.

Big win for the Blazers. Their depth may suck but their starting line-up's legit. Hopefully they can find a way to get some decent bench players at the deadline. Players like Dalembert, Chandler, Aminu, Heinrich or the like...

I'm happy Blazers beat Heat at least. Kings with ugly loss to Dallas. Great game though

I read the news last night and had a big laugh. Oh man, how long before the next set back?

davebenj · 01-11-2013, 03:16 PM

Knowing the Heat's luck, Oden will do a 180 and turn into the next Tim Duncan for them.

John Wall makes his season debut tomorrow tonight.

I hope he has worked on his jump shot. Doesn't even have to hit threes, just consistently hit the mid-range jumpers. He has the potential to be one of the best point guards and one of the best players in the league. So far it has been a very disappointing start to his career.

Cudi · 01-11-2013, 06:24 PM

I hope Greg Oden does well, would be a nice story.

Mathletic · 01-11-2013, 07:20 PM

Sullinger playing terrific ball for Boston. It's not like we didn't see this coming but anyways.

Muh · 01-11-2013, 07:52 PM

Knicks can't beat the Bulls. Down 41-24 mid 2nd, haha.

Just saw Rockets are 14-2 against the East. Pretty impressive.

Rafa Nadal · 01-11-2013, 08:11 PM

Wouldn't it make more sense if the benches at MSG were swapped? The players have to go through the tunnel on the opposite side of the arena. So if you're the Knicks, you have to pass by the visitors' bench.

Raps at 99, up by 21 points, 20 seconds left, Raps lose the ball, and the crowd lets out a collective groan. Love it.

Besides free, what kind of pizza? Papa Johns, Little Caesar's, Pizza Hut, etc?

And yeah, the Rampage (the AHL team) give out Chick Fil A coupons if the team scores 4, you can imagine the crowd and chants when they get 3

Hanta Yo · 01-11-2013, 09:12 PM

Pizza Pizza, a Canadian franchise which people claim tastes like cardboard.

Rafa Nadal · 01-11-2013, 09:13 PM

Are the Bulls championship contenders with a healthy D-Rose? 'Cause that's what seems to separate them from the way they were in the past 2 years?

davebenj · 01-11-2013, 09:16 PM

Bulls are very overrated in my opinion. I think even with D Rose, they won't win a championship as constructed now.

Edit: I think their roster and coaching is very impressive but they seem to have trouble putting it all together. They blow a lot of leads (though to be fair, they don't always lose these games), haven't usually had a quote on quote spectacular season when Rose has been healthy in previous years, have struggled in the playoffs, etc. I guess for me it's more of a I'll believe it when I see it
