NBA-GAF I've come to the realization that basketball is the only sport I actually like watching live but I'm completely out of the loop on well...everything actually regarding the NBA. Is there like a primer somewhere?

Way to make him another JR Smith fan if he plays online

[alr1ght]

The Cavs played 4 D-Leaguers significant minutes (2 started) last night (31/37/19/18) and still beat the Wizards. Lulz

Get NBA 2K12. Game is complicated as hell but it really does teach you a lot about the NBA (beware of the cheating AI though), the game's commentary also serves as a good orientation on teams and players as well as other knick-knacks of NBA information.

edit: dammit DY

I didn't listen but is Boozer saying "Yes I deserved to be criticized by the fans I will play better"? because that's what it looks like

if so he is being the ultimate con man once again. But I'll go listen

Con man? Boozer? You must have him confused with someone else.

Have you guys seen the stats that show that Wade and Lebron are at their best when the other is on the bench? O believe the team performed better this way, as well with +/-

Kind of alarming imo

Nah, not really. Finals last year, 2nd in the East this year. All apart of the plan.

If you have less people to share the ball with on the court, and you are elite, your stats should go up.

Kinda why the HEAT play .900 ball w/o Wade. Doesnt mean they will chip without him though.

You have 3 ball dominant offensive players on the same team. I'm not surprised.

Who's the third?

 

[jordan0386]

Who's the third?

To be fair, they make every effort to not pass Bosh the ball.

 

[AgentChris]

Wasn't Boozer and Bosh free agents at the same time? The Bulls chose poorly.

 

[DY_nasty]

To be fair, they make every effort to not pass Bosh the ball.

Until its winningtime

 

[charsace]

Who's the third?

Mr. Jab Step-Pump Fake-Jab Step-Pump Fake that's who.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Yeah, they "chose" Boozer, lol.

Not that Boozer coming to the Bulls was a bad thing. In fact, it was a great thing!

 

[DY_nasty]

They might have actually been better off with Joe.

 

[SoulPlaya]

They might have actually been better off with Joe.

There was no way the Bulls were matching a $120 mil contract to Joe Johnson.

jus sayin

joe somehow doesn't steal as much money as booze. it might've worked out better seeing as joe wants no part of being the #1

If the Bulls had Bosh last year, I think they would have won, but Bosh was attached to Wade's penis, and Joe Johnson wasn't turning down $120 mil.

Oh, how things could have been.

Kings Unlikely To Offer Evans Maximum Extension

The Kings are unlikely to offer Tyreke Evans a maximum extension this summer unless he displays significant improvement over the remaining part of the season.

"(Evans has) already proven he's a very good player," Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said. "Going forward for his game to continue to grow, he's got to continue to work on areas of his game that need improvement."

Petrie declined to discuss the Kings' plans for Evans, saying a decision won't be made until after the season.

"Before going public (with talks), you should have the private ones first," Petrie said.

Evans, for his part, would like to re-up with the Kings.

"I like it here," Evans said. "I got drafted here, so I'd really like to be here. But I've got to wait and see what happens. You'll never know what's going to happen."

I hope when 'Reke inevitably starts playing his ass off next season in response to this that the Kings FO realizes the correct move will be to trade him for some serviceable pieces while his value has temporarily increased instead of falling for the fool's gold.

 

[Gabyskra]

They might have actually been better off with Joe.

Might? There's no doubt IMO, given Gibson's level of play.

Derrick Rose
Joe Johnson
Luol Deng
Taj Gibson
Joakim Noah

JJ is somewhat clutch too.

Yeah 2k12. In addition maybe looking at past playoffs and drafts on wikipedia? If you come here a couple times you'll pick up bits and pieces and some history just by osmosis too.

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

Bosh is gonna get bitched around by Chandler though =/

We're probably going to run a Wade/Battier backcourt a lot today.

Don't forget JR Smith not giving a fuck. I can only hope that it's threes going in rather than not, either way no fucks will be given today.

is shump still hurt? :/

I think Shumpert guards LeBron if he's not too hurt. I would love to see it.

Where's Lewis Hamilton when you need him to put a dick in her mouth to shut her up

 

[OddSpoon]

Anyone think John Wall be traded?

If this was 2 months ago, GAF would be saying Boston would trade Rondo for Wall to "rebuild around, future future future."

And I see the Cavs winning maybe 1 or 2 more games (det. and wash.)

C'mon Baron...

 

[victreeb3l]

wow baron missed em both? :|

now melo too? wtf? do they have jitters or something

 

[DY_nasty]

Bosh is gonna get bitched around by Chandler though =/

All anyone has to do is get a big in that can shoot to get Chandler out the middle. Knicks can't rotate and they still lack personnel.

 

[victreeb3l]

knicks playing like absolute shit, wonderful

 

[AlphaSnake]

Baron with the shit pass. Take the shot!

 

[Judderman]

Baron with the shit pass. Take the shot!

Yeah, he hesitated there.

 

[Gabyskra]

Defense is good, good rotations.

 

[Bay Maximus]

Miami actually playing with sense of urgency thus far. This could get interesting.

 

[Judderman]

LeBron's hairline exposed!

...and another TO.

 

[ph33nix]

two straight bankers by wade from the same spot...mmm
