The Official 72 Wins Ain't Gonna Hai in Miami 2010-2011 NBA Thread

[Yeti]

Figured it was time to get this started so that it can get abandoned in 3 weeks for the "Bulls are insignificant" thread.

But mostly because we need to know who JD's favorite team is this year and I was wondering if there was NBA fantasy this year that didn't involve ESPN.com (why aren't we on Yahoo again??).

Also, because fuck Miami.

I hope JD's team is the OKC Thunder. They are sweet.

Let's do a league on Yahoo. Pen, you just volunteered for commish. Nice work.

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're at 8 now, including some of my friends from the outside world.

I've extended to a couple others, would love to get to at least 10, then we can work out draft time.

Team PlayAroundBackThere is go.

Need 1 more team!!

Draft tomorrow at 5? What a cock.

Trouble reading?

I'm assuming that's rhetorical

Bump.  It's tonight.

Here's a fun read on Derrick Rose. Maybe not so fun but interesting.

Yep.  28 points on 31 shots is abysmal.  I love Derrick, but until he learns how to get to the free throw line (or actually improves at three-pointers), he's not going to break through and get to that tier-one-elite-level-star category that I just made up right now.

I think it changes when Boozer comes back, whenever that is. But I also don't think Rose is going to shoot THAT bad every game. Deng really needs to hit his jumpers.

This guy is pretty much dead on though. Pretty scary.

I didn't get to watch the game because I was at the UC but Bogans getting 36 minutes frightens me.

Yep.  28 points on 31 shots is abysmal.  I love Derrick, but until he learns how to get to the free throw line (or actually improves at three-pointers), he's not going to break through and get to that tier-one-elite-level-star category that I just made up right now.

I laughed.


Ok. I'm somewhat sort of interested in the NBA this season. I don't have a team to root for but I'm starting to appreciate the play on the court more than before. I refuse to watch an actual game start to finish. But I'm out of my doldrums and ready to re-up. I'll let you know when I find a team to support and get all asshurt about. Right now I'm leaning toward Miami because I'm a HUGE Pat Riley fan and also fuck you.

Just watch random games. There's a ton of talent out there. Did you see Monta Ellis last night? Holy shit that guy can score.

I watched the first 8-10 minutes of the Clippers game. That Blake gentleman looks ok.

If you're allowing yourself to just pick a team to root for, I'd go with the Thunder.  They're young, awesome and they play in one of the greatest cities in the world!

We'll swee what happens. Houston and San Antonio have Purdue and IUPUI guys who don't suck getting minutes, so those are possibilities.

If you're starting from scratch, you pretty much have to go Thunder.

If there was a Thunder of baseball, I would already have left.

While acknowledging the risk of my reputation to suffer a steep drop, I will say that I would agree with this PenFoe post.

I don't. I don't want another baseball team. If I was able to quit the Cubs I would just stop watching baseball altogether. Neither are going to happen.

Let's get back to basketball.

My bad. I was more referring to the basketball portion. Fuck baseball. The Thunder would be a fun, intriguing team to latch on to.

You guys can't just make up teams and root for them. Heh, Thunder. Nice. Ok, my new favorite team is the Kentuck Blue Grass or maybe the Toronto Teeth. No, scratch that. I'm going all in for the Saskatchewan Small Pox Infected Blankets.

Now of the teams that currently exist, I'm still leaning toward Miami. LeBron, like my former hero, Patrick Ewing, is on a mission from gord. Only, he probably won't fail. So, I owe myself a little bandwagon jumping to make up for my Quioxtic and ill-spent youth. Yay?
