Here's to another year where Queen James doesn't get his ring.

LBGay.

Well that was quick. I thought we'd get at least a page before the Lebron hate starts pouring in.

Lub it... so king without a RING.

but, wouldn't be suprised if they take it all in this *asterisk shortened season which I think favors them.

Who the hell is saying this season means less since it's shorter?

[rlsib16]

no one. he certainly didnt.


was hoping Crawford would come back to the Knicks but their offer was the lowest money wise.

[GT Eye]

Holy crap, the Thunder lost to the Wizards?

[Dreizehn]

LBGay.

[maskedSONY]

I'm not looking forward to seeing the horrible bball that back to back to back games will produce.

Serious.

And the Lakers open with a back to back to back.

Actually the one team that will be horrible to watch will be the Celtics.

Blake, "I don't care!"

[dtmprojk]

[dtmprojk]

MUST READ if you're a basketball fan.

gonna miss roy and his game. for real.

[2.0smurf]

Do you guys think Oden will ever make a come back? Or follow Roy's footsteps in retiring at a young age.

[Big M]

Oden is a less durable Yao.
Roy screwed himself up coming back way too soon to play in the playoffs that one year. Never got back to normal again.

People knew about Roy's knees before he was drafted.

[Big M]

hes had issues with his knee even before that though.

True. I just think that playing in the 2010 playoffs against the suns a week after meniscus surgery accelerated things. Then again, I'm not a doctor.

Either way it's sad to see him leave the game IMHO way too early. Trailblazers have some bad juju/karma

Great videos on roy here.

Dude! Kaman looks like Old Man Marley from Home Alone.

According to a recent poll Kris Humphries is the most hated player in the NBA. If the Lakers hadn't traded Odom they would have had 3 of the Top 10.

He was booed last night at the garden.

[GT Eye]

He was booed last night at the garden.

WE WANT HUMP WE WANT HUMP

the crowd shouted that throughout the second half....presumably to get another chance to boo his ass

[Dreizehn]

Yes, he was. "We want Humphries!" Classic.

Two problems for the Knicks:

1) Dwight Howard becomes a Net

2) "Brooklyn" Nets

I think #1 is worse just because fans will flock to the Brooklyn Nets and become "die-hards" overnight, ONLY IF Dwight goes there.

Knicks are going to have to do something - big.

[Fritz27]

Except Brandon Bass, of course. Dude is making Orlando look like **** for trading him away for Big Baby.

That trade was done at Dwight's behest. No joke.

:|

[Big M]

That trade was done at Dwight's behest. No joke.

So, if they listen to Dwight's ideas like that more often, Dwight will stay?
I knew Bass was gonna blow up as soon as I heard about that trade.

Poor Orlando. I never really believed it to be such an undesirable city for stars.

Pretty much.

I think Orlando is like a teaser. It's like Diet Los Angeles. Close but not the real thing.

[GT Eye]

Joe-han Petro.....the man!

Nets 1-0

I da Hump!!!

[rlsib16]

im glad Shumpert's knee injury isnt any more serious. like Big M said, it looked a lot worse.
hopefully Toney can shore up his D or else the Knicks are gonna get killed by PG's all season.

[titleist1976]

I still hate the Maloofs, but go Kings! We'll see how they do on a back-to-back tonight. Hopefully that's something their youthfulness can edge opponents with this season.

[GT Eye]

ugh, Amateur Night at Prudential Center. Dont thnk the Nets are coming back from this one...

[6603]

Fire d'antoni.

No D. Lousy jump shots, no dribble penetration, no pick and roll.
