2009 NBA Offseason Discussion

[led37zep]

As a Kings fan I'm pretty happy with the way things are going so far.

[Epschtein]

leon just 3/4 court and straight down the lane for a slam, the crowd is now chanting LEON POWE, im not a bit ashamed to admit i just started jacking...

;)

seriously tho, rock fuckin' hard.

[hammersavage]

Leon Powe is a man among boys.

Lakers have no shot to win this series with the way their playing defense. Officiating early was HORRENDOUS though its no excuse. I'm sure it'll be the same but in the other direction in LA.

That's a question that seriously must be addressed by the league. Why does the home team get to the stripe at least 10x more per game. They're so swayed its unreal.

[TeeBone]

Powe and KG cannot be stopped.

[Sue_Bender]

Why does the home team get to the stripe at least 10x more per game. They're so swayed its unreal.

What's the problem?

Home court advantage.

[hammersavage]

The home court advantage is having ref's call more fouls for the home team? How bout just calling the game as it actually happens?

Okay.

There you go.

[hammersavage]

Good point. Great discourse we had.

That was a sick run at the end. Lakers need to find their defense at home.

[Epschtein]

wow, too close! but 2-0 is all that matters.

player of the game? leon motherfuckin' powe! hehehe. ;)

[Fallon]

I fucking knew as soon as Peirce and Doc were laughing about being called for traveling the lead would be as good as gone.

Jesus Christ, you guys are the leaders of the team and totally fuck up a 24 point lead. They're lucky they fucking won.

Yep.

[hammersavage]

Here we go!!! Game 3 Staples Center!!!

Prediction: Lakers 36 Free Throw Attempts, Celtics 12.

[underdog]

Here we go!!! Game 3 Staples Center!!!

Everyone keeps harping on the FT attempts. The fouls were like Celtics 26 - Lakers 21. If the Lakers actually had a big man or took it to the hole, they might have had more FT attempts.

It was Lakers 28 Celtics 21. Most of the free throws occured when the Celtics were in the penalty because of the terrible ticky tack fouls that had been called early in the quarter.

Tonights not so bad but still heavy in favor of the Lakers. I'll just never understand how home court can effect what defines a foul. Lakers look much better tonight on the defensive end.

[underdog]

The refs don't want to be booed? That's the only thing I've ever been able to come up with. They hear the fans about to start rumbling and quickly call a foul.

The refs do react to the players flopping and faking, so if you were to add in 20,000 people or whatever faking at the same time, it's only expected that they'd react to that, too.

College basketball is about 1000x worse with it, though.

[Kevin]

Lakers are awful.

[PhilDeez]

With 2 minutes to go, the Celtics have the ball down 2. You would think they would set something up for one of the big 3, but no House fires one up with 20 secs left on the shot clock. WTF! It is like all the bench scrubs are dying to replicate what Powe did in game 2.

[Kevin]

Doc Rivers is TERRIBLE!


Carry on.

[TheGameHHH]

wanna know who's stepped up his game this year? Sasha

[Dudeman]

a pic of powe back when he played for the good guys

http://www.draftexpress.com/gallery/LeonPowe/1129748640.jpg

[hammersavage]

It was Sasha, Kobe and not much else for the Lakers. Very lucky to win this one.

I think they were clearly out of rhythm from the free throw line, they should shoot much better in Game 4 and if Odom and Gasol get their heads out of their asses the Lakers should protect home court.

[Fallon]

What a shit game. Both teams missing all those free throws was terrible.

[TeeBone]

WORST NATIONAL ANTHEM EVER!!!!!!

[hammersavage]

any chance lakers keep pace and win by 84?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

what a fucking game


Celtics are unreal just to comeback from 24

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Best NBA Finals Comeback Ever!!!!!!!!


Well Done Celtics...

[Epschtein]

OH HELL YEAH!

what a game... what a fuckin' game!

[Kevin]

I have seen MJ and Kobe, You're no MJ

[underdog]

I have seen MJ and Kobe, You're no MJ

Kobe could be one of the best players to ever play the game.

