Hey bro,i told u am not buying that Knicks circus and they proved me right last night against the Grizzs, i know u might be tempted to excuse them for one game, but if u look deeply u would realize what i mean, the Knicks live and die by 3 the points and when that is not going for them, they are rattled, they do not have a post game(save for R. Wallace), which is critical in post season, although i agree they are sharing the ball better than they did last season but their defense is still erratic..

Am not buying this Circus, they remain first rounders, at best second rounders in the post season for me.

Ninja chill! I never said they would go all the way all I said is They may be on to something.
Losing to the Grizzlies aint no shame! Arguably the best frontcourt in the league (Z-Bo,Marc Gasol,Rudy Gay) stop it man didn't they beat the Heat as well some days back?
Lol so Melo doesn't have a post game? Remember they are still missing Amare as well

Smh @ Mavs losing to a Danny Granger-less Pacers

Don't tell me u have high expectations of an injury prone Amare this season? besides, Amare does not fit the Knicks, he fights to get space to post up cos of Chandler and Melo thus ends up shooting a jumper which the Knicks would prefer, so am not even buying the return of Amare as something huge.

As for the Mavs, i gave my predictions about them before the season commenced and it still remains same, they would suffer and would barely make the playoffs, Mark Cuban killed this team himself and pls no one should expect anything from Dirk when he comes back, i just feel sad for one of my favourite coaches Rick. Carlisle, he's just helpless.

Meanwhile, big ups to the Bobcats and Jordan for a 3 game winning streak and getting above the 500 pct, they have improved soo much.

He would help. The Lakers had Gasol,Odom,Bynum and Phil Jackson made it work. Size can be an advantage if well utilized. I don't remember saying the Knicks would win the title so chill bruh

Lol the team should expect nothing from the best player it has? I'm not saying the Mavs are going all the way but its Early days men!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:01am On Nov 19, 2012
The Lakers must be counting their stars/ luck by selling Bynum, that Kid might never attain his potentials, he's just too injury prone, he went bowling last night and messed up his other leg, now the December target is unrealistic, Wishing him quicker recovery, i don't envy the Sixers right now.
Re: The NBA Begins by Mynd44: 8:05am On Nov 19, 2012
Apart from the Celtics, I guess this morning's games went as expected.

Roland. What's happening na. My eastern team ain't impressing me
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:15am On Nov 19, 2012
Honestly i feel worse than anyone here, Poor rebounding has made this season traumatic to say the least for me, we looked very tired against the pistons, shots were not falling in, rebounding the ball has been our problem and most athletic teams have taken advantage of this problem, we have been out-rebounded (Defensive and Offensive) even when we won games, weak side defense is worse.

Last season we were punished by Greg Monroe and Maxil and i was not surprised they did the same thing yesterday..
Re: The NBA Begins by Mynd44: 8:38am On Nov 19, 2012
I have to say, they looked weak. I mean it was just sad watching them play like that

You people better start cheering for the Knicks! At the moment they look like the only team that can stop Miami in the East

Spurs vs Clippers should be live time to see how well they matchup after the Clips playoff sweep

Truth!!!!!!!!!
And Billups isn't even back yet. I'd like to see how they handle OKC although I find that team really dangerous

Irving and Captain Jack out for at least a month potentially really bad news for the Cavs

Lol I'm convinced Cuban is planning a mega-trade somewhere along the line this season! Losing to the Warriors? These niggas can't be serious men

Lakers are looking good but would like to see how they fare against OKC,Clippers,Grizzlies just to be sure they've turned the corner

And D'Antoni cops his first loss against the worst team in the West! Seems the Lakers are going back to them early post-shaq days when only Kobe played ball. Even at 34 ninja is still comfortably leading the scorer's chart
Somebody tell Dwight to stop clowning and take off that headband grin grin

That Clippers vs Thunder game was live!

Shoulda waited till Kobe retired! I mean just look at how Kobe is still balling! And Duncan too. Puts a lot of younger guys in this league to shame including Dwight

18 points 9 rebounds and 4 assists, for K.G tonight against a younger and more athletic Thunder bench really gladdened my heart, a first round Hall of Fame ballot without any doubt, we came out with a good fight, our bench outscored the thunders bench, am glad our rebounding improved especially offensively, i hope we can rectify that aspect of our game.

Good win tonight, guys, i think Memphis are on a mission this season, i just hope they can put it together in the post season.
