Official 2012/2013 NBA Season

With the regular season less than a week away, we should get this started.

A lot of teams lookin really different.
My warriors are looking like playoff contenders this year IF we can stay healthy. Curry already with another light ankle sprain on that same ankle. I really really hope he can stay healthy. Haven't seen Bogut play yet, but I think we're looking pretty good on paper with Rush, Landry, and Jack coming off the bench. Klay has shown his worth and barnes is looking like a very solid pick.

Dwight always in the headlines, looking like Dwight is still Dwight although lakers haven't won this preseason yet, I still think they're gonna win the conference.

Woot, lets get it started. Looking forward to Curry coming back, though I imagine he'll be injured in week 4. Looking forward to the new and improved Lebron hater arguments, since that whole 'clutch' thing got buried in the playoffs and olympics. Looking forward to lakers fans thinking howard will solve their problems, and looking forward to OKC reminding lakers that OKC is still the best team in the west. 

^^ All Winter Olympic events must be "played" on Ice or Snow.

What's the line on my local Golden State Warriors winning the championship?  10,000 to 1?   Or even worse?

David Stern retiring in 2014. Cool, time for some new blood in there.

wow theres gonna be a no flop rule...

Originally posted by lightning80 can someone remind me why basketball is part of the summer olympics when the nba plays in the winter?

I think it's because the WNBA plays in the summer, and that's the purer type of basketball.  No dunking.  Better fundamentals.  More fun to watch. I don't know about it being more fun to watch but I do agree with the fundamentals in the womens' game.

Femputer.. get off of TruSnow ;)

The Harden trade was a good move for OKC since they would have lost Harden anyways. Now, they get Kevin Martin, a prospect in Jeremy Lamb and a couple of future picks. For Houston, with Jeremy Lin and Harden, it's going to be a team that's going to be fun to watch. Not sure if the other players included in the trade are going to be factors.

Part of me thinks that Harden was tired of coming off the bench,

Top 3 things I'm looking forward to:

i'm anxious to see how the new dallas mavs will do this year. half of the roster from last season is gone including some key players like jason kidd and jason terry. the starting center is gone too. new pg, darren collison, new centers kris kaman, eddie curry, and rookie bernard james, new starting sg o.j. mayo. elton brand coming off the bench..and a couple of other new players. if they can build some chemistry, they might have a chance at competing...if not, it's going to be another failed year..

Can't wait for the LA game tonight!! NBA NBA NBA!!

So I realized something last night.  I was listening to the Heat's game on ESPN as I was driving in my car, and suddenly... I didn't really care that much.  Just a little too early.  I liked the way it was last year.

Hilarious!!!

Kobe share?

OJ and Collison.. loadin up with Pac-12 (10 at their time of collegiate play) Cali folks!

Can't believe the season has started, I don't usually watch till it's closer to playoffs.  I really like this season with more super teams. I still want lebron to win the championship. Actually anyone but Kobe.

Mike brown is definitely part of the problem because he wants steve nash to run the offense more than he wants nash to improvise. The biggest problem, though, is the lack of emotion, which has been their issue the last 2 seasons

Originally posted by cheemaster Warriors start the season with a win and the lakers fall to 0-2. Great day hahabut seriously, Warriors looked terrible in third quarter going into the fourth. That bench squad just looked out of sorts. Curry and david lee couldn't hit anything at all and they just looked like they were forcing shots. Came out with a win and I'll take it. Bogut looked good for the limited amount of time he was limited to. I'm excited if we can stay healthy. Get some chemistry going and we'll for sure be playoff contenders.

I'm happy the warriors won too. But injuries have been their downfall for years. An ugly win is still a win.

Originally posted by mluu003 Originally posted by mj2delmenico The Lakers first game was a bit of a flop but as Broys said it takes some time to gel. The Heat didn't get things going for the first 20-odd games I think when they were formed. It's a hard one with Nash, him running the floor like he did in other places would work great using Dwight in the pick and roll situations but then there's Kobe. It's going to be fun watching how this team turns out Bummed they lost again tonight. Everyone is saying the problem is the mike brown...but they seriously need to play better as a team! So aggravating to watch, even as a Lakers fan!

Originally posted by lightning80 from what i saw on tnt...they say the lakers run the princeton offense...just wondering..how many championships have princeton won?

0 NCAA tournament titles, 1 NIT tournament title. (1975). They are in the record books as one of the best performances as a 16 seed in the NCAA tourney (in 1989 they lost to Georgetown 50-49).

That Miami Boston game was nice... if that is any indication of the games to come, this is going to be an awesome season.  I'm hoping Kyrie and the young Cavs can make a decent run.