He's nowhere close to MJ.

It's like when people compare hockey players to Wayne Gretzky. There's noone who can compare.

[Kevin]

Kobe could be one of the best players to ever play the game.

He's nowhere close to MJ.

It's like when people compare hockey players to Wayne Gretzky. There's noone who can compare.

No WAY MJ lets this happen. Especially in an NBA final.

[PhilDeez]

What a come back. I am rooting for the C's, but are the Lakers just retarded?
Down 3 with around 25-30 seconds left, Sasha lets Ray Allen just drive to the hoop for an uncontested lay-up that basically sealed the deal. Then down 5 at the end Sasha and Kobe both take 2pt shots right at the 3 point line instead of a 3 - they missed so I guess it is a mute point but just seemed extremely stupid play the last minute for the Lakers.

[hammersavage]

I think the Kobe/MJ conversation is forever dead. And furthermore, i wouldn't compare him to Lebron James at this point.

The most amazing collapse/comeback I've ever seen. I knew there would be a run, but the Celtics winning never even entered my mind halfway through the 1st quarter. I'm stunned.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

fuck comparisons


the only comparing is 3 to 1

Celtics vs Lakers, who gives a fuck about any single player

[TeeBone]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait for KG to get his first ring.

[OGC]

any chance lakers keep pace and win by 84?


I guess not.

[jonyrotn]

Unfuckingbelievable!

[Kevin]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait for KG to get his first ring.

AND THAT'S HOW YOU DO VERY LITTLE FOR YOUR TEAM IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMEBACKS IN HISTORY...



YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEA!

[Epschtein]

are you kidding? he had a few key buckets and was a MONSTER on defense, just what they want from him...

[Kevin]

are you kidding? he had a few key buckets and was a MONSTER on defense, just what they want from him...

Eh, If i was gunna pick a Celtic to be happy about getting a ring is Peirce.

And LA does not have that big man that can give him trouble.

[TheGameHHH]

the lakers should be embarrassed with themselves. what an awful display.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

AND THAT'S HOW YOU DO VERY LITTLE FOR YOUR TEAM IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMEBACKS IN HISTORY...



YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEA!

Dude, your a Knick Fan, your trash talking ends here

[Kevin]

Dude, your a Knick Fan, your trash talking ends here

Who is talking trash? If the C's lost, it would be talking trash...

Sorrrrry.

[ralphbxny]

Great game. Fuckin Celts!! Lakers stink on ice!

[Fallon]

OH HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL YEAH!!

What a fucking game, I was getting nervous when the C's tied it up and couldn't grab the lead, but once they got it they were on a fucking roll. I can't wait for game five!!

[Kevin]

I have been telling Fallon for the longest.

C's Rule.

[Snoogans]

Lakers in 5

[Kevin]

Lakers in 5

That would be pretty damn impressive.

[Fallon]

Lakers in 5

You want Kendra Wilkinson as an avatar again? I'LL DO IT!

[TeeBone]

AND THAT'S HOW YOU DO VERY LITTLE FOR YOUR TEAM IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMEBACKS IN HISTORY...

Dude, I went to High School with the guy and we've all been wanting this for him for a very long time. He's cool and deserves a ring.
I'll reserve my comments about your prickery but your making it difficult.

[A.J.]

I called my Dad at halftime to bitch about the shitty first half and he calmly reassured me, "the Celts are coming back".

Dad rules.

[Kevin]

Dude, I went to High School with the guy and we've all been wanting this for him for a very long time. He's cool and deserves a ring.
I'll reserve my comments about your prickery but your making it difficult.

Not saying he does not. And i did not know about your background with him. I just ment that If you are a Celtic fan, you would tend to be much more happy for Pierce.

[Epschtein]

i will be happy for all of them of course, but yeah, most happy for pierce because of his loyalty and he is such a decent guy.

it just sounded like you were downplaying KG's contribution.

anyone got a link to the team stats for just the finals so far? i felt like a retard trying to figure out where to see them on espn.com

im curious to see them in general, but mostly because i dont think big baby has been on the court yet in the finals, has he? makes me kinda sad, maybe he will get in there at some point and have a memorable moment before its over...

