NBA Basketball Thread 2007-2008: Regular Season

HOLY CRAP!

J-Rich has 15 points in the first 5 minutes of the first quarter against the Cavs. He's on some kind of roll right now, unbelievable. Keep it up J-Rich!

edit: I jinxed him

edit: I'm officially never saying anything good about a Bobcats player until the game is over. J-Rich has gone 1-19 FG since I made that comment. I hate myself. I'm fully blaming myself if we lose this game.

hahaha, that's horrible I'd probably kill myself if that happened. you should too. go on.

Rony did you watch today's game? We took down the Blazers in 2OT!!! It was a very satisfying victory, but I could not help but turn off the TV with a slight sour taste in my mouth -- that being the fact that Brandon Roy and LeMarcus Aldridge >>>>>>>>>> Italian p*ssy we have.

 

[rony31]

only caught the 1st quarter, but my friend kept calling me and giving me updates... is it true we blew a 7 point lead within a minute at one point?

 

[Deisler]

You know your team has hit rock bottom when $40 tickets sell for $25 AND they give you a free Tee.

DAMN RIGHT!!! F***ING EAT IT UP YAW ASS CELTICS!!! YOUR SUPERSTAR-TREATMENT AIN'T BE STOPPIN' THE SPANISH FLY!!! UNO DOS TRES!!!

I am so, so, so, so, very, very proud of the Raptors today for coming out against Boston and finally showing some manhood for once. Well done lads.

 

[Jacky]

giving up 16 offensive rebounds.. and turnover prone (esp the 1st half)
it's unbelievable that the raptors won ...
but man what a shooting night.. 3's from everywhere..

and caldy was solid again

 

[rony31]

my goodness Jose, you ******* sexy Spanish fly

The Celts have been mediocre since we made them look silly on their home court.

 

[Áļéאָ]

Celtics have been playing average the last month or so. Anyway, saw the game, raptors were shooting 70+% from 3pt. And Rondo didn't play any defence at all durring the game and in that last play. Raps are a 1st-2nd round playoffs team, Celts are a 2ndrnd - conf finals level team. That doesn't change. Btw KG is an arrogant badmouth prick. But he's too fkin good of a player for me to hate.

 

[Rocky]

Can't be anything worse than leading in the final minute of game and then losing to Minnesota. Nets need to blow it up.

man this thread is dead!

Wohhoo Jamaria Moon in dunk competition.

Rudy Gay!!! I feel this guy can do amazing stuff. J-rich like... hopefully

 

[twosmiths]

The Celtics are starting to slow down a bit. I thought there was a chance of maybe tying The Bulls regular season record of 70-12. But I guess they won't now...

You mean 72-10, and whoever thought the Celtics would actually win 70 games are idiots. Most people don't realize how hard it is to win 70 games with all the teams trying to prevent you from doing it plus the tremendous amount of effort needed. They'll win a league best 62-65 wins, which is certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

Everyone's probably seen Rudy Gay's slam dunk promo contest:

But some of the submissions are pure class

I think they are trying to avoid a Dallas like situation. They are already saving for the playoffs and at least to me, right now, it's pretty darn obvious. They could have gone for ~10 lost games (deff less than 15 anyway) but I doubt they would have been good in the playoffs against Detroid/orlando and maaaaaybe the Cavs. They are doing the wise thing.

Charlotte is gonna knock out Boston in the first round.