Umm...Fallon. You feeling ok?

this is pretty odd shit bro.

[spadanko]

Chris Mihm? Really Phil?

[hammersavage]

here we go again. this time it was a 19 pt. lead in about 6 minutes.

[Epschtein]

im pretty happy they didnt let the lead grow until half time tonight, had to figure lakers were going to come out gangbusters.

it is crazy to think a team can score 39 points in a quarter and then be held to just 6 points for the first 8 minutes of the next quarter.

for some reason i think the celtics win this one, doc's father dying, pierce and powe being new first time fathers, its fathers day... idk but i just have a feeling they are going to get it done. in a squeaker.

[TeeBone]

Celtics in the 3rd quarter...
WATCH OUT!!!!!

[PhilDeez]

I am rooting for the C's and a huge Garnett fan, but come on man! 1-3 from the line in the last 4 minutes. The last two to tie game, that is just weak.

[TeeBone]

DAMMIT!!!!!:thumbdown:

[Epschtein]

yeah garnett has to hit those free throws, ah well it was there for the taking.

gonna have to win it in boston, and they will!

[Kevin]

yeah garnett has to hit those free throws, ah well it was there for the taking.

gonna have to win it in boston, and they will!

Garnett has missed alot of tip ins also.

[PhilDeez]

Garnett has missed alot of tip ins also.

Was just getting ready to write the same. He also got abused by Gasol on the boards which is ridiculous.

[Kevin]

When ever Bos wins this. This would be the 1st Bos title won in Boston since i think 86. The Pats won on neutral fields and the Sox won both on the road.

[jonyrotn]

I'd rather win it on the parquet anyway..

[Fallon]

Garnett needs to show up at the Garden, Rondo too. Pierce can't do this by himself.

[underdog]

STOP PLAYING CASSELL.

And please play House and Posey more.

Also, I was really wrong about Ray Allen. He was just saving all his games for the finals. You're the best, Ray.

[A.J.]

Game 6 in Boston? David Stern has wood.

[Epschtein]

Game 6 in Boston? David Stern has wood.


he's not the only one... :P

[Knowledged_one]

And please play House and Posey more.

Also, I was really wrong about Ray Allen. He was just saving all his games for the finals. You're the best, Ray.

I agree that guy is a freakin black hole, if they pass it to him he is going to shoot every time. He did hit some shots but he never looks to pass at all and is hurting the team

And garnett was definetly not clutch from the free throw line yesterday

And Kobe definetly fouled pierce on that steal

[Boyzbigg]

Couldn't think of another place to post this but, did anybody catch the segment where Bill Walton and his son were sitting and talking about dad's time riding the bench in Boston. It had to be the most awkard 10 minutes on t.v. in a long time and the end where Luke just realizing it was Father's Day was priceless!:dry:

[Doctor Z]

Why do good things happen to bad people?

[TeeBone]

Its almost OVER!!!!!!

[Kevin]

Nice to see the Lakers show up for gm 6..

[Epschtein]

Ichiban!

[TheGameHHH]

maybe kobe is making another "statement".......truth be told i didnt watch this game because i figured if the lakers won id be happy to watch game 7 and if the celtics won, well then its over and fuck the celtics.

i think whats good, at least not from the vantage point of a lot of NBA fans, is these two teams have a shot at meeting again in the finals next year. with bynum back the lakers have a great shot at winning

Eh, Lakers need a lot of work and MUCH better D.

[nevnut]

When it comes to championship games and the team I like isn't there, I usually cheer for a West Coast team.

But I fucking HATE the fucking Lakers and Kobe Bryant, and I've always kind of been a Celtics fan.

GO Celtics!!!

[Friday]

i am watching basketball.

what is going on here?!!?

this is a nutty series though.
and it looks like Kobe and the LAL team is going down.

sorry, Frank Black! :bye:

[TheGameHHH]

Eh, Lakers need a lot of work and MUCH better D.

work where aside from D? I do agree that they need help there. At times this year they played very good defense, but more often than not they were flat out lazy defensively. Adding that big body in Bynum down low not only improves their offense but it makes them a lot tougher on defense.

[Kevin]

Because they over achieved this year and got exposed in the Finals. And you do not know how Bynum will come back.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Ray Allen for Mayor


He is lights out

[TheGameHHH]

Because they over achieved this year and got exposed in the Finals. And you do not know how Bynum will come back.

they got exposed on defense, in the finals, against a great team. how does finishing number 1 in the western conference and getting to the finals classify as over-achieving?

[Epschtein]

the lakers might be better next year, but you think the celtics wont be?

rondo and perkins wont improve? the second coming of the big three wont get dramatically better together?

[TheGameHHH]

the lakers might be better next year, but you think the celtics wont be?

rondo and perkins wont improve? the second coming of the big three wont get dramatically better together?

which is why i said the two teams have a good chance of meeting in the finals again next season. all those things should happen, i just like L.A. chances better the second time around.

[Epschtein]

good enough, i dont see any reason to like their chances next year but...

its over! the boys pulled it off! boooooooooooooo ya!

It's been a long 22 years: all the lousy draft picks and trades, the deaths of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis, the misery of the the Pitino years and almost losing our Captain to a stabbing. It's a bit ironic that the "Curse of Len Bias" would be ended by a guy wearing number 34 (a number that is certainly going up to the rafters).

This is for Red, Lenny and Reggie.

Were they on the active roster? Every game I watched, they were in suits.

[cougarjake13]

Were they on the active roster? Every game I watched, they were in suits.

doesnt matter they're still part of the team and will get rings

let me check their status

scalabrine played in 48 reg season games
polard in 22 games

neither made an appearance in the playoffs

[underdog]

doesnt matter they're still part of the team and will get rings

Yeah, but maybe Whitlock was just talking about the active roster.

[cougarjake13]

Yeah, but maybe Whitlock was just talking about the active roster.

oh he is

he says so in the first couple paragraphs

but in the article headline it doesnt

so its kinda misleading in efforts to say what he wants it to say

[OGC]

Were they on the active roster? Every game I watched, they were in suits.

Pollard hadn't played since the Celtics signed P.J. Brown back in March.

[Fallon]

Pollard hadn't played since the Celtics signed P.J. Brown back in March.

I think he had surgery on both ankles.

Both white players sucked anyway. People just cheered for Scal cause he was white and it they were goofing on him.

I dont know man, I still think the Lakers can pull this one off in 5

Trade RJ to the Bucks for Bobby Simmons and Yi-Jianlin just so they can have cap space when Lebron is done in Cleveland.

Should have traded VC and kept RJ. Rj is younger and better.

i know everyone is gonna pull the Jay-Z card with the Nets but wouldn't you want to play for the knicks over the nets if your LeBron? Worlds Most Famous Arena (and best place to get sexually harrassed), always a packed house even if you suck, Manhattan, all that good stuff.

Knicks would have to make magical moves to get under the cap by then though.

Nets will have a brand new arena to play in as well.

And Milwaukee fans would have fucking hated Vince. We've hated him since his days in Toronto when he would start fights with the Bucks.

Freaking Nets.

Trade RJ to the Bucks for Bobby Simmons and Yi-Jianlin just so they can have cap space when Lebron is done in Cleveland.

Who is gunna want VC? I am sure they tried to trade him instead.

i actually dont know the numbers but from everything people keep saying, especially knicks fans, is that the knicks will have a ton of free money by the time lebron is up.

Which is true but its only if they dont resign people or sign new players.

the only current contract they have extending into the 2011/2012 season is Wilson Chandler. everyone comes off the same time Lebron does 2010/2011 season.

Yea, they are not going to sign anyone past 10. They might trade David Lee tonight just because they don't want to re sign him.

[hammersavage]

Really happy with the Nets draft. Lopes gives them a big body and I think CDR was the best value pick of the draft. He will be an excellent pro. And I guarantee that Lebron is a Brooklyn Net in '10.

With Pax resiting his urge to be an idiot and actually drafting Rose like he should have, I can't wait to see how he creatively fucks this team up before the next season.

And what will the Commish do about that??? EVERYONE is speculating that there's this underhand sealed and delivered deal of James going to the Nets courtesy of Jay-Z. I hope there is no way that there is evidence or what not floating out there of this. Remember the situation with the Timberwolves a few years back.

I'm jealous that you guys got Ryan Anderson. He's from my high school alma mater and brought us our first state championship. He's a great shooter and tall. He lead the PAC-10 in scoring as a sophmore for a shitty Cal team. He's better off in the NBA.

In the summer of 2000, Matt Geiger's refusal to waive a trade kicker clause in his contract stopped a four-team deal between Philadelphia, the Hornets, the Detroit Pistons and the LA Lakers that would have sent All-Star player Allen Iverson to the Pistons.

I have no idea what a trade kicker is, though.

Also, didn't Devean George stand in the way of the Mavericks making an awful trade this year? Its not a no-trade clause, its something else.

trade kicker is not a no trade clause. Trade kicker has to do with a salary cap requirement. Since Geiger did not want to waive his trade kicker (the amount of salary he would get over the years on his contract and how it is applied to the salary cap). So it wasnt that he had a no trade clause but since the salary cap was too close and he didnt waive his trade kick they could not complete the trade within the restraints of the salary cap.

i would think it would probably be ben gordon, based on things. No one seemed to want heinrich, and gordon isnt in the bulls future.

I can't say I blame you.

But I kind of like betting all sports early in the season. If you can find a good angle, or have a good feeling about something, you can usually get a favorable line.

I have to think the Heat are going to be quite a bit better than the Knicks this season (even though neither will make the playoffs).

So to get points, that's tough to pass up.

The Sixers bet is really the one that could go either way. Toronto's arguably going to be right on the same level as them this season. I think I'm just banking on it being a tough place to open the season for the Raptors.

It wouldn't shock me at all of Toronto killed them tonight, though.

Your top 6 should be locks (I think Philly will make it, but not at 3), but those bottom two spots I feel like are wide open.

Bynum signs 4-year extension

The Los Angeles Lakers have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension with center Andrew Bynum worth about $58 million, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing sources familiar with the negotiations.

The deal would keep Bynum under contract with the Lakers through the 2012-13 season, according to the report. The first three years of the deal are reportedly worth nearly $42 million, with a team option fourth year for about $16 million.

Bynum, who will earn $2.8 million this season, showed significant improvement for the Lakers in 2007-08 before being lost for about half of the season and the playoffs to an injury. His healthy return is one reason many observers are touting the Lakers as a favorite to return to the NBA Finals and win the championship.

"We want Steph. We want Steph," a small portion of the crowd at Madison Square Garden chanted as New York was comfortably ahead late in the third quarter of what would eventually become a near collapse as the Mike D'Antoni era kicked off with a 120-115 victory Wednesday over the Miami Heat.

The chant broke out again early in the fourth, and your ears really perked up this time because of the way most of the crowd responded to the chant -- by drowning it out with boos.

good, fuck you steph

I was at that game and the "chant" was barelu audible. The boos in the fourth were much louder. No one wants Steph, I was a fan of his, but I'm fucking fed up with his shit now.

yea even during the time late when miami was coming back, every time the knicks hit a shot, the place was just on fire. I couldnt believe it. So much more fun this year with these kids runnin around

At least they should be fun to watch. I'm sure blowing the double digit leads wont change, because thats the kind of team the Knicks are. They get lazy when they build up a big lead. I really enjoy the play of Wilson Chandler. The fans were also very supportive of Galinari, when he took his first two shots everyone stood up, then they bricked and we all sat down.
